Vitamin D, in addition to the regulation of phosphorus-calcium metabolism, provides a multilateral support for immunity. Fundamental and clinical studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of allergic rhinitis and pathologies associated with chronic systemic inflammation (atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis). Chronic inflammation and immunity disorders against the background of hypovitaminosis D significantly reduce the body’s resistance to tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, acute respiratory infections, chronic bronchitis, and increases the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults. Evidence-based medicine data highlight the importance of the use of vitamin D preparations to support the immune system and anti-infection protection.
