High-Dose Vitamin D3 May Modulate Immune System In Patients With MS.

reports that in a study published online Dec. 30 in Neurology, researchers “tested the impact of two levels of vitamin D supplementation among 80 patients” with multiple sclerosis. Half the patients “were given 10,400 international units of Vitamin D, and the other 40 took 800 IUs of the supplement per day.” Researchers found that patients “in the high-dose group had significantly reduced levels of activity among a certain type of immune cell thought to be involved in multiple sclerosis, compared with those in the low-dose group.” http://www.newsweek.com/high-levels-vitamin-d-may-help-treat-multiple-sclerosis-410352
