Olmesartan (blood pressure drug Benecar) improves Vitamin D Receptor by an unknown amount

• When Olmesartan is taken at higher than normal dosing it apparently improved the Vitamin D Receptor
• Unable to quickly find how much increase in VDR it actually provides
• Benicar® Restores Vitamin D Receptor Competence June 2014
  Nice description with 20 references
• Science behind olmesartan (Benicar) Marshal Protocol
  Safety of olmesartan
  Potent anti-inflammatory
  Vitamin D Receptor agonist
  Pharmacodynamics
  The unbound Vitamin D Receptor degrades quickly
  Infected cells have VDRs with a shorter life span
  Bacterial products down-regulate the expression of the VDR
  Pregnane X Receptor (PXR) agonist
  Other beneficial effects
  Cardiovascular disease
  Kidney disease

• Ordering Olmesartan approx $1 per pill
• Dosing: 1 pill every 4 hours thus the cost is ~$6/day

Vitamin D Receptor category 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:

Increasing	Increases
1) Vitamin D supplement   Sun, Ultraviolet -B	Vitamin D in the blood and thus in the cells
2) Magnesium	Vitamin 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 VDR	Vitamin D Receptor
9) Boron	Vitamin D Receptor ?, etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin	Vitamin D Receptor
11) Progesterone	Vitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D Increases the concentration gradient	Vitamin D in the cells
13) Sulfroaphone and perhaps sulfur	Vitamin 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
