NCT ID NCT01351805
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This large study looked at whether taking daily vitamin D or fish oil supplements could lower the risk of developing autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis), reduce signs of inflammation in the blood, and ease chronic knee pain. Over 25,000 adults without prior cancer or heart disease took part. Researchers measured inflammation markers and tracked new autoimmune cases and knee pain severity over time.
