Is it really important to take vitamin d with calcium supplement? is it serious if you do not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The D3 is important,: not the calcium supplement. D3 required for intestinal cells to absorb calcium from food, the bone forming cells to form bone, muscle (including heart) strength, immune function. However too much can be toxic. Thus do not blindly take. Instead check & optimize blood concentrations (by blood sample) in upper normal, e.g. 70-80 ng/ml, range. If D3 good, calcium pills likely a waste of money.
