Vitamin D, especially when combined with calcium, may help prevent recurring vertigo, particularly in individuals with low vitamin D levels.
Based on a study, vitamin D and calcium supplementation presents a "simple, low-risk way to prevent vertigo from recurring" for those with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) ([^1]).
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Vitamin D | Supplementation may help prevent vertigo recurrence, especially in individuals with low levels. |
| Calcium | Often taken in conjunction with vitamin D to enhance its effectiveness in preventing vertigo recurrence. |
| BPPV | Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, a common cause of vertigo, may benefit from vitamin D and calcium supplementation. |
| Effectiveness | Most effective in people who have low vitamin D levels to begin with. |
While vitamin D and calcium may not stop an active episode of vertigo, they can play a role in preventative care.
