AI Article Synopsis
- Recent interest in vitamin D has emerged due to its hormone-like effects on overall health.
- While earlier studies hinted at a connection between low vitamin D levels and an increased risk of chronic diseases, new research shows mixed results.
- Future randomized intervention studies are needed to establish clear guidelines for optimal vitamin D levels, particularly for calcium balance and bone health.
Article Abstract
There is a recent renewed interest in vitamin D, due to its description as a hormone with a positive impact on global health. Even though many former epidemiological studies have suggested a possible link between a low vitamin D status and the risk of developing chronic diseases, recent data have proven to be more discordant or modest. Looking forward to clearly needed randomized intervention studies, optimal vitamin D status and intakes should be defined on the basis of the vitamin D indisputable effects on calcium homeostasis and skeletal mineralization.

Faculty of Medicine, Institute for Prevention and Cancer Epidemiology University of Freiburg Freiburg Germany.
Previously published recommendations for vegetarian (including vegan) diets for children have highlighted the need for vitamin B12 supplementation. Increased attention to several other key nutrients (including iodine, vitamin D, calcium, and iron) has also been recommended. However, an overview focusing on supplementation guidelines, specifically for vegan infants, has not been published, and a potential requirement for iodine and/or selenium supplementation in (some) vegan infants has not been discussed.
