"New Report Urges 10x Higher Vitamin D Levels for Optimal Heart Health"

A new report suggests that the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin D in the US might be too low, particularly for individuals with heart problems. Preliminary results from an ongoing clinical trial show that most participants needed significant levels of vitamin D supplements to reach optimal levels, with some requiring 10 times higher doses than the current recommended intake. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health, inflammation regulation, and immune system support. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an increased risk of heart attack or stroke, although the reasons behind this association are not yet clear. The ongoing study aims to determine if treating low vitamin D levels can reduce cardiovascular events.
