Since vitamin D has no negative effects and it might provide significant help, it's probably worth trying.

But, it is recommended to discuss it with your doctor first.

Spend 30 minutes walking in daylight and you get your dose.

A, D and Iodine are most chronically deficient in American diets.

After those top 3, it's B-12 and C.

I take one 1000-IU Vitamin D3 tablet a day.

I live in the northeast, where there isn’t much sunlight in the winter. I found that it had a very positive effect on morning stiffness I experienced after sleeping in one position for hours.

However, it is not true that it “has no negative effects.”

Vitamin D is actually a hormone, not a vitamin. More accurately, your body metabolizes vitamin D into a hormone, called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). This is a calcium-regulating hormone.

Taking too much can cause kidney stones, especially in those predisposed to that condition.

I have had kidney stones, so I get a urological workup once a year.

A few years back, my VA provider told me to take Vitamin D everyday. Now I know why and glad I followed her advice.

I posted this to FR 10 years ago:

The Antibiotic Vitamin
"Deficiency in vitamin D may predispose people to infection"

I take 10,000 IU of vitamin D a day and 150mcg of K2.
