Vitamin D Scholarly Peer-review Journal

Vitamin D testing and treatment is the subject of controversial scientific discussion, and it is difficult to browse the expanding literature on vitamin D with heterogeneous and partially opposite opinions and recommendations. In this narrative review, we aim to provide an update on the vitamin D guidelines and current evidence on the role of vitamin D for human health and its subsequent implications for patient care and health issues public. Vitamin D is essential for bone and mineral metabolism, and it is established that vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets and osteomalacia. While many guidelines recommend target serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 [OH] D) ≥ 50 nmol / L (20 ng / mL), the minimum consensus in the scientific community is that serum concentrations of 25 ( OH) D less than 25–30 nmol / L (10–12 ng / mL) should be avoided and treated. Using the latter threshold of 25 (OH) D serum concentrations, it has been shown that there is a high global prevalence of vitamin D deficiency which may require public health measures such as vitamin D fortification of foods On the other hand, there is also cause for concern that an explosive rate of vitamin D testing and supplements increases costs and could potentially be harmful. In the scientific debate on vitamin D, we must consider that the tests on nutrients differ from the tests on drugs and that apart from the opposite positions concerning the indications for treatment with vitamin D, we have to characterize even better the precise role. Vitamin D for human health.
