How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?
From Dr. Sherry Rogers M.D. - March 2015 Total Wellness Newsletter
"The title of the article in the Journal of the American Medical Association was "Effect of High-Dose Vitamin D3 on Hospital Length of Stay in Critically Ill Patients with vitamin D Deficiency" (Amrein K, V12, pp 520-30, Oct 16, 2014).
As you folks learned in TW 2014, the evidence clearly shows that to diagnose a vitamin D3 level, the cut-off should not be 30 ng/dL (as in Lab Corp, Quest, etc). Instead, as the incontrovertible evidence shows, 60-80
* is an optimal vitamin D cut-off if you want to prevent heart disease, cancer, infections, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, etc…The (study) summary said that this "high dose" (extremely wrong- it equated to 3,000 IU D3 daily) did not cut down the death rate or the length of stay or the recurrence of problems. It made no difference. But this was incorrect. Because in the results section they clearly showed that folks with the most severe deficiencies (under 12 ng/dL) who were corrected with D3 had a monstrous 59% decrease in death rate in the hospital, compared with the placebo group which was not given vitamin D3."
* She has since then, in 2019, stated 85 is optimal.

Why Would I Be Low in Vitamin D?
Dr. Alan Christianson
Naturopathic Medical Doctor
11/20/2015 04:37pm EST | Updated December 6, 2017
My doctors and I test blood levels of vitamin D on everyone we see in our clinic. When the results come in, two things
happen:
1. Pretty much everyone is low in vitamin D.
2. Pretty much everyone is shocked that they are low in vitamin D.
Multiple studies have shown that people with low levels of Vitamin D have the following:
• Weaker bones [1]
• Higher mortality rate [2]
• More allergies and asthma [3]
• Greater risk of cancer [4]
• Higher risk of diabetes [5]
• Greater risk of heart attacks [6]
• Higher rates of MS [7]
• Higher risk of infections [8]
• More mental illness [9]
• Greater risk for chronic pain [10]

Vitamin D3 vs. Vitamin D2 & How to Obtain Both
By Rachael Link, MS, RD April 30, 2019
Finally, be sure to consult with a trusted health care professional before starting supplementation if you have any underlying health conditions. In particular, vitamin D may worsen symptoms caused by issues like kidney disease and hyperparathyroidism, as it increases calcium absorption in the body. If you’re taking medications like diuretics, heart
medications or antacids, you may also want to discuss with your doctor prior to starting supplementation to avoid adverse side effects.
The biggest difference between vitamin D2 vs. D3 actually lies in the way that they are metabolized in the body. In fact, one study published in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism found that vitamin D3 was nearly twice as effective at increasing vitamin D levels in the blood compared to vitamin D2.
For this reason, it’s generally recommended to select a vitamin D3 supplement whenever possible to optimize absorption and get the most bang for your buck. Taking a vitamin D3 supplement is an effective way to boost calcium absorption, promote bone health, support weight management and more.
