There are many dietary supplements that you may take for just about anything. The one that sticks out is vitamin D. However, there could be risks.
Vitamin D helps with strong bones and may help prevent some cancers. But some sources claim that supplementing with vitamin D is harmful if you are low in vitamin K.
If you choose to supplement with vitamin D, you also need to consume in your food, or take in supplement form, vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 works together with Vitamin D3 to support healthy bones, says Dr. John Tsagaris – an expert in Chinese medicines.
