“Vitamin D3 is converted into calcitriol, a steroid hormone that binds the vitamin D receptor and changes gene expression. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's presentation at the Vibrant Wellness Longevity Summit, she explains how limited UVB exposure, skin pigmentation, age, and higher body fat can make low vitamin D status more likely.”

“Vitamin A is important for the maturation of various cells of the innate immune system. Vitamin A deficiency can impair protective barriers such as the skin and mucosal layers, can weaken the response to vaccination, and might predispose people to respiratory infections. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how vitamin A is involved in mounting an immune response.”

“Vitamin D and respiratory tract infections Robust evidence suggests that vitamin D is protective against respiratory tract infections. Data from 25 randomized controlled trials from around the world demonstrate that daily or weekly supplementation of vitamin D reduced the risk of acute respiratory infection by more than 50 percent in people with low baseline vitamin D levels.”

“The vitamin and mineral content of breastmilk varies according to a mother's diet and tissue stores, but some nutrients are low in breastmilk regardless of maternal status. Vitamin K, in particular, is crucial for blood clotting and must be provided to newborns to prevent hemorrhaging. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the importance of vitamin K for newborn infants.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In this episode, Dr. Roger Seheult and I discusses... 00:09:13 - How the two phases of COVID-19 illness require different treatment protocols. 00:22:48 - How an association between COVID-19 positivity rates and groups most affected by vitamin D deficiency exists.”

“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.”
