Maternal Mineral and Bone Metabolism During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Post-Weaning Recovery

TL;DR: This review addresses the current knowledge regarding maternal adaptations in mineral and skeletal homeostasis that occur during pregnancy, lactation, and post-weaning recovery and the impacts that these adaptations have on biochemical and hormonal parameters of mineralHomeostasis.

Effect of vitamin D supplementation on non-skeletal disorders: a systematic review of meta-analyses and randomised trials

TL;DR: There remains little evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation has an effect on most conditions, including chronic inflammation, despite use of increased doses of vitamin D, strengthening the hypothesis that low vitamin D status is a consequence of ill health, rather than its cause.

Vitamin D and aging: beyond calcium and bone metabolism.

TL;DR: The evidence seems to support an association between low serum 25[OH]D levels and mortality rates (all-cause and cardiovascular) and the aging process and mortality are associated with low vitamin D levels.
