“A small randomized trial in girls with low magnesium intake found greater hip bone-mineral accrual with magnesium oxide, but it does not prove that supplements prevent or reverse osteoporosis in adults. Magnesium interacts with other nutrients, including vitamin D.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D has a much broader role than initially thought — including regulating many genes and participating in the immune system. In the setting of COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency can lead to imbalances in the renin-angiotensin-system, a critical regulator of blood pressure, inflammation, and body fluid homeostasis.”

“(14:58) - How genetic SNPs can affect vitamin D deficiency risk. (20:15) - Low omega-3 intake from seafood is a top-6 preventable cause of death. (22:28) - Why ALA's conversion into EPA & DHA is inefficient.”

“Using a Mendelian randomization analysis, scientists determined that people carrying genetic variants associated with low vitamin D levels have higher mortality from respiratory tract infections and higher all-cause mortality.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Each of these enzymes is magnesium-dependent, and evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency impairs vitamin D metabolism. Population-based data indicate that high magnesium intake, whether from the diet, supplements, or both, is linked to higher vitamin D levels.”
