Over 100 Scientists, Doctors, & Leading Authorities Call For Increased Vitamin D Use To Combat COVID-19 - Dec 7
web page - recommends 4,000 IU of Vitamin D daily
Nice step in right direction, but... by VitaminDWiki
4,000 IU
- Many Medical Societies are afraid of taking more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D
- 4,000 IU of Vitamin D is OK - 19 organizations agree - 2018 5 say 10,000 IU is OK
- 32% of the individuals signing the document report taking more than 4,000 IU daily
- There have been no documented cases of problems resulting from 10,000 IU daily for a year
- Overview Toxicity of vitamin D - note: Vitamin D is far less "toxic" than COVID-19 vaccines
But they indicate that 6,200 IU, not 4,000 IU, is needed to get most healthy individuals >30 ng/ml
However, Example of many observations that >40 ng/ml is needed
To get a long-term response >40ng/ml 12,000 IU daily would be needed
Chart which is the source of the extrapolation
With daily dosing it would take 4 months to get most people >40 ng
Note: chart is for 10,000 IU daily, which is close to 12,000 IU
Note: a 2nd chart shows it might take 7 months for 5,000 IU to get most people >40 ng
70% of all Vitamin D/COVID-19 Trials are using at least 100,000 IU in the first week
Response to weekly or monthly dosing
- Infrequent Vitamin D dosing appears to be BETTER than daily dosing
- 100,000 IU monthly took 4 months to get to half of the individuals to 40 ng
- 70,000 IU then 35,000 IU weekly got half to 40 ng in 3 weeks
- 50,000 IU weekly for all >40 in 10 weeks
Response to Loading Dose
- Overview Loading of vitamin D
- 200,000 IU loading dose got 40% above 40 ng
- Vitamin D loading dose (stoss therapy) proven to improve health
VitaminDWiki Recommendations if you do not have a Vitamin D blood test
based on 10,000+ Vitamin D and 300+ COVID-19 studies
If >40 ng turns out to be needed
Restore Vitamin D levels with 350,000 IU
If have symptoms - all in one day
If anxious 50,000 IU daily for 7 days
Maintain levels with 50,000 IU weekly
Side benefit: 50,000 IU weekly has been proven to fight 17 diseases
If only >30 ng turns out to be needed
Restore Vitamin D levels with 200,000 IU
If have symptoms - all in one day
If anxious 50,000 IU daily for 4 days
Maintain levels with 50,000 IU bi-weekly
Side benefit: 50,000 IU bi-weekly has been proven to fight 25 diseases
If welling to wait for 8 weeks
Restore Vitamin D levels with 50,000 IU week for 8 weeks
Maintain levels with 50,000 IU bi-weekly
Endocrine Society - Vitamin D restore and maintain
Side benefit: 50,000 IU bi-weekly has been proven to fight 25 diseases
Overweight need 2X more, youths need 1/2, children 1/3
