This Study Include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) Patients . Patients Were Vitamin D Deficient Age Range 40 to 80 Years, Smokers Patients Were Advised to Take Either Placebo or Vitamin D3 . Antioxidant Enzymes Were Assessed at Baseline and at 26th Weeks. (BSMMU)
80,000 IU weekly for 13 weeks, then 40,000 IU weekly for 13 weeks
Vitamin D Life anticipates that this trial will be successful
- COPD quality of life improved by 400,000 IU Vitamin D loading dose – RCT July 2019
- COPD 2.8 times more likely to be severe if low vitamin D – meta-analysis Oct 2016
- COPD strongly associated with Vitamin D Binding Protein problems – meta-analysis Aug 2015
- COPD severity is associated with Vitamin D deficiency – meta-analyses 2015, 2019
- COPD reduced by 40 percent with monthly 100,000 IU of vitamin D – RCT Jan 2015
COPD Overview has the following
- COPD = Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Wikipedia
- COPD has dramatically risen to become the 3rd leading cause of death
- COPD is 2 times as likely if you have low vitamin D
- COPD worsens 3X faster if < 0 ng of Vitamin D
- COPD attack is 30 times more likely if low vitamin D
- COPD can be effectively treated by Vitamin D
- using 50,000 IU weekly or 100,000 IU monthly
- COPD quality of life improved by 400,000 IU Vitamin D loading dose – RCT July 2019
- COPD exacerbations 2X less often if low vitamin D then supplemented – meta-analysis Jan 2019
- Worse breathing with COPD is related to lower Vitamin D – June 2018
- COPD ICU stay is 2.4 days longer if low vitamin D – Oct 2015
- COPD and Vitamin D, concise (46 page) review – Dec 2016
- 100000 IU vitamin D monthly helps COPD patients – 3 RCT
AND the Overview includes the following sections
50,000 IU weekly - 6X more likely to improve breathing - 2014
50,000 IU helped COPD in many ways - Jan 2015
COPD has become the 3rd largest global cause of disability: ages 50-69
