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.

These soft capsules are medium-sized and help absorb calcium with vitamin D3, supporting my immune system and promoting healthy bones and teeth. I found it effective in alleviating bone pain. One jar lasted me 250 days, and I recommend it for those lacking sunlight.

We investigated the potential of vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, in combating cancer while addressing concerns about its toxicity at higher doses. This study focused on enhancing the effectiveness of vitamin D3 through a clever method called liposomal encapsulation, which helps minimize side effects.
We prepared liposomal vitamin D3 (VD-LP) and conducted various tests to understand its capabilities. We found that this encapsulated form not only maintained high efficiency but also demonstrated improved stability. Our analyses showed that VD-LP had strong effects against cancer cells from colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers. Remarkably, it affected gene expression in immune cells, boosting elements that help fight infections and support the body's defenses.
Notably, VD-LP did a great job slowing tumor growth in mice and improved their survival rates without causing adverse effects like hypercalcemia, which is often a concern with regular vitamin D3 use. This evidence indicates that liposomal encapsulation of vitamin D3 could offer an effective cancer treatment strategy while minimizing unwanted side effects.
We believe this may pave the way for further research and clinical applications, showcasing vitamin D3 as a valuable addition to cancer therapy.

Prevents rickets
Most Useful Review
Perfectly! During the covid exacerbation period, my homeopathic doctor recommended daily vitamin D3 to enhance immunity. I ordered this brand upon his advice, and the prevention results are excellent. Besides this, vitamin D3 supports bone growth, prevents rickets and osteoporosis, aids thyroid function, blood clotting, blood pressure regulation, and heart rate, and inhibits cancer cell growth. It's particularly beneficial for mood swings and depression in older adults. The UK Department of Health recommends adults in northern countries take vitamin D3 from October to March.

Vitamin D's effect on BCC treatment
We conducted a clinical trial to understand how vitamin D might impact skin cancer treatment, specifically targeting basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In our study, 35 patients participated in an innovative approach where they received three sessions of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using a special light, after either taking high-dose vitamin D, a placebo, or having no pretreatment at all.
Using advanced 3D photography, we monitored the tumors throughout the treatment. We found that 70% of tumors cleared after PDT, but those that didn't respond often had aggressive histologic subtypes. Interestingly, the effectiveness of vitamin D seemed to relate to the tumor's depth. Among the tumors analyzed, thinner ones showed a 65% chance of responding to vitamin D, while thicker tumors had a much lower response rate of just 28%.
Overall, we discovered that vitamin D may be a beneficial supplement in enhancing the effects of PDT for suitable BCC lesions. These findings suggest a promising potential role for vitamin D in skin cancer therapy, making it an encouraging avenue for future exploration.

Excellent! I took several months before writing this review to assess the results. Following an analysis, my vitamin D levels have improved, which is encouraging. I purchased a large jar at a great price for the family. Vitamin D is vital for muscle tone and boosting immunity; it also supports the thyroid gland, aids in blood clotting, and helps in maintaining nerve sheaths while regulating blood pressure. I’m pleased to recommend it! 😊

Pain relief effective
Most Useful Review
I ordered this for my 5-year-old daughter, diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, needing a daily dose of 2000 mcg. I wasn't optimistic at first, but after starting, her pain greatly reduced. Now she runs and jumps, full of energy. I recommend everyone to try this, especially adults over 40 who might benefit from a dosage of 5000 mcg. We’re thrilled with the results without needing pre- or post-tests.

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.

For several years, vitamin D has been our preferred supplement during the off-season. Adults take courses of 5000 IU, whilst children take 2000 IU. We can hardly remember the last time we suffered from colds, and our family has entirely avoided the well-known illness that is often discussed. All good health! Vitamin D is our favourite!
