Do Americans have a vitamin D problem? Here's what health experts say: 'You have to be really careful.' (via CNBCMakeIt)

But Covid concerns aside, doctors have mixed opinions on the supplement. Some say that when taken in moderation, it's a harmless daily pill that can only help most Americans. Others argue that it's a largely pointless expenditure — and that in most cases, it's irresponsible to even test patients for vitamin D deficiencies.

If you're breaking bones during simple activities, experiencing bone pain to the touch or feeling enough muscle pain or weakness to keep you from being able to comfortably get out of chairs, you should consult your doctor about a potential vitamin D deficiency, Moseley says. Generalized fatigue and low mood may also be correlated with deficiencies, she adds — and you may be at particular risk if you have darker skin or if you spend your winters in places at high latitudes.

"As scientists, we have to be very careful about how we approach our patients," Vyas says. "We don't want to say, 'Oh, you're tired,' or, 'Oh, you're depressed, let me check your vitamin D levels,' because there are so many [potential] reasons for that.

Sfeir says you can safely address the issue early by ingesting roughly 600 to 800 international units of vitamin D per day. If you can get that entirely from your diet, you may never need supplements, he says — so consider tracking how much vitamin D you're getting from sources like fortified milk and orange juice, or fatty fish like salmon or mackerel.

MakeIt 'And while scientists are still trying to determine if it can lessen the severity of infections, due to its immune-bolstering benefits, it’s certainly no replacement for getting vaccinated.' 🤣🤣🤣🤣

MakeIt do not take Vitamin D get vaccinated ..ok I got it...

MakeIt Very predictable response from the corporate propaganda media.

MakeIt Vitamin D is essential, that us WHY WE CAN Produce it naturally by being exposed to sunlight. Supplementing it has also shown to help inany areas of health. But it can't be exploited by the 'experts' to make $$$, so they talk it down.

MakeIt Don't worry the brain is draining from here you will find for these solution to too fast ,sharp attraction of mind is plus point of solving you're countries problems ,so just relaxed

MakeIt 💯'COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, and a Mortality Rate Close to ZERO Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3' 10/21 'Vitamin D deficiency was found in 82.2% of COVID-19 cases' 4/21

MakeIt Remember that 'health experts' are the talking heads of the pharma and healthcare companies. They want you sick. Vitamin D is their enemy.

MakeIt Not to overdose! Check calcium supplements with vitamin D! See how much and carefully !

Looks like the health experts have us all figured out!

MakeIt The American people need a lot of vitamins D ,B12 🧠 , and especially vitamins B6 , B12 for joy Biden 😊 functioning well brain 🧠 😳 washed 😳 🙄 😀 😑 🤣 😒

MakeIt How many people in US overdose on Vit D per year? I have never heard of anyone but there must be official stats in this

MakeIt My wife doesn’t have a vitamin D problem

MakeIt Its because Vitamin D meams Dollar to USA

MakeIt Sure you have to be careful .05 cent drug deficiency generates only $60 billion in Pharma revenues not to mention health systems 🙄

MakeIt Nothing is impossible, even the words itself says 'I'm possible'. EchoSteven50 Him credibility cannot be overlooked, his legitimacy is proven globally, with him I'm earning weekly from investing my own money. Connect with him for greatness..EchoSteven50

MakeIt This is actually really interesting. The last time I had blood taken they test my vitamin d levels. My insurance then kicked it back and charged me $135 for just that test as they said it wasn’t covered unless I was diagnosed with a condition that would need that test.

MakeIt 👌

MakeIt Staying in the office for too long is less likely to get sunburn

MakeIt Let’s talk to the pill pushers who got Covid completely wrong. BS

MakeIt Corporate media calls big pharma shills 'experts' I would say they have been wrong about everything, but they are actually intentionally misleading Disclose Pfizer's ad spend with CNBC

MakeIt Start with TikTok first.

MakeIt Taking vitamins and leading a healthy lifestyle is collectively more preventative and safer than getting vaccinated with poison some company is pushing for profit. Snake oil sellers never went away. Credibility doesnt magically reappear for sellouts either. Plane of vision.

MakeIt American diet is very bad. Those fast food meals are bad for health..!!

MakeIt Stop blocking the sun ..

MakeIt Blood tests resulted in my having to take 50,000IU weekly. Aches and pains, from muscle atrophy apparently, have disappeared, and sleep is much better.

MakeIt Just head on outside and soak up some good 'ol sunshine!

MakeIt This article is misleading. My vitamin D levels were below 30 about 3 years ago. I take 5000 IU per day and now my levels are 75 and I am much healthier now.

MakeIt

MakeIt lekjaa_corrupt lekjaa_corrompu لقجع_فاسد

MakeIt I do bc I'm stuck indoors 6 months out of the year bc of being winter

MakeIt Doctors dont have mixed opinions on if VitaD is good for you. You just shouldnt supplement all of it thru non-natural sources. Get some Sun light, eat some eggs and drink some OJ. you will be fine

MakeIt Not getting your shitty shot

MakeIt Nah, I’m good. I eat the Sun.

MakeIt A splendid question for liberal-agenda-cheerleader CNBC to have asked three years ago during the lockdowns. Lockdowns that contributed to depriving Americans from vitamin D which is produced from exposure to the sun.

MakeIt big pharma sponsored post

MakeIt CNBC now openly putting Americans at risk of worse outcomes from covid by pushing that Americans take too much vitamin D. Half the population is deficient

MakeIt I take vitamin C, D and zinc everyday, I have never caught Covid after dozens of exposures that I know of.

MakeIt Okay guys this is like the 14th time this week that you've posted this article

MakeIt This is madness that CNBC is straight up putting out fear. Ask people over 50- they have been taking 5,000IU’s for years! Literally just ask your doctor to test for vit D levels… then stop the fear mongering

MakeIt 'health experts say: 'Yo...' Take your D!

MakeIt Shit with all this 'women empowerment' going around I don't think any women more specifically hoes are lacking in the vitamin D.....

MakeIt Yes, I am taking vit D pill everyday

MakeIt Ok, just the title is condescending and juvenile. So, now you’re going to pull the “Ivermectin is horse dewormer” bull crap with Vitamin D3? Yeah, you will, because you know as well as the CDC and FDA that it works. Here comes the ridiculous coverup and gaslighting. Just Stop! 🤡

MakeIt This is like the 5th time this article has been posted this week

MakeIt I don’t even need to open this link to know it’s pushes Pfizer talking points which is Vitamin D is no big deal. Basically the opposite of the truth so their sponsors can keep raking billions.

MakeIt We know better… is the fbi behind this 🤣😅👀🤡

MakeIt Oh piss off you utter shills

MakeIt They don’t want you figuring out vitamin D enhances your immune system and that it’s free to get from sunlight

MakeIt Where was this article during covid?

MakeIt Yeah go in the sun light bro. Problem solved. If where you live has none, then take vitamin d supplements.

MakeIt got milk

MakeIt Americans have a deficiency in mist vitamins due to the diet sols to them. Profits to be made with obesity

MakeIt Maybe democrats shouldn’t have locked everyone in their homes

MakeIt Didn’t block you… sorry but I read that shit 🤦🏻‍♂️ Blocked

MakeIt Or just eat eggs, stop upping their prices to encourage Covid spread. Plus, eggs push out the spiked proteins. Wayyy better than a supplement slave pill

MakeIt 😛

MakeIt This article is a little bit misleading...it glosses over the fact that Vitamin D is synthesized inside the body[much to be discussed about this process] and also that people with darker skin need much more than people with lighter skin. I believe cod liver oil and some mushrooms…

MakeIt I wonder how foundmyfitness feels about this article.

MakeIt If you are middle-aged, it is good for your joints to eat I also take medicine to improve my eyesight!~

MakeIt I took vitamin D after work Relieves pain in joints and muscles However, calcium and vitamin D When I took it together, I had stones and went to the emergency room. You can't take it with milk. You should only take vitamin D

MakeIt After the protests of the people and women of Iran in the field of compulsory hijab and violence against women, the government of the mullahs, Manijhe_Hekmat, the director and producer of cinema, was banned from going out, trading and working. MahsaAmini

MakeIt Vitamin D pills give nightmares. Beware, especially when you start talking in your sleep and punching and kicking. Just try getting some sunshine on you everyday. Simple fix. Thank me later.

MakeIt Oh Really! Look who's talking! 'In GOD they trust', but everyone of them in his/her own 'GOD'. Not in the Real One, who teached them 'Do Not Lie'. How can you pray for forgiveness when you still live in the same Lie over and over again anyway?! Not possible!

MakeIt Umm yes we do ….

MakeIt REVB $REVB

MakeIt Still pushing poison vax?!

MakeIt

MakeIt We have a fake news liberal propaganda problem! 💯🤡🌎

MakeIt Oh shut up will you already?

MakeIt Vitamin D prevents covid deaths, so Big Reveal: MSDNC is shilling for Big Pharma…

MakeIt LOL!!! Believe the mainstream media.....🤣🤣🤣

MakeIt Guess that’s what happens when you see inside for three years.

MakeIt Yes careful, Pharma doesn't want anyone getting better without their 'help'.

MakeIt Eat more beef 🥩

MakeIt The same health experts that advocated for the vaccines as being safe and effective?

MakeIt Majority of the worldwide population has this vit D deficiency

MakeIt I translate this: Amaricans are unhappy.

MakeIt I agree. Vitamin D has not been tested on 8 rats yet.

MakeIt Enough sunlight?

MakeIt Try and get some sun - even in the winter.

MakeIt They make you pay for a Vitamin D blood test, then they make you pay for an 8 week supply of a 50,000iu pill when you could just go stand outside in the sun. Who are we paying for this dumb shit?

MakeIt americans have always had a problem with vitamins, but we shall leave that for Dr.OZ or rather doctor ounces to solve

'No worries, we can always get our vitamin D from the sun...oh wait...'

MakeIt Don’t people take yearly physicals? You doctor will tell you if you are overdoing it on the vitamins.

MakeIt FatEmperor

MakeIt This is a big pharma shill article, look up: “the vitamin D debacle” on YouTube if you want real research by the leading doctors who spend their lifetime researching vitamin D.

MakeIt ...It's no replacement 4 the Covid Vax bc it isn't Jesus and can't raise u from the dead like Lazarus!

MakeIt The correlation of low vitamin D and autoimmune disorders is widely known.

MakeIt After bloodwork my child was D deficient and he takes supplements every damn day.

MakeIt big pharma needs to juice profits and cheap, effective vitamin d is cutting into its turf

MakeIt

MakeIt Go. Outside.

MakeIt No free sun in the upper Midwest winters. 😏

MakeIt Have to be careful? Talk about a wildly misleading headline. Credibility remains close to zero cnbc yikes.

MakeIt Disclosure: Scott Gottlieb is a CNBC contributor and is a member of the board of Pfizer

MakeIt Isn’t vitamin D is for free by the sun ?

MakeIt Just go outside once and a while.

MakeIt Huh. My doc tested my vitamin D out of the blue and said I was deficient. Now I'm on a supplement with no adverse symptoms to the deficiency. 🙄

MakeIt obesity problem

MakeIt experts

MakeIt Not only vitamin D, supplements are available for all the vitamins and nutrients like magnesium, calcium etc. We should avoid the supplements and try to reach heathy foods.

MakeIt The 'quote' is inexact. They said 'you have to really be careful'

MakeIt Actually, we've got a Biden problem.

MakeIt I get plenty of Vitamin D.

MakeIt I totally disagree with this article. My oncologist told me in 2004 that almost all women with breast cancer had a seriously low Vitamin D level before they were diagnosed with breast cancer. Same with osteopenia/osteoporosis. Taking 5000IU once a day is not a toxic dose.

MakeIt Americans have a following the Democrats blindly deficiency. Lies on top of lies are designated TRUTHS by the fake news. Let's review: laptop 💻 Russia Russia Russia FBI lies DOJ lies HLS lies CIA lies. All the Democrat ran organization must be removed for 50 years.

MakeIt Lock yourself back up in your basement. It works so so well. Biden must do it again

MakeIt Being in the sun 30 minutes a day will do the trick.

MakeIt Americans have racial problems not a vitamine problems

MakeIt you want people to be unhealthy little 90 pound twinks

MakeIt Take vitamins & get a little sun! Americans have become couch potatoes! Look at Harry & Megan...live in paradise & get spray on tan!?🇺🇸

MakeIt Americas have problems with anything a corp thinks they can make money off of. They convince the ppl it’s a problem and make us pay to fix it. That’s an American tradition. Ex: formula Nestlé.

MakeIt The organization is pure government propaganda and has reached peak pointless. Even leftists would be better off without this bunch of shills.

MakeIt As we experienced in the aftermath of the virus leak, most doctors will side with their association leaders and who is paying their bills, and the rest are suppressed to further the agenda.

MakeIt You guys are two years late and two dollars short, to no one's surprise.

MakeIt after 3 years of KNOWING that vitamin D deficiency was a major comorbidity with COVID, the mainstream media is now talking about it. 🤨

MakeIt Maybe you should stick to financial news

MakeIt They put supplements in food they need to quit telling me anything and do more for the FDA bullshiting.

MakeIt There are actual vitamin D experts, such as Michael Holick, M.D., PhD. He is not cited of course in preference of 'medical experts' who may have no background in the subject area. Why? Sloppy reporting or an agenda?

MakeIt This is hands down one of the most irresponsible articles I've read this year.

MakeIt Guess where the most abundant source of FREE Vitamin D comes from? Go get some fkn daily sun!

MakeIt I take 20,000 ius for years . I take no meds of any kind. Deadlift 2 times my body eight and bench 1.5 times. And do 14 mile Spartan races. My D3 levels is upper normal on blood test

MakeIt The optimal Vit D level is between 70 and 75. Over 75 can cause calcium to build up. The 'normal ' range on chart starts at 30 which is too low for Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiencies major cause of Auto Immune disorders.

MakeIt I'm just here for the onslaught of jokes to come

MakeIt Simply … yes… and if you take Vitamin D your Covid symptoms will usually be less intense. Speaking for myself and the recommendation of my doctor. Not advice.

MakeIt MehdiKarami is only 22 ! He's in danger of being executed by the Islamic Republic for seeking freedom! Mehdi and dozens of other protesters are tried without their lawyers. Be his voice! Qu

MakeIt MehdiKarami is only 22 ! He's in danger of being executed by the Islamic Republic for seeking freedom! Mehdi and dozens of other protesters are tried without their lawyers. Be his voice! Qi

MakeIt My V D Was so low I needed under the counter stuff

MakeIt Some people are allergic to vitamin D and don't even know it. Vitamin D can make it hard to breathe for those who are allergic to it. And some people take it before bed, unknowingly putting themselves in harm's way.

MakeIt More of an existential problem at home and abroad.

MakeIt This is bs, i used it during the pandemic and still do,advised my mom, we all made out fine no hospitalizations.

MakeIt Two years too late

MakeIt This is murder imo

MakeIt I have taken 10,000 units of Vitamin D a day for years. I have had my vitamin D level checked every year and it’s great about 60. Definitely helps the immune system. You need huge doses to be toxic

MakeIt Lithium dioxide poisoning is one common cause for this. Call me a tinfoil hat wacko but look at the scene and the stratospheric testing by NASA of the element oxide.

MakeIt This article is a joke. You cite a guy who took 150,000 IUs per day of Vitamin D and was hospitalized. Of course he was, as anyone would be for taking that much of anything! And please stop pushing the mRNA shots. Everyone knows that they are not safe and they are not effective.

MakeIt I give my wife Vitamin D every night.

MakeIt Drink more milk.

MakeIt Ingest 10 different pharmaceuticals a day. No problem. Vitamin D = deadly. This is journalism in America.

MakeIt Dont believe in CNBC. Distraction from Biden

MakeIt I SAID THIS YEARS AGO. 🙄

MakeIt Can give you some of that vitamin D anytime, just ask

MakeIt K2 + D to be exact if you're looking for the best full spectrum benefits

MakeIt Oh yea. I believe you. What are the long term effects of the vaccination? That’s right, no one knows. But yet, we have to be really careful of Vitamin D. Right.

MakeIt 'Vitamin D doesn’t prevent you from getting the virus. And while scientists are still trying to determine if it can lessen the severity of infections, due to its immune-bolstering benefits, it’s certainly no replacement for getting vaccinated.' yall are pathetic

MakeIt Hit piece on Vitamin D because they want you sick.

MakeIt Vitamin D3 beats covid. That's why big pharma funded cnbc does not want you to take a vitamin.

MakeIt I like how the studies you cite aren’t using D3 and just D which is a less effective version

MakeIt Whole milk and sunshine. It's what many generations grew up with...

MakeIt I think the problem is fake news from MSM

MakeIt You could also read this:

MakeIt Vitamin D is more of a hormone than it is a vitamin. Don’t believe this propaganda from big pharma and the hospital industry. They want you unhealthy so you come crawling to THEM

MakeIt Pure propaganda. Stay inside and hide all winter while being deficient in vitamin D. Why do you think Black people got covid the worst? Could it be their dark skin blocking out a lot vitamin d that would have helped them if they supplemented? Hmm it’s a tough one 🤡

MakeIt It can also be used as a rat poison. Google it.

MakeIt They have must catch plus sun.

MakeIt Nope they have a gay problem. Gay is not normal. Only .05 percent of humans are gay. So why must you force this on the rest. It is not normal at all. Please seek help for yourself and family.

MakeIt We have a corruption problem.

MakeIt I say what I believe"

MakeIt Shame cnbc for ignoring the hundreds of studies that showed clear efficacy of VitD. Perhaps your woke propaganda is why you have no engagement?!?

MakeIt “Very careful” - what a joke. Way to stay on your talking points of the corporate/state press.

MakeIt Liberals told us to stay inside during Covid.

MakeIt This Tweet should be listed as spam. Paid for by Pfizer I’m sure

MakeIt doctors have a mixed opinions? lol oK , translation theres ZERO research or 'science' behind this

MakeIt Sunshine is free.

MakeIt Sun ☀️ is free —

In a world where people rarely exercise or get enough sunlight some doctors have mixed opinion on getting sufficent vitamin D? Dear god.. no wonder so many people passed away of covid with low vitamin D levels.

MakeIt Had my annual physical last week. I take 100 mcg Vit D3 a day. Doc said my bloodwork showed excellent levels of Vit D. Does that really mean anything? Who knows. My healthnut college roommate died of cancer at 24. Just go out & enjoy this amazing free gift of life. 🌞

MakeIt “I have just the solution for you, darling 😏” - every man in history.

MakeIt The food industry is a complete joke. Promote UV enriched mushrooms for Vitamin D, far more Vit D vs cow milk that’s injected with Vitamin D. Your article doesn’t even mention mushrooms…

MakeIt Americans and other western countries have a processed food problem. No pill is going to fix this!

MakeIt You don't need supplements. Eat Salmon twice a week. Eat cod liver once in a blue moon. There is no evidence supplements improve health other than for extremely deficient people. it's a scam industry. Put down the twinkies and go eat some real food.

MakeIt 🤡…getting vaccinated 🤡

MakeIt Common Sense!

MakeIt Adelantándose 🤔

MakeIt I asked my girlfriend and she said she gets plenty of D at the office, whatever that means.

MakeIt Snip, snip!! Happy 1st gang tattoo day, again!!

MakeIt I have low levels, the pils are so expensive.

MakeIt How much does Fauci take ?

MakeIt I’ve been putting more effort into going outside. To get some sun light. Even if it’s only for 5-10 minutes.

MakeIt CNBC runs far more stories about the danger of vitamins than the danger of prescription opiods; which is the real story

MakeIt I don’t think so 🤔 with all these fatherless kids out here!😂🤣

MakeIt No they have an inflation problem

MakeIt If they are telling you it's not effective you can rest assured it is imperative for your health.

MakeIt With inflation so high and the US 'D'ollar unable to hold its value, sure ALL Americans have a Vitamin 'D'ollar Deficiency!!!

MakeIt Vitamin D and C are great daily. Many in US medical establishment love to push drugs to line their pockets.

MakeIt Oh boy, sounds like some company wants to take your already exploited $$$

MakeIt Americans are more concerned about the inflation problem.

MakeIt You might report on the incidence of vitamin D deficiency.

MakeIt The vaxed get covid more than the unvaxed. And they get very ill or die. Read different sources.
