High-dose oral vitamin D supplementation for prevention of infections in children aged 0 to 59 months: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function, and the deficiency thereof has been associated with several infections, most notably respiratory tract infections. However, data from intervention studies investigating the effect of high-dose vitamin D supplementation on infections have been inconclusive. Join us for this episode where Douglas Taren speaks with Janet Carboo and Martani Lombard Centre of Excellence for Nutrition (CEN), North-West University, Potchefstroom, North West Province, South Africa, about their systematic review and meta-analysis on high-dose oral vitamin D supplementation for prevention of infections in children.
