Top Medical Research Studies

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.

Vitamin D enhances immune response
We explored the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, a potent form of vitamin D, on the body's response to food poisoning caused by Salmonella. The research focused on how this vitamin influences key immune proteins produced by intestinal epithelial cells, which are crucial for fighting infections.

Our findings revealed that vitamin D treatment led to decreased levels of interleukin-8, a protein that promotes inflammation, in response to Salmonella. However, it notably enhanced the production of human beta-defensin-2, an important antimicrobial peptide that helps protect against infections.

These effects seem to stem from vitamin D's influence on specific cellular pathways, indicating that it could fine-tune our immune system’s response. By bolstering anti-microbial defense while tempering excessive inflammation, vitamin D may enhance our body’s ability to fend off Salmonella infections, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy against foodborne diseases.

Tasty and convenient
Excellent! This vitamin D is of high quality, pleasant in taste and smell. I started giving it to my baby at seven months after previously using coconut oil. We finished the package in two months, and it’s very convenient to administer with a syringe instead of using a spoon with food.

Supports healthy growth
I am a new mum always seeking the best products for my baby's health. I've started using Garden of Life Baby Vitamin D3 Liquid and am thoroughly impressed with the results. This supplement is tailored for infants, with a gentle formula that's easy to administer. The tasteless and odourless liquid integrates seamlessly into my baby's food or milk. Each serving supplies 10 mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D3, crucial for bone development and immune function. I appreciate that it is made from high-quality, organic ingredients, derived from lichen—a safe, vegan source. It's free from gluten, soy, and dairy, so it's suitable for babies with dietary sensitivities. Since using it, I've noticed my baby is more active and alert. I wholeheartedly recommend Garden of Life Baby Vitamin D3 Liquid to new parents wanting to support their child's health effectively.
