The Sunshine Vitamin

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because exposure to it is one of the most common forms of procurement. We may also be found in certain foods such as salmon, tuna, sardines, milk and cod liver oil. The consumption of supplements is also a way to integrate it into our bodies. Here we present the main reasons for using vitamin D.

I certainly do not. Reviewing some of the latest published studies on vitamin D one caught my attention appeared in the Journal of Infectious Diseases in October 2009. The study was conducted in Tanzania, a country particularly affected by the HIV epidemic, with 884 infected pregnant women.

And the results were quite significant:

- 61% higher mortality during follow-up in children born to mothers with low vitamin D.

- 50% more cases of HIV measured in the sixth week of birth in children born to mothers with low vitamin D.

- 49% fetal mortality or HIV infection detected at birth in mothers with low vitamin D.

The literature of vitamin D in relation to HIV has become very small. It is hoped that in future further this issue as has happened in recent years with many other problems and diseases in connection with this vitamin. Fortunately, these studies seem to start to arrive, to point to the direction probably assumed. A study published in January 2010 in the Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases reported figures of vitamin D in 115 HIV-positive men aged 19 to 63 years: 36% had insufficient securities, 20% poor and 4% severely deficient. “This study concluded that the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency is high in HIV-infected patients.
