“Higher blood levels of 32 nutrients including omega-3, vitamin D, vitamin B, lycopene and more was associated with enhanced performance on specific cognitive tests and functional brain network efficiency in older adults.”

“Boosting vitamin D levels to normal (20-30 ng/mL) increased the animals' muscle strength but did not increase muscle mass. However, raising vitamin D to high concentrations increased both strength and muscle mass.”

“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays key roles in several physiological processes, including immune function. Research indicates that people who take supplemental vitamin D are less likely to have acute respiratory tract infections.”

“Of those, 11 (nearly 85 percent) were vitamin D deficient. All of the ICU patients under the age of 75 were vitamin D deficient. The authors of the study noted that COVID-19-related death and vitamin D deficiency are more common among African Americans.”

“A cytokine storm is an excessive release of pro-inflammatory molecules that occurs during severe COVID-19 and is a common cause of death. A new study suggests that vitamin D could reduce the risk of developing a cytokine storm and decrease COVID-19 mortality.”

“One framework for understanding this comes from Dr. Bruce Ames, who proposed the triage theory. It suggests that when the body runs low on essential vitamins or minerals, it doesn't distribute them evenly.”

“> The mice who received an ovariectomy -- and no vitamin C -- had a much lower bone mineral density (BMD) versus controls, whereas mice who received a ovariectomy and large doses of vitamin C, had roughly the same BMD as the controls, suggesting vitamin C prevented BMD loss in this group.”

“The assessments indicated that approximately 90 percent of the patients had low vitamin D levels, even when the data were adjusted for age and severity of illness. The patients with low vitamin D levels spent an average of six days longer on mechanical ventilation compared to patients with higher levels.”

“For example, while omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and CoQ10 reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease, selenium and vitamins C, D, and E had no effect on the risk for either cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes (which often coincides with cardiovascular disease).”

“Clinicians determine a person's vitamin D status by measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, or 25(OH)D3 — the inactive circulating form of vitamin D. However, a new technique, high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), allows researchers to quantify additional vitamin D metabolites.”
