“Vitamin D was classified as sufficient above 50 nmol/L, insufficient above 30 through 50, and deficient at 30 or below. Each group was compared with adults who had neither abdominal obesity nor low vitamin D, accounting for demographic, health, and lifestyle differences.”

“Eating mushrooms that had been exposed to sufficient ultraviolet light to increase vitamin D levels to 200 IU per serving increased vitamin D intake by 67 to 90 percent. A single serving of oyster mushrooms added 8 to 11 percent more vitamin D and 10 to 16 percent more choline to the dietary patterns.”

“Evidence now suggests vitamin D also influences body composition and muscle strength. A recent study in mice showed that high vitamin D intake increased muscle strength and mass without altering body weight.”

“Zeaxanthin (a polyphenol found in brightly colored vegetables, such as orange bell peppers and butternut squash). Vitamin E (found in seeds and nuts, such as sunflower seeds and hazelnuts). Choline (found in a variety of foods, including eggs and soybeans).”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explores blood tests to track health, statin alternatives, mitochondrial supplements, and vitamin B12 and autism risk in her latest Q&A.

“According to animal research, even mild vitamin C deficiency may impact fetal hippocampal development, a part of the brain crucial for learning and memory. From the article: > "Even marginal vitamin C deficiency in the mother stunts the fetal hippocampus, the important memory centre, by 10-15 per cent, preventing the brain from optimal development," says Professor Jens Lykkesfeldt.”

“Vitamin D is a hormone that regulates nearly 5% of the human genome and activates anti-inflammatory genes. 32 studies from January 1966 to January 2013 with more than 500,000 participants found that vitamin D blood levels between 40-60 ng/ml were associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.”

“How do I decide how much vitamin D to supplement with? Can you get too much vitamin D? Is there a difference in vitamin D made from the sun versus a supplement? What form of vitamin D is more bioavailable and absorbed better?”

“Vitamin C supplementation also prevented the nicotine-induced increases in surfactant apoprotein-B protein. [...] > Prenatal nicotine exposure significantly decreased levels of elastin content in the lungs of offspring, and these effects were slightly attenuated by vitamin C.”

“Vitamin D did not make the full four-hour response larger, which argues against a broad increase in post-exercise muscle protein synthesis. Instead, it may have changed early protein handling, giving muscle tissue a stronger early supply of essential amino acids needed for new muscle-protein production.”
