Foreign media: New research shows that vitamin D helps burn wounds heal.

A new study suggests that vitamin D supplements can help burn wounds accelerate healing and prevent scarring, foreign media said.
the Daily Telegraph reported on November 6th that when the skin comes into contact with sunlight, vitamin D is naturally produced in the body. The vitamin is believed to help with burn healing.
previous studies have shown that vitamin D supplements help reduce inflammation, redness and swelling after skin sunburn, which may be one of the reasons the body produces the substance.
, a new study from the University of Birmingham in the UK has found that vitamin D may also help cope with other types of burns.
researchers looked at 38 patients with severe burns for a year and recorded levels of vitamin D in their bodies.
found that patients with the highest levels of vitamin D healed better and had fewer complications and scars.
study is the first to explore the role of vitamin D in burn recovery. The results suggest that providing vitamin D supplements to patients with severe and mild burns may be a simple and economical treatment that promotes wound healing.
Janet Lord, of the Institute of Inflammation and Aging at the University of Birmingham, said: "Low levels of vitamin D in the body are associated with a worsening of the condition in burn patients, which includes fatal infections, death and slow wound healing. "
levels in the body are also associated with more severe scarring, but clinicians often ignore vitamin D levels, " says Dr. Stroud. Severe burns can severely reduce vitamin D levels in the body, and re-replenishing it may be an easy, safe and economical way to improve the condition of burn patients. Patients
severe burns are at high risk of infection, which can lead to fatal sepsis.
is known to have antibacterial effects and protect against infection, thus helping to heal wounds in burn patients.
and his team are now focusing on why a person's vitamin D is lost immediately and rapidly after being burned, a phenomenon scientists hope will prevent in the future.
reduction in vitamin D in patients was not associated with the severity of the burns, so vitamin D levels decreased even if the burns were mild. This suggests that taking vitamin D supplements is also good for ordinary burn patients.
