Notes by Henry Lahore on Vitamin D Workshop June 2013,

  • 3-epi-25 hydroxyvitamin D form may make up 20 ng of vitamin d in infants < 1 year old
    • Not known what 3-ep1 form does. Some testers (Mass spec) include it, some ignore it.

  • Decrease of vitamin D with time: probably linear rather than exponential

  • 200 IU recommendation by WHO and intravenous feeding are both very out of date

  • How much vitamin D can the body process per day: some feel 10,000, others feel 50,000

  • The study which found sun last longer than supplements might have been for D2, not D3

  • Wonder how soon till infant/fetus is able to convert vitamin D into what the body can use ?

  • Some preemies need supplementation with active form of vitamin D –

  • Magnesium – yes, this orphan element might be a source of problems with vitamin D

  • Magneiusm bio-availability unclear

  • Epigenetics, twin study Vietnam perhaps 65% vitamin D variation is inherited

  • What happens when vitamin D is not taken daily – is something activated to decrease level

  • Might seniors need vitamin D more frequently than weekly?

  • Vitamin D should provide a great return on investment in Workplace Wellness

  • Pharacists like to sell Vitamin D3 instead of D2 – far more profit

  • Hypothesis: evolution would have arrived at > 50 ng of vitamin D if not had pesky skin cancer

  • Alzheimer's increase from 1% to 7% of Japanese adjusted for the same age, but there no concurrent increase in % of vascular cognitive decline!

  • To be effective need 2mg of sunscreen per square cm = about 1 tube per application

  • Why do meat eaters seem to have higher level of vitamin D than vegetarians?
