Getting Vitamin D into your body

http://vitad.org/tiki-index.php?page_id=5644

From supplements

Standard forms: Low cost and quick

A huge number of suppliers sell Vitamin D3 in 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, and 50,000 IU dose sizes
Forms: capsules, tablets, and gel-caps.
Typically the higher doses have a lower cost per IU
    Typically from 2 to 10 cents per 5,000 IU
Note: Should avoid getting more than 500 mg of daily Calcium

Other forms: often less than 20 cents per day

Sublingual: many brands
Topical Vitamin D such as nanoemuslions
Liquid Oil – in mouth, 1 drop typically contains 400 IU, 1,000 IU, or 4,000 IU, typically not taste good - Oil can also be used topically
  Note Some olive oils decrease vitamin D absorption by 25 percent – March 2016
  Note: most of the non-coconut oils are not digestable by infants
Spray – under tongue, in cheek – fast acting

If poorly functioning gut

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte – especially made for those with poorly functioning guts, or perhaps lacking gallbladder
Sublingual – goes directly into bloodstream
Oil: 1 drop typically contains 400 IU, 1,000 IU, or 4,000 IU, typically not taste good
Topical – goes directly into bloodstream. Put oil on your skin, Use Aloe vera cream with Vitamin D, or make your own
Vaginal – goes directly into bloodstream. Prescription only?
Bio-Tech might be usefulit is also water soluble
Vitamin D sprayed inside cheeks 2X more response (poor gut) – RCT Oct 2015
    and, those people with malabsorption problems had a larger response to spray
Inject Vitamin D quarterly into muscle, into vein, or perhaps into body cavity if quickly needed
Nanoparticles could be used to increase vitamin D getting to the gut – Oct 2015
Poor guts need different forms of vitamin D has the following

Duration: Long ~3-6 months, Normal = ~2 months

If dislike swallowing pills

Bio-Tech – capsule contains tasteless water soluble powder: pour into single meal or on tongue
Oil: 1 drop typically contains 400 IU, 1,000 IU, or 4,000 IU, typically not taste very good
Spray 1000 - 5,000 IU per spray - fairly expensive
Topica: Put oil on your skin, Use Aloe vera cream with Vitamin D, or make your own
Sublingual vitamin D
Vitamin D sprayed inside cheeks 2X more response (poor gut) – RCT Oct 2015
Inject Vitamin D quarterly
See also: inhaled vitamin D, below

Fast-acting forms


Vitamin D going thru the gut takes about a day to become activated
Fast-acting Vitamin D takes about 4 hours to become activated
Fast-acting is needed for medical emergencies, treating cold, treating flu, etc,

  • Topical - cream, spray, oil on skin
  • Sublingual vitamin D
  • Mouth-wash - put powder of 50,000 IUcapsules in 1/4 teaspoon of water
    swallow when done - after a few minutes
  • Inhaled - via lungs

If tend to forget – this is also the very lowest cost and time

Bio-Tech -capsule contains water soluble powder which can be used for home fortification
Just one 50,000 IU is enough for 1 healthy person for 2 weeks – costs less than 2 cents/day
Put a note/colord-dot on the calendar to take once every two weeks or more frequently
Can buy Vitamin D as bulk powder – and do you own home fortification This lowers the price from 2 cents per day to less than 1 cent per day.
Inject Vitamin D quarterly

If concerned about possible allergic reaction

Bio-Tech – contains no dyes, preservatives, oils, etc.

If Halal or Kosher restriction

Bio-Tech capsules are not made from pigs
No sheep were killed or harmed to make Bio-Tech Vitamin D

If Vegetarian

3 companies sell fairly inexpensive Vitamin D3 from PLANTS
Vitamin D3 is much better than Vitamin D2 In some cases D2 actually reduced the level of D3
No sheep were killed or harmed to make Bio-Tech capsules


From the sun: takes time, only part of the year, no cost, probably the best way

Get benefits of sun with minimal clothing, in middle of day, during summer
How many minutes of sun do I need – age, skin color, UV index – Nov 2014

Maximize vitamin D for time spent in the good sun, and minimize skin problems

Optimize vitamin D from the sun
Wear less clothing
Use a rarely available type of sunscreen which only blocks UVA (tanning) and not UVB (vitamin D)
Suntan oils effectively have a negative SPF should increase both tanning and vitamin D production by about 30%
They are basically mineral oils which reduce the light scattered by the skin

Maximize vitamin D rate while being socially acceptable

T-shirts, Polo-shirts, Shorts made from patented cloth which blocks only half of the UV rays

Concerned about skin aging, skin cancer

Never remain in the sun long enough that you burn, or even redden = skin damage

Elderly Skin generates much less Vitamin D

Elderly skin generates less vitamin D

Reflectors - when shadow is longer than you are or shadow is not distinct

From Ultraviolet Light – can be at home, large initial cost, the 2nd best way?

When the sun is TOO hot

It appears to be possible to make silver-coat a plexiglass “window”
that only passes UVB: no UVA, visible, nor heat. Not commercially available as of 2014

Get Vitamin D from the sun/UV with minimal darkening of skin

Good description of Discrimination based on skin color WikiPedia
   skin bleaching was a $28 billion/year market in 2008. Many women want lighter, not darker skin
UVB (vitamin D) without UVA (tanning) – Note: virtually all tanning equipment has a LOT of UVA
Special Window – passes only UVB, not tanning rays


From UV

Vitamin D lamp 1 cent per hour

UV better than oral for various diseases

UVB added in classroom reduced cavities, increased height, increased academics. etc


From food

Vitamin D from food is expensive (> 100X more expensive than from supplements)

Wild caught fish – especially Salmon

Meat has 6X more vitamin D than previously reported

More effective vitamin D in meat - processed by animal liver

Commercial fortification does not provide much

Fortified food rarely provides more than 100 IU per serving

Should avoid cod-liver oil containing too much Vitamin A, which retricts Vitamin D

Vitamin A category 54 items along with related searches

If poorly functioning Liver

Inhaled (if poor gut, liver, or perhaps lung problems)

Vitamin D Life started investigating late 2016
The lungs have been proven to convert Vitamin D into Calcidiol locally
The 90 square meters of lung surface area may prove to be an excellent way to get vitamin D into the body
Inhaled vitamin D may reduce breathing problems:many tissues can directly activate Vitamin D (no liver nor kidney needed)

Calcidiol

About a 6X increase in effective vitamin D in meat was reported in March 2014
Mussels may have an equivalent of 2,000 IU of Vitamin D per 100 grams – Dec 2016 example shellfish
Poorly functioning livers do not process vitamin D (Calcidiol is needed) – Sept 2014
Vitamin D3 becomes Calcidiol which becomes Calcitriol
Calcidiol may be 5X more effective than Vitamin D3 – June 2012
Is HyD (25(OH)D) a better form of vitamin D for some animals and maybe humans with liver problems


Calcitriol if poorly functioning Kidney and perhaps Liver

Search VitaminDwiki for CALCITRIOL 1940 items as of Jan 2017

Calcitriol category listing has 46 items along with related searches

Calcitrol was as effective as Vitamin D analogues, and 17X less costly – May 2012 Oral, $6.60/week
Company sells 30 Calcitriol pills over-the-counter for $61 Jan 2017
Solanum glaucophyllum herb:commercial availability for humans is unknown
Image
Patent for 7 day nano-encapsulated form - July 2014
Omega-3 increased active Vitamin D by 60% without a functioning Kidney
    The most bio-available form of Omega-3 appears to be VectoMega
Note: The Calcitriol form of vitamin D is NOT measured by standard Vitamin D tests


Poor Vitamin D receptor - you still might be able to increase Vitamin D to the cells

Vitamin D Receptor page has the following

384 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category

Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells
It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )

A poor VDR increases the risk of 55 health problems  click here for details
The risk of 44 diseases at least double with poor Vitamin D Receptor as of Oct 2019

VDR at-home test $29 - results not easily understood in 2016
There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:

IncreasingIncreases
1) Vitamin D supplement
  Sun, Ultraviolet -B
Vitamin D in the blood
and thus in the cells
2) MagnesiumVitamin D in the blood
 AND in the cells
3) Omega-3 Vitamin D in the cells
4) Resveratrol Vitamin D Receptor
5) Intense exercise Vitamin D Receptor
6) Get prescription for VDR activator
   paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?
Vitamin D Receptor
7) Quercetin (flavonoid) Vitamin D Receptor
8) Zinc is in the VDRVitamin D Receptor
9) BoronVitamin D Receptor ?,
etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcuminVitamin D Receptor
11) ProgesteroneVitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D
Increases the concentration gradient
Vitamin D in the cells
13) Sulfroaphone and perhaps sulfurVitamin D Receptor

Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation. You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above

Far healthier and stronger at age 72 due to supplements Includes 6 supplements which help the VDR
