Vitamin D is essential for bone health, immune support, and overall wellbeing. Despite living in sunny regions, vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly common in Asia due to indoor lifestyles and sun avoidance.
Supplementation can help individuals who have limited sun exposure or are at risk of deficiency, including office workers and older adults.
As with all supplements, moderation and proper dosing are important.
