They don't work like natural D does for whatever reason.

Yeah, they don't work at all.

So everyone thought like back in like the 80s, 90s, everyone started noticing, scientists started noticing that people who naturally had lower amounts of vitamin D in their blood had higher rates of all like the classic chronic diseases.

So they started thinking, okay, vitamin D, it's like a magic pill almost.

It'll cure, it'll reduce everyone's risk of all these diseases if we raise their rates of D. So they started recommending vitamin D pills, which I think are still like the number one supplement in the world.

I take it.

So then they did all these clinical trials to prove that it would help.

Huge, huge clinical trials, tens of thousands of people, follow-ups that went for many years.

None of them showed a benefit.

No benefit for any condition.

Yeah, that could be.

Like, yeah, I'd be curious.

Well, one thing, D, you know, the way it naturally comes into the skin and it comes in with a whole bunch of related compounds.

Right.

And so, yeah, I do think there's sort of a synergistic effect when it's combined with the right things.

Yeah.

Like that's how the design is supposed to work.

Yeah.

I'd be curious if there was an effect on disease incidence for that combination.

I don't know.
