- Arterial stiffness reduced by vitamin D many studies
- Stiff arteries in seniors associated with low vitamin D levels – July 2012
- Hypertension not reduced much if use less than 5,000 IU of Vitamin D – meta-analysis June 2018
Vitamin K helps prevent. probably even clean
- Vitamin K (across all dose sizes and types) decrease Vascular Stiffness – meta-analysis - Dec 2018
- Fast blood flow 6.8 X more likely if high vitamin D AND high vitamin K – Aug 2017
- Vitamin K2 decreases arterial stiffness (cleans arteries) – RCT Feb 2015
- Soft Bones, Hard Arteries, Vitamin D, Vitamin K2 and antibiotics – Sept 2012
- Arterial stiffness reduced by Omega-3, Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Magnesium, etc. many studies

Omega-3 Helps
- Cardiovascular Prevention with Omega-3 (finally using high doses) – Sept 2019

A poor Vitamin D Receptor can block Vitamin D in blood from getting to tissues
- Heart Failure 15X more likely if poor VDR, even if good level of vitamin D (China) – March 2019
- Coronary Artery Disease without diabetes 5 times more likely if VDR gene problems – meta-analysis May 2016
Cholesterol, Statins
- Cholesterol is needed to produce both Vitamin D and Cortisol
- Overview Cholesterol and vitamin D
- Statins and vitamin D statins often reduce levels of vitamin D
- Statin side-effects are reduced by Vitamin D – US patent Application – April 2019

Highlights
- This meta‐analysis is examining the effect of nutrition vitamin D on vascular stiffness that is surrogates for cardiovascular events.
- Correction of vitamin D deficiency by nutritional vitamin D may improve arterial stiffness.
- Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm whether these effects translate into improvements in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in vitamin D deficient persons.
It is unclear whether nutritional vitamin D supplementation in vitamin D-deficient persons improves arterial stiffness. To conduct a meta-analysis of the effects of the nutritional vitamin D therapy on arterial stiffness in adults with vitamin D deficiency, the Scopus, PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for systematic reviews conducted up to October 5, 2018. Randomized clinical trials that compared nutritional vitamin D therapy with placebo in adults with vitamin D deficiency were eligible. Two reviewers independently evaluated eligibility of all retrieved studies based on titles and abstracts. Meta-analysis was performed using random effect or fixed effects model and inverse variance method was used to calculate the effect using standardized mean difference (SMD) and weighted mean difference. A leave-one-out method was used for sensitivity analysis. The main outcome was arterial stiffness, indicated by the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV). We identified 237 records, of which 9 satisfied the inclusion criteria of the study. Our meta-analysis included relatively high-quality placebo-controlled randomized trials. In a random-effects model, nutritional vitamin D was associated with significant reductions in the pooled difference of PWV [(SMD: -0.29; 95% CI: -0.51 to -0.06), p = 0.01; Cochran's Q test: chi2 = 21.85; df = 9; p = 0.009; I2 = 59%; n = 909 from 9 studies]. All sensitivity analyses yielded similar results. Nutritional vitamin D supplementation significantly improved arterial stiffness (PWV) in several subgroups by correcting vitamin D deficiency, for a study duration of ≥4 months and a daily dose of vitamin D3 ≥ 2000 IU.
The study indicated that the correction of vitamin D deficiency by nutritional vitamin D supplementation may improve arterial stiffness in vitamin D-deficient persons, especially by the correction of vitamin D deficiency with a daily dose of vitamin D3 ≥ 2000 IU. However, further studies are required to confirm this.
