BOSTON – Could vitamin D supplements help reduce inflammation that is associated with common medical problems?
Chronic inflammation in the body has been linked to a variety of medical conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
A new study out of Ireland has found that older adults with vitamin D deficiency had higher levels of a marker of inflammation in the blood compared to those with normal vitamin D levels.
The research suggests that vitamin D supplements in people with vitamin D deficiency could help reduce the risk of chronic disease.
