As we age, processes like oxidative stress and organ and system aging can manifest as cognitive function that isn’t as sharp and mature as it was in our early years, but according to assistant professor of neuroscience at Mount Sinai Nicole Avena, Ph.D.vitamin D helps buffer these processes.*
in a 2019 Journal of Aging Research meta-analysis of the effects of vitamin Da clear connection was identified between vitamin D levels (i.e., how healthy is your vitamin d status) and age-related cognitive function.* The study authors found that insufficient and deficient levels of vitamin D are linked to less optimal global (also known as general) cognitive health parameters, while vitamin D sufficiency was associated with a protective decline in key brain biomarkers.*
Oatmeal adds to the list of ways vitamin D supports the aging population. previously said mbg that vitamin D receptors can be found in the area of the brain that forms new memories, “which may be compelling evidence that vitamin D is involved in the proper creation of new memories.”*
