ICU patients greatly helped by Vitamin D loading doses – if gut-friendly

Meta-analysis on this page of all forms of Vitamin D did not find any benefit to ICU patients. ICU patients often have poor digestive systems, and so respond best to gut-friendly Vitamin D.

I have highlighted those gut-friendly RCTs using Vitamin D

Gut-friendly forms include:

• Injection

• IV

• Topical

• Emulsions

• Mucous membranes in the mouth

• Vaginal
