Vitamin D – a scoping review for Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. V...

| description | Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. Vitamin D is unique, as both diet and sun induced production in skin are sources to this vitamin. Individual vitamin D status is thus a sum of both sun exposure and dietary intakes. The discovery of vitamin D receptors and the activation of biological active vitamin D in numerous tissues and organs in the body has given support to hypothesis on vitamin D having extra-skeletal functions. The scientific literature on vitamin D and several health outcomes is high in numbers and has been increasing exponentially the last two decades. However, despite this large body of scientific publications and improvement in study quality, vitamin D supplementation has not shown to give additional health benefits when status is in sufficient range (i.e. circulating 25 hydroxyvitamin D >50 nmol/L). Well-designed studies on insufficient or deficient individuals are lacking.The totality of evidence does not support that increased intake of vitamin D beyond current recommendation will have additional beneficial health effects. |
