Results of recent research into the effects of Vitamin D and MS were released today here in Australia. Here's a short synopsis.

"We found that higher levels of vitamin D are associated with a reduced likelihood of a relapse in MS."

"The study demonstrates that for each 10nmol/l* increase in serum vitamin D dosage, there was up to a 12 per cent reduction in the likelihood of a relapse."

"Clinically, raising vitamin D levels by 50nmol/l could halve the hazard of a relapse."

"Essentially, the study showed that people are more likely to have a relapse if they had low vitamin D levels."
