- Vitamin D blood test misses a lot due to genes
- No Vitamin D benefit if too small of dose for too short of time
- Back/leg pain lasted 1 year longer if low vitamin D
- Meta-meta analysis of Vitamin D
- Influenza -A infections half as often in children if got even 1200 IU of Vitamin D – RCT
- Variety of evidence that Vitamin D helps the BRAIN
- Death rate 2X higher - even for non-elderly
- Obese need 2.5X more vitamin D
- Many ways to increase Vitamin D
- Vitamin D levels around the world - 2014
- Map of Vitamin D levels - 2001
- 400,000 IU loading dose: feel the benefits in < 7 days
- Pre-term birth costs $51,800 (vs. very little vitamin D to prevent one: 10% of births are pre-term)
- $10,000 higher VA hospital costs if have low Vitamin D
- Huge decrease in many pregnancy problems as increase vitamin D
- Huge decrease in many health problems as increase vitamin D
- 35,000 IU reduced Psorasis
- Evolution seems to indicate a vitamin D level of 45-60 ng
- Risk Factors for Vitamin D Deficiency
- Many Vicious loops: low D ==> diseases ==> lower D
- Reductions before Vitamin D gets to the cells
- AVERAGE vitamin D responses (about half get vitamin D below the average)
- Recommendations around the world
- High percentage of populations have < 20 ng
- Is Toxic only if take a LOT of vitamin D for many weeks
- Less sun ==> Less Vitamin D ==> Less Health
- Seniors get less benefit from UV
- Variability between results from blood on same type of tester
- Incidence of 30 health problems related to vitamin D has doubled in a decade

Ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby - take Vitamin D before conception
Vitamin D is the 3rd best way to improve your health (but the most cost-effective)
Vitamin D blood test misses a lot due to genes

X = mental health trials which failed to show a benefit
Back/leg pain lasted 1 year longer if low vitamin D
Meta-meta analysis of Vitamin D
Influenza -A infections half as often in children if got even 1200 IU of Vitamin D – RCT
Variety of evidence that Vitamin D helps the BRAIN
Death rate 2X higher - even for non-elderly
Obese need 2.5X more vitamin D
- Normal weight Obese (50 ng = 125 nanomole)
