Vitamin D deficiency may worsen psoriatic arthritis. But it's not clear if it can treat it, if you're not low in it. Here's what you need to know:
You can’t get too much vitamin D from sunshine because your skin limits the amount of vitamin D it makes. It’s also very hard to get too much vitamin D from food. The main way this happens is if you take too high of a supplement.The National Psoriasis Foundation says that the safest source of vitamin D is food. Good sources include:A cup of fortified skim milk A cup of raw mushrooms
If you are deficient – meaning your blood levels are under 20 ng/mL – then you should talk to your doctor about taking a vitamin D supplement. It’s found in multivitamin supplements but is also available as a standalone supplement. The two forms of vitamin D available are D2 and D3 . Both types will increase your blood vitamin D levels, but D3 is generally recommended as it raises it higher and for longer than D2.
