Vitamin D supplements don't build bones: Lancet study

According to a new study published in The Lancet Journal, taking vitamin D supplements has no impact on bone health. It only helps in preventing rare conditions like rickets and osteomalacia. Contrary to common belief, the supplements, irrespective of the dose, do not prevent falls or fractures. Researchers from the University of Auckland, reviewed 81 studies and found no meaningful effect of vitamin D supplementation when it came to reducing any fractures or falls.
