Vitamine D goed als medicijn bij hart en vaatziekten
Vitamin D is an ‘inexpensive solution’ to heart drugs find scientists as they reveal the sunshine supplement can repair and prevent the damage caused by diabetes and high blood pressure.
Stimulates the production of nitric acid, which helps to regulate blood flow
Also prevents blood clots and lowers ‘internal stress’ in the cardio-system
Vitamin D may be able to repair damaged cells elsewhere, such as in the brain
Heart disease is defined as any disorder affecting the organ or blood vessels
Is the leading cause of death in adults in the US; resulting in one in four fatalities

Vitamin D is an ‘inexpensive solution’ to drugs as scientists discover the sunshine supplement repairs and prevents damage to the heart caused by diabetes and high blood pressure.
The sunshine supplement stimulates the production of nitric acid, which is involved in regulating blood flow and preventing the formation of blood clots, according to the first study of its kind.
It also reduces ‘internal stress’ in the cardiovascular system, which could avoid heart-related incidents, the research adds.
Study author Dr Tadeusz Malinski from Ohio University, said: ‘There are not many, if any, known systems which can be used to restore cardiovascular cells which are already damaged, and vitamin D can do it.
‘This is a very inexpensive solution to repair the cardiovascular system. We don’t have to develop a new drug. We already have it.’
Heart disease, which is any disorder affecting the organ or blood vessels, is the leading cause of death in adults in the US, resulting in one in four fatalities.
