Summary
This study, conducted by the Loyola University Chicago, investigated the effect of vitamin D on improving mood (depression and anxiety) and mental and physical health in women with type 2 diabetes. 50 women with type 2 diabetes and significant depressive symptoms were enrolled in this study. For six months, the participants received a weekly dose of 50,000 IU (1250 µg) of vitamin D.
