We examined how vitamin D levels relate to acne and the potential connection with acne severity. By analyzing data from various studies, we found that 1,362 individuals with acne were compared against 1,081 healthy controls.
Our findings revealed that those with acne had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to the healthy participants. Additionally, vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent among acne sufferers. Interestingly, we also observed a negative correlation between vitamin D levels and acne severity, suggesting that lower levels of this vitamin might be associated with more severe acne.
This evidence points to the possibility that vitamin D plays a role in acne development. However, while our results are compelling, they encourage further investigation into how vitamin D might influence acne severity and whether its supplementation could be beneficial for those affected by this condition.

We investigated the potential connection between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis (AP) in infants. Our study involved a careful comparison of vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP against those of healthy infants. This meticulous, prospective approach allows us to draw insightful conclusions about how vitamin D might be influencing allergic conditions.
We found that vitamin D levels were noticeably lower in infants suffering from AP compared to their healthy peers. Notably, a significant percentage of AP patients—34.7%—were found to be vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Furthermore, the study revealed that infants with vitamin D levels below 40.75 mcg/L were 3.5 times more likely to develop AP.
Our findings suggest an intriguing association between vitamin D deficiency and allergic proctocolitis, hinting that the rising rates of such allergies may be influenced by environmental factors. It appears crucial that we assess vitamin D levels in infants diagnosed with AP, as this could contribute to better understanding and management of the condition.

We explored how a specific genetic variant associated with vitamin D might influence the occurrence of cold sores, also known as Herpes Simplex Labialis (HSL). Our research involved nearly 1,800 participants from the TwinsUK registry, with a focus on a group of 595 that completed both blood tests and questionnaires regarding their cold sore experiences.
From the participants surveyed, 235 reported having experienced cold sores at least once, and out of these, 160 indicated that they had recurrent episodes. While we investigated several genetic variants, including three commonly discussed in relation to cold sores, we found no significant links between these particular SNPs and the occurrence or recurrence of cold sores.
However, our analysis did reveal a noteworthy association with a genetic variation in the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene. This variant was significantly correlated with both the history of cold sore outbreaks and their frequency. While this suggests a potential relationship between vitamin D-related genetics and cold sore experiences, it does not mean that vitamin D treatment has a proven direct effect on reducing these occurrences.
Overall, our findings provide an intriguing glimpse into the genetic factors that may play a role in cold sore reactivation, especially as it pertains to the VDR gene. Yet, since we didn't explore the direct effects of vitamin D supplementation, more research would be needed to conclusively determine how vitamin D treatment might influence cold sore frequency.

I have been taking Vitamin D for a long time from various manufacturers, but I prefer Nature's Way as it does not cause a dry mouth. I take up to 5,000 daily. The results have been remarkable—my immunity has increased, and I haven't had any colds for over a year. Additionally, my stamina during physical exertion has improved. Vitamin D acts as a cofactor for female hormones and enhances intestinal motility. I highly recommend it.

We explored the connection between vitamin D levels and the frequency of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) in physically active individuals throughout different seasons. In our research, we observed over 1,600 military recruits during their basic training, noting that only 21% were vitamin D sufficient during winter. Alarmingly, those who had sufficient vitamin D levels were found to be 40% less likely to experience URTIs compared to their deficient counterparts, suggesting that maintaining adequate vitamin D may be crucial for better respiratory health during demanding training periods.
Building on these findings, we conducted a follow-up study with 250 recruits, where we implemented various vitamin D supplementation strategies. Participants received either a placebo, simulated sunlight exposure, or oral vitamin D3 supplementation. The results were promising: vitamin D helped alleviate the severity of URTI symptoms and significantly reduced the number of days experiencing a cold. Notably, both sunlight and dietary supplementation were equally effective in boosting vitamin D levels and improving outcomes.
Overall, achieving vitamin D sufficiency can markedly reduce the burden of URTIs, particularly in physically demanding scenarios such as military training.

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.

Effective for osteoporosis

I was initially concerned about the capacity, but this was the old 2000 IU. I experienced sudden osteoporosis 15 years ago. At that time, I found it was recommended to consume 200 IU D3 daily. I hurriedly purchased D3 and began taking it. Three months later, my doctor remarked, “I don't know what you did, but keep it up.” Even then, doctors agreed bones don’t regenerate once they deteriorate. Since then, I’ve been consistent with D3. It’s essential to take it.

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.
