Calcium, Vitamin D Improve Cholestrol

News EditorResearch

Another research study published with positive outcomes for dairy.

A combination of calcium plus vitamin D during weight loss in overweight and obese women could improve blood cholesterol levels, says new research from Canada.

The new study, published in the current issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, lead author Geneviève Major from the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the university’s Faculty of Medicine reports that the combination of the vitamin and calcium may improve cholesterol levels during weight loss.

After 15 weeks of supplementation the researchers report that the calcium supplements significantly improved the total:HDL cholesterol ratio, reported to be the most specific lipid risk factor for CVD. Improvements in the ration of LDL (so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol) to HDL (so-called ‘good’ cholesterol) also improved. The improvements in blood lipid levels were independent of fat mass and waist circumference, they said.
