Vitamin D & Eczema

Have ezcema and upset there is really nothing you can do for it? This recent study might peak your interest. A study published in the Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology studied 14 people with moderate to severe atopic eczema and 14 people with normal skin. All of the participants were given vitamin D supplements (4000 IUs) for 21 days. Researchers found that cathelicidin levels increased significantly in the skin. Cathelicidin is a peptide that protects against skin infection helping to product normal skin. More research is to come on this topic... but vitamin D may be the answer to your skin health!
