#39 - The Great Vitamin D Debate with Ge...

KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

Last week I caught up with Kate Deering, Matt Blackburn, Danny Roddy and Georgi Dinkov to chat about vitamin D supplementation.

In this podcast we will address both sides of the supplemental Vitamin D debate.

A few notes for the listening audience.

Vitamin D and its metabolites have many names, through out this interview it is good to know which ones are being discussed.

👉Cholecalciferol/ supplemental D3 is obtained by food, supplement and produced by body via sunlight
👉Ergocalciferol is D2, not produced in the human body, but is created by exposing certain plant-derived materials to ultraviolet light.
👉Calcidiol / ""Stored"" D / 25OHD/ 25-hydroxyvitamin D
👉Calcitriol/ ""activated"" D / 1,25D

In this podcast we discuss

👉What is vitamin D? 
👉The rat poison -Cholecalciferol connection. Should we be worried?
👉Is low vitamin D the symptom of poor health or the cause?
👉Why you do NOT want high levels of 1,25 (active) Vitamin D.
👉Parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25OHD,  Calcium and 1,25 vitamin D connection
👉Does 25OHD actually have ""active"" properties? 
👉Can taking supplemental vitamin D affect 1,25 D's levels?
👉The vitamin D -Corona Virus connection
👉Does Supplemental D deplete the body of nutrients?
👉What tests should you take to find out if you are ""low"" in Vitamin D
👉Who, if anyone, should take supplemental D
👉What is the best way to take supplemental D
👉Should we be concerned with supplemental D in our food?
