A role for vitamin D in inflammation is supported by studies in laboratory animals. In particular, mice lacking the vitamin D receptor or the vitamin D activating enzyme, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-hydroxylase, have increased susceptibility to inflammation, especially inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (61-63).
A report in Science Daily outlining research done at National Jewish Health explains the chain of events in which vitamin D is effective in reducing proteins that cause inflammation. These results make vitamin D a good choice for supplementation when the goal is to alleviate sore muscles after a workout.
