Vitamin D limits the development of multiple sclerosis?

The findings of scientists from Australia's Menzies Institute suggest that vitamin D may help reduce the progression of multiple sclerosis.

Lead researcher Professor Bruce Taylor said the change in symptoms of multiple sclerosis depends on the time of year and usually occurs in the spring when the rate of vitamin D in the body is low. Best.

Scientists tracked 145 patients in southern Tasmania and found that people with higher levels of vitamin D had a lower risk of recurrence of multiple sclerosis.

On average, every 10 nanomole of vitamin D content in the blood increases, the risk of recurrence may be reduced by 10%.

Experts recommend that people with multiple sclerosis should take a daily dose of vitamin D if not suffering from kidney disease. The clinical trial will be conducted throughout Australia in the coming years.

Multiple sclerosis can affect the central nervous system. So far, there has been little research on whether vitamin D can reduce the symptoms of this disease.
