Vitamin D helps lower the risk of colorectal cancer by up to 58%, new study finds
By Rhoda Wilson on June 26, 2025
New research involving over 1.3 million people shows that higher blood levels of vitamin D are linked to up to 58% lower risk of colorectal cancer, especially in women. Vitamin D helps slow cancer cell growth, support gut health and reduce inflammation, factors that are all important in preventing tumour formation in the colon.
A whopping 80% of adults are either deficient or insufficient in vitamin D, which significantly increases their risk of developing colorectal cancer over time. Getting regular sun exposure or supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of polyps and tumours, even in people with a genetic risk for colon cancer.
Testing your vitamin D levels and correcting deficiencies through sunlight, supplements, or food is one of the most powerful and low-cost ways to reduce your colon cancer risk.
