One person, through an evolutionary process for himself, has come has blogged Understanding Vitamin D with other Nutrients Vitamin D Survivor Jan 2013
His conclusions are columns 2 and 3 of the following table for adults
Nutrient | Survivor per lb | Survivor 200 lb = 91kg | US approx RDA Varies with age, sex, preg. | Needed by Vitamin D/Bone | VitaminDWiki |
Vitamin D3 | 40 IU | 8,000 IU | 600 IU | Bone | 4,000+ IU (not obese) |
Vitamin A | 20 IU | 4,000 IU | 4000 IU | Vit D | 20 IU/lb ? |
Vitamin C | 20 mg | 4,000 mg | 90 mg | 500 mg Helps seniors produce D | |
Magnesium | 4.5 mg | 900 mg | 400 mg | Vit D Bone | 250 mg |
Iodine | 50 ug | 10,000 ug | 150 ug | some | |
Sulfate {Survivor} | 40 mg | 8 gram | - | some topical MSM | |
Vitamin K2 | 120 ug (Vit K) | Vit D Bone | 100 ug per 1000 IU Vit D? (1000 ug Vit D Council) | ||
Zinc | 15 mg | Vit D Bone | some | ||
Strontium | - | Bone | some | ||
Silica | - | Bone | some horsetail | ||
Calcium | 1000 mg | Bone | Ca <750mg if D> 3000 IU | ||
Omega-3 | 1.1-1.6 g AI (no RDA) | Vit D? | 2 g | ||
Boron | - | Bone | 5-10 mg |
ug = microgram
mg = milligram = 1000 ug = 0.001 gram
We very much like the idea of basing nutrients on body weight, alternates:
- % fat in the body
- BMI, which is not a good measure)
but the amounts usually need to vary with
- Age (especially the very young and the very old)
- Medical condition or drug which interferes with the nutrient
- Pregnancy, lactation
- How much of the nutrient is already obtained from food/sun
- Amount of vitamin D
If have lots of vitamin D then perhaps Vitamin K2:10X?, Magnesium: 2X?
