We explored the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation for reducing the risk of influenza infections. Through a comprehensive analysis of multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), we aimed to clarify whether taking vitamin D can help prevent the flu.
Our investigation identified 10 relevant trials that included a total of 4,859 participants. These studies varied in their dosages and duration of vitamin D use, allowing us to assess overall effectiveness across different populations.
The findings were encouraging: our analysis demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation appears to significantly reduce the risk of getting influenza, suggesting that those who increase their vitamin D intake might be better protected during flu season.
Importantly, we did not find significant differences between the studies that could affect our result, and there was no hint of publication bias. Consequently, we can confidently suggest that including vitamin D in our health strategies could enhance our defenses against the flu.

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.

If you have a baby with colic or food allergies, look no further. My daughter experienced both issues. This product, alongside Alimentum formula, saved my sanity. At four weeks, she fussed for up to 16 hours daily. After trying reflux meds with little improvement, we discovered her food allergies. This product reduced her fussiness significantly after just three days. Eventually, she passed gas easily and fussed for three hours or less nightly. If your baby is like mine, please buy this!

We assessed the impact of vitamin D on leg cramps experienced during pregnancy, referring to data from various studies. One of the key findings was that vitamin D treatment showed little to no difference when it came to reducing the frequency of leg cramps.
In a trial involving 84 women, participants who received vitamin D did not see significant changes in the frequency of leg cramps after three weeks or six weeks post-treatment. This suggests that, while vitamin D is often discussed in the context of health benefits, its effectiveness for leg cramps specifically might be quite limited.
Overall, the evidence we reviewed highlights the need for caution. The findings suggest that vitamin D may not be a viable treatment option for managing leg cramps during pregnancy, indicating a need for more robust research in this area.

Remarkable remedy for colic! We gave this to our child from 1.5 months and after a month of use, we’ve completely eliminated colic! He now sleeps through the night, waking only for feeds. Previously, he cried with tight legs to his tummy every night. This supplement has been a lifesaver; we wake up with smiles now. Though it's pricey, it’s undoubtedly worth it. Four months later, it remains the best option for us; nothing else worked like this. We even tried a cheaper analogue, but this remains superior.

We explored the relationship between vitamin D levels and acute invasive enteritis in young children, a condition often marked by severe diarrhea. Our study involved 82 children, aged 1 to 3 years, diagnosed with enteritis, and a control group of 80 healthy peers.
We found that children suffering from this condition had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to the healthy group. Specifically, the average serum level of 25-OHD in the enteritis group was around 27.95 ng/mL, while the controls had an average of 32.76 ng/mL.
The study revealed that many of the children with enteritis also had lower rates of outdoor activity and less frequent vitamin D supplementation. Among those affected, nearly 20% had vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL, highlighting a concerning trend.
Interestingly, our analysis suggested that regular vitamin D intake, more outdoor time, and exclusive breastfeeding could help decrease the risk of invasive enteritis. These findings encourage us to consider vitamin D’s protective role in intestinal health and the importance of ensuring adequate vitamin D levels in children.

Quick remedy for nausea, diarrhoea, tummy ache, or even flu-like symptoms! This strain of bacteria is particularly beneficial for children experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or flu-like symptoms. With just a couple of doses, noticeable improvement occurs! It works best when taken on an empty stomach a few minutes before food or drink. The taste is acceptable, even for babies. I can assure you of its quality, as its effects are quite quick. Within 2-3 days of use (as often as needed), my child improved. I once used it on my elderly mother, who had severe gastroenteritis; after one dose, she ceased vomiting. Continuing to take it every few hours helps balance gut bacteria.

We investigated how vitamin D3 supplementation impacts cholesterol levels in pediatric patients with obesity. During our study, we divided 723 children into two groups: one received vitamin D3 supplements, while the other received a placebo. This allowed us to comprehensively assess the relationship between vitamin D and metabolic health, especially focusing on high cholesterol.
What we found was promising. After introducing vitamin D3 to the participants, we observed a significant drop in various lipid levels among those who received the supplements compared to those who were on the placebo. Specifically, there were notable reductions in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), alongside improvements in high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
Our results highlight that vitamin D3 not only boosted vitamin D levels but also positively influenced cholesterol metabolism. This suggests that supplementing with vitamin D could be a helpful strategy for managing high cholesterol, particularly in children struggling with obesity. Overall, our findings underscore the potential of vitamin D in improving metabolic health in younger populations.

We set out to explore the connection between serum vitamin D levels and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. Our thorough investigation involved a systematic review and meta-analysis of various studies, including 12 case-control studies and a cross-sectional study. This comprehensive analysis incorporated data from a total of 839 children suffering from UTIs and 929 healthy controls.
Through our analysis, we observed that children diagnosed with UTIs had notably lower levels of serum vitamin D when compared to healthier counterparts. The findings indicated that low vitamin D levels were indeed associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing a UTI, with a significant increase in this risk for children whose vitamin D levels fell below 20 ng/mL. Specifically, children with vitamin D levels under this threshold had a much higher risk of developing UTIs.
Overall, our review strengthens the case for considering vitamin D levels as a potential risk factor in urinary tract infections among children, especially when those levels drop below the critical point.

We explored the effects of vitamin D (VD) on gut health during infections caused by a common foodborne bacterium. By using intestinal cells and mouse models, we looked at how this vitamin interacts with the body’s defenses and could potentially restore the gut’s protective barrier during these infections.
Our findings reveal that infections can disrupt gut barrier function and activate the immune system. In patients suffering from campylobacteriosis, we noted that the vitamin D receptor's (VDR) activity was reduced, indicating a weakening of immune responses.
When we supplemented with VD in lab settings, we noticed impressive barrier-preserving effects. In fact, VD reversed the impairment caused by the infection, supporting better functioning of tight junctions within the gut lining. This ultimately led to decreased bacteria moving across the gut barrier.
Overall, our research suggests that vitamin D could be a promising treatment in addressing gut turmoil caused by foodborne infections. It appears that VD supplementation could restore gut barrier functionality, providing a new avenue for both human and animal health.

We aimed to explore the connection between Vitamin D levels and excessive daytime sleepiness in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In this study, we analyzed serum Vitamin D levels in a group of newly diagnosed OSA patients, dividing them into two categories: those who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and those who did not.
Our findings indicated that patients with EDS had significantly lower levels of Vitamin D compared to their non-somnolent counterparts. The study showed that lower Vitamin D levels correlated with higher apnea-hypopnea indices (AHI) and lower oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep. This suggests that sleep-related hypoxia may impact Vitamin D status and contribute to sleepiness.
Moreover, our analysis indicated that lower Vitamin D levels were independent predictors of EDS. This further emphasizes the potential role of Vitamin D in managing sleep quality for these patients. In summary, our study highlights an important association between Vitamin D levels and daytime sleepiness in people with sleep apnea, suggesting that improving Vitamin D status could be beneficial for managing EDS in these individuals.

Vitamin D3 aids autoimmune thyroiditis
We observed that vitamin D3 supplementation may play a significant role in managing autoimmune thyroiditis, a condition often marked by thyroid inflammation. In this study, researchers induced autoimmune thyroiditis in female mice and administered vitamin D3 to evaluate its effects on the disease.
After eight weeks of treatment, the results showed a notable reduction in thyroid damage and lower levels of thyroid autoantibodies in the mice receiving vitamin D3. Specifically, the vitamin appeared to inhibit the activity of certain inflammatory immune cells, which are typically elevated in autoimmune conditions. At the same time, it seemed to support the activity of regulatory immune cells that help keep inflammation in check.
This study highlights the potential of vitamin D3 as a therapeutic option to mitigate the effects of autoimmune thyroiditis, suggesting that it could help balance the immune response in affected individuals. As researchers continue to delve into the role of vitamin D in autoimmune disorders, findings like these support the notion that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels might be crucial for immune health.

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.

We explored the relationship between vitamin D (VD) supplementation and the risk of ear infections, specifically in children who frequently suffer from acute otitis media (AOM). The study involved 116 children with a history of recurrent ear infections, who were randomly assigned to receive either a daily dose of 1000 IU of vitamin D or a placebo for four months. Their number of AOM episodes was monitored for six months after the treatment period.
Our findings were quite revealing: the children who received vitamin D supplements had a significantly lower incidence of AOM compared to those who were given the placebo. Specifically, only 26 children in the vitamin D group experienced at least one episode of AOM, versus 38 in the placebo group—a notable difference that became even more pronounced when looking specifically at uncomplicated AOM cases.
We concluded that vitamin D deficiency is common among children who frequently experience ear infections. By restoring serum vitamin D levels to above 30 ng/mL through supplementation, we observed a significant reduction in the risk of uncomplicated AOM. This suggests that vitamin D could play a beneficial role in managing ear infections in children prone to these issues.

Vitamin D's role in heart health
We examined how low levels of vitamin D (Vit D) could impact the severity of heart disease, specifically looking at myocardial ischemia. Our study involved two hundred patients who underwent myocardial perfusion imaging at Namazi Hospital in Shiraz, Iran, in 2019. We assessed both the severity of ischemia in patients and their vitamin D levels.
The results revealed a clear pattern: when vitamin D levels dropped below 10 ng/mL, patients showed a significant increase in severe myocardial ischemia. Conversely, in patients with higher levels of vitamin D, we did not find any substantial association with abnormalities in heart imaging. This indicates that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels may play a role in reducing heart disease severity.
Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency, especially levels below 10 ng/mL, could contribute to more severe heart conditions. This could prompt health care providers to consider monitoring and addressing vitamin D levels in patients at risk for heart disease.

We have not taken it for the first time. Initially, it was given to my child from the very first days of life, which greatly aided in the development of the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Now, at one year and nine months old, we decided to continue using it to boost immunity, especially as we started going to the nursery and dealing with a chronic cough and sniffles. We are very pleased with the product, as probiotics, along with vitamin D, enhance my child's resilience to illnesses.

We examined the relationship between vitamin D intake and breast cancer, delving into how this vitamin may play a role in prevention and management. The findings suggest that vitamin D may have a protective effect, potentially lowering the risk of developing breast cancer.
While we found a notable connection, it’s important to recognize that most of the existing evidence comes from observational studies. This means we can identify associations but cannot definitively say that vitamin D causes these effects.
Additionally, there are several complexities in studying vitamin D, such as varying metabolism and differences in study designs, which make drawing firm conclusions challenging.
Although the research provides intriguing insights, more rigorous studies are necessary to truly clarify how vitamin D could be integrated into breast cancer care moving forward.

I was satisfied as it did a great job for my baby and offered an excellent price for the servings provided. It helped establish good gut health and alleviated gas, colic, and reflux. I highly recommend it for infants since they are born with a sterile digestive system. While it can be a bit tricky to administer, breastfeeding mothers might find it easier to give a few drops on the breast.

We aimed to assess how the supplement OsteoCalVitFort, which includes 500 mg of calcium and 400 I.U. of vitamin D3, affects bloating and overall satisfaction among users. In our study, 186 participants aged between 18 and 65 were invited to take two tablets daily—one after breakfast and one after dinner—over a period defined by the contents of a single pack.
After the supplement use, we discovered that symptoms like bloating and constipation showed a remarkable decline. Specifically, the reported cases of bloating decreased from 12.5% to just 0.6%. Similarly, occurrences of constipation dropped significantly, evidencing that the supplement not only supports bone health but also alleviates some common digestive concerns.
With a fantastic 94% satisfaction rate among users, it seems that OsteoCalVitFort stands out as a favorable option for those looking to enhance their calcium and vitamin D intake without experiencing the side effects often associated with similar supplements. Overall, this study gives us encouraging insights into the positive effects of vitamin D in reducing bloating.

We examined how vitamin D supplementation could help improve symptoms for those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This systematic review pulled together findings from four randomized, placebo-controlled trials, with a total of 335 participants, to determine the effectiveness of vitamin D on various IBS measures.
Participants with IBS often struggle with symptoms like pain and discomfort, and vitamin D deficiency has been frequently noted in these individuals. Our research indicated that taking vitamin D could lead to significant improvements in IBS severity compared to a placebo. The results showed that those receiving vitamin D reported notable changes in their IBS severity scores and quality of life scores after the supplementation.
Specifically, after taking vitamin D, participants fared much better in terms of symptom relief than those who received a placebo. While we found some variability in the overall effects on the total score of IBS, the positive outcomes in severity and quality of life were compelling. Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation presents a promising option for managing IBS symptoms.

Amazing! It is wonderful. I give it to my children after their course of antibiotics as it kills both beneficial and harmful bacteria. I also used it for both of my children, who suffer from constipation due to formula milk. The taste is fine, and they accept it. The quality is good, and the package lasts a long time as it is not used daily. It helps improve bowel movement and relaxes the children. Suitable from 2 months old or more.

We aimed to understand how vitamin D deficiency (VDD) might influence symptoms like chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue in people living with coronary artery disease (CAD). In our investigation, we collected data from 90 CAD patients, focusing on their vitamin D levels and experiences with these symptoms.
The findings were quite revealing. A significant 80% of the participants were found to have low vitamin D levels. Interestingly, we discovered that lower vitamin D levels were linked to increased chest pain and heightened anxiety and fatigue. Specifically, there were strong negative relationships noted: as vitamin D levels dropped, chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue scores rose.
This suggests that addressing vitamin D deficiency might be an important step for managing cardiac-related symptoms in patients with CAD. As this connection unfolds, it seems valuable for healthcare providers to monitor vitamin D levels in CAD patients and consider interventions to correct deficiencies.

We conducted a randomized, controlled trial in a pediatric emergency department to evaluate how effective Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 is for treating acute gastroenteritis in young children. Our findings revealed that the probiotic significantly reduced the duration and frequency of diarrhea compared to a placebo.
Specifically, children given L. reuteri experienced less watery diarrhea and shorter episodes than those receiving no treatment. This safe and easy-to-administer supplement could be a valuable addition to standard care, especially in reducing complications from gastroenteritis.

We observed a fascinating case involving a male in his 40s who experienced persistent inflammatory back pain for three months. Despite having a negative test for HLA-B27, a marker often associated with axial spondyloarthritis, clinical assessments suggested possible underlying issues.
The clinical investigation led to an MRI, which confirmed bilateral symmetrical sacroiliitis. Interestingly, further tests showed he had very low vitamin D levels along with elevated parathyroid hormone—indicating a possible deficiency impacting his condition.
After starting treatment with vitamin D alongside nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), he experienced notable relief from his symptoms. His condition improved significantly, and follow-up tests indicated that his vitamin D levels had normalized.
This case demonstrates the potential benefits of vitamin D in managing back pain, especially when classical markers are inconclusive. It highlights how a thorough diagnosis can reveal interconnected health issues and improve treatment outcomes.

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 wish to share my experience, as it may help someone considering saving money by purchasing from a pharmacy. Initially, the pharmacy drops alleviated my child's discomfort slightly, but I doubted its link to his sleep disturbances. After being prescribed Biogue for three months, I ordered it from this site and was astonished. That very night after taking it, my child slept soundly, free from cries! The difference in efficacy between these drops and the pharmacy’s is immense. Now, I am quite sceptical about pharmacy medications.
