Low vitamin d levels (specifically the d3 kind) have been linked with cancer, heart issues and issues with bone density. You can’t just start popping pills though, you need to have your levels tested and then supplement if they’re low. And subsequently be restested.

What dose works for one person might be a drop in the bucket for another. What’s sufficient for one might be way way way too much for someone else. It’s a very individual thing.

Also ask your doc about k2. Have to be careful supplementing with that one if you’re a heart patient or any kind of blood thinning drugs. but k2 and d3 work synergistically. So ask when you ask about the d3.

And if you subsequently get a scrip for ‘vitamin d’, make sure it’s the d3 form. the d2 form is plant vitamin d and is poorly and inefficiently converted in mammals to vitamin d3.
