Vitamin D Linked to Improved Cognitive Scores in Older Adults with Sleep Issues

A new study found that older adults with mild cognitive impairment and sleep difficulties who took at least 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily performed more than 13% better on cognitive tests compared to those who took none.

The research highlights a potential connection between vitamin D levels and cognitive function during early stages of decline, though the findings are preliminary and require further investigation.

Scientists emphasize that while the results are promising, they do not prove causation or suggest vitamin D alone can prevent or treat cognitive impairment.

Experts recommend discussing vitamin D supplementation with healthcare providers, as individual needs vary and excessive intake can have risks.
