We set out to evaluate what effect vitamin D3 supplementation might have on patients suffering from mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, 19 adult men who were diagnosed with mild OSAS and had low vitamin D levels participated over an 8-week period. Each week, they took a sizable dose of 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 while undergoing various health assessments. We measured important factors like blood glucose, lipid profiles, and inflammation markers, along with repeated sleep monitoring through polysomnography.
By the end of the study, we observed a significant increase in participants' vitamin D levels, which jumped from an average of 19.5 to 41.8 ng/mL—an indication that the supplementation was effective. Along with this rise in vitamin D, we also noted improvements in fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol levels, as well as a decrease in key inflammation markers. Most encouragingly, the frequency of obstructive apneas and other related sleep disturbances significantly decreased.
Based on these findings, it seems that vitamin D supplementation can play a beneficial role in improving the prognosis for those with mild OSAS. It's exciting to consider how something as simple as a vitamin could lead to better sleep health for individuals struggling with sleep apnea.

Vitamin D linked to sleep apnea severityThe Association of Serum 25(OH) Vitamin D Level with Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients with Syndrome Z (the Interaction of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Metabolic Syndrome).
Moderate association, no treatment effect
We aimed to explore the connection between serum vitamin D levels and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), particularly in patients also dealing with metabolic syndrome, known as Syndrome Z. Our study involved 270 individuals diagnosed with both conditions. We gathered important data on various aspects, including demographics, sleep patterns, and laboratory results.
From our findings, we observed that a significant number of participants had varying degrees of OSAS severity. Notably, there was a clear trend showing that as the severity of OSAS increased, vitamin D levels decreased. After accounting for various factors, we found a strong association between lower serum 25(OH)D3 levels and greater OSAS severity.
This suggests that monitoring vitamin D levels in patients with the dual challenges of metabolic syndrome and sleep apnea could be vital. While our study highlights an association, we noted it does not directly address the effectiveness of vitamin D3 treatment for improving sleep apnea. Therefore, further research is needed to determine whether boosting vitamin D levels can positively impact sleep apnea symptoms.

Vitamin D3 enhances metabolic healthVitamin D Improves Selected Metabolic Parameters but Not Neuropsychological or Quality of Life Indices in OSA: A Pilot Study.
Directly related to vitamin D3
We conducted a pilot study to see how vitamin D3 supplementation impacts individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involved 19 Caucasian adults with OSA, some of whom were already using continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Over a 15-week period, participants took either 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 or a placebo. We assessed various outcomes, including drowsiness, quality of life, fatigue levels, and cognitive function. While we observed a significant increase in vitamin D levels among those who received the supplement, we found that it did not improve symptoms related to sleepiness, quality of life, or cognitive performance.
Interestingly, we did notice a decrease in certain metabolic markers, suggesting that vitamin D3 may play a role in improving metabolic health among OSA patients. Overall, while vitamin D3 showed promise in enhancing metabolic parameters, it didn’t seem to alleviate the primary symptoms of OSA. Our findings pave the way for larger studies to further explore these effects.

This Natural Vitamin D oil solution doesn’t affect sleep and has a pure composition. I could see results quickly and would recommend it as it doesn’t cause allergies.
I believe these vitamins are some of the best for young children. There were no issues like constipation or sleep disturbances, unlike with another brand.
D3 is essential for children, influencing many body systems, including the immune system. We take it year-round and I’ve given it to my child since birth. No allergies or exaggerated activity. It has a good absorption and dosage.
Excellent vitamins for children. They didn’t affect sleep and had no side effects. It's hard to find quality Vitamin D in Russia, though the price is high, consistent with the quality.
These D3 drops have a good dosage, and since we started using them, the baby sleeps better.
