Core Tip Vitamin D (VD) is a main regulator of immune-mediated diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease. The VD-VD receptor signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier and gastrointestinal microbiota. Lower VD levels seem to play a part to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease and reflect the disease activity. VD deficiency is linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancer. In contrast, increased VD levels are associated with reduced bowel resection risk and fewer hospitalizations. Finally, there is promising evidence that VD administration could act as a therapeutic factor.
