Preventing Autoimmune Diseases: New Findings on Vitamin D, Omega-3 Supplements

In a recent comprehensive analysis, researchers have revisited the outcomes of the VITAL trial, a randomised study initially focused on the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid (n-3 FA) supplementation on incident cancer and cardiovascular disease. This investigation, spearheaded by Karen H.

Vitamin C (or L-ascorbic acid, hereafter referred to as VitC) is a nutrient with a six-carbon structure, synthesised from glucose, abundant in fruits, vegetables and the kidney and liver of most animals. VitC is a potent water-soluble antioxidant that is produced in most mammals but is not endogenously synthesised in humans, who lack enzymes for its synthesis.[1] Hence we need to consume it to avoid deficiency-related diseases. Many animals can synthesise their own vitamin C. The researchers Axel...
