Vitamin D performs several functions in the body, is obtained through food, but above all through exposure to sunlight. Until now, its deficiency in the body and the related consequences have often been discussed, but there was no solid scientific evidence.
According to a recent study conducted by 31 experts from 20 different universities, a document was drafted and published in the journal "Nutrients", which also includes scientific assessments.
According to the team, vitamin D deficiency in the body must be treated according to the personal needs of each patient, and there cannot be a one-size-fits-all protocol. This is because it is a hormone with complex functions, and its dosage and use require therapeutic logic.
Based on this study and the assessments made, clinical studies on patients with heart failure will begin immediately.
