what the evidence says
Vitamin D is well studied and the honest summary is conditional: supplementing clearly helps people who are deficient, with good evidence for bone health, muscle function and likely respiratory immunity, while trials that give vitamin D to already-replete people mostly show little benefit. Deficiency is surprisingly common in Singapore's indoor, sun-avoidant population, so testing first then dosing to your level is the evidence-aligned play.
Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
