Recent research data shows that adequate levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

A long-term study followed about 800 people for 16 years and found that those with more vitamin D had less accumulation of tau protein, a common sign of Alzheimer’s.

Previous analyzes show that vitamin D deficiency can increase up to 50% the likelihood of developing dementia over time.

Scientists say vitamin D may protect the brain by reducing inflammation and removing toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s.

However, taking supplements does not guarantee disease prevention, and further studies are needed.

Experts recommend that people maintain adequate levels of vitamin D through the sun, foods rich in this vitamin or supplements, especially in middle age, to help future brain health.
