Facts about Vitamin D activation
- Vitamin D must be activated before a majority of the benefits can be realized
- Vitamin D can be activated by Liver & Kidney and put into the bloodstream
- Vitamin D can also be activated locally by most tissues in the body
Local activation is not detected by Vitamin D tests - Vitamin D is activated by the fetus sometime during gestation
Possibilities
- Placenta itself needs activated vitamin D all during gestation
- Fetus needs activated vitamin D before it’s liver and kidneys start functioning
during the time in which miscarriages typically occur
CYP27B1 RNA
| Tissues | Control | Primary miscarriage, | Recurrent miscarriage | P |
| Villous | 1.20 | 0.81 | 0.40 | 0.000 |
| Decidual | 1.35 | 1.20 | 0.44 | 0.003 |
Easy options to avoid miscarriages due to CYP27B1 restriction
- Increase blood-levels of Vitamin D
e.g. Increase some/all of vitamin D supplements, sunshine, UV, Magnesium, Boron, Omega-3 - Increase Vitamin D Receptor (which results in more Vitamin D getting into cells)

Vitamin D blood test misses a lot
- 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 shows 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

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:Increasing Increases 1) Vitamin D supplement Sun

BACKGROUND:
Effects of vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy have been associated with some adverse pregnancy outcomes. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) is integral to the vitamin D metabolic pathway. The enzyme catalyzes localized conversion of pro-hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Our aim was to investigate the expression of CYP27B1 at the fetal-maternal interface in the first trimester pregnancy and to determine whether CYP27B1 was associated with recurrent miscarriage (RM).METHODS:
Expressions of CYP27B1 mRNA and protein in villi and decidua from 20 women undergoing primary miscarriage, 20 women with RM and 20 women with normal pregnancy were evaluated by western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR. The co-localization of CYP27B1 and certain cytokines including IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 expression were examined using immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy.RESULTS:
Women with RM had a significantly lower expression of CYP27B1 mRNA and protein in villous and decidual tissues compared with the normal pregnant women (P = 0.000 in villus, P = 0.002 in decidua for mRNA; P = 0.036 in villus, P = 0.007 in decidua for protein.). Compared with the normal pregnancy, immunostaining for CYP27B1 was significantly decreased in villous trophoblasts and decidual glandular epithelial cells in RM women. No significant differences in the localization of CYP27B1, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 expression were identified between the normal pregnant and RM women.CONCLUSIONS:
Women with RM have a lower level of CYP27B1 expression in chorionic villi and decidua compared with normal pregnant women, suggesting that reduced CYP27B1 expression may be associated with RM. The consistent localization of CYP27B1 and IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 expression in villous and decidual tissues suggests the importance of the local production of 1,25(OH)2D3 at the fetal-maternal interface to regulate cytokine responses.PMID: 28033387 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0165589
