Vitamin D may protect asthmatics from an allergic response linked to common mold, suggests a new study from the US supporting the vitamin’s immune health effects.

Results of a cell study ,published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, identifieda connection between vitamin D levels and the activity of certain allergy associated immune cells.

"We found that adding vitamin D not only substantially reduced the production of the protein driving an allergic response, but it also increased production of the proteins that promote tolerance," said lead researcher Dr Jay Kolls from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center.
