London, UK (PRWEB UK) 19 December 2013
Vitamin D is essential for healthy development, but it is not actually a vitamin, it is in fact synthesized in the body through sunlight exposure. The main role vitamin D plays is in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the bones and assistance in cell to cell communication throughout the body.
In addition to the importance of vitamin D in maintaining bone health, medical studies show previously unknown cellular interactions with other organs and tissue, including the brain. A vitamin D deficiency has been established for those with Alzheimer's disease, and it's also been linked to the development of certain cancers and heart disease.
Recently researchers have found a new benefit of Vitamin D supplementation in decreasing the neuropathic and sensory pain common in certain chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
This study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 1 is currently continuing at Johns Hopkins University to test the effect of vitamin D supplements on patients with MS, a disease commonly found in Northern regions with less sunshine, giving rise to the theory that a lack of vitamin D could play a role.
