New research, published in Nature Communications, has found a link between the important micronutrient zinc and a sensor protein in the gut in the prevention and management of a range of bowel conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Another key nutrient is vitamin D, for which there is growing evidence of benefit when supplemented as a treatment.<\/p>\n A meta-analysis<\/a> published in 2018 by researchers in China recommends that vitamin D should be used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis. Published in the Medicine (Baltimore)<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n Deficiency of vitamin D is also now believed to be a key factor in irritable bowel syndrome<\/a>, with research showing that supplementation can improve patients\u2019 quality of life.<\/p>\n To learn about the benefits of Dr. Rath\u2019s nutrient synergy approach for digestive health, see this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New research, published in Nature Communications, has found a link between the important micronutrient zinc and a sensor protein in the gut in the prevention and management of a range of bowel conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"\n
