Powder-based Vitamin D may be gut-friendly (Cystic Fibrosis) – RCT Aug 2017

Poor digestion (diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis, etc.) results in less vitamin D getting into the body
Other sources of vitamin D helps a lot for people with poor digestion

  • Many of the diseases which require 3 X larger doses of vitamin D to treat as to prevent are those which the digestion becomes worse: such as Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's, IBD, Celiac Disease, Parkinson's

Other forms include: Gut-friendly, Sublingual, injection, inhaled?, topical, UV, sunshine

Getting Vitamin D into your body has the following chart

And also the following
If poorly functioning gut
Bio-D-Mulsion Forte – especially made for those with poorly functioning guts, or perhaps lacking gallbladder
Sublingual – goes directly into the bloodstream
Fat-soluble Vitamins go thru the slow lymph system
   you can make your own sublingual by dissolving Vitamin D in water or use nano form
Oil: 1 drop typically contains 400 IU, 1,000 IU, or 4,000 IU, typically not taste good
Topical – goes directly into the bloodstream. Put oil on your skin, Use Aloe vera cream with Vitamin D, or make your own
Vaginal – goes directly into the bloodstream. Prescription-only?
Bio-Tech might be usefulit is also water-soluble
Vitamin D sprayed inside cheeks (buccal spray) - several studies
    and, those people with malabsorption problems had a larger response to spray
Inject Vitamin D quarterly into muscle, into vein, or perhaps into body cavity if quickly needed
Nanoparticles could be used to increase vitamin D getting to the gut – Oct 2015
Poor guts need different forms of vitamin D has the following

BACKGROUND:
There is little consensus on the most efficacious vehicle substance for vitamin D supplements. Fat malabsorption may impede the ability of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to absorb vitamin D in an oil vehicle. We hypothesized that vitamin D contained in a powder vehicle would be absorbed more efficiently than vitamin D contained in an oil vehicle in patients with CF.

METHODS:
In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, hospitalized adults with CF were given a one-time bolus dose of 100,000 IU of cholecalciferol (D3) in a powder-based or oil-based vehicle. Serum D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone concentrations were analyzed at 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours posttreatment. The area under the curve for serum D3 and the 12-hour time point were also assessed as indicators of D3 absorption.

RESULTS:
This trial was completed by 15 patients with CF. The median (interquartile range) age, body mass index, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second were 23.7 (19.9-33.2) years, 19.9 (18.6-22.6) kg/m2, and 63% (37%-80%), respectively. The increase in serum D3 and the area under the curve was greater in the powder group ( P = .002 and P = .036, respectively). Serum D3 was higher at 12 hours in the powder group compared with the oil group ( P = .002), although levels were similar between groups by 48 hours.

CONCLUSIONS:
In adults with CF, cholecalciferol is more efficiently absorbed in a powder compared with an oil vehicle. Physicians should consider prescribing vitamin D in a powder vehicle in patients with CF to improve the absorption of vitamin D from supplements.
