Cognitive Overview


Very brief summary of Cognitive decline
Treatment : Vitamin D intervention slows or stops progression
Prevention : Many observational studies - perhaps Vitamin D prevents
Omega-3 both prevents and treats cognition
Wonder the benefits if both Vitamin D AND Omega-3 were to be used

Poor cognition 26 percent more likely if low Vitamin D (29 studies) – meta-analysis July 2017
Every schizophrenia measure was improved when vitamin D levels were normalized – June 2021
Cognitive Impairment and Dementia often associated with low Vitamin D – April 2020

Types of evidence that Vitamin D helps brain problems - 2014
https://vitamindwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page_id=8392


Summary of this page by CHAT-GPT as of Sept 2023

  • Treatment for cognitive decline: Vitamin D intervention can slow or stop its progression.
  • Prevention: There are many observational studies suggesting that Vitamin D might prevent cognitive decline.
  • Omega-3 is mentioned to both prevent and treat cognition. There's a suggestion about the potential benefits if both Vitamin D and Omega-3 were used together.
  • The page references a "Dementia page" with 50 items.
  • There are 365 items in the Cognition category.
  • The page also provides overviews related to Alzheimer's-Cognition and Vitamin D, as well as Parkinson's and Vitamin D.
  • There are studies in various categories related to cognition, including Cardiovascular, Genetics, Vitamin D Receptor, Omega-3, Intervention, Meta-analyses, Depression, and Parkinson's.

Some highlighted findings include:

  • Poor cognition is 26% more likely if Vitamin D levels are low, based on 29 studies.
  • Every measure of schizophrenia improved when Vitamin D levels were normalized.
  • Cognitive Impairment and Dementia are often associated with low Vitamin D.
  • IQ levels around the world are falling, potentially due to lower levels of Vitamin D, Iodine, or Omega-3.
  • There's a mention of "WHITE MATTER" with 325 items as of March 2023.
  • Types of evidence that Vitamin D helps with brain problems are listed from 2014.

The page lists various studies related to cognition and Vitamin D. Some of the highlighted studies include:

  • "Alzheimer’s Is Now Optional" - Dr. Bredesen video and transcript from Sept 2023.
  • Senior cognition improved in various ways by Vitamin D (50,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks) as of Sept 2023.
  • Senior Cognition was not improved by an average of 2,000 IU Vitamin D - RCT from Aug 2023.
  • Personalized Lifestyle Intervention reduced cognitive decline (related to Alzheimer's) in Aug 2023.
  • Schizophrenia severity was reduced somewhat by daily 2,000 IU of Vitamin D – RCT from Aug 2023.
  • Seniors taking vitamin D were 40% less likely to get dementia as of Jan 2023.
  • Alzheimer’s was 1.6X more likely if vitamin D levels were below 25 ng – based on a meta-analysis from July 2023.
  • Global burden of brain disorders surpassed cardiovascular disease and cancer as of July 2023.
  • Cognition improved in various ways after Vitamin D levels increased to 32 ng (50,000 weekly) as of June 2023.
  • There's a mention of the "End of Alzheimer's" video and transcript from June 2023.
  • Better cognition requires at least 25 ng of Vitamin D, based on 38 studies – meta-analysis from June 2023.
  • The role of Vitamin D in Alzheimer's disease is discussed in various studies from 2022 and 2023.
