Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Vitamins, particularly vitamin D, play a scientifically validated role in supporting the parathyroid glands and the broader regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism in the body. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is crucial for maintaining serum calcium levels. Vitamin D is essential for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium and for bone health. When vitamin D levels are insufficient, calcium absorption decreases, leading to a compensatory increase in PTH secretion (secondary hyperparathyroidism). This relationship is well-established in clinical research and forms the basis for vitamin D supplementation in individuals with hypoparathyroidism or at risk for deficiency.

Clinical guidelines recommend monitoring and correcting vitamin D deficiency to support parathyroid function and prevent complications such as bone demineralization and osteoporosis. Randomized controlled trials and epidemiological studies consistently demonstrate that adequate vitamin D status helps regulate PTH secretion and supports the homeostatic functions of the parathyroid glands. Other vitamins, such as vitamin A or vitamin K, are not routinely used for parathyroid support and lack comparable evidence. Overall, vitamin D is scientifically validated as a critical nutrient for parathyroid gland function and calcium balance.
