We explored the effects of vitamin D supplementation in patients with liver cirrhosis—a progressive disease that often manifests alongside vitamin D deficiency. In a carefully designed study, we involved sixty patients who participated in a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Each patient received either a weekly dose of 50,000 IU of vitamin D or a placebo over 12 weeks.

Throughout the study, we assessed key health markers before and after supplementation, including liver function tests, lipid profiles, and glycaemic indices such as fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance. By the end of the trial, our findings indicated that vitamin D supplementation significantly improved fasting blood glucose levels and insulin resistance in the participants.

Specifically, we observed noteworthy increases in serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels and reductions in fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance indicators. These results suggest that vitamin D might be an important player in improving metabolic health for those suffering from liver cirrhosis.

Vitamin D improves fatty liver health
We explored the impact of vitamin D on metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) by examining both animal and cell models. Our study involved male C57BL/6J mice, which were put on a high-fat diet and then treated with vitamin D for 16 weeks. At the same time, we analyzed liver cells that were exposed to palmitic acid to mimic fatty liver conditions.

Our findings revealed that vitamin D not only helped reduce body weight and improve liver health, but it also played a role in restoring normal metabolic functions. By reducing inflammation and protecting liver cells from damage, vitamin D enhanced insulin sensitivity and affected fat metabolism positively.

Notably, we found that vitamin D helped inhibit a harmful process known as ferroptosis—a type of cell death linked to liver injury. Through various assays, we confirmed that vitamin D treatment boosted the liver's antioxidant capabilities and lessened iron buildup in liver cells. Overall, our research suggests that vitamin D could be a promising therapeutic option for individuals suffering from MAFLD.

Vitamin D receptor targeting reduces fibrosis
We designed and synthesized a series of 37 non-steroidal compounds aimed at activating the vitamin D receptor (VDR) to explore their potential in treating liver fibrosis. This condition involves an unhealthy buildup of fibrous tissue in the liver, often leading to serious complications.

Our research found that more than a third of these novel compounds displayed strong affinity for VDR and showed the ability to activate it. Among these, one compound, E15, stood out as particularly effective. It significantly inhibited the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which play a critical role in the progression of liver fibrosis, thereby reducing the production of harmful extracellular matrix components.

Encouraged by these promising in vitro results, we proceeded to test E15 in a mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride. The results were remarkable; E15 not only decreased fibrosis and collagen deposition, but also improved liver function without the negative side effect of hypercalcemia, which is often associated with traditional VDR agonists.

These findings suggest that E15 could be a powerful and safer alternative for addressing liver fibrosis, highlighting the significant therapeutic potential of targeting the vitamin D receptor in liver diseases.

Potent sublingual form
Lingual vitamin D3 is remarkably effective, dissolving under the tongue for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion. It increased my vitamin D levels, something no other drugs could do due to my autoimmune condition. It’s sweet and convenient for all ages.

Good remedy for my vitamin D deficiency. After having liver disease, my body was weak, and tests showed several deficiencies. A standard pharmacy vitamin D did not help, but when I switched to MicroLingual sublingual vitamin D, I saw improvement. I hope this will help me eliminate my vitamin D deficiency.

We set out to understand how vitamin D might influence liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) related to obesity. For our research, we used a high-fat diet to create a mouse model that mimics the condition. We then supplemented these mice with vitamin D via injections over several weeks to see if it could alleviate the liver issues associated with their diet.

Our findings revealed that a high-fat diet led to vitamin D deficiency, insulin resistance, and a notable increase in liver weight. This also resulted in elevated liver enzymes and triglyceride levels, contributing to steatohepatitis, a concerning liver condition. When we introduced vitamin D supplementation, we observed a significant recovery in liver weight and overall improvement in liver health. The treatment also lowered harmful enzymes and triglycerides while helping control markers related to inflammation and fibrosis.

This study highlights that vitamin D supplementation can positively impact liver health in cases linked to obesity, offering an accessible and potentially effective strategy for addressing NAFLD. Notably, we found no adverse effects from the vitamin D treatment, suggesting it could be a safe option for individuals at risk.

Vitamin D protects bile duct cells
We explored the relationship between vitamin D and bile duct health, particularly focusing on biliary atresia (BA), a condition that leads to bile duct obstruction in children. Our research centered on vitamin D's receptor (VDR) and its role in protecting bile duct epithelial cells from damage caused by viruses, specifically double-stranded RNA viruses.

Through a combination of laboratory and animal studies, we assessed the expression of VDR in bile duct cells from pediatric patients, noting its connection to cholangitis rates after treatment. We discovered that activating VDR with vitamin D3 significantly reduced cell damage and apoptosis, which is the process of programmed cell death that can worsen BA.

We found that vitamin D3 helped mitigate viral-induced inflammation and cell death through specific cellular pathways, including one called the PLA2/PKC/ERK pathway. This suggests that vitamin D could be a valuable therapeutic option in managing liver diseases like BA, potentially offering new avenues for treatment and patient care.

Vitamin D aids liver disease recovery
Our study aimed to investigate how vitamin D supplementation can influence cognitive function and inflammation in patients suffering from decompensated cirrhosis. We recruited patients from two hospitals in Spain and monitored their progress for up to 12 months after starting vitamin D treatment.

Interestingly, we found that the patients who had lower levels of vitamin D at the beginning showed improved cognitive functions, especially in areas like working memory, after supplementation. Moreover, we observed that vitamin D helped reduce markers of inflammation in these patients, suggesting a connection between vitamin D levels and inflammatory responses.

The results indicated not only cognitive improvements but also a clearer understanding of how vitamin D can modulate inflammation in liver disease. This reinforces the idea that maintaining adequate vitamin D levels might be beneficial for those coping with liver conditions, specifically decompensated cirrhosis.
