Vitamin D is one of the most recommended supplements for adults over 60, but does it actually prevent muscle loss, improve strength, or reduce falls?
Many believe `vitamin d supplements` are essential for `elderly health`, especially when `low vitamin d symptoms` are perceived. However, major studies reveal these supplements often show no improvement in strength, balance, or ability to `prevent fractures` for the average older adult. We question if we’re chasing a number or truly improving `bone health`, encouraging a re-evaluation of vitamin D’s real impact.

Even more surprising, some studies suggest supplements may do very little for strength unless someone is severely deficient.
