A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science showed that vitamin D deficiency leads to an increase in inflammatory markers. This was determined by a team of researchers from various institutions in London, Australia, and Brazil through a clinical study involving more than 5,000 participants.
The study showed that low levels of vitamin D are associated with high levels of CRPs, fibrinogen, and white blood cells, which suggest that this nutrient plays a role in the development of inflammatory conditions and has anti-inflammatory potential.
