A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vitamin D supplementation may slow biological aging by preserving telomere length, which are the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes.
"Our findings suggest that targeted vitamin D supplementation may be a promising strategy to counter a biological aging process, although further research is warranted," said Haidong Zhu, one of the authors of the report and a molecular geneticist at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University.
