The July 28th issue of The New England Journal of Medicine included results from a large, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of vitamin D supplementation to lower the risk of fractures in middle-aged and older adults who were not selected based on gender, vitamin D deficiency, low bone mass, or osteoporosis. Supplementation with vitamin D3 2000IU/day did not reduce the risk of fractures over a median follow-up of 5.3 years (MS LeBoff et al. N Engl J Med 2022; 387:299). The article was accompanied by an editorial reminding readers that the results of previous studies had shown that vitamin D supplementation did not prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, or a host of other conditions and urging providers not to screen patients for vitamin D deficiency and not to recommend use of vitamin D supplements (SR Cummings and C Rosen. N Engl J Med 2022; 387:368).
A 10-year-old page from The Medical Letter reproduced below with 2 updated tables reported a similar recommendation on this subject from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The tables offer some dietary alternatives for patients who are reluctant to stop taking vitamin D.

Another example of junk science. How do they choose these starting doses? Were serial samples measured? Do you trust self reporting? Vitamin D 2000 units will rarely move the meter. And good research into the subject reveals Vitamin D must be paired with adequate doses of Vitamin K2.
Most quality labs will quote Vitamin D levels in segments. 15 ng/ml is deficient. 100 ng/ml is excess. A level of 30-40 is barely sufficient.
Good qualified reviewers of the literature will often repeat that 80% of medical studies are worthless. This is a good example.
