“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.”

“However, higher cord blood vitamin D concentration – an indicator of higher vitamin D exposure in the womb – negated this effect. These findings suggest that maternal vitamin D levels in women who have preeclampsia during pregnancy influence whether their children develop high blood pressure.”

“How taking an NSAID or even certain antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E at the wrong time can diminish some of the benefits of exercise, such as satellite cell migration and improved insulin sensitivity.”

“All of these enzymes are magnesium dependent, and evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency impairs vitamin D metabolism. Vitamin D influences serotonin synthesis via its actions on tryptophan hydroxylase 2, a rate-limiting enzyme involved in serotonin production.”

“Researchers collected information about the participants' dietary intake (to include vitamin K-rich foods), physical activity, smoking status, and education and then monitored the participants' health for several years.”

“Another randomized controlled trial found that men given 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day slowed cancer progression and improved tumors in men with low-grade prostate cancer (compared to men given placebo).”

“Researchers examined nerve growth, synapse formation, and dopamine release in various dopamine-producing cells exposed to vitamin D over time. They focused on SH-SY5Y cells—which can mature into dopaminergic (dopamine-releasing) neurons—and other brain cells.”

“While this data is very interesting and in line with many other associative studies... to definitively prove that the link that vitamin D and breast cancer survival is causal, randomized clinical trials vitamin D supplementation vs placebo would be necessary.”

“Vitamin D plays critical roles in many physiological processes, such as calcium balance, blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth. Poor vitamin D status is implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic diseases, including rickets, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.”

“The average vitamin D level among women whose children developed ADHD was 29 nmol/L. There are biologically plausible explanations for the association between developmental vitamin D deficiency and an increased risk of offspring ADHD.”
