Protect yourself against mould allergies with vitamin D

Added 21.02.2011

For many people, mould does not present a threat; but for others inhaling their spores can trigger an allergic reaction, which for asthmatics can often cause serious complications. One type of mould which most commonly causes allergy problems is Aspergillus fumigatus. It grows in soil, compost heaps and in damp areas of the house such as basements, bathrooms and kitchens.

Vitamin D halts allergic reaction to mould

If you are allergic to mould, particularly to Aspergillus fumigatus, you might want to increase your intake of vitamin D! A new study has discovered that maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D in your body can protect you from mould allergies especially if you suffer from asthma.

The amazing thing about vitamin D is it appears to treat the cause rather than just the symptoms by decreasing the production of the protein (OX40L) responsible for triggering an allergic reaction. Vitamin D also increases the production of other proteins that help promote tolerance to allergic responses.
