Vitamin D May promote Brain Health

Low blood levels of Vitamin D may increase the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, according to a new hypothesis based on existing risk factors.

A growing number of studies have linked deficiency of Vitamin D to increased risks of Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Depression, and even Periodontal Disease, all of which have been linked to some degree to increased risks for Dementia.

A recent study reported that as many as 90 percent of 50 to 70 year olds may be Vitamin D deficient or insufficient, with similar findings being reported in Western Populations.

"To date, the evidence includes observational studies supporting a beneficial role of Vitamin D in reducing the risk of diseases linked to Dementia such as vascular and metabolic diseases, as well as an understanding of the role of Vitamin D in reducing the risk of several mechanisms that lead to Dementia." This according to William Grant PhD of "SUNARC" Research.
