# Vitamin D Overview Vitamin D is a nutrient that your body needs to stay healthy. Your body uses vitamin D to help your bones and teeth stay strong by absorbing calcium from the foods you eat. It also helps your muscles work properly and keeps your immune system strong. Some people don't get enough vitamin D from sunlight and food, so they take vitamin D supplements. Doctors may recommend vitamin D for people who don't get enough sunlight, have trouble absorbing nutrients, or have weak bones. Before taking vitamin D, it's important to know some safety facts. You should tell your doctor if you have any health problems, especially kidney disease or heart problems, because vitamin D can affect how your body uses calcium. Taking too much vitamin D can cause your body to have too much calcium, which can make you feel sick with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or weakness. Always follow the dose your doctor or the label tells you to take, and don't take more than recommended. If you think you've taken too much or feel sick after taking vitamin D, call your doctor right away.
