Males red arrow is > 840 IU of vitamin D
Possible reason: high Calcium levels ==> Inflammation ==> Vitamin D used up
Some of the problems of excess Calcium (which causes inflammation) may be decreased by
- Magnesium
- Vitamin K
- Water
- Consuming Calcium from plants not rocks

Background
There are indications that an increased intake of calcium has a vitamin D sparing effect, which might be explained by a decreased catabolism of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). However, there are only a few studies where this has been examined.Method
In the seventh survey of the Tromsø study, serum 25(OH)D and parathyroid hormone were measured, and questionnaires on calcium and vitamin D intakes filled in.Results
There were significant interactions between sex, calcium and vitamin D intakes regarding serum 25(OH)D level. The analyses were therefore done stratified. In males there was, regardless of vitamin D intake, a significant decrease in serum 25(OH)D with increasing calcium intake. The difference in serum 25(OH)D between those with the highest and lowest calcium intakes was approximately 10%. In the females, there was in subjects with low vitamin D intake (< 7 μg/d) a significant increase in serum 25(OH)D with increasing calcium intake, which could not be explained by secondary hyperparathyroidism. In females with higher vitamin D intakes, increasing calcium intake was associated with lower serum 25(OH)D levels.Conclusions
There is, at least in subjects with an adequate vitamin D intake, a negative association between calcium intake and serum 25(OH)D.Increased Calcium decreases Vitamin D in males – Nov 2020Printer Friendly Follow this page for updates2298 visitors, last modified 03 Nov, 2020, This page is in the following categories (# of items in each category)Attached files
