Intervention - Vitamin D

Intervention = Give Vitamin D (or Mg, Omega-3, etc) to a portion of study participants and see what happens

Typically

  • Intervene with the group: one dose size, but sometimes intervene while varying the dose size

    • perhaps such that each individual exceeds the desired blood level (say 40 ng)
  • Group size: 50 to 500 people, but can be ~ 100,000 individuals ( Turkey- Rickets )

  • Vitamin D3, but sometimes an activated form ( Calcidiol, or Calcitriol)

  • Disease treatment, but sometimes disease prevention

  • Just Vitamin D (monotherapy), even though cofactors are very important, especially if > 4,000 IU

    Note - some interventions use loading doses to restore levels quickly (days or weeks instead of months)

Which also includes small single dose of vitamin D - say 100,000 IU

Not listed - Trials which clearly used too little vitamin D or too short of period
