Vitamin D deficiency: Eat eggs to avoid deficiency symptoms - how many should you eat?
UK paper says 100 gram (2 eggs?) provides 26 IU
Thus 13 IU/egg
19 organizations state that 4,000 IU is OK
307 eggs = 4,000IU / 13 IU/egg
- Vitamin D in US eggs: 2 to 18 IU – March 2013
- Vitamin D from animal increases 6X when consider that already processed by animal livers
- Thus effectively 35 eggs = 4,000 IU (13 IU/egg X 9 = 117 IU/egg)
- Free-range chicken eggs have at least 3X more vitamin D – Oct 2013
Alternately: Just 2 cents per day to get average of 3,700 IU of vitamin D (from bi-weekly 50,000 IU supplement)
