Re: Vitamin D Test Results
Thanks, Jackie!
From the discussion:
"There's evidence that people with a lot of body fat need more vitamin D than lean people."
"Does vitamin D interact with other medications?
Yes. Steroid medications such as prednisone can interfere with vitamin D metabolism. If you take steroid drugs regularly, discuss vitamin D with your doctor."
