Some other factors that are known to decrease the ability to convert dietary vitamin D to 25-VitD:

  • Polyunsaturated fats can decrease the bioavailability of vitamin D

  • Fluoride (which is present in many pet foods and water supplies)

    • decreases magnesium, which is an essential cofactor for vitamin D
  • Strong magnetic fields can reduce vitamin D levels

  • PCBs increase the risk of deficiency by 3%

  • Roundup (glyphosate, which is present in foods and the environment) decreases vitamin D

  • Flame retardants (which are 10 times higher in dogs than humans) inactivate vitamin D

  • Low magnesium in foods

  • Spay/Neuter (spayed females have 10% less 25VitD than intact females and neutered males have 30% less than intact males )

  • Kidney disease (prevents the conversion of 25VitD to the usable form of vitamin D)

  • Exposure to DDT and other pesticides

  • Certain drugs (as well as St Johns wort and mineral oil) can consume or block vitamin D
