Core Tip	In a cohort of 220 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, we observed that vitamin D (VD)-insufficient patients (< 30 ng/mL) had a lower health related quality of life (sIBDQ) in the winter/spring period. In all analyzed scenarios (ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s disease, the summer/autumn and the winter/spring period), the health related quality of life was the highest in patients with VD serum concentrations of 50-59 ng/mL, indicating a possible target level for therapeutic VD supplementation. Furthermore, we observed that supplementation with currently recommended doses of VD supplementation of 800 IU/d VD did not influence VD serum concentration or the sIBDQ score.
