What the Evidence Says

AI-generated · Qwen 3.6 · grounded in 1 source · methodology

Vitamin D3 is supported by strong evidence for maintaining bone health and supporting immune function. However, the high dosage of 5,000 IU may lead to toxicity or hypercalcemia in some individuals. These safety concerns contribute to the lower safety score for this specific potency.
