High Quality Vitamin D, Why You Should Take the Correct FormWe all know that vitamin D helps build strong bones. In recent years, researchers have found that vitamin D seems to enhance immunity, improve balance and cardiovascular function another benefit that seems to be coming to light on vitamin D; that being in regard to pain reduction.
A study was recently presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting in San Francisco and found that one in every four patients who suffers from chronic pain also had inadequate blood levels of vitamin D 1. This study indicated that the median intake of vitamin D for adults in the United States was only 230 IU while researchers are recommending 2,000 IU per day. The study involved 267 adults undergoing treatment for chronic pain at the Mayo Clinic. It was found that of these patients, 26% of them had vitamin D inadequacy and, interestingly, needed almost twice the amount of morphine of the group that had more normal levels of vitamin D. The lead author of the study, Dr. Michael Hooten, anesthesiologist at the Mayo Clinic indicated, "This is the first time that we have established the prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy among a diverse group of chronic pain patients."
In a follow up to this recently reported study, there was an article published in the November 2007 edition of the
Journal ofClinical Rheumatology. The article reported on a study that involved 60 female patients complaining of low back pain lasting more than three months. These patients were studied both from a rheumatologic and neurological standpoint. It was found that these patients had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to controls.
