There are a few precautions you should remember if you're planning to supplement vitamin D. If you are taking prescription medication for bile acid sequestrants or certain weight loss drugs, consult with your physician before supplementing. In addition, if you have sensitive skin, ask your physician before going outside without sunscreen for any length of time. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your ob/gyn before taking vitamin D supplements.
