Abstract

Vitamin D supplementation appears to be potential for reducing risks of cancer cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases existing evidence on its benefits and risks is inadequate and debatable. Questions remain as to whether supplementation of Vitamin D playing any role in the above mentioned diseases. In the absence of compelling evidence for benefit taking supplement is producing any risk or not. While sorting the various positive and negative claims for Vitamin D it attracts an urgent need for further research and review on reports to answer fundamental questions about the risks and benefits of supplementation. There still remains a great need to advance our understanding regarding the effectiveness of Vitamin D. This review gives an overview on disputes of Vitamin D supplementation that is convincing and interventional regarding burning issues of Vitamin D therapy. Beyond its use to prevent osteomalacia or rickets the evidence for other health effects of vitamin D supplementation in the general inhabitants is conflicting. It is a well known predictability that any effective substance also has unwanted side effects so clear cut evidence regarding the safety is required before supplementing Vitamin D for pathological conditions and other health benefits.
