Can I take Omeprazole and Vitamin d together?

Why this happens

Omeprazole reduces stomach acid, which can sometimes affect how certain nutrients are absorbed. However, vitamin D does not require a highly acidic environment for the body to process it effectively. There are no known issues with how the liver or kidneys handle these two substances at the same time.

What you should do

You can continue taking both as prescribed. To help your body absorb vitamin D better, it is best to take your vitamin D supplement with a meal that contains some fat (such as yoghurt, eggs, or avocado), as vitamin D is fat-soluble.
