Reply to comment by turtlenips69 in Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow up period, researchers found that the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest effects seen among those with severe deficiencies. by Wagamaga

The worst thing that can happen if you take the recommended dose is nothing. People really should be tested annually for vitamin D levels. If you're severely deficient normal supplementation won't fix it.

Vitamin D deficiency is known to cause problems, but randomized trials of supplements show no benefit of giving people vitamin D. It’s more likely a correlation not a causation.
