How it works

Vitamin D regulates skin innate immunity, promotes antimicrobial peptide production, and modulates the T-cell responses involved in atopic inflammation.

Test blood levels first — supplementation is most beneficial if deficient. Doses above 4000 IU/day require monitoring. Take with vitamin K2 for bone health if supplementing long-term.

Why moderate evidence

A 2016 meta-analysis found vitamin D supplementation significantly improved eczema severity scores, with stronger effects in patients with confirmed deficiency.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
