Idiopathic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is associated with intestinal inflammation and malabsorption and may cause serum vitamin D deficiency. We aimed to assess whether there is an association between idiopathic CIPO and serum levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D. Consecutive patients with confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic CIPO were prospectively enrolled and matched with healthy controls by gender, age, and BMI. Median serum level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D of patients with CIPO was compared with that of healthy subjects using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for matched samples. A total of 35 patients with CIPO and 35 matched healthy subjects were enrolled. All patients with CIPO had a 25-hydroxy-vitamin D deficiency with serum levels <12 ng/ml. The median serum level of vitamin D was significantly lower in patients with CIPO than in healthy controls (5.7 vs. 29.7 ng/ml, P < 0.0001). Serum level of vitamin D was not associated with gender (P = 0.27), age (P = 0.22), BMI (P = 0.95), high (>10 000 × ml) WBC count (P = 0.08), or high (>5 mg/l) C-reactive protein (P = 0.87) among patients with CIPO. CIPO seems to be strongly associated with low serum levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D.

“…Vitamin D, lactates and citrates support calcium absorption in the digestive tract. However, it is difficult to absorb calcium in the presence of aluminium compounds, phosphates (added to many products and carbonated drinks), excess magnesium, potassium and strontium [10,43,44].…”

“…Calcium from plant products is poorly absorbed due to the fibre and oxalic acid in vegetables and phytic acid in cereal products. Therefore, the best sources of calcium are skimmed milk, yoghurt and semi-skimmed cheese, as the lactose in them supports the absorption of calcium [11,43,44].…”

Milk is an exceptional nutritional product that has been used for many millennia in human nutrition. Milk is a source of many valuable nutrients, including calcium, vitamin B, an especially significant amount of vitamin B2 and fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, D and E. Milk is an attractive product for fortification as it has a high nutritional density in a small volume and a relatively low price. Research shows positive health effects of drinking milk and consuming dairy products. Even more health benefits can be obtained from consuming fortified dairy products. A literature review, current nutritional recommendations, medical recommendations and an analysis of the market situation all recommend introducing milk enriched with minerals in combination with vitamins to the market. This concept corresponds to the current market demand and may supplement the missing and expected range of fortified milk and the correct number of recipients.

“…Many adolescents consume poor diets, failing to meet the minimum recommendations for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products while exceeding the maximum recommended intakes of sodium, saturated fat and added sugars. The utilization of dietetic calcium can be compromised due to the large consumption of soft drinks with high phosphate content (inhibits the action of dihydroxyvitamin D) and snacks with excess sodium (risk factor for urinary sodium loss), interfering in bone mineral density [36,37] . The diet needs to offer adequate concentrations of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids for normal brain development [12] .…”

Adolescence is characterized as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood that involves developmental changes in the physical, psychological, social and neurobiological domains. During this phase of life, there are several physical and emotional events regulated by neurohormones which are fundamental for human development, responsible for changes in thoughts, attitudes, and body size and composition which culminate in complete maturity for a laborious and reproductive life. In addition, the necessary insertion in the social environment has great influence on living with family and peer groups, which will help to shape the individual. This article presents some physical, emotional and social characteristics involved in the adolescent's growth and development process, seeking to highlight the aspects directly related to the vulnerability of human beings in their second decade of life.
