“Activation of this receptor triggers a calcium-dependent signal pathway which ensures an increased proliferation and a quicker migration of skin cells – processes which typically facilitate wound healing.”

“The primary outcome was the annual recurrence rate of BPPV. At the end of the study, participants who took the supplemental vitamin D and calcium were 24 percent less likely to develop BPPV than those who did not.”

“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).”

“Blood levels of calcium and osteocalcin increased the most in the combined group, while bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (a marker of bone breakdown) decreased. Improvements in bone mineral density were linked to higher calcium and osteocalcin levels and lower body mass index.”

“They also align with other findings showing that vitamin D helps treat gingivitis (gum disease), a major cause of tooth loss. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and hormone that participates in many physiological processes, including calcium balance, blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth.”

“The National Growth and Health Study has also found that diets high in added sugars result in the displacement of micronutrients including low intakes of vitamins A, D, and E, calcium, and potassium.”

“Vitamin K is needed to produce proteins necessary for blood clotting and controls the concentration of calcium in the bones and other tissues. Vitamin K1, called phylloquinone, is found in photosynthetic plants, such as green leafy vegetables.”

“> They studied the effect of a number of different factors including, age, body mass index, race, socioeconomic status, skin types, period of gestation, sun exposure, calcium and vitamin D intake, smoking status, time of year of birth and pregnancy complications.”

“The reason the Endocrine Society defines vitamin D deficiency as below 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L), by the way, is because this is the cut-off point where parathyroid hormone levels, which are involved in calcium homeostasis, start to rise outside of healthy ranges.”
