Reduced hives outbreak
Most Useful Review
I dealt with hives and skin itching for nearly a year after surgery-related steroids disrupted my immune system. After regularly taking two pills each evening for three months, my itching is nearly gone, and hives appear only when I’m exhausted.

Vitamin D3 improves chronic hives
The effect of vitamin D add-on therapy on the improvement of quality of life and clinical symptoms of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Most Relevant Research
We aimed to discover how vitamin D3 supplementation affects chronic spontaneous urticaria, commonly known as hives. In a well-structured study, 80 participants were randomly assigned to receive either low (4200 IU/week) or high (28,000 IU/week) doses of vitamin D3 over 12 weeks.
Our findings were encouraging. Both groups showed a significant reduction in the severity of their hives, but those taking the higher dose experienced even greater improvements. After just six weeks, the high-dose group reported notably lower severity scores compared to the low-dose group. By weeks six and twelve, quality of life ratings also significantly improved, particularly for those receiving the higher dosage.
We observed that levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, an important marker for vitamin D in the body, rose significantly in both groups, with the high-dose group showing a much greater increase. Although the reduction in medication use was significant for all, we didn’t find any notable differences between the groups in this regard. Interestingly, we did not see any strong links between positive skin test results or specific antibody levels related to thyroid function and a positive response to vitamin D treatment.
Overall, adding vitamin D3 at a higher dosage appears to be a safe and potentially effective approach for managing symptoms associated with chronic hives.

This is the only B complex I can take due to my chemical sensitivities. Other brands can cause hives, but Life Extension's B complex doesn't have that issue. It’s effective and has really helped me!
