We investigated the potential connection between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis (AP) in infants. Our study involved a careful comparison of vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP against those of healthy infants. This meticulous, prospective approach allows us to draw insightful conclusions about how vitamin D might be influencing allergic conditions.
We found that vitamin D levels were noticeably lower in infants suffering from AP compared to their healthy peers. Notably, a significant percentage of AP patients—34.7%—were found to be vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Furthermore, the study revealed that infants with vitamin D levels below 40.75 mcg/L were 3.5 times more likely to develop AP.
Our findings suggest an intriguing association between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis, hinting that the rising rates of such allergies may be influenced by environmental factors. It appears crucial that we assess vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP, as this could contribute to better understanding and management of the condition.

Excellent for managing allergies. My daughter has numerous food and environmental allergies. After trying many vitamin D sources, we discovered this one derived from sheep's wool, which has transformed her life. Her skin is clearing up, and she's safely increasing her vitamin D levels. This is a fantastic brand that we also trust for other vitamins. They offer non-vegan vitamin D for my other children, along with K2, C, and magnesium. A great company!

We explored the connection between vitamin D levels and upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) among military recruits during their training. This observation spanned across different seasons and included over 1,600 recruits. Our aim was to understand how achieving sufficient vitamin D levels could potentially impact the frequency and severity of colds among physically active individuals.
In an additional phase of the research, we conducted a randomized controlled trial with 250 male recruits. They received either a placebo, simulated sunlight exposure, or oral vitamin D3 supplements during winter. This comparison allowed us to see if these methods effectively increased vitamin D levels to a sufficient status of 25(OH)D at 50 nmol/L or higher.
Notably, our findings showed that only 21% of recruits had adequate vitamin D during winter, yet those who did were 40% less likely to suffer from URTIs. Furthermore, both vitamin D supplementation strategies similarly helped nearly all participants achieve sufficient levels. Vitamin D supplementation notably reduced the severity of URTI symptoms by 15% and the number of days with URTIs by 36% compared to placebo.
While the supplementation strategies did not significantly alter other immune factors, such as salivary secretory immunoglobulin A, the overall reduction in respiratory infections indicates a beneficial effect of maintaining vitamin D sufficiency during military training.

I have been taking Vitamin D supplements for the past few months, and I cannot express how much of a difference it has made to my overall well-being. Living in a region with long winters and limited sunlight, I often felt fatigued. After consulting with my doctor, I decided to give Vitamin D a try. Within weeks, I noticed a significant boost in my energy levels and mood. My immune system seems stronger; I’ve avoided colds that typically would have knocked me out during the season! I appreciate the quality of this brand—it's non-GMO, soy-free, and carefully formulated.

We explored how Vitamin D3 impacts autoimmune thyroiditis, a specific autoimmune disorder. In this study, researchers established a mouse model of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) to see how Vitamin D3 could influence this condition. After eight weeks of treatment, they assessed thyroid health and immune response through various methods, including staining tissues and measuring hormone levels.
Our observations revealed that administering Vitamin D3 helped reduce damage to the thyroid and decreased the presence of inflammatory cells within the thyroid. This treatment also led to lower levels of thyroid hormones and autoimmune antibodies in the blood, highlighting its positive effect on thyroid function. Additionally, Vitamin D3 appeared to promote the regulatory T cell (Treg) subset while decreasing the levels of Th17 cells, which are often involved in autoimmune processes.
Mechanistically, the study found that Vitamin D3 triggered specific pathways that influence Treg cell activity and survival. Notably, it activated a signaling pathway involving YAP and JAK/STAT, which are crucial for immune cell regulation. These findings suggest that Vitamin D3 could play a significant role in balancing immune responses in autoimmune thyroiditis, making it a promising candidate for further research and potential treatment strategies.

It worked for me! My blood 25-OH-D level increased from 5.3 ng/ml to 48 ng/ml after taking Vitashine D3 for 3-4 months, starting from 5000 ME to 10000 ME daily. My husband’s levels also rose from 5.6 ng/ml to 53 ng/ml. We will continue with this vitamin D, but I also recommend paying attention to vitamin K for better absorption.

We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

I have taken Doctor's Best Vegan Vitamin D3 for several months and have experienced significant benefits. This supplement is vital for bone health and the immune system. I’ve noticed improvements in my mood and energy levels, particularly during winter when sunlight is scarce. The capsules are easy to swallow, without side effects.
