Increased levels of vitamin D seems does not encourage children academic performance according to study published in Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Previous research has linked increased levels of vitamins to increase the ability of brain (cognitive function) in adults.
Researchers wanted to find out whether this also occurs in children or not. Vitamin D usually derived from sunlight (vitamin D3) or plants (vitamin D2). Researchers measured levels of vitamin D3 and D2 on about 3,000 children at age of nine years on average.
Participants of these children are part of Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), which aims to track the long-term health of a group of children who were born in the early 1990's.
