Vitamin D supplementation supports Brain Neurochemistry in addictions

Vitamin D is a neurosteroid – and as such has an impact on the overall structure and physiological functions of the brain as it easily traverses the blood-brain barrier. Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to reduce cravings in smokers and those who are attempting drug and alcohol detoxifications by modulating dopaminergic processes and  the Reward Pathways of the brain.  Vitamin D greatly increases the enzyme Tyrosine hydroxylase, which converts dietary L-tyrosine to dopamine – by simply supplementing with both Vit D and L-tyrosine, the brain produces more dopamine, and therefore a reduction in the need for cigarettes, drugs or alcohol.
