Vitamin D supplements have been widely touted as a cure-all based on weak observational evidence and animal data. Unfortunately, these data have not been well-supported by the randomized controlled trial data. In this episode, we examine a potential harm of vitamin D supplements within the normal range of supplementation: bone mineral density loss. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there was a dose-response relationship between vitamin D supplementation and bone mineral density loss, with increasing loss seen at 4,000 IU and 10,000 IU (PMID 31454046). If you are at risk for osteoporosis and want to take vitamin D supplements, please talk with you doctor, as these data indicate that high-dose vitamin D supplements may enhance risk for the disease.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/
