“NAD+ can also be synthesized from other precursors including nicotinamide (NAM, also called niacinamide), nicotinic acid (NA), and nicotinamide riboside (NR), which are often collectively referred to as niacin (vitamin B3) or niacin equivalents.”

“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.”

“Each 10nmol/L increase in vitamin D in the blood was associated with a 0.78 mL/kg/min increase in VO2 max. This was an observational study so it is impossible to say whether vitamin D improves exercise capacity but the association was strong and increased in a dose-dependent manner.”

“Also, early phase 1 clinical trials showed that the combination of high-dose, intravenous vitamin C with standard chemotherapy or radiation was well tolerated and improved patient outcome. Larger clinical trials are now underway.”

“The difference in cancer rates between groups did not reach statistical significance. However, blood levels of vitamin D were significantly lower (32 ng/ml) in women who developed cancer compared to women that did not get cancer and had higher vitamin D levels (42 ng/ml).”

“Vitamin C may have a special role in reducing stress-induced cortisol release: > In contrast, others have shown that vitamin C infusion enhances adrenal glucocorticoid production or has no effect on the serum cortisol response to ACTH. Our data suggest that within the context of prolonged and intensive exertion, high vitamin C intake significantly lowers serum cortisol levels.”

“A study of 766 otherwise healthy adolescents showed that those who consumed the least vitamin K1-- found in spinach, cabbage, iceberg lettuce and olive oil -- were at 3.3 times greater risk for an unhealthy enlargement of the major pumping chamber of their heart, according to the study.

“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.”

“From the article: > "When we treated brain tissue from mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease with vitamin C, we could see that the toxic protein aggregates were dissolved. Our results show a previously unknown model for how vitamin C affects the amyloid plaques," says Katrin Mani, reader in Molecular Medicine at Lund University. Publication.”

“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.”
