A randomized clinical trial with oral high-dose cholecalciferol ( vitamin D3) was shown to prevent or delay the onset of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), typical for multiple sclerosis (MS).

Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function and in the VITAL study was shown to reduce the risk of autoimmune disease.
