Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to see if weekly vitamin D supplementation affects growth, body composition, pubertal development, or lung function in South African schoolchildren aged 6-11 years, through a rigorous 3-year double-blind trial.
- - 1682 children participated, with one group receiving 10,000 IU of vitamin D weekly and a control group receiving a placebo, while growth and health measures were closely monitored.
- - Results showed that while vitamin D levels increased significantly in the supplemented group, there were no meaningful changes in growth, body composition, or lung function compared to the placebo group.
