The headline "Why Vitamin D Supplements Don't Work" is disingenuous.
You concisely explain why vitamin D supplements are not appropriately metabolized in individuals with existing morbidities without delving into the reasons for those existing morbidities.

Just saying taking a D supplement doesn't work iin existing illness is akin to saying a small sticking plaster on a severed artery won't ever stop the bleeding.
Bloody obvious, and irrelevant to the function of a supplement.
Is it better to have adequate sunlight and be healthy in the first place?
Of course it is.
Look after your liver and your kidneys, without good function of both you won't metabolize cholecalciferol, wherever it comes from.
And talk to Bill Gates about the sunlight, because we are getting less and less of it!
Thank you Ralph for your comment. I can understand where you're coming from - but I, along with other readers, have also had issues taking D, regardless of any other health complications. I think the headline rings true - since they don't work, however going into the reasons of those morbidities is a good suggestion. Thank you.
I think it completely fair to state that vitamin D doesn't work for some people.
Nothing works for everyone, or for everything.
Like anything else, if taken to excess it can create problems, but these are always reversed on cessation (unless there is undue persistence).
More likely, there are deficiencies in co-factors, such as LDL cholesterol (more commonplace now modern medicine insists cholesterol is bad for you and statins are routinely taken).
And don't forget Gates is doing his best to block sunlight. This will NOT be helping maintain natural levels.

I appreciate the courteous reply Roman.
