“Most studies seem to show a reduction in all-cause mortality (or improvements of various outcomes) when blood status is above 40ng/ml but not in excess of 60ng/ml. I've referred to this as the Vitamin D sweet spot before and I think it makes a good argument for blood testing occasionally.”

“It is likely that there may be several different compounds present in coffee that may have a positive effect on cognitive function. On a side note, retinoic acid (vitamin A) was also shown to boost the activity of this enzyme although to a lesser degree than caffeine.”

“They found that vitamin D inhibited hyperglycemia-induced NLRP3 activation and IL-1 beta production, leading to lower levels of inflammation. Further investigation revealed that vitamin D upregulated AMPK production in the cells, which likely contributed to the reduction of inflammation.”

“All of these enzymes are magnesium dependent, and evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency impairs vitamin D metabolism. Vitamin D influences serotonin synthesis via its actions on tryptophan hydroxylase 2, a rate-limiting enzyme involved in serotonin production.”

“The authors posit that long-term supplementation at this dose is deemed safe, with no significant safety concerns reported, even for those with sufficient baseline vitamin D levels.”

“Vitamin D2 (plant-based) and Vitamin D3 apparently have a very important difference when it comes to athletes. Vitamin D2 worsens muscle damage post exercise, vitamin D3 enhances recovery. It is possible that the D2 inhibits or competes for an enzyme that is required to produce D3.”

“The researchers measured each person's telomere length at the start of the study, then again two and four years later. On average, telomeres shrank noticeably in the placebo group, but remained much more stable in the group taking vitamin D3.”

“Severity: “Based on CDC criteria, among our study patients, 74% of those had severe COVID-19 infection. The data analyses revealed that the severe disease infection was less prevalent in patients with vitamin D sufficiency (63·6% vs. 77·2% p=0·02).” Mortality: No one under the age of 40 died. In those over 40, 20% were vitamin D insufficient but they comprised of 90.3% of the deaths.”

“Graying hair is a cardinal sign of aging, typically beginning in a person’s fourth or fifth decade. Nutritional deficiencies, including low intake of protein, vitamin B12, iron, and copper, can contribute to premature graying.”
