“…In summary, despite the aforementioned shortcomings of this study, we report a latest meta-analysis, The results showed that, in terms of effectiveness, vitamin D supplementation failed to have a significant impact on the overall effectiveness evaluation of the PASI, DLQI, PDI and CRP, and therefore we are in agreement with the findings of Formisano [11] and Theodoridis et al [12] The difference is that in the subgroup analysis, vitamin D2 seems to be more effective than vitamin D3, and Asians seem to be more effective than Europeans, an information that should not be ignored; in terms of safety, no serious adverse effects were found, except for minor discomfort in very few cases, but we need to be cautious in our evaluation as the optimal dosage still needs to be explored. Nevertheless, in order to further investigate the efficacy and safety of vitamin D supplementation, we call for more well-designed, large-scale, prospective randomized studies in terms of optimal dosage, different populations, and different vitamin D types.…”
