Increased Vitamin D to the brain might help prevent/treat:
   strokes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Epilepsy, etc.
Normally the blood-brain barrier somewaht restricts Vitamin D from getting to the brain
The nose is directly connected to the brain – no blood-brain barrier

Founder of Vitamin D Life has been inhailing Vitamin D nanoemulsion through his nose and mouth since 2017
The lungs can activate vitamin D locally – a Vitamin D inhaler may help lungs – Aug 2016
Nanoemulsion Vitamin D may be a substantially better form

The nose, in addition to the lung, can activate Vitamin D locally.
A nose, surprisingly, has MORE square meters of surface area than a lung

Aim: For the treatment of cerebral ischemia, Vitamin-D3 loaded nanoemulsion were developed.

Method: Tween 20 and polyethylene glycol were choosen as surfactant/co-surfactant, while oleic acid as oil phase. The formulation was characterized for various in-vitro parameters. Targeting efficiency was investigated through radiometry, gamma scintigraphy and efficacy was studied in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) rat model.

Result: Vitamin D3-Nanoemulsion showed a mean size range of 49.29 ± 10.28 nm with polydispersity index 0.17 ± 0.04 and zeta potential 13.77mV. Formulation was found stable during thermodynamic stability study and permeated within 180 min through sheep nasal mucosa (permeation coefficient 7.873 ± 0.884 cm/h). Gamma scintigraphy and radiometry assay confirmed better percentage deposition (2.53 ± 0.17%) of 99mTc-Vitamin D3-Nanoemulsion through nasal route compared to IV administered 99mTc-Vitamin D3 solution (0.79 ± 0.03%). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the ischemic model confirmed better efficacy of Vitamin D3-Nanoemulsion.

Conclusion: This work demonstrated better permeation, deposition and efficacy of VitaminD3-Nanoemulsion through intranasal route.
