According to research published in *Arthritis Research & Therapy*, patients with undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) who progress to well-defined connective tissue diseases (CTDs), including mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), often have significantly lower levels of vitamin D. This suggests a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and mixed connective tissue disease.

Patients with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and other connective tissue disorders have a high prevalence of vitamin deficiencies. While nutrition and supplements cannot cure MCTD, specific vitamins can play a supportive role in managing symptoms and supporting overall health alongside conventional medical treatments.
