Brief Summary

The overall goal is to enhance vitamin D status in a safe and effective manner. A 3-week randomized comparator-controlled trial among a cohort of adults with CKD (stages 3-5) (n=24) will test the main objective: Evaluate the bioefficacy of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk with the sub-objective of: Explore the effect of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk on inflammation markers CRP, TNF-α and IL-6.
