Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I was curious if my son has a vitamin D allergy : The vitamin D slant on allergy.

The main vitamin D metabolite calcitriol suppresses dendritic cell maturation and consecutive Th(1) cell development, which has independently described as a key mechanism of allergy development. Animal studies and epidemiological surveys now provide a first link of early vitamin D supplementation and later allergy where several vitamin D regulated genes seem to be involved. A randomized clinical trial of vitamin D supplementation could be a further step to follow up the vitamin hypothesis. He doesn't tolerate milk well.
