- The cross-sectional study examined 54 older adults diagnosed with or suspected of having mild cognitive impairment and disturbed sleep.
- Participants taking at least 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily scored more than 13 percent higher on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
- The study was small and observational, so it cannot establish whether vitamin D improves cognition.
- The NIH recommends 600 IU daily for most adults and 800 IU from age 70; 5,000 IU should be discussed medically.
Findings suggest that taking higher doses of daily vitamin D supplementation is associated with better overall cognitive performance in this population.— Sleep Medicine study authors
