Its role as an anti-inflammatory is promising and may lead to even more benefits. In fact, there may be a link between insufficient vitamin D levels and an increased risk of dementia. While early research on vitamin D has yet to show conclusive evidence that taking a vitamin D supplement will prevent illness, both the safety of vitamin D and the easy access to the vitamin supplement lead most doctors to recommend regularly taking the supplement.<\/p><p><strong>Before you start taking vitamin D (or increasing your dose), here\u2019s what you should know.<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Vitamin D &#8211; promotes calcium absorption, reduces inflammation and improves the immune system<\/li><li>It is found in fortified milk and juice, lean meat and fish and made in the body through exposure to sunlight.<\/li><li>Have your doctor test your level of vitamin D before starting any supplements.<\/li><li>Many calcium supplements also contain vitamin D, so be aware before taking additional amounts.<\/li><li>Dosage amounts range from 400-2000 mg per day, depending on your current level.<\/li><li>The upper limit (UL) of vitamin D is 4000 mg per day.
