Vitamin D and MS: Is there any connection?

                                                                  

Is there any proof that vitamin D supplements can prevent MS or keep symptoms of MS from worsening?

Answers from Jerry W. Swanson, M.D.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford and another conducted at the New Jersey Medical School have suggested that maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D may have a protective effect and lower the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS).

Another study conducted at Maastricht University in the Netherlands and others suggest that for people who already have MS, vitamin D may lessen the frequency and severity of their symptoms. More research is needed to assess these findings.
