New study reveals Vitamin D prevents Cognitive Decline

As part of our PlantNutra® range LEHVOSS Nutrition offer Vitamin D, which is a natural, organic-certified Vitamin D2 sourced from mushrooms.

Recent studies (2023), conducted at the University of Calgary’s Hotchkiss Brain Institute (in Canada) and the University of Exeter (in the UK), have explored the relationship between Vitamin D supplementation and Dementia. 

In the study published the team found that taking vitamin D was associated with living Dementia-free for longer, and they also found 40% fewer Dementia diagnoses in the group who took supplements¹. To learn more about this study, click here.

Previous research has found that low levels of Vitamin D are linked to higher Dementia risk. Vitamin D is involved in the clearance of amyloid in the brain, the accumulation of which is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have also found that Vitamin D may provide help to protect the brain against build-up of tau, another protein involved in the development of Dementia.

Our PlantNutra® Vitamin D is a natural vitamin D2 from mushrooms, and is a whole-food ingredient that provides a pure plant-based source of vitamin D with all of the nutritional benefits found in mushrooms. According to various published clinical studies, D2 has shown to be as effective as D3 in maintaining circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (also known as calcifediol) the pre-hormone that is produced in the liver by hydroxylation of vitamin D). Furthermore, our Vitamin D2 is approved by EFSA for use in food supplements.

In addition to D2, the following ingredients are also part of our PlantNutra® range: Amla, Ginger, Holy Basil, Natural Beta-Carotene, Natural Calcium, Natural Green Superfood blend, Natural Potassium, Natural Vitamin E and Ashwagandha.
