Can I take vitamin D3 if I have a sensitive stomach?
Disease description:
A friend bought me some vitamin D3 supplements, saying I should take them to boost my levels. However, I have a sensitive stomach and I'm hesitant to take anything without checking. I'd like to ask: can people with stomach problems take vitamin D3?

Dr. Wang Lei
People with poor stomach health can take vitamin D3. Some patients with gastritis may benefit from increased intake of certain vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B12, so individuals with stomach issues can consume more vitamins. Common conditions include superficial gastritis, chronic gastritis, and atrophic gastritis; therefore, vitamin intake should be appropriately controlled, as excessive consumption may lead to secondary systemic problems.
