Supplement given during first year of life critical for muscle-mass development

A new study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators demonstrates that vitamin D can protect some people with colorectal cancer by perking up the immune system’s vigilance against tumor cells.

New research from the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen University Hospital shows that low blood vitamin D levels increase mortality. The study included 96,000 Danes and was recently published in the distinguished British Medical Journal.

A new study by a Florida State University researcher reveals that a new dietary supplement is superior to calcium and vitamin D when it comes to bone health.

Salk scientists find that a vitamin D-derivative makes tumors vulnerable to chemotherapy.

Benefits on bone health are definite, but no strong evidence for hazards on heart attacks.

In this presentation, a review of the clinical importance of distinguishing the epimeric forms of vitamin D metabolites is discussed with emphasis on LC-MS/MS analysis.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) researchers with the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Md., design, develop and improve analytical methods for measuring nutritional components in the food supply.

Scientists are reporting development of a much-needed reference material to assure that measurements of vitamin D levels are accurate.
