Vitamin D helps the body use calcium and supports bone health. More is not always better, and supplements can interact with treatment. Your team can explain whether testing or a supplement fits your situation and how it relates to your other medicines.
Keep your visit instructions beside this page. Ask your care team to explain anything unclear and write down your agreed next step.
