Rating (out of 5): 5

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) plays a critical role in supporting the parathyroid glands and the broader calcium homeostasis system within the body. The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels through secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Vitamin D is essential for intestinal absorption of calcium; insufficient vitamin D leads to hypocalcemia, which in turn stimulates the parathyroid glands to secrete more PTH, potentially resulting in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Numerous clinical studies and guidelines (e.g., Endocrine Society, National Institutes of Health) validate the use of vitamin D to maintain healthy parathyroid function and prevent disorders such as rickets, osteomalacia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Supplementation with vitamin D is a standard therapy in chronic kidney disease to reduce PTH overproduction. The physiological connection between vitamin D, calcium, and parathyroid hormone is well-established: adequate vitamin D levels reduce PTH secretion by improving calcium absorption and maintaining calcium balance. Thus, the use of vitamin D to support the parathyroid glands is strongly supported by scientific evidence and is an integral part of modern endocrine and metabolic bone disease management.
