Vitamin D supplements total scam
Vitamin D supplementation has failed spectacularly in clinical trials. Five years ago, researchers were already warning that it showed zero benefit, and the evidence has only grown stronger. In November, one of the largest and most rigorous trials of the vitamin ever conducted—in which 25,871 participants received high doses for five years—found no impact on cancer, heart disease, or stroke.
How did we get it so wrong? How could people with low vitamin D levels clearly suffer higher rates of so many diseases and yet not be helped by supplementation?
As it turns out, a rogue band of researchers has had an explanation all along. And if they’re right, it means that once again we have been epically misled.
These rebels argue that what made the people with high vitamin D levels so healthy was not the vitamin itself. That was just a marker. Their vitamin D levels were high because they were getting plenty of exposure to the thing that was really responsible for their good health—that big orange ball shining down from above.

Orthopaedic Surgeons continue to prescribe Vitamin D with Calcium. If that does not benefit a patient, either the Govt. prohibit prescribing the Vitamin D etc. or should publish the side effects of consuming these items. In CGHS dispensiries food suppliments and some vitamins are not issued as it has found that those items have no health benefits. more

CGHS dispensaries do not provide food supplements and some vitamins NOT BECAUSE those items have been found to be of no use, BUT BECAUSE they are not regarded as medicines. more
