- Beyond its critical function in calcium homeostasis, vitamin D has recently been found to play an important role in the modulation of the immune/inflammation system via regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the proliferation of proinflammatory cells, both of which are crucial for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.

Jul 18, 2023 · New research has found that older adults with vitamin D deficiency have higher inflammation, and may thus be more at risk of inflammatory diseases. Supplements could help decrease that risk.
Vitamin D has proposed anti-inflammatory properties, yet the role of vitamin D supplementation in reducing inflammation remains largely unknown. The purpose of this review is to investigate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on inflammation, and to identify relevant knowledge gaps in the field.

Jan 29, 2015 · Vitamin D tends to modestly lower markers of inflammation in highly inflammatory conditions, when baseline 25 (OH)D levels were low and when achieved 25 (OH)D levels were higher.
Jul 22, 2014 · Research points to a bacterial etiology pathogenesis for an inflammatory disease process which results in high 1,25 (OH)2D and low 25 (OH)D. Immunotherapy, directed at eradicating persistent intracellular pathogens, corrects dysregulated vitamin D metabolism and resolves inflammatory symptoms.
