EMAIL: info@nutriwest.com www.nutriwest.com The Versatility of Vitamin D Vitamin D is a very versatile nutrient. Vitamin Ds role in more diverse health-related issues has become apparent in recent years, as it relates to conditions like inflammation (suspected to be at the root of many diseases), peripheral neuropathies, autism, heart activity, insulin resistance, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), depression, skin rejuvenation, dementia-related conditions, bone fracture repair, and many others (33),(34),(35). Additionally, a Lancet article points out that the functions of vitamin D have been extensively reviewed and that vitamin D has important effects on brain development and function, cell proliferation, regulation of blood pressure and insulin secretion, the differentiation of immune cells and modulation of immune responses (36). Another article naming the many facets of this nutrient was published in Endocrinology and called Vitamin D receptor: new assignments for an already busy receptor (37). Dont forget that vitamin D strengthens more than bones, too; it is vital to achieve optimal muscle performance. Dr. Michael Holick published Vitamin D: the other steroid hormone for muscle function and strength in the 2009 issue of Menopause, 16(6):1077-8, and touted some of the beneficial effects of vitamin D on the muscular system. Vitamin D and other Specific Health Concerns: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with numerous immune conditions and diseases. Vitamin D supplementation is associated with beneficial effects in a multitude of conditions from influenza (38) to cancer/ chemotherapy (6). Some of the immune conditions correlated to vitamin D intake include, but are not limited to: rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus (SLE), fibromyalgia, dermatological indications (i.e. psoriasis), diabetes type 1 and type 2, infectious disease and many others (39). Dr. Michael Holick also delves into some of the conditions vitamin D is useful for in his article published in the American J ournal of Clinical Nutrition entitled Sunlight and vitamin D for bone health and prevention of autoimmune diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular disease (40). Vitamin D and MS: There has been substantial evidence to indicate that vitamin D is correlated to multiple sclerosis in a big way. Deficiency can be a factor for MS risk and can also be therapeutic. The hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for MS was first proposed over 30 years ago and gained credibility after the discovery of the modulating immune effects of vitamin D (41). Vitamin D supplementation in healthy individuals has been proposed as a promising approach for MS prevention. Disease severity has also been associated with vitamin D levels (42). Vitamin D has been known for quite some time to block the progression of MS in the animal model, as well as limited evidence of a similar effect in humans (43). (Referencesavailableonrequest)
