In studies evaluating the effect of vitamin D on polyarthritis, the amounts administered are usually large: often at least 50,000 IU per week, or even much more and more frequently (Cochrane 2015).
Studies suggest that it’s better to take vitamin D regularly rather than just one or two doses a year, as this would limit the risk of side effects (Harrison 2019). This is especially important for older adults at risk of falls. What is the correct posture we should adopt?
I believe my role ends with the presentation of this data. Now it’s up to you to make your own decision based on this information, according to what seems most appropriate to you.
Personally, I believe that if vitamin D significantly improved rheumatoid arthritis, we would already have data to prove it. This has already been demonstrated in thousands of people, and studies tend to overestimate its effectiveness rather than underestimate it.
Should vitamin D be taken in cases of general inflammation?
