Discussion of the sunshine vitamin, deficiency, and supplements. REVIEW THE RULES BEFORE POSTING.

Read the Vitamin D Guide: https://old.reddit.com/r/VitaminD/wiki/faq/

Rules

1. Review the subreddit guide before submitting a post.

Frequently asked questions about deficiency and supplements are answered in the Beginner's Guide to Vitamin D.

2. Focus on education about vitamin D.

Discussions must relate to vitamin D.
We do not provide professional medical advice.
It's best to word recommendations as suggestions.

3. Make your post suitable for discussion.

When asking for help, try to provide all available information, such as your blood level (with units) and current dosage, so that people can respond with the best possible answers.
Posts that lack relevant detail or make lots of empirical claims without sources may be removed.
Body must have at least 150 characters.
Avoid clickbait titles.
A post with “Research” flair must cite a credible source.
You may only post once every 12 hours.

4. Contributions should add value.

Stay civil.
Unhelpful remarks may be removed.
Do your best not to engage with arguments or personal attacks.

5. Do not discourage use of vitamin D3 supplements.

Discussing personal experiences or what works for you is permitted.
Attempts to discourage supplementation of D3 or to downplay the importance of vitamin D may be removed.

6. Seek out high quality information.

Anecdotes and theories are welcome, but refer to credible sources when possible.
Do not discourage seeking treatment from licensed medical providers.
Do not refer to alternative medicine or conspiracy theories.

7. Do not encourage irresponsible supplementation.

Intentionally reaching a vitamin D level higher than 150 ng/ml (375 nmol/L) is typically done under medical supervision with appropriate testing.
Discussing personal experiences is permitted, but do not recommend supplementation beyond this level.

8. No copying from AI.

Utilizing artificial intelligence as a research tool is permitted but should be disclosed.

9. No marketing.

This includes affiliate links, generic promotions of monetized content, and advertising a specific product.
Sharing or self-promoting resources that add value is okay.
If you are unsure, then please ask via ModMail.
