Vitamin D Receptor test for 29 dollars (there are 5 more Vitamin D genes) – Oct 2016

I took a $30 test that told me if I had 'superhero' genes — and it was by far the most fun test I've taken

Very detailed description of the test is at http://www.orig3n.com/lifeprofile/superhero/
sold out as of Sept 5, 2020

Results of VDR test of Henry Lahore is at the bottom of this page
Note: In addition to the VDR there are 5 other genes whose failures are not detected by Vitamin D tests

Vitamin D Receptor category has the following

421 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 cells
It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )
Several diseases protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor.Example: Breast Cancer

A poor VDR is associated with the risk of 55 health problems  click here for details
The risk of 44 diseases at least double with poor VDR as of Oct 2019  click here for details
Some health problem, such as Breast Cancer reduce the VDR

VDR at-home test $29 - results not easily understood in 2016
There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:

Increasing	Increases
1) Vitamin D supplement   Sun, Ultraviolet -B	Vitamin D in the blood and thus in the cells
2) Magnesium	Vitamin D in the blood  AND in the cells
3) 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 ?, etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin	Vitamin D Receptor
11) Progesterone	Vitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D Increases the concentration gradient	Vitamin D in the cells
13) Sulfroaphane and perhaps sulfur	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

Vitamin D blood test misses a lot

• Snapshot of the literature by VitaminDWiki as of early 2019
• Vitamin D from coming from tissues (vs blood) was speculated to be 50% in 2014, and by 2017 was speculated to be 90%
• Note: Good blood test results (> 40 ng) does not mean that a good amount of Vitamin D actually gets to cells
• A Vitamin D test in cells rather than blood was feasible (2017 personal communication)
•    Commercially available 2019
  • However test results would vary in each tissue due to multiple genes
• Good clues that Vitamin D is being restricted from getting to the cells
  1) A vitamin D-related health problem runs in the family
  • especially if it is one of 51+ diseases related to Vitamin D Receptor
  
  2) Slightly increasing Vitamin D show benefits (even if conventional Vitamin D test shows an increase)
  3) Vitamin D Receptor test (<$30) scores are difficult to understand in 2016
  • easier to understand the VDR 23andMe test results analyzed by FoundMyFitness in 2018
  
  4) Back Pain
  • probably want at least 2 clues before taking adding vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, Resveratrol, etc
    • The founder of VitaminDWiki took action with clues #3&4
