I read the OP and all the comments here. I&amp;#x27;ve followed the subject of vitamin D supplementation and whether it&amp;#x27;s generally effective or overused for over 40 years, and I&amp;#x27;m still uncertain.</text></comment>

So what?&lt;p&gt;The treatment is probably a little ahead of the science, but the answer to that is better science.&lt;p&gt;It makes sense to me that people get less sun than before, and therefore have lower and less consistent vitamin D levels. It doesn&amp;#x27;t feel unnatural to me... I think of it more like a replacement of what we lose by staying indoors more.</text></comment>
