Why Is Vitamin D So Important?

As the best orthopedic surgeon on Kanakapura Road, I frequently see patients with joint pain, fractures, and early osteoporosis — all of which are worsened by Vitamin D deficiency. This essential nutrient:

  • Enhances calcium absorption in the gut

  • Helps maintain strong bones

  • Reduces the risk of fractures and osteoporosis

  • Supports muscle function and immunity

When Should You Take Vitamin D?

Studies and clinical experience suggest the best time to take Vitamin D is:

  • In the morning or with lunch, preferably with a meal containing healthy fats (Vitamin D is fat-soluble).

  • Avoid taking it at night, as it may interfere with melatonin and sleep in some people.

If you’re taking Vitamin D3 supplements, consistency is key. Take it at the same time each day and follow your orthopedic doctor’s dosage recommendations.

Who Needs Vitamin D Supplements?

If you:

  • Spend little time outdoors

  • Have darker skin (which synthesizes less Vitamin D)

  • Are over age 50

  • Suffer from joint pain or bone weakness

…you may be at risk for Vitamin D deficiency. Visit a qualified orthopedic clinic near you for testing and personalized treatment.
