Overview Obesity and Vitamin D contains the following summary
- FACT: People who are obese have less vitamin D in their blood
- FACT: Obese need a higher dose of vitamin D to get to the same level of vit D
- FACT: When obese people lose weight the vitamin D level in their blood increases
- FACT: Adding Calcium, perhaps in the form of fortified milk, often reduces weight
- FACT: 168 trials for vitamin D intervention of obesity as of Dec 2021
- FACT: Less weight gain by senior women with > 30 ng of vitamin D
- FACT: Dieters lost additional 5 lbs if vitamin D supplementation got them above 32 ng - RCT
- FACT: Obese lost 3X more weight by adding $10 of Vitamin D
- FACT: Those with darker skins were more likely to be obese Sept 2014
- OBSERVATION: Low Vitamin D while pregnancy ==> more obese child and adult
- OBSERVATION: Many mammals had evolved to add fat and vitamin D in the autumn
- and lose both in the Spring - unfortunately humans have forgotten to lose the fat in the Spring
- SPECULATION: Low vitamin D might be one of the causes of obesity – several studies
- SUGGESTION: Probably need more than 4,000 IU to lose weight if very low on vitamin D due to
risk factors such as overweight, age, dark skin, live far from equator,shut-in, etc. - Obesity category has

Obese need more Vitamin D- Normal weight Obese (50 ng = 125 nanomole)
- Normal weight Obese (50 ng = 125 nanomole)
Obesity is associated with low Vitamin D (and treated by D as well) – Aug 2019 has the following
Fast weight loss by Obese Adults: Summary of the data as of Sept 2019
1) 50,000 IU Vitamin D weekly for at least 6 months
If gut problems, should use a gut-friendly form of vitamin D
2) Add calorie restriction diet and light exercise after ~2 months*
* Vitamin D levels must be above 30ng/ml to help with weight loss
* Start losing weight 2 months sooner if take a 50,000 IU daily for a week
3) More weight loss if also add Magnesium or cofactors
30% Improved Vitamin D response with Magnesium - a Vitamin D Cofactor
Note: Magnesium reduces weight loss by itself as well
20% improved vitamin D response if also add Omega-3 a Vitamin D Cofactor
Note: Omega-3 reduces weight loss by itself as well
4) More weight loss if also improve activation of Vitamin D Receptor
Vitamin D Receptor activator: 0-30% improved Vitamin D response
Obesity 1.5 X more likely if poor Vitamin D Receptor – meta-analysis Nov 2019
Update Dec 2019 - Dr. Greger plant-based eating (not diet) for both weight loss and health.

Obese individuals are prone to vitamin D deficiency because of sequestration of vitamin D in their body fat. We planned to evaluate the rise in serum 25(OH)D levels in vitamin D-deficient obese vs normal body mass index(BMI) children, after administration of identical single dose of vitamin D. Twenty-two obese and 22 normal BMI children with serum 25 (OH)D < 20 ng/mL were given single oral dose 150,000 IU vitamin D, and 25 (OH)D levels were measured at 1 week and 1 month post-intervention.
Results show that rise in 25(OH)D level from baseline was about 2.2 times lesser in obese compared with children with normal BMI, both at 1 week and at 1 month. The rise in 25(OH)D from baseline to 1 month was inversely correlated to BMI (r = - 0.56, p = < 0.001), waist circumference (r = - 0.48, p = 0.001), total fat mass (r = - 0.58, p < 0.001), and fat mass index (r = - 0.59, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The obese children have a 2.2 times lower rise in serum vitamin D levels as compared with the normal BMI children for the same dose of vitamin D supplementation. What is Known: • The obese individuals are prone to vitamin D deficiency and may be given higher doses of vitamin D supplementation. What is New: • Our study demonstrates that obese children have 2.2 times lesser rise in serum 25(OH)D concentrations as compared with normal BMI children when administered similar oral dose vitamin D.
