That kind of headline is usually sensationalized. Pharmacists and doctors do not generally “warn everyone against vitamin D”—rather, they warn about incorrect dosing or unnecessary high-dose use. Vitamin D is essential for: Bone health (helps absorb calcium) Muscle function Immune system support But like any supplement, it can cause problems if misused. What the real …
