Vitamin D is a secosteroid, which can be obtained from the diet as either ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) from plant sources or cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) from animal sources. Vitamin D can also be synthesised endogenously within the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol is exposed to ultraviolet B (U...
Secondary outcomes were prespecified in the statistical analysis plan (Supplement 2) and included death or persistent organ dysfunction17 (receipt of invasive ventilation, a vasopressor infusion, or new kidney replacement therapy) at trial day 28, which was the primary outcome in the LOVIT trial7 ...
Crude and multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were employed to examine potential associations between baseline dietary intake of dairy, calcium and vitamin D with incident PD risk. No relationship was observed between dairy consumption (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.82–1.39), individual dairy ...

Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that vitamin C replacement may not be sufficient to correct plasma vitamin C levels and resolve oxidative stress, adipose tissue inflammation, or features of metabolic syndrome in human obesity. Combining micronutrient supplementation and healthy whole-food ...
Interestingly, the minor 7-carbon carboxylic acid metabolite was more effective in MG63 osteoblasts than the 5-carbon carboxylic acid metabolite, and a replacement of the carboxy function by a methyl group made the two metabolites less effective [81]. This is in line with findings for the LCMs...
EFSA determined the Average Requirement (AR) for healthy adults based on the vitamin C intake that balanced losses as metabolic and urinary losses and the quantity of vitamin C required for the replacement of these losses to metabolic losses and maintained fasting plasma ascorbate concentrations at ...
