Vitamin D is particularly important for people with lupus. Vitamin D deficiency is common in people with lupus, and maintaining adequate levels can help support bone health. However, it's unclear whether low vitamin D levels contribute to developing lupus or are a result of the disease itself. Before making any changes to your vitamin regimen, it's important to:
