Pain 'linked With Low Vitamin D'
A recent article from the BBC has stated that low levels of the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D, may contribute to chronic pain.
Around 1 in 10 people are affected by chronic pain at any one time in the UK, but much of the focus to date has been on emotional factors. Vitamin D levels, at least in women, could play a role in some cases of chronic pain.
Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and is produced in the body when exposed to sunlight. Its also found in oily fish, margarine and egg yolks, however a severe lack of vitamin D in adults can lead to the painful bone disease osteomalacia.
"Taking too high a dose of vitamin D supplements as a means of preventing or treating chronic pain could result in vitamin D toxicity and high blood calcium levels." Cautioned Kate MacIver of the pain Research Institute at Liverpool University.
The Food Standards Agency recommends that pregnant women, women that are breast feeding and the elderly should take 10 micrograms of vitamin D each day.
