Disease Incidence Prevention by Serum 25(OH)D Level

Papers published in the last few years confirm that many people in non-equatorial regions have very low Vitamin D levels – especially during the winter. People of African descent, now living in more northerly areas, are at highest risk as the darker the skin tone the slower the Vitamin D production. If there is little or no strong sunlight exposure Vit D deficiency will occur. This condition increases as a risk as you age, as older skin is less efficient at converting radiation into Vitamin D.

Researchers have discovered that as you run low on Vitamin D your immune response weakens. Trials have proved that people taking “high dose” Vitamin D3 supplements (>2000 IU/day) are extremely resistant to colds and flu – and it now appears that resistance to some cancers is also proven.

Vitamin D and cancer

Vitamin D, a fat-soluble prohormone is synthesized in response to sunlight. Experimental evidence suggests that vitamin D may reduce the risk of cancer through regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation as well as inhibition of angiogenesis. These anticancer properties have been attributed primarily to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH) 2 D] (calcitriol), the hormonal form of vitamin D.

Vitamin D may prolong life in people with cancer

Taking vitamin D can prolong life in people who develop cancer, according to a recent analysis of clinical trials.
