Vitamin D Lowers Schizophrenia Risk
Vitamin D in boys to avoid schizophrenia in men - today it was reported that researchers from Australia find that doses of vitamin D in early life could help reduce the onset of schizophrenia in men.
In males, the use of at least 2000 IU of vitamin D was associated with a reduced risk of schizophrenia compared to those on lower doses," reported the Australian researchers, adding that for females there was "no significant association" between either the frequency or dose of vitamin D supplements and schizophrenia.
The study concludes with the statement: "Vitamin D supplementation during the first year of life is associated with a reduced risk of schizophrenia in males. Preventing hypovitaminosis D during early life may reduce the incidence of schizophrenia."
