A comprehensive study by researchers from Queen Mary University of London and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has debunked the belief that vitamin D supplements benefit bone health in deficient children. Conducted on 8,851 Mongolian schoolchildren, the trial found that vitamin D supplementation did not reduce fracture risk or improve bone strength. These findings may prompt a reassessment of the effects of vitamin D supplements on bone health.
