Abstract in brief

  • The study found that vitamin D supplementation alongside standard care significantly improved symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and was associated with increased serotonin levels and decreased inflammation marker neopterin.
  • No significant changes were observed in kynurenine levels or in patients who only received standard care without vitamin D.
  • Overall, vitamin D appears to help reduce GAD severity by improving neurochemical biomarkers related to mood and inflammation.]
