There is increasing controversy over the role of Vitamin D supplementation, lead by recently published research. Concerns relate to what really is the optimal level of Vitamin D in the body, and to the claimed outcomes from having such a level.

Other outcomes, such as claimed improved immunity, maybe spurious.
