Zinc is one of a number of nutrients that are known to play a role in the prevention and control of a range of bowel conditions. Another key nutrient is vitamin D, for which there is growing evidence of benefit when supplemented as a treatment.
A meta-analysis published in 2018 by researchers in China recommends that vitamin D should be used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Published in the Medicine (Baltimore) journal, the analysis examines a total of 18 randomized controlled trials involving 908 patients. Noting that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, the researchers cite studies showing that supplementation with this nutrient can induce and maintain remission.
Deficiency of vitamin D is also now believed to be a key factor in irritable bowel syndrome, with research showing that supplementation can improve patients’ quality of life.
