Bone & joint
Show all →Bones, muscles and the "sunshine vitamin"
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Many people in India test low despite the sun, because of indoor work, sunscreen and covered skin. D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form most supplements use; vegan D3 from lichen is also sold.
What to compare & all 3 →Muscles, nerves and sleep questions
Sold as oxide, citrate, glycinate (bisglycinate) and more. Forms that dissolve well are absorbed better than oxide.
What to compare & all 4 →Asked about for skin, hair and joints
Hydrolysed collagen from fish (marine) or cattle (bovine). Some small studies looked at skin and joints; results are mixed and brand formulas differ.
