Vitamin D is commonly known as the “sunshine vitamin.” It is a vital component that the body absorbs when exposed to the sun. The team of researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital's Psychiatry Department found the inadequate levels of vitamin D to have no effect on the adults above 50 years of age. The study shows no significant benefits of vitamin D in lowering or triggering depression. The supplement was not found to improve mood or prevent depression. According to Dr. Olivia I. Okereke, the study on adults showed no difference in their findings. This study has been published in the medical journal JAMA.
Researchers stated that lower vitamin D3 levels had nothing to do with the switch in moods or depression. The use of this supplement to treat depression is found to be untrue. Previous studies have shown the vitamin D levels to be varying depending on the gender, race, and ethnic diversity. Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient that is required in smaller quantities to help the cells function, grow, and develop normally. The major function of the supplement is to absorb calcium and phosphate in order to help the muscles and teeth remain healthy, and also to help the bones remain strong.
Vitamin D is usually produced in the body when the skin is exposed to the Sun. And the idea of producing vitamin D when indirectly exposed to the Sun, like standing in the Sun shining through the window is absolutely irrelevant. Thus, it is the basic reason behind people living in the higher altitudes, cloudy areas, and far from the equator have low levels of vitamin D. This supplement has an impact on the metabolic health as well. In some areas where the skies are most of the time overcast, the people need extra supplements during a specific period to remain healthy.
