This is a metastudy that tells much the same as prior studies, but doctors can now point to this and say, “The metastudy finally proves it.”

Regardless, they do sum up populations getting the 3,320 IU a day of vitamin D most helped:

“Significantly, the researchers discovered that the benefits of vitamin D supplementation were most pronounced in specific groups: non-Western populations, individuals with baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels below 15.0 ng·mL−1, those with a body mass index (BMI) below 30 kg·m−2, and older individuals aged 50 years or above.”

My 2 pills per day yield a blood measure of “63” whatevers per whatever, which I understand to be slightly on the higher than average side of the good range.

Interesting post (as usual), CM.

The study says a vitamin D dosage of 3,320 IU a day is quite beneficial.

The Mayo Clinic agrees that the proper vitamin D dosage can do many good things. They say up that to 2,000 IU a day is “generally safe” and 60,000 IU is toxic.

Hmm. I guess 3,320 IU is fine.

This guy says you need more vitamin D if you have these issues.
I went from 10,000IU to 20,000 recently after seeing this.

My surmise is that the somewhat equivocal results as to the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation for the cardiovascular system is the importance of magnesium status. The two nutrients are closely related in energy metabolism, but magnesium is hard to measure because it mostly resides inside the cells, with blood levels often a poor indicator.

Moreover, magnesium deficiency is common, with magnesium tending to be inadequate in processed foods, poorly absorbed, and easily eliminated by common diuretics and proton pump antacids. The best corrective supplements are in amino acid chelated form, with magnesium L-threonate the best in transiting the blood-brain barrier.

Notably, inadequate magnesium tends to promote calcium retention and calcification in the cardiovascular system. Residents in areas with magnesium rich hard water tend to have better cardiovascular health. I suspect that magnesium rich domestic and bottled water may be one of the reasons for the so-called French paradox of a rich diet but relatively good cardiovascular health.

The bottom line: if you are taking vitamin D for cardiovascular health, add in magnesium as magnesium glycinate or magnesium L-threonate.
