“Observational data demonstrate that people who take vitamin D regularly are 34 percent less likely to develop COVID-19. Findings from a recent study show that high-dose vitamin D booster therapy reduces the risk of death among COVID-19 patients.”

“Vitamin C supports collagen production and stress defenses, yet few studies directly measure how diet influences vitamin C inside living skin. A new study tackled this gap by tracking how increasing vitamin C intake from whole foods changes vitamin C levels inside different layers of human skin.”

“Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients that play critical roles in immune function, especially vitamins C and D and zinc, a mineral. Many older adults living in developed countries are at risk for micronutrient deficiency.”

“Researchers gave people with long COVID either a combination of liposomal vitamin C and arginine or a placebo for four weeks. They measured their walking speed, strength, and endothelial function before and after the intervention.”

“Findings in a recent report indicate that vitamin D may reduce the number of cancer deaths, saving thousands of dollars. The authors of the study drew on data regarding age- and sex-specific cancer deaths in the German Center for Cancer Registry.”

“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays key roles in several physiological processes, including immune function. Robust evidence demonstrates links between poor vitamin D status and severe outcomes following infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.”

“Dopamine is a neurotransmitter best known for its role in motor, motivation, and pleasure control. A new study highlights vitamin D's influence on dopamine signaling and emphasizes its essential role in the normal development of dopamine-producing cells.”

“Researchers fed mice diets containing low, moderate, or high doses of vitamin D for four weeks to induce deficient, normal, and high vitamin D concentrations, respectively. Then, they measured changes in the animals' blood concentrations of leptin and myostatin and assessed their strength.”

“Re-analysis of landmark vitamin C trial data reveals current recommendations for intake may be too low for optimal health. During World War II, researchers in England conducted an experiment to determine the level at which vitamin C depletion causes scurvy, a potentially life-threatening collagen-related disorder.”

“Many medications accelerate vitamin D inactivation, including commonly prescribed blood pressure medications such as nifedipine and spironolactone. Learn more about vitamin D in our comprehensive overview article.”
