TLDR
Vitamin D supplementation is ineffective as an agent for lowering BP and thus should not be used as an antihypertensive agent.
Abstract
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Difference in SBP and DBP measured in an office setting. RESULTS We included 46 trials (4541 participants) in the trial-level meta-analysis. Individual patient data were obtained for 27 trials (3092 participants). At the trial level, no effect of vitamin D supplementation was seen on SBP (effect size, 0.0 [95% CI, −0.8 to 0.8] mm Hg; P =. 97;I 2 = 21%) or DBP (effect size, −0.1 [95% CI, −0.6 to 0.5] mm Hg; P = .84; I 2 = 20%). Similar results were found analyzing individual patient data for SBP (effect size, −0.5 [95% CI, −1.3 to 0.4] mm Hg; P =. 27;I 2 = 0%) and DBP (effect size, 0.2 [95% CI, −0.3 to 0.7] mm Hg; P = .38; I 2 = 0%). Subgroup analysis did not reveal any baseline factor predictive of a better

Vitamin D: Metabolism, Molecular Mechanism of Action, and Pleiotropic Effects.

TL;DR: The structure of the liganded VDR/RXR complex was recently characterized using cryoelectron microscopy, X-ray scattering, and hydrogen deuterium exchange, which will result in a more complete understanding of VDR coactivator interactions, thus facilitating cell and gene specific clinical applications.

Effect of Monthly High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation on Cardiovascular Disease in the Vitamin D Assessment Study : A Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: The Vitamin D Assessment Study as mentioned in this paper was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that recruited participants mostly from family practices in Auckland, New Zealand, from April 5, 2011, through November 6, 2012, with follow-up until July 2015.

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 cardiovascular disease prevention

TL;DR: Current available evidence does not support cardiovascular benefits or harms of vitamin D supplementation with the commonly used doses, and whether vitamin D has cardiovascular effects in individuals with overt vitamin D deficiency remains to be evaluated.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes

TL;DR: Evidence from studies that evaluated thresholds for serum 25(OH)D concentrations in relation to bone mineral density, lower-extremity function, dental health, and risk of falls, fractures, and colorectal cancer suggests that an increase in the currently recommended intake of vitamin D is warranted.

The Delphi list: a criteria list for quality assessment of randomized clinical trials for conducting systematic reviews developed by Delphi consensus.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to obtain consensus among experts about a set of generic core items for quality assessment of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and the final criteria list (the Delphi list) was satisfactory to all participants.

Vitamin D status and ill health: a systematic review

TL;DR: The discrepancy between observational and intervention studies suggests that low 25(OH)D is a marker of ill health, and restoration of vitamin D deficits due to ageing and lifestyle changes induced by ill health could explain why low-dose supplementation leads to slight gains in survival.

From vitamin D to hormone D: fundamentals of the vitamin D endocrine system essential for good health

TL;DR: The nutritional guidelines for vitamin D(3) intake should be reevaluated, taking into account the contributions to good health that all 36 VDR target organs can provide.
