The global vitamin D ingredients market is driven by several factors such as easy regulations and the separate categorization of dietary supplements from food. Vitamin D ingredients are listed under the Dietary Supplement category of FDA, which is a separate category created to distinguish these products from food. Dietary supplement manufacturers are not required to take approvals from the FDA. This category helps vitamin D manufacturers sell their products quickly in the market, without any hurdles. Before a company sells a dietary supplement, it needs to make sure that the products it manufactures are safe, that no false or misleading information is provided to customers and that it must comply with FDA regulations and that Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. As per the FDA, supplements are not intended to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure diseases. These features are meant to be used by drug manufacturers. Despite these restrictions, vitamin D manufacturers enjoy a wormhole, which allows them to sell their products without much trouble. Regulatory bodies advertise the benefits and uses of vitamin D and the problems associated with its deficiency and intake limits, which is a major driving factor for the growth of the vitamin D ingredient market.
The FDA, EFSA, NIH and many other regulatory agencies or government bodies have issued recommendations on vitamin D intake for every age group and pregnant women over the past few years. These regulatory agencies have identified the importance of vitamin D intake and the problems associated with the deficiency of the same. They have started issuing recommendations on the intake of dietary supplements, especially for vitamin D, to help people achieve a better lifestyle and health.

Vitamin D ingredients are expected to find higher applications as recently researchers have discovered that vitamin D ingredients and health supplements can reduce the risk of autism in new born babies. Sufficient dosage to pregnant women can help in reducing the risk. Research on the link between autism and vitamin D started from 2008, when Dr. John Cannell of the Vitamin D Council published a paper on the same. Many researches have been conducted on the same, but significant evidence was found in December 2016, when Professor John McGrath from the University of Queensland’s Brain Institute led a research team, and found that babies of pregnant women who didn’t take vitamin D supplements were found to be more prone to autism. Thus, medicines specifically structured for pregnant women will present a future opportunity for the market.

A recent research study published in the ‘Clinical Breast Cancer’, a magazine published by Elsevier, found that vitamin D supplement intake with chemotherapy can advance disease-free survival in women with HER2+ breast cancer. The research found that patients who took supplements containing vitamin D ingredient had a significantly better five-year disease-free survival as compared to those who did not. Also, patients who received supplements consisting vitamin D showed non-significant improved overall survival. This study gave boost to the theory that linked vitamin D with breast cancer.
