Today, we’re going to talk about the most important vitamin: vitamin D! There is a lot of misinformation about vitamin D.
Vitamin D blood levels are not very well correlated with the vitamin D inside your cells. It’s also virtually impossible to get enough vitamin D from food.
There are 2 different systems for vitamin D: one for calcium and bone and one for all the non-calcium functions of vitamin D, including the immune system, prostate, skin, gut, brain, and muscles. Hardly any of the vitamin D in your blood goes into this second system!
Most research on vitamin D involves the calcium system of vitamin D and only 600 to 800 IU. This amount may be sufficient for bone health but not for the other functions of vitamin D.
Barriers to vitamin D absorption that can lead to low vitamin D include the following:
•Air pollution
•Sunscreen/Avoiding the sun
•Gut inflammation
•Magnesium deficiency
•Genetics
•Latitude/Altitude/Season
•Aging
•Insulin resistance
•Low cholesterol
•No gallbladder
A healthy person needs around 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 each day. If you have health concerns, you may need more.
