The Endocrine Society's new vitamin D clinical practice guidelines have sparked significant backlash from healthcare professionals who argue the recommendations ignore potential benefits and fail to address the needs of various patient populations.
The Endocrine Society has issued comprehensive guidelines on vitamin D testing and supplementation for non-pregnant adults, recommending against routine testing and supplementation for most, but suggesting supplementation for older adults and those with prediabetes.
Vitamin D supplementation guidelines have limited impact on clinical practice, with the strongest evidence supporting supplementation in older adults to reduce mortality.
