Are there benefits to using vitamin D when one has AS? |
|
HI Robert, I don't recall any studies in which vitamin D intake was specifically studied in anklyosing spondylitis, but there are always benefits to taking Vitamin D. It is a critical molecule that helps build bones, but it has also been discovered to participate in many other critical activities in the body. We rarely get enough vitamin D from the sun because we spend too much time indoors. So, taking a dose by mouth every day is a good idea. It is important, though, to stay within the recommended dosages on the bottle. |
