Vitamin D
20 June 2012
Three papers on vitamin D and MS appear in Neurology. A Norwegian study found that increases in vitamin D level was associated with a reduction in the likelihood of new lesions on MRI, though the effect was not apparent after starting beta interferon. An Australian study found a similar increase in vitamin D reduced the relapse rate by 10%, but only in people on beta interferon. A Dutch study found doubling vitamin D levels reduced risk of relapse by 27%.
