Can Vitamin D Help Your Sunburn in
Fanwood?

New research suggests that high doses of vitamin D taken within an hour of a sunburn could reduce one's symptoms. In this study, researchers assigned participants to one of four groups. Top Fanwood chiropractor Eric Chludzinski provides you the research.

Participants in one group received a placebo pill, while members of each of the other groups received vitamin D in a single dose of either 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000 international units (IU) after receiving a sunburn.

Compared with those who took the placebo, participants in the vitamin D groups experienced a reduction in skin inflammation. Furthermore, the team found that the highest doses of vitamin D not only led to a reduction in skin redness, but also activated skin repair genes.

While the results suggest that taking vitamin D in Fanwood may be an effective treatment for sunburn, researchers caution that the doses used in their study are much higher than the current daily recommendations.

However, they add that the findings are promising and worthy of further study.
