Vitamin D Debunked: What You Need to Know


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. JoAnn Manson, but this time we're diving into all things Vitamin D. Sure, you’ve heard it’s great for your bones, but did you know it might also play a role in cancer and heart health? We’re breaking down the latest research from the VITAL study to find out what’s real and what’s hype.

Wondering how much Vitamin D you really need? And should you be getting it from the sun, supplements, or both? We’ll chat about what counts as a healthy level and how your needs might change as you get older, especially for women. Plus, we’ll give you tips on picking the best supplements out there, since the market is flooded with options.

We’re also answering your burning questions: Is there a best time of day to take Vitamin D? Does wearing sunscreen mess with your levels? And do you really need to take it with food or fat? Whether you’re a sun lover or a shade-seeker, we’ve got you covered.
