“Our work counters an emerging belief held in some quarters suggesting that higher levels of vitamin D can impact positively on brain health,” says lead author Krystal Iacopetta, PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide.
However, there are multiple benefits to Vitamin D, with previous research suggesting it can improve bone strength in the elderly while other studies found that it can help prevent regular headaches.
