C-reactive protein (CRP) is a major inflammatory marker. In the study, it shows a graph with peoples’ CRP against Vitamin D status, and it is quite obvious that Vitamin D levels below 25 nmol/L is tied to much higher CRP than those from 25-100 nmol/L, which are nearly all then neutral (slight benefit to CRP above 25).
The study describes this as an “L-shaped” curve, which it is.
If you have a bad CRP result, you might want to determine if you are getting enough Vitamin D.

Vitamin D as in DUH. What do they tell ya. Stay out of the sun or you will get skin cancer. What really happens? Stay out of the sun and get everything else.

And drink more beer!
Seriously, I kept getting a low grade infection and doc could not figure it out till he asked about supplements. Seems I was taking too much D.

You need about 10 minutes/day if you are low on melanin.

I will just point out to people another way to think about this.
My CRP is normal. This causes Doctor’s to believe I don’t have a problem. It took a lot of pushing to get to the autoimmune tests that ended up showing a positive result.
So CRP is not always the end all be all test that Doctors make it out to be.
And as for Vitamin D..I have genetics that say I run low. I do run low at times but not all the time.
Even when I had an Xray that showed a lot of effusion and I was in a lot of pain..my inflammation markers were normal..and I have psoriasis
CRP is a great tool to look at if it is high. But if it isnt...that doesnt mean it is “in your head”.

Not in Seattle where in the summer you are supposed to use sunblock #4000 in the summer and in the winter - no sun.

I had found out I was depleted of vitamin D and I didn’t notice anything different.

I think people that consume the ideal amount of sodium and potassium have better skin and can stay in the sun.

Low on Vitamin D leaves you much more open to flu and colds including WuHan Flu. I have been taking D supps for 17 years and have not been troubled by virii since I started. Wife was a primary school teacher and brought home a virus at least a couple of times a year until we started on the D supps. She has been virus free in all that time, too, as have my three children.

Get a least a half hour of sun on bare arms every day in the summer and take D3 supplements through the rest of the year and avoid flu shots. You won’t need them.

I control my psoriasis with Turmeric and ginger. Works great. It also has eliminated the effects of the Arthritis I have had for a couple of decades.

Recommended amount is 4,000 units per day. More than 10,000 can be dangerous. Remember…vitamin d is actually a hormone.
