The DKFZ study showed that 59 percent of the colon cancer patients examined had a vitamin D deficiency and an unfavorable prognosis. An evaluation of 14 high-quality studies with over 105,000 participants showed: “Vitamin D probably does not protect against developing cancer. But statistically speaking, the probability of dying from it drops by twelve percent.” This reports epidemiologist Ben Schöttker “24vita”.
Dosing between 400 and 4000 international units per day was particularly effective. The reason: the hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which is produced by vitamin D in the body, can probably inhibit tumor growth.
DKFZ scientists recommend that people over the age of 50 in particular have their vitamin D levels in their blood checked. Because: More than half of adults do not have optimal vitamin D levels. The study showed that people over the age of 70 benefited most from taking vitamin D.
