“These results suggest that how vitamin D is absorbed makes a difference, particularly in children with ASD, who may have trouble processing it due to altered gut metabolism. Nanoemulsions use extremely small droplets and special ingredients that help vitamin D dissolve and pass through the intestinal lining more easily.”

“The authors suggested that as many as 17 percent of dementia cases might be prevented by achieving vitamin D sufficiency (50 nmol/L). Learn more about the beneficial health effects of vitamin D in our overview article. View full publication.”

“The hallmarks of aging are observable biological patterns of dysfunction that occur with aging. Evidence suggests that vitamin D modulates many of the mechanisms driving these patterns. This review summarizes the current evidence demonstrating vitamin D's effects on the hallmarks of aging.”

“A recent study found that combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with daily vitamin D supplements more than doubled the gains in bone mineral density compared to each intervention alone. Researchers enrolled 120 sedentary women aged 30 to 50, all diagnosed with osteoporosis.”

“Vitamin D extended lifespan by reducing the age-dependent formation of insoluble proteins.Proteins misfold and aggregate with age as a consequence of irreversible oxidation, nitration, and carbonylation of proteins, which impairs degradation of damaged proteins, and enhances aggregation.”

“Both in vitro and animal studies have indicated that magnesium deficiency affects enzymes which synthesize and metabolize vitamin D metabolites. Based off of recent NHANES data ~45% of the US population does not meet the daily requirement for magnesium which is 310 mg/day for adult females and 400 mg/day for adult males.”

“Overall, the reduction in risk of respiratory infection induced by vitamin D was similar to the protective effect of the flu vaccine. The study analyzed data from 25 randomized clinical trials conducted in 14 countries including the UK, USA, Japan, India, Afghanistan, Belgium, Italy, Australia and Canada.”

“According to the National Institutes of Health, the current recommended daily allowance for vitamin D is 600 IU for adults and 800 IU for people over 70 years old. The authors urged patients to ask their health care provider to measure their levels before substantially increasing vitamin D intake.”

“I've talked previously about what I've referred to as the sweet spot: 40-60 ng/ml. Some studies have shown that the lowest all-cause mortality happens in that range. The upper range may be important because vitamin D can be toxic at very ranges.”

“These findings suggest that micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in people with type 2 diabetes, particularly among women. Check out our many resources on micronutrients, including vitamin D and magnesium, and the long-term health consequences of deficiencies.”
