Vitamin D3's impact on constipation inconclusive
We explored the effects of probiotic supplementation combined with vitamin D3 on constipation and motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease. This study focused on a group of patients who had chronic constipation and used a specific probiotic formula.

Over the course of three months, we evaluated 32 patients to see if the supplementation made a difference in their digestive health and overall symptoms. We carefully monitored factors like bowel habits and employed various assessments to track the subjects' progress.

While our findings indicated some benefits from the probiotic intervention, the specific impact of vitamin D3 alone on constipation remains unclear due to the combination with probiotics in our approach. Therefore, we cannot draw definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of vitamin D3 by itself in alleviating constipation. Our research does suggest that the gut microbiome plays a role in managing symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, emphasizing the importance of ongoing investigations in this field.

Some believe vitamin D does not cause constipation, but it seems to be a side effect in my case. I began feeling constipated a week after starting, which lasted for two months, despite unchanged habits. I was disappointed.

Normalised constipation
I’ve taken vitamin D3 for about three months and can confidently say it’s excellent. Its effects are apparent; it helped my menstrual cycle, improved my mood, and regulated digestion, alleviating constipation and bloating.

The small oil-based capsules are easy to take, even for kids. However, I found that taking it daily led to constipation, so now I take it every third day.

Caused constipation
The pill is small and easy to swallow. However, since I started taking it, I have developed constipation, which I had never experienced before. I'm unsure if this is the cause, but I intend to continue and see if my condition improves.

Constipation improvement
I always thought the information about Vitamin D was just hype. However, after discovering my low levels and taking 10,000 units, my constipation improved. While it's not solely about this vitamin, the benefits are clear. I will continue to monitor my health.

This has helped with my gastrointestinal issues and hair loss. I experienced frequent constipation due to a lack of vitamin D in the autumn-winter months. I recommend it and will take more. Thank you, Ayherb.
