Menopause 29(11):p 1329-1330, November 2022. | DOI: 10.1097/GME.0000000000002066 Buy Metrics In Brief Recommendations for vitamin D in midlife women include daily intakes of at least 600 IU to 800 IU daily to promote bone health. Although vitamin D supplements do not appear to benefit healthy women with normal vitamin D reserves, daily doses of 1,000 IU to 2,000 IU are safe and ensure adequate vitamin D levels in most women. This Practice Pearl will review updated knowledge and recommendations regarding the role of vitamin D in midlife and older women. © 2022 by The North American Menopause Society
