This Study Include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) Patients . Patients Were Vitamin D Deficient Age Range 40 to 80 Years, Smokers Patients Were Advised to Take Either Placebo or Vitamin D3 . Antioxidant Enzymes Were Assessed at Baseline and at 26th Weeks. (BSMMU)
80,000 IU weekly for 13 weeks, then 40,000 IU weekly for 13 weeks
VitaminDWiki anticipates that this trial will be successful
- COPD quality of life improved by 400,000 IU Vitamin D loading dose – RCT July 2019
- COPD 2.8 times more likely to be severe if low vitamin D – meta-analysis Oct 2016
- COPD strongly associated with Vitamin D Binding Protein problems – meta-analysis Aug 2015
- COPD severity is associated with Vitamin D deficiency – meta-analyses 2015, 2019
- COPD reduced by 40 percent with monthly 100,000 IU of vitamin D – RCT Jan 2015
COPD fought by Vitamin D - many studies has the following
- Vitamin D is one of the alternate COPD therapies – March 2021
- COPD treated by Vitamin D – meta-analysis March 2022
- COPD quality of life improved by 400,000 IU Vitamin D loading dose – RCT July 2019
- COPD exacerbations 2X less often if low vitamin D then supplemented – meta-analysis Jan 2019
- Worse breathing with COPD is related to lower Vitamin D – June 2018
- COPD ICU stay is 2.4 days longer if low vitamin D – Oct 2015
- COPD and Vitamin D, concise (46 page) review – Dec 2016
- 100000 IU vitamin D monthly helps COPD patients – 3 RCT
- Those with Asthma or COPD had half the response to Vitamin D – March 2020
AND the Overview includes the following sections

50,000 IU helped COPD in many ways - Jan 2015
