WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#bonehealth<\/a>–The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association for the dietary supplement and functional food industry, today responded to the results of an ancillary study of the Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial (VITAL) reported today in the New England Journal of Medicine<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nStatement by Andrea Wong, Ph.D., CRN senior vice president scientific and regulatory affairs:<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cVitamin D and calcium work in tandem to support bone health\u2014calcium helps build and maintain bones, while vitamin D helps your body effectively absorb calcium. So, these secondary study results are not surprising since VITAL was designed to assess vitamin D supplementation alone and did not include or control for calcium supplementation and intake. It seems obvious that investigating one without the other would produce disappointing results.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFurther, the study focused only on generally healthy midlife or older adults instead of individuals with vitamin D deficiency, low bone mass, or osteoporosis who may be more vulnerable to fractures and derive a benefit from vitamin D supplementation. The odds were stacked against this ancillary study before it even started.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDespite the limitations of the ancillary study, the main VITAL findings and another ancillary study have added to the body of research on vitamin D\u2019s impact on health, including promising results for reducing the risk of cancer-related death and autoimmune diseases. These and other important benefits have been completely ignored in the accompanying editorial, which outright dismisses vitamin D screening and supplementation.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe fact remains that vitamin D is an essential nutrient that supports numerous biological functions. Dietary studies have repeatedly shown many people still fall short of obtaining adequate levels of vitamin D and may be missing out on health benefits. The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/i> identifies vitamin D as a \u2018nutrient of public health concern.\u2019 1<\/sup> Advising people to stop taking vitamin D supplements when natural food sources of this nutrient are scarce and sun exposure may not be feasible for those who are most vulnerable, is a disservice to public health.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cPeople should discuss with their health care practitioner whether testing their vitamin D levels or supplementing with vitamin D is appropriate.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe CRN Foundation\u2019s \u201cVitamin D & Me!\u201d website<\/a> includes more information on the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency<\/a> as well as a library of scientific research<\/a> on vitamin D.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), founded in 1973, is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association representing more than 200 dietary supplement and functional food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and companies providing services to those manufacturers and suppliers. In addition to complying with a host of federal and state regulations governing dietary supplements and food in the areas of manufacturing, marketing, quality control and safety, our manufacturer and supplier members also agree to adhere to additional voluntary guidelines as well as to CRN\u2019s Code of Ethics.
