A recent study has revealed a link between vitamin D and Parkinson's disease. As per reports, people at the initial stage of Parkinson's disease were reported to be deficient with vitamin D.

Though earlier researchers have hinted on the possible association of Parkinson’s disease and osteoporosis, this recent study has unveiled another facet of the study. If statistics are to be believed, around 70% people with early Parkinson’s disease have been identified with deficiency of vitamin D.

Many health experts believe that vitamin D is essential for the growth of dopamine, which prevents Parkinson’s disease. As per doctors, vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight and other energy supplements.

Many health experts have claimed that deficiency in vitamin D can lead to many health concerns, including impaired balance and muscle strength, cognitive and mood dysfunction in addition to diabetes, multiple sclerosis and some form of cancer.

Surprisingly, the fraction of vitamin D does not decline with the progress of disease and moreover, the amount of vitamin D has been found to be at higher end as compared to that of previous studies.

Responding to the study, the authors claim that the study has observed a significant decrease in vitamin D in the early stage of Parkinson’s disease as compared to that at the later stage of the disease.
