Elevated Vitamin D Intake Associated with 13% Improvement in Memory Performance

Buzzline

Recent findings from Emory University indicate that elderly individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment and sleep issues who consumed a minimum of 5,000 IU of vitamin D each day achieved over 13% higher scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment compared to those who did not take any. The investigation, which involved 54 participants and was published in Sleep Medicine, revealed that lower doses did not present any notable advantages, and there was no difference in performance between vitamin D2 and D3 forms. With over 7 million individuals in the U.S. diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia, the researchers highlight the importance of further examining vitamin D as a potentially modifiable factor.
