Summer is coming.It is easy to get too much sun.While there's no cure for sunburn,a small but fascinating new study suggests taking large amounts of vitamin D after exposure may prevent the associated redness and inflammation (发炎) of your skin.
In the paper,researchers exposed 20 volunteers to a light resembling(类似) solar radiation to induce a sunburn(晒伤) on a small piece of skin.They then gave the “burn victims” large amounts of vitamin D,and followed up with participants one,two and three days (and a week) later to measure skin redness and thickness.The researchers found that vitamin D decreased inflammation and redness,compared with taking a placebo (安慰剂).And this effect increased in proportion to how much was consumed(消费).Vitamin D also appears to increase the activity of a gene(基因)called arginase1,which is involved in tissue(皮肤组织) repair and healing.Taking 50,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D—125 times the recommended daily allowance—led to a significant reduction in redness and inflammation,compared with the placebo.Those who took 100,000 IU had even less redness and pain;and those who took 200,000 IU had the greatest reduction in inflammation.
This is the first study to show vitamin D can reduce inflammation,and suggests that it “could potentially help prevent sunburn,”says s
