A member asked:
Are vitamin d supplements really good for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if deficient: Vit d deficiency is very common, the best explanation I have is that it is broken down by cadmium a pollutant that has become more prevalent since lead was taken out of gasoline in 1980. Cadmium causes stress and inflammation. If vit d deficiency is present just taking vit d will not be enough. Menstruating women need iron . Zinc and magnesium are necessary and a healthy life style.
