A member asked:
I read some article online a while back saying that supplementing with vitamin d3 could cause calcification of heart valves/ arteries? is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very safe but...: Vitamin d3 is very safe ; of tremendous benefit for preventing many illnesses. It helps our bodies to absorb calcium. I advise everyone to take d in the fall ; winter months. But it's also wise to take vitamin k (or eat foods rich in vit k) as that helps assure the calcium goes into our bones ; doesnnot wind up in our arteries or heart valves.
