“In the context of COVID-19, a large associative study suggested that lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D are strongly associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how to assess vitamin D requirements and its toxicity potential.”

“Nutritional status plays a critical role in aging. Emerging evidence now suggests that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D slow epigenetic aging. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes evidence suggesting that supplemental vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids slow epigenetic aging.”

“The parent trial did not significantly improve its six primary outcomes, which included blood pressure, lower-extremity function, cognition, fractures, and infections. The practical use of omega-3, vitamin D, and strength training should account for baseline nutrient status, medicines, cardiovascular health, balance, and exercise capacity.”

“In a 16-week trial of overweight or obese African American participants with low vitamin D, supplementation produced dose- and clock-specific changes in DNA-methylation age estimates.”

“Bruce argues that while diseases of severe vitamin D deficiency like rickets are rare, the criteria for vitamin D deficiency should be based on long-term health biomarkers and not just short-term severe diseases.”

“Dose and retesting must account for baseline status and clinical context. A large randomized trial found that daily vitamin D supplementation did not reduce invasive cancer, major cardiovascular events, or all-cause mortality in generally healthy older adults.”

“When FOXO is NOT inhibited it activates genes which help with stress resistance, anti-oxidant genes, genes involved in DNA repair, genes involved in degrading bad proteins. 00:33:57 - Rhonda relates story about how inactivating IGF-1 in worms (during research at Salk) would *double the lifespan of worms (c.”

“In a study of over 190,000 people tested for SARS-CoV-2, lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were strongly associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates, despite race/ethnicity, age, sex, and latitude. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult describes the interesting similarity between COVID-19 risk factors and vitamin D deficiency risk factors.”

“Providing patients with calcifediol may improve vitamin D status faster than native vitamin D — that takes time for the body to process. This may be particularly important in the acute care setting where time is of the essence.”

“Vitamin D is crucial for many aspects of infant development. Breast milk contains negligible amounts of vitamin D and is typically considered inadequate to prevent vitamin D deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants.”
