Studies and researches have shown that vitamin D  prevents multiple sclerosis. Harvard School of Public Health reported a strong association between vitamin D levels within the body and multiple sclerosis risk among whites, but not among blacks and Hispanics. The study has been published although it is too soon to say exactly how vitamin D helps in the prevention of multiple sclerosis and if it really is true. White people in generally and some of the black people have insufficient vitaminD, and  doses of vitaminD   in the organisms are usually lowest in the winter, although in sunlight vitamin D is sintetized in the organism. So expose your body in fresh air and sun or UV rays any time possible.



By declaring  vitamin D may a factor of  direct impact on multiple sclerosis and of prevention thousands of cases could be prevented. It has been observed that the chronic autoimmune disease is more common among women than men. Another study proved that those who have taken multivitamins and vitamin D were at lower risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Army and U.S. Navy provided blood samples and the study has been conducted on a number of few millions people. Each new case of multiple sclerosis was compared with healthy people in regarding of age, race, sex, and dates of blood collection.

The multiple sclerosis and its risk through racial groups

Vitamine D is being made in the skin under the UV rays so separate studies were conducted among the blacks and whites and Hispanics. In people with the highest level of vitamin D circulating had the lower risk for developing multiple sclerosis.

Immune System and Vitamin D

Vitamine D has been observed to have a reaction in regulating the immune system and suppressing autoimmune reactions. Also it has been proved that vitamin D has a protective role against developing rheumatoid arthritisrheumatoid arthritis. The lack of vitamin D increases the risk of developing another maladies and certain cancers, diabetes, unexplained muscle and joint pain, heart disease.

Large and randomized trials are needed before declaring that vitamin D has an important role in preventing other diseases and multiple sclerosis different professors sustain the same idea , but it takes some time and effort to impose it to the rest of the audience. Most multivitamins contain vitamin D in the sufficient daily dosage  of 400 IU. Aged people need higher doses of vitamin D especially in the winter time, black and dark skinned people may need even more. But vitamin D deficiency is a common problem through the world but also in the US. Most people would have only benefits from getting more and more vitamin D.
