Over time, regaining the sense of smell is more likely in females, 38 younger persons, 38,39 those with lesser severity of initial olfactory loss, 39 and those with shorter duration of dysfunction. 39 However, there is no clear understanding of why olfaction issues come and go over time.…”

Objective: The purpose of this report is to present 2 cases of diminished olfaction that improved with increasing serum levels of vitamin D3. Clinical Features: Both patients were under the care of medical and chiropractic physicians for various complaints. A 47-year-old hyposmic woman was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency who incidentally noticed a progressive return of her sense of smell while taking vitamin D supplements as prescribed by her medical doctor. A 34-year-old anosmic woman noticed a direct relationship with her ability to smell and vitamin D3 supplementation. Intervention and Outcome: Treatment for the first patient consisted of vitamin D supplementation of 10 000 IU a day. Her serum D3 levels increased substantially over a period of 8 months, at which time she reported a marked improvement in her sense of smell. The second patient was prescribed 50 000 IU of vitamin D a week; and she reported an increased ability to smell, although only the strongest of odors. Conclusion: A link between hypovitaminosis D and a diminished sense of smell was noted in these 2 individuals.

Prognostic Factors of Olfactory Dysfunction

Abstract: The prognosis of olfactory dysfunction mainly depends on residual function, sex, parosmia, smoking habits, and age, whereas in this statistical model, origin plays only a second-line role, reflected in different degrees of initial olfactory loss.
