The Claim
In young women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fluctuations in thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibody levels are correlated with concurrent fluctuations in 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels following vitamin D supplementation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In young women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, changes in vitamin D levels after supplementation are associated with changes in thyroid antibody levels.
See the scientific wording
In young women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, changes in thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibody levels correlate with changes in 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels following supplementation, indicating a potential link between vitamin D status and autoimmune activity.
When vitamin D levels rise, immune cells that calm down overactive responses become more active, while immune cells that attack the thyroid become less active, leading to lower levels of antibodies targeting the thyroid.
What the research says
1 studyWhen women with Hashimoto’s took vitamin D supplements, their antibody levels went down — and the more their vitamin D levels rose, the more their antibodies dropped. This suggests vitamin D might help calm the immune system’s attack on the thyroid.
