Here’s What to Do About VDR Mutations Chris Masterjohn]
His post includes video and transcript.
His post has a discount to a Vitamin D Receptor analysis – $45 (StrateGene), which requires a $99 23andMe test
Comment by Henry Lahore, founder of VitaminDWiki
I took the $29 test in 2016 - the results were not very clear
I took the 23andMe test around 2014
I will buy the StrateGene analysis in 2018 to analyse the 23andMe test results
After looking at over 8,000 Vitamin D studies I am sure that
- Different people need different amounts of vitamin D to get to the same blood level
The range is about 4 to 1 - Some people need higher blood levels to get the benefits of vitamin D
Due to 6 genes as well as 30 other reasons - The best plan appears to be to raise the vitamin D dosing level to as to provide the desired benefit
My own vitamin D blood tests range around 100 ng for the past 7 years
Just to hedge my bets. I also do 6 of the 7 things(see table below) to improve my Vitamin D receptor and thus increase Vitamin D to my cells
Some of Chris Masterjohn’s publications on Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Omega-3, Cholesterol etc. on this site
- Price and Masterjohn on Vitamin A Vitamin D and Vitamin K – 2010
- Synergism between Vitamin D, Vitamin K-2, and Vitamin A: Masterjohn – Sept 2013
Vitamin D Receptor category has the following
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
- - - - - - - -
The Vitamin D Receptor is associated with many health problems
Some health problems, such as Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and COVID protect themselves by reducing VDR activation
55 health problems associated with poor VDR
A poor VDR is associated with the risk of 55 health problems click here for details
The risk of 48 diseases at least double with poor VDR as of Jan 2023 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
How to increase VDR activation
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 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
