A member asked:
Can vitamin d3 supplementation cause ir speed up calcification of the aortic valve (age related stenosis)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly UNLESS...: Whether vit d increases aortic valve calcification is unknown; it is theoretically possible but research clearly shows vit d deficiency increases vascular calcification. While i advise everyone to take vit d3 in winter months it is wise to take vit k2 along with it to minimize any risk of calcification.
