Vitamin D Could Help Combat The Effects Of Aging In Eyes


New, probably false, hope for the cure du jour.
Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have found that vitamin D reduces the effects of ageing in mouse eyes and improves the vision of older mice significantly. The researchers hope that this might mean that vitamin D supplements could provide a simple and effective way to combat age-related eye diseases, such as macular degeneration (AMD), in people.
After all, so many "benefits" of Vit. D have bit the dust.
