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).
Vitamin D does this so effectively that studies have shown it can reduce inflammation by anywhere up to one third making it just as effective as many medicines available over the counter. As well as stopping inflammation, regular consumption of vitamin D-rich foods can help reduce pain and stress on joints.
