Children With Autism Showed Significant Improvement in Symptoms With Vitamin D — but It Has to Be Delivered This Way

Studies indicate that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have lower levels of vitamin D compared to their peers — the so-called “sunshine vitamin” is crucial for fetal brain development.

Unfortunately, research exploring the effects of traditional vitamin D supplementation on autism symptoms has produced mixed results. Now, a new study out of Egypt suggests that a form of vitamin D3 known as nanoemulsion shows promise in improving symptoms.

“The vitamin D3-loaded nanoemulsion provided an effective and true influence on the adaptive behavior and language abilities of children with ASD, not only on the rise of vitamin D3 levels in the blood,” the researchers wrote in the June edition of the LabMed Discovery journal.

Interesting ... does the vitamin D deficiency cause the autism, or does the autism cause the vitamin D deficiency ... which then exacerbates the autism?

[Flaming Conservative]

Nanoemulsions can be given orally or by needle.

Boy, am I glad I read the article all the way through ... my mind registered some other way.

Nanoemulsion? Give some to Elon.

This is by far the best Vitamin D3 in nanoemulsion format (oil suspended), according to ConsumerLab.com. My wife takes it every morning and it has really helped curtail her MS symptoms:

the main problem with this study is that the term “autism” is essentially meaningless and is no longer used diagnostically because it’s now recognized that these behavioral problems exist on a wide spectrum, ranging from extremely severe to very mild, so where on the spectrum were the study subjects? ... randomly all over the spectrum, are all located similarly?

additionally, presumably the “magic” form of D3 is simply more absorbable than standard forms rather than actually being “magic”, so one arm of the study should have included much larger doses of the standard form, sufficient to result in equivalent absorption to the “magic” form ...

Agreed. I suspect autism is a catchall diagnosis for a variety of specific conditions.

[nickcarraway]

Thanks. How did you know it’s nanoemulsion?

Next-Generation Vitamin D3 Supplement Significantly Improves Core Autism Symptoms

How Vitamin D is Metabolized

Once synthesized in the skin or ingested through food or supplements, vitamin D undergoes metabolic processes primarily in the liver and kidneys. In the liver, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), also known as calcidiol. This form is often measured in blood tests to assess an individual’s vitamin D status.

Subsequently, calcidiol travels to the kidneys where it undergoes further conversion into its active form—1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol plays a pivotal role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism by enhancing intestinal absorption of these minerals and regulating their levels within the blood.

Has your wife tried ginger also?
Ginger can be super effective at eliminating lupus symptoms (another auto-immune disease).

Anal suppositories delivering doses of vitamin D is going to be a hard sell.
