A new study found that a vitamin D3-loaded nanoemulsion significantly improves core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Children with ASD often have low levels of vitamin D3, which can affect language development and motor skills.
Researchers randomly assigned 80 children aged 3-6 to two groups: one receiving the new nanoemulsion, and another receiving a standard vitamin D3 supplement. The study found that the nanoemulsion group showed significant improvements in vitamin D3 levels, autism severity, social IQ, and language abilities.
The conventional supplement did not lead to meaningful improvements in behavioral outcomes. However, the nanoemulsion form of vitamin D3 increased its bioavailability and produced clinically relevant improvements in children with ASD.
The study suggests that nanoemulsion technology could be a valuable strategy for enhancing nutritional interventions in neurodevelopmental disorders. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential gender-related differences in response.
