Vitamin D Helps Promote Cellular Longevity

A new study has found that vitamin D-3 may slow aging by increasing the length of telomeres, the section of a chromosome that shortens as we age and when the body is subjected to increased inflammation.

Vitamin D is an antioxidant that is known to benefit skin, bone, and muscle. It also reduces inflammation. Vitamin D’s benefits are thought to be due to its ability to help establish healthy C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.

The researchers found that those in the highest 20% of vitamin D blood levels had an average of 108 more base pairs than those in the lowest 20%of vitamin D blood levels. This LTL difference equated to five years of chronological age. Vitamin D supplement users also had longer LTLs than did non-users.
