Vitamin D plays a critical role in the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism in the body, which is essential for normal functioning of the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), a key regulator of serum calcium levels. Vitamin D enhances intestinal absorption of calcium, and adequate levels of vitamin D suppress excess PTH secretion. When vitamin D is deficient, calcium absorption decreases, leading to hypocalcemia, which then stimulates the parathyroid glands to secrete more PTH (secondary hyperparathyroidism). This relationship is well-documented in medical literature and forms the basis for routine clinical testing of vitamin D status in patients with parathyroid disorders. Supplementation with vitamin D is a standard medical intervention to prevent or treat secondary hyperparathyroidism, especially in populations at risk for deficiency, such as individuals with chronic kidney disease or elderly patients. Numerous randomized controlled trials and clinical guidelines support the use of vitamin D for maintaining parathyroid health and managing related disorders. Therefore, the use of vitamin D to support the parathyroid gland body system is strongly grounded in scientific evidence.
