Vitamin D appears to protect women under the age of 75 from developing
age-related macular degeneration, according to a U.S. study of more than
1,300 women.

The condition leads to the loss of a person's central field of vision as
a result of a degenerating macula — a small spot on the eye's retina
where vision is sharpest.

"[It] is the leading cause of adult irreversible vision loss in
developed countries," the researchers write in a background document to
the study, published in the April issue of Archives of Ophthalmology.

Researchers at the University at Buffalo, New York, measured the blood
levels of vitamin D in 1,313 women. After adjusting for age and other
known risk factors, they found that in women younger than 75, higher
blood levels of vitamin D was associated with a significant decreased
risk for the condition.

Women who consumed the most vitamin D saw their odds of developing early
macular degeneration decrease by 59%, compared with women who consumed
the least vitamin D.

The top food sources of vitamin D in the sample were milk, fish,
fortified margarine and fortified cereal. No relationship was observed
using self-reported time spent in direct sunlight.

(My latest blood test showed I was very low in Vitamin D. My doctor prescribed 5,000 IUs twice a day by oral spray. This is not something to just read and take lightly. Find out where your level of Vitamin D is and take whatever corrective action is recommended.)

The long accepted and published Vitamin D recommendations were too low by quite a bit. The latest research has changed the recommendations upward.


"The researchers went on to write that, “The balance of the evidence leads to the conclusion that the public health is best served by a recommendation of higher daily intakes of Vitamin D. Relatively simple and low-cost changes, such as increased food fortification or increasing the amount of Vitamin D in Vitamin supplement products, may very well bring about rapid and important reductions in the morbidity associated with low Vitamin D status.”



One of the challenges is the outdated acceptable upper limit for Vitamin D3 consumption, which was set at 2,000 IU However,researchers point out that more recent studies have shown that 10,000 IU is the safe upper limit.4"

Vitamin D is also important in the absorption of calcium into the body and so it helps prevent osteoporosis. In my recent blood test, my D levels were so low that my doctor prescribed a suplement of 50,000 units of vitamin D per week for 8 weeks. We'll see how it works.
