Comment<\/em><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.<\/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
