Today I want to cover what you really need to know about vitamin D. The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU for adults under 70 years old. But, the studies that support this amount are outdated. Vitamin D reaches the cells through vitamin D receptors. Unfortunately, you can’t use blood tests to determine what’s happening in the cells, and various problems can occur with these receptors. For example, about 30% of the population has a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, meaning they have a difficult time getting the vitamin D they need. Many health conditions are directly related to a problem with the vitamin D receptor, including: • Autoimmune diseases • Breast cancer and colon cancer • Certain cardiovascular diseases • Certain cognitive diseases • Diabetes (type 1 and type 2) • Metabolic syndrome • High blood pressure • Tuberculosis and certain infections • Lyme disease • Hair loss • Crohn’s disease • Respiratory infections • Asthma and food allergies • Low back pain • Vitiligo • Osteoporosis • COPD • PTSD How to increase vitamin D: 1. Take more vitamin D 2. Take your vitamin D supplements inconsistently 3. Take magnesium 4. Take zinc 5. Take bile salts 6. Consume omega-3 fatty acids 7. Consume vitamin K2 8. Take resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and sulforaphane 9. Consume butyrate (vegetables) When using high doses of vitamin D, always check with your doctor. High doses of vitamin D can increase blood/urine calcium levels resulting in calcium deposits in the kidney. Also drink 2.5 liters of fluids per day, take cofactors with vitamin D (magnesium, K2 and zinc) and have your doctor monitor your PTH, vitamin D blood levels and creatinine and avoid excess calcium supplements of high calcium foods when taking vitamin D levels over 10,000 IUs.
