I’m so pasty pale I get all the vitamin D I need just in the sunshine exposure from a 20 minute drive to and from work every day.
It will be something else next week. I take 800 a day and I am not going to change.
A good rule of thumb with anything is keep doubling the dose until your urine is saturated with bright, red, healthy blood.
So who paid for the study? Just asking.
I don’t know about Vitamin D, but the “authorities” seem all hot and bothered to take away our vitamins and healthy foods.
Doubt everything they say.
let's see the studies...I can cite bunches of studies that say otherwise
Oh sure, now that millions are wolfing it down like big macs...
So we are worried about people getting cancer from too much Vit E supplements, but not these dumbass TSA body scanners? Rrrriiiiiigggghhhhhtttttt!!!
The food police can kiss it. I have my own brain & will take whatever supplements I damn well please. This is all BS anyway.....I don’t buy this study at all
The vitamin D blood test results are not reported as nanograms(ng). They usually reported as nanograms per deciliter(dl), i.e. concentration.
If that's your criterion for health, fine. The probablitity however is that higher doses will have a beneficial effect on all sorts of functions never before studied systematically.
An arbitrary dose of around 1000 mg daily is a fair measure which has no known negative side effects.
Didn’t an NIH study about 10 years ago prove that 2,000 IU / day resulted in a marked decline in cancer rates?
My wife has been a primary school teacher for 30+ years. Until last school year she has always gotten her flu shot and has brought home every flu and cold that the kids have brought to school. Last year when school started she commenced to taking 10k iu a day of D-3 and did not get any flu shot. She did not bring home any respiratory maladies though her classroom was full of it for at least a third of the school year. She repeated for this year and has brought no illnesses home so far. I take the stuff, too. I work at night and see little sun, even in the summer. I have had none of these maladies, either but then never did get them much, anyway.
This is poor advice. What is needed is for anyone concerned to go in and have your vitamin D levels tested. Sometimes it is hard to get vitamin D from either sun or supplements, and under 40 (units?) means you are far more likely to get sick.
I was taking around 2000 units a day, plus it was warm fall and I was getting outside a little every day. I got tested and my level was 20. That is unacceptable. I now am taking 10,000 units a day and will go back for another test.
Seriously, telling people how much to take is a bit ridiculous, if a normal healthy woman is taking 2000 units a day and still deficient per a blood test. If that “prestigious” institute wanted to be truly conscientious it would ask people to be tested to know their proper dose of supplementation.
There is a pattern here.
Every time a benefit is demonstrated from a substance, whatever it may be, the establishment scammers publish a foolish ‘study’ to ‘debunk’ it.
Are people really stupid enough to listen to these failures telling them what works doesn’t work?
