Vitamin D and MS
October 22nd, 2009
The role of vitamin D in MS has been studied for some time. In 2006, a study was undertaken by the Harvard School of Public Health. During the course of the study, investigators looked at 257 blood serum samples, which were among the more than 7 million samples—all from U.S. military personnel—that are stored in the Department of Defense Serum Repository.
By comparing the blood samples with corresponding Army and Navy medical and disability records, investigators found that among Caucasian people—but not African-Americans—there was a much lower risk of MS in those with high levels of vitamin D, and a much higher risk of MS in those with low levels of vitamin D. This study has been quite significant in propelling the assertion that people with high levels of vitamin D are at lower risk for developing the disease.
