Osteoporosis, or low bone density, is a common side effect of multiple sclerosis. It occurs when bones become weak and frail. Supplementing with vitamin D has been shown increase bone density by aiding in the absorption of calcium.

It may also help to eat foods that are high in vitamin D, such as egg yolk, fatty fish, and mushrooms.
