So I've been taking for almost a month vitamins D3 & K2MK4 (in one pill that I smash to dust and add to my milk) and just vitamin D3 (pill, same company as the other). Lately I upped my D3 dose to 8000 IUs and there was a reason for it, but I started feeling cold despite no changes in my diet...
A really interesting study, which will likely generate more than a few hateful emails for my Inbox :): Anyways, as the study demonstrates, fasting achieves these negative effects due to the elevated fatty acids working through PPAR activator PGC-1α, to activate both the estrogen receptor (ER)...
A great study for a number of reasons. First, it discussed openly that in animal research circles cortisol administration is considered an official and reliable method of causing major depression. As the article states, for some reason human medical circles have been unwilling to accept the...
In a recent post of mine I discussed the effects of cortisol on various aminotransferases (especially TAT), their role as biomarkers of catabolism, and how inhibitors of said aminotransferases have a potent anti-catabolic / anabolic effects. In that same post, I also described how cortisol (a...
For the past few months I've been taking an oral vitamin D supplement, and I'm sleeping better than I have since I was a kid. Some nights I don't wake up to pee, which is really significant for me, because typically I get up at least twice.
I'm taking a 4000IU supplement on average three times...
Hey, recently I took a test for vit D & PTH to check if I need supplements.
Well, D came juste above the lower range,
PTH came at the very low range,
What I thought about this data was : that's good, PTH is low so it's good and this D is in normal range and seems enough to down the PTH so...
I was going through my old lectures on Calcium and did a double check firing up Pubmed... this scheme seems to make it pretty clear that calcitriol, just like PTH and Aldosterone should not be used up, to avoid intracellular calcification and higher blood pressure?
However, other studies...

In the past I've heard georgi say dht actually grows hair and its high in hair loss sufferers because oestrogen is too high. He also says taurine grows hair better than finastride, note this study was in an insect less than the size of an ant. I have never seen any case report with proof than...
I wanted to share some really great quotes from this paper:

Finally Confirmed! Vitamin D Nearly Abolishes ICU Risk in COVID-19

The first randomized controlled trial (RCT) of vitamin D in COVID-19 has just been published. The results are astounding: vitamin D nearly abolished the odds of requiring treatment in ICU. Although the number...
Bioavailability of Different Vitamin D Oral Supplements in Laboratory Animal Model
“Anyone sincerely interested in nutrition should be concerned that officially mandated nutritional committee reports for both North America and Europe now state that “Vitamin D is a hormone” [8], or that “Vitamin...
Not too long ago my blood vitamin D level was measured at 15 ng/ml. This was considered by my GP to be perfectly adequate, and she did not recommend supplementation. Ray would consider this to be a serious deficiency, and has stated that somewhere between 50-55 ng/ml is the safe level to...
I don't know if this has always been the case, but recently I've noticed that Ray tends to boil down his health advice to the following three pillars:
a high ratio of calcium to phosphate
adequate vitamin D levels (around 50 ng/ml)
correcting thyroid function
The suggestion being that if you...
His name is Dr. Robert Cywes and he's talking about D not as a vitamin but a hormone. His battle cry is this:
"Low D is not a disease, it's an observation. Modern healthcare treats observations, not disease processes."
@haidut, what is your take on this new voice?
