Good catch. The ones I take are indeed softgels, not tablets.

I wrote that post on a tablet, if that counts!

>year ago my PCPhysician told me I was at low end of normal for VitD. Took a 50mcg pill daily. Am now at high end of normal.

It’s ‘cause I don’t get enough sun. Period. If I had the leisure time to sit about in the sun I’d not take the pill.

Just take a pill and quit worrying. BTWay, sufficient VitD also helps fight flu (e.g., like WuhanFlu).

It does not count. Tablets are for children. Get a 17.3” laptop. Or use a computer with a 24” monitor display/ I have used and own 27”and 32” monitors on the same computer, but I prefer 24”. To those who give a ____ this computer is i5-8400, 16gb mem/ a 512gb NVME drive

Dude, I have 3 tablets, 4 PC computers, a Dell PowerEdge R610 Server with 192GB RAM and 8 Terabyte HD, and 2 540 SSDs, and two iPhones.

I write Micrsoft Server and Sys Admin courseware for a living, so I need all this stuff. I got more pc’s I use as servers, but they’re turned off until needed.

Is it cause? Or effect? For example, people getting outdoors are likely to have higher vitamin D levels. People getting outdoors are more active and more likely to DO things compared to those who spend their older years inside.

Not saying supplementing with Vitamin D is bad. I think it makes a lot of sense to supplement SOME. Not mega-doses, but maybe 1-2,000 IU. Cost pennies and seems to have a lot of good results associated with it and almost no down side.

But like most studies I see now, the study design and results aren’t evidence of anything.

Vitamin D can also put calcium into arteries, a bad thing. Lots say to supplement D with K2 to stop that.

You dont’t need to supplement with vitamin k if you don’t take excess vitamin d.
