The Endocrine Society updated their guidelines for 2024 to advise against routine vitamin D screening and routine supplementation for certain populations, including non-pregnant adults aged 19 to 74. The Society cited lack of definitive clinical data to support the benefits, and this reverses previous guidelines that recommended supplementation among all age groups. Is this a good policy, and if vitamin D supplementation is truly justified, why is there a lack of conclusive scientific evidence?

A viewer asks: “Professor Angus Dalgleish, the chair of oncology at St George’s, University of London, has conducted research and clinical work on the role of vitamin D in cancer, particularly focusing on its potential benefits for cancer patients. He prescribes very high doses of vitamin D to some cancer patients to raise their blood levels significantly to boost vitamin D levels to around 100 nmol/L. How beneficial, as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment approach, are such doses likely to be and how variable in outcomes for different patient demographics?” What can Creator tell us?
