Regulatory T cells, or T-regs, are what keep your immune system from attacking your own gut lining, and in IBD that braking system breaks down.
One study found that activating the vitamin D receptor on immune cells converted over 40% into calming T-regs, while ulcerative colitis patients had significantly lower VDR activity to begin with.
It's one specific mechanism that may help regulate an overactive immune response, not a cure for IBD on its own.
