February 22, 2005 — New research presented at the 2005 Multidisciplinary Prostate Symposium in the U.S. shows a link between vitamin D and prostate health. Researchers suggest men with higher levels of vitamin D may have better prostate protection. Studies researching the protective capabilities of vitamin D are increasing as more findings confirm the benefits of vitamin D.

Researchers say obtaining vitamin D through skin exposure to sunlight may not be adequate and diet and supplements may be an effective way of improving levels of the vitamin without putting skin at risk through increased exposure to the sun. Sue Fairweather-Tait, head of nutrition at the UK’s Institute of Food Research, says sensible supplementation of vitamin D may be the only way to achieve optimum vitamin D levels.

Another study presented at the conference suggested normal body weight also helps promote prostate health.
