With a meal: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means it does not dissolve in water. Your body absorbs Vitamin D better when it is consumed with healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, eggs, and seeds. Taking your supplement with breakfast or lunch is recommended, or you can even take it with an afternoon snack.

When to take vitamin D. It just plain doesn't matter, as long as you take it with food, says Dr. Manson. Her advice: Take it when you'll remember to take it - morning, noon or night - and take it with a meal, she says.

No, all vitamin D supplements are not the same. The quality of a supplement depends on many factors, including the source of the vitamin D, how it's made, and whether it's been tested for purity and potency.

Spring Valley vitamins are affordable and widely available, but have also attracted enormous controversy in recent years. Hundreds of different Spring Valley supplements remain available in Walmart stores and online, but have been stripped of "third-party verified" labeling that was deemed potentially misleading.

Too much vitamin D can cause harmful high calcium levels. Tell your doctor right away if any of these signs of high vitamin D/calcium levels occur: nausea/vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, mental/mood changes, unusual tiredness.

Current guidelines say adults shouldn't take more than the equivalent of 100 micrograms a day. But vitamin D is a 'fat-soluble' vitamin, so your body can store it for months and you don't need it every day.

Ask a doctor before using cholecalciferol if you have allergies, diabetes, or phenylketonuria (PKU). Too much vitamin D could harm an unborn baby or a nursing baby. Ask a doctor before using cholecalciferol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your dose needs may be different during pregnancy or while you are nursing.

FDA says products are safe and regulated Nathan Arnold, a spokesperson for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said vitamins are regulated and treated as “dietary supplements” and noted that all dietary supplements must comply with rules to ensure safety, quality and accurate labeling.
