Sponsor's own description
A significant proportion of the United Kingdom population have inadequate levels of vitamin D in their blood. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for the growth and maintenance of healthy bones through increasing dietary calcium absorption within the body. A low vitamin D status has also been associated with other diseases such as osteoporosis, cancer (especially colorectal cancer), cardiovascular disease and type 1 diabetes. Our skin is able to synthesise vitamin D upon exposure to sunlight in summer. If exposure to sunlight is limited, then a dietary supply of vitamin D becomes essential. However, very few foods contain vitamin D. Among the best dietary sources of vitamin D are oily fish (including salmon, mackerel, herring and trout) and fish oils. Recently, the investigators found that certain shellfish, especially mussels, contain significant amounts of a metabolite of vitamin D, 25(OH)D3. Consumption of this metabolite, as a supplement, has already been shown to improve vitamin D status in humans. Whether consumption of mussels improves vitamin D status is unknown. In this study the investigators will be looking at whether consumption of 1, 2 or 3 portions of mussels per week for 12 weeks increases vitamin D status in healthy people.
