Vitamin D deficiency accelerates the aging process.

“these mice are the same age okay the mouse on the left the they're about four and a half months old so the mouse mouse on the left is deficient in vitamin D so it's diet has been deficient in vitamin D the mouse on the right has had normal Mouse levels of vitamin D so these are the same mice four months later is my mice are eight and a half months old look how gnarly the vitamin D is plugs I mean to say it's prematurely aging is a dramatic overstatement”

“the mouse on the left has been F vitamin D deficient throughout its life it's 4 and a/2 months old here the mouse on the right has normal vitamin D levels these are the same mice for months later look how much older and how you know much faster the vitamin D deficient Mouse has aged”

“vitamin D also regulates the aging process these mice are the same age the mouse on the left has been F vitamin D deficient throughout its life it's 4 and a/2 months old here the mouse on the right has normal vitamin D levels these are the same mice for months later look how much older and how you know much faster the vitamin D deficient Mouse has aged”

“when you knock out the vitamin D receptor in in mice that it affects the way they age um so the top of the panel you can see that both mice that wild type and then the vitamin D receptor knockout sort of Aging the same and then four months later the vitamin D receptor Mouse is is just it's a it's a accelerated aging model and you know yeah it looks terrible but like the organs on on every level things were um sort of accelerated in the way they were aging”

“when you knock out the vitamin D receptor in in mice that it affects the way they age”

“The vitamin D receptor knockout mouse is a progereria type of aging model. So it's accelerated aging. um its organs are aging faster, its skin is aging faster, the hair is falling out. um bones are brittle. So like pretty much every organ system is aging at a more rapid”
