Vitamin D3 ineffective for CFS relief
Effect of intermittent vitamin D3 on vascular function and symptoms in chronic fatigue syndrome--a randomised controlled trial.
Highly relevant focus on CFS
We conducted a study to see if high-dose vitamin D3 could improve vascular health and reduce fatigue in individuals suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This was a well-structured trial involving 50 participants, all of whom met specific diagnostic criteria for CFS. Participants were divided into two groups: one received 100,000 units of vitamin D3 every two months, while the other received a placebo over a period of six months.
Despite a noticeable increase of 22 nmol/L in vitamin D levels for those who received the treatment compared to the placebo group, we found no significant benefits. There was no change in arterial stiffness, a key vascular health indicator, nor improvements in overall fatigue as measured by the Piper Fatigue scale.
In essence, our findings indicate that high-dose oral vitamin D3 does not offer the hoped-for relief in vascular function or fatigue for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. This suggests that other therapeutic options may need to be explored for individuals suffering from this condition.

Vitamin D treatment enhances alertness
Resolution of hypersomnia following identification and treatment of vitamin d deficiency.
Directly linked to chronic fatigue
We explored the impact of vitamin D treatment on a case of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), specifically in the context of chronic fatigue syndrome. A 28-year-old woman was found to have low levels of vitamin D after experiencing four months of overwhelming fatigue and sleepiness, despite being tested for sleep disorders.
After starting vitamin D supplementation, her condition improved remarkably within just two weeks. Along with a boost in alertness, her associated symptoms like muscle pain and headaches began to fade. By the end of the treatment, her score on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, which measures daytime sleepiness, dropped significantly, indicating much better daytime function.
This case suggests that vitamin D may play a role in improving symptoms commonly linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind this improvement, our findings open the door to potentially screening patients with chronic fatigue for vitamin D deficiency to expedite treatment.

Oral supplement aids long COVID symptoms
Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Fatigue Effects of an Oral Food Supplement in Long COVID Patients.
Vitamin D's isolated effects unclear
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effects of an oral food supplement (OFS) on long COVID patients, particularly focusing on chronic inflammation and fatigue. The supplement included components like rosehip, propolis, royal jelly, and zinc, with vitamin C being a key ingredient.
Through our two-month study, which involved giving participants either the OFS or a placebo, we made some interesting observations. Notably, patients who took the OFS experienced a significant reduction in inflammatory markers, which are often linked to chronic fatigue syndrome. This included improvements in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratios.
We also noted a substantial increase in vitamin D levels among those taking the supplement, which correlated with enhanced quality of life and decreased fatigue as measured by the fatigue severity scale. Our findings suggest that the combination of ingredients in the OFS, particularly its vitamin D content, can help alleviate some symptoms associated with long COVID, especially chronic fatigue.
However, since the supplement included multiple active ingredients, isolating the specific impact of vitamin D on chronic fatigue syndrome is challenging. Still, the overall results indicate positive changes for patients dealing with the lingering effects of COVID.

Calcium improvement
A great product! I take raw vitamins and supplements as I have chronic fatigue syndrome and need efficient absorption. The Raw Calcium is a wholefood and plant formula without tummy upset. My calcium levels have risen significantly since using this product, having previously been low. I appreciate Garden of Life products for their range of raw supplements.
