(STUDY FINDS) — CALGARY, Alberta — Everybody needs some vitamin D to help absorb calcium and build healthy, strong bones, but are people overdoing it with vitamin D supplements? That’s the question posed by University of Calgary researchers who say too much vitamin D can actually be detrimental to bone health.
Just 10-15 minutes spent in the sun while wearing a bathing suit is enough for our bodies to produce all the vitamin D we will need for the day. However, many people who live in areas with sparse access to sunlight in the winter months, such as Canada, end up taking vitamin D supplements every day to get their daily dose.
