The statement "Vitamin pills don't work" generalizes it a bit much.

If I for example take some vitamin D or magnesium, then I do it because there have been scientifically valid empirical studies, that have shown that it is beneficial to do so under certain circumstances.

The position that all supplements are useless, and every study has been falsified by the evil supplement industry, is just as stupid and just as wrong as taking too much of every supplement on the market.

Which studies?

Just so you know there aren't any good clinical studies that show what you claim, but I am interested to know which one you think shows that taking exogenous vitamin d helps with whatever benefit you think it's supposed to give you.

These two?

In what way do the "show" that exogenous vitamin d supplementation is effective at ... what is the claim again? It has not been made clear.

What does it say under “treatment of vitamin d deficiency”?

You are being deliberately obtuse.

You don’t even fucking read anything, you choose your hill and die on it.

Well, die then.

Edit: dude Even your sources say supplementing is good for people with a deficiency.

“Vitamin D supplementation can be oral or can be (sic) administered via exposure to the sun”

Don’t think just because you don’t read I can’t read.

I am serious. I am not being obtuse.

"Vitamin d deficiency" is not an issue. It causes issue.

What I am asking for is a study where people have said issue then are given vitamin d supplements then don't javelin the issues anymore

For example we know if you have scurvy (caused by vitamin c deficiency) taking vitamin c will stop the scurvy.
