Taking Vitamin D Supplements May Not Improve Bone Health

October 7, 2018 • By Linda Carroll

(Reuters Health)—Vitamin D supplementation may not improve bone density or prevent fractures and falls in adults, a large new analysis suggests. After combining data from 81 randomized controlled trials, researchers found no bone benefits from supplementing the vitamin, according to the report in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, online October 4. “Our results show that… [Read More]

Vitamin D, Calcium Supplements May Not Lower Fracture Risk

January 1, 2018 • By Lisa Rapaport

(Reuters Health)—Older adults who take vitamin D and calcium are no less likely to break their hips or other bones than peers who don’t use these supplements, a research review suggests. Researchers examined data from 33 previous trials with a total of more than 51,000 people aged 50 or older who were living in the… [Read More]

Vitamin D-Metabolite Ratio Predicts Fracture Risk Better than 25(OH)D

December 14, 2017 • By Anne Harding

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Vitamin D-metabolite ratio (VMR) may be a better marker of bone health than 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D), a new study suggests. “The parameter that’s currently used to assess vitamin D status, 25(OH)D, is a flawed measure because it doesn’t consistently associate with important bone outcomes like hip fractures,” Dr. Charles Ginsberg of Veterans… [Read More]

July 10, 2017 • By Lara C. Pullen, PhD

A recent study examined the differences in T helper cell subtypes and osteoclast precursors between patients with early RA and healthy controls. Researchers found that standard treatment combined with a single dose of cholecalcipherol may better improve the general health of patients…... [Read More]

Low Levels of Vitamin D3 May Increase OA Pain

December 20, 2016 • By Lara C. Pullen, PhD

In a study of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), researchers found that the cytokine IL-17A may play a role in the pain associated with the disease. Specifically, decreased serum levels of vitamin D3 may contribute to OA pain via the regulation of immune responses…... [Read More]

Vitamin D May Improve Heart Health in Patients with Lupus

April 4, 2016 • By Lara C. Pullen, PhD

A new study has found that treating patients who have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with vitamin D decreases cardiovascular risk in these patients—specifically by modifying the body’s endothelial repair mechanisms. Researchers found myeloid angiogenic cells in this patient population presented with a global impairment, including decreased migration and angiogenic capacity…... [Read More]

Improve RA Care with Vitamin D

November 16, 2015 • By Dewan K. Fahima, DO, & Rafah Salloum, MD

Background Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythema­tous, occur when the body attacks its own tissue because it cannot differentiate between self and non-self. This is mainly through deregulation of the immune system. Vitamin D has been known to play a critical role in bone mineralization and bone health. Activated vitamin… [Read More]

Vitamin D in Rheumatology: Cause and Effect Unclear

September 15, 2015 • By Vanessa Caceres

One week, [a study finds] coffee is … good for you; the next week, there’s a study saying it’s bad for you,” he says. Vitamin… [Read More]
