While our bodies naturally produce Vitamin D when it is directly exposed to sunlight, it is not easily absorbed into our bloodstream from food sources. This ‘sunshine vitamin’ is very important to our wellbeing, and the UK government advises people to consider taking Vitamin D supplements during autumn and winter. The Grass & Co. EASE CBD collection includes the highest quality CBD Oils enhanced with botanicals, and vitamins such as Vitamin D & K, to help support bone and muscle health. In this article, we look at the possible benefits of adding Vitamin D to CBD Oil. The Possible Benefits of Vitamin D Vitamin D is important for the normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases. One of the most vital functions of Vitamin D is the regulation and absorption of calcium and phosphate which are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. It also plays an important role in facilitating normal immune system functioning. Research also suggests that Vitamin D may play an important role in the fight against certain diseases. Studies on the effect of Vitamin D on immune function, indicates that people with low Vitamin D levels might be more at risk of infections and autoimmune diseases. There has also been research into Vitamin D’s role in the regulating of mood, with the results of one such study supporting the idea that Vitamin D supplementation can reduce negative emotions. The study covered 25 trials with a total of 7,534 participants and showed that Vitamin D had an effect on patients with major depressive disorder. Vitamin D and Muscle Pain Vitamin D deficiency is often found in people suffering from chronic muscle pain. Some experts believe that the lack of Vitamin D has much to do with chronic muscle pain and the symptoms that come with it, while acknowledging that not everyone with Vitamin D deficiency suffers chronic muscle pain. Although the causes of muscle pain are often difficult to pinpoint, evidence suggests that Vitamin D deficiency is one of a number of potential causes. There is an indication that Vitamin D could potentially be involved in the body’s pain signaling pathways and that it may play a role in chronic pain. Although a few studies indicate that Vitamin D supplements may reduce various types of pain in people with a Vitamin D deficiency, more research is needed. Vitamin D and Joint Pain Another possible symptom of a Vitamin D deficiency is joint pain. In addition to being vital for normal bone and muscle functioning, Vitamin D also may have anti-inflammatory effects. This has led many people to believe that Vitamin D may assist in relieving joint pain, particularly where inflammation is the cause. Some of the research that has been done points to a link between Vitamin D deficiency and inflammatory conditions that affect the joints such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). In a study on the link between RA and Vitamin D, results showed Vitamin D deficiency to be highly prevalent in patients with RA, and that Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to the severity of the disease. Vitamin D and Back Pain Research has also pointed to a link between back pain and a Vitamin D deficiency. A 2013 study showed a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in people with lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition which has lower back pain as a symptom. Although there does not appear to be sufficient clinical evidence for the use of Vitamin D for the treatment of chronic back pain, Vitamin D has been shown to provide some anti-inflammatory benefits. It may, therefore, assist in easing general soreness from low-grade inflammation.
