Vitamin D Receptor category has the following
530 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems

A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells48 studies in the Resveratrol category It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )
Health problems include: Autoimmune (
Several diseases protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor. Example: Breast Cancer

There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR
How to increase VDR activation
Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:Increasing Increases 1) Vitamin D supplement Sun
Ultraviolet -BVitamin D in the blood
and thus in the cells2) Magnesium Vitamin D in the blood
AND in the cells3) Omega-3 Vitamin D in the cells 4) Resveratrol Vitamin D Receptor 5) Intense exercise Vitamin D Receptor 6) Get prescription for VDR activator
paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?Vitamin D Receptor 7) Quercetin (flavonoid) Vitamin D Receptor 8) Zinc is in the VDR Vitamin D Receptor 9) Boron Vitamin D Receptor ?,
etc10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin Vitamin D Receptor 11) Progesterone Vitamin D Receptor 12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D
Increases the concentration gradientVitamin D Receptor 13) Sulfroaphane and perhaps sulfur Vitamin D Receptor 14) Butyrate especially gut Vitamin D Receptor 15) Berberine Vitamin D Receptor Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation. You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above
Far healthier and stronger at age 72 due to supplements Includes 6 supplements that help the VDR
Increased risk of diseases if poor VDR
Increased risk associated with a poor Vitamin D Receptor
Note: Some diseases reduce VDR activation
those with a * are known to decrease activation
Comments by Henry Lahore, founder of VitaminDWiki (Who used to have a lot of back pain)
The Vitamin D Receptor only limits the amount of vitamin D getting to a cell, it does not stop it.
If you have a poor vitamin D receptor you need more Vitamin D than others (3X?)
Suspect that applying Vitamin D topically to the back might help - no data

AIM:
Lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) is the most common cause of lower back pain (LBP) and sciatica. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene, which is located on chromosome 12 (12q12-q14), was the first gene reported to be potentially related to intervertebral degenerative disc disease risks. We conducted a case-control study of a Turkish population and investigated the association between the VDR gene rs2228570 FokI polymorphism and the development of LDDD.MATERIAL AND METHODS:
This was a prospective case-control study that included 45 patients with LDDD and 49 healthy individuals (control group). The clinical investigations of the LDDD patients consisted of neurological examinations, lumbar magnetic resonance imaging studies, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and Oswestry Disability Index scores. The VDR gene rs2228570 FokI polymorphism was analyzed via a real-time polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS:
We found that the individuals with the VDR GG genotype had a significantly increased risk of LDDD, while those with the AG genotype had a significantly decreased risk. In addition, the A allele may have a protective effect against LDDD in the Turkish population. Moreover, the VAS pain results showed that the GG genotype had a significantly higher score than the others.CONCLUSION:
Our results suggested that the VDR rs2228570 AG genotype was at a decreased risk and the GG genotype was at an increased risk of LDDD in the Turkish population. Since genetic polymorphisms often show ethnic differences, further functional studies are needed to evaluate the genotype and phenotype correlations in large cohorts of various ethnicities.PMID: 29569696 DOI: 10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.22275-17.2
