          Daylight Boosts Immune Defense

          Researchers have discovered that daylight enhances the infection-fighting power of neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cells in the body. Using transparent zebrafish, scientists observed that these immune cells contain internal circadian clocks that are activated by light, boosting their bacterial-killing ability during the day.

          Vitamin D May Slow Biological Aging

          New results from the VITAL randomized trial show that daily vitamin D3 supplementation helps preserve telomere length in older adults, potentially slowing a key biological aging process. Telomeres are protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age and are associated with chronic diseases.

          Low Newborn Vitamin D Linked to Autism and Schizophrenia

          A large population study has found that babies born with low vitamin D levels are more likely to develop mental disorders like ADHD, schizophrenia, and autism later in life. Researchers analyzed data from over 71,000 individuals, linking neonatal vitamin D deficiency to increased risks of several neurodevelopmental conditions.

          Vitamin D Deficiency in Childhood Linked to Higher Autoimmune Risk

          A recent study found that vitamin D deficiency during childhood accelerates the aging of the thymus, a crucial organ in training immune cells. As the thymus ages, it becomes less effective at filtering out cells that could mistakenly attack the body's own tissues, increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.

          Vitamin D’s Crucial Role in Dopamine Function and Schizophrenia

          Neuroscientists discovered how vitamin D deficiency impacts the development of neurons, contributing to disorders such as schizophrenia. Using innovative technology, they were able to observe that a lack of vitamin D not only changes neuron growth but also affects the brain's dopamine release mechanism. They found dopamine release was enhanced in cells grown in the presence of vitamin D, compared to a control.

          Higher Vitamin D Dose in Childhood Linked to Lower Mental Health Risk

          A recent study suggests higher doses of Vitamin D3 supplementation during early childhood may reduce the risk of internalizing psychiatric symptoms in later years. The study, a part of the VIDI trial, observed the impact of the standard 10 µg and a tripled 30 µg dose of Vitamin D on children from the age of two weeks to two years.

          Could Low Vitamin D Influence Long-COVID Risk?

          New research suggests a link between low vitamin D levels and an increased risk of long COVID. The condition, which extends COVID-19 symptoms beyond 12 weeks, affects a significant percentage of previously hospitalized patients. In this controlled study, researchers found lower vitamin D levels in patients with long COVID, particularly those experiencing 'brain fog' symptoms.

          Taking Vitamin D Could Help Prevent Dementia

          Taking a vitamin D supplement daily may help stave off dementia in older adults, a new study reports. Researchers found taking vitamin D was associated with adults living dementia free for longer, and there were 40% fewer cases of dementia reported in those who frequently took vitamin D supplements. The effects were significantly greater in women than men.
