*NEW* vitamin D information everyone needs to know!

[InChristAlone]

I found this to be very well done:

Thanks, will check it out, awesome podast.

 

[sugarisgreat]

Thanks for adding this information!

And another reminder:
"Never take doses over 1000 IU/day without checking your levels regularly."

This is great information.
I just tested my vitamin D levels, and they are at 110.

Evidence Supports a Causal Role for Vitamin D Status in Global COVID-19 Outcomes​

Evidence Supports a Causal Role for Vitamin D Status in Global COVID-19 Outcomes

Background The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 seemed to affect locations in the northern hemisphere most severely appearing to overlap with the pattern of seasonal vitamin D deficiency. Integrating available knowledge, we hypothesised that vitamin D status could play a...

Not sure what the 10 10 9.9 is about. Can't seem to get rid of it

Yeah at what dosage? Boron is used to kill ants, but it's also a necessary mineral for humans.

Boron isnt considered essential for humans according to Peat or the fda. it might have some benefits but like vanadium, nickel, tin and silicon theres no rda currently established or confirmed essentiality!

Boron isnt considered essential for humans according to Peat or the fda. it might have some benefits but like vanadium, nickel, tin and silicon theres no rda currently established or confirmed essentiality!

From the abstract of the following article:
No estimated average requirements (EARs) or dietary reference intakes (DRIs) have been set for boron—only an upper intake level (UL) of 20 mg/d for individuals aged ≥ 18 y. The absence of studies showing harm in conjunction with the substantial number of articles showing benefits support the consideration of boron supplementation of 3 mg/d for any individual who is consuming a diet lacking in fruits and vegetables or who is at risk for or has osteopenia; osteoporosis; osteoarthritis (OA); or breast, prostate, or lung cancer.

Nothing Boring About Boron

The trace mineral boron is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and as recent research suggests, possibly for the evolution of life on Earth. As the current ...

Nah, changed my mind. I thought the host said Dgrouf instead of Gruff

interesting, whats that supposed to mean. that dosage is good, or is that why Fauci didnt get significant sides from the vaccines etc?

Any thoughts out there on the supposed more "bio-available" form of B5, pantethine, for use with D3?

I recommend Sperti Vit D lamp. In winter and when otherwise can't get good sunshine, use every other day 5 minutes and never have to worry about O.D.-ing on oral Vit D.

How long have you been using the lamp for? Would using this on the skin "tan" the skin if used long enough?

I bought it a little over a year ago. Used at most for 5 minutes a day, it won't tan the skin. I don't believe the UV it puts out is tanning wavelength anyway.

I seldom use it between Spring Equinox and Fall Equinox because I get plenty of sun during the warm months - enough to build up a store of D for the winter when I "top off" every other day with five minutes of Sperti.

Thank you for the reply, have you done before/during/after testing of vitD levels to see how the lamp usage effects it?

I am curious if there Fiji tanning lamp would provide both tanning and vitD wavelengths, but have not come across any info confirming this.

Nope, no blood tests, I abhor getting blood tests. Just go on how I feel.

Half an hour of summer sun makes for a distinct feeling of energy and well-being. Takes longer in spring and fall. I got a small dose of that feeling from the Sperti when I first started with it midwinter last when I was low on D. Now I view it as a top-off device. Build up D in the warm months, and use the Sperti to keep levels up through the winter. Only a week now until the sun is high enough again for UV from the sun at my latitude.

Sorry, no knowledge re the Fiji lamp.

Right on,

I like that approach. Do you have a particular sun "protection" routine for before/after sun exposure to avoid/help with burns, or do you mainly limit exposure length?

Burning would be caused from pufa or low vitamin d levels. I can sit in the sun for hours now and not burn

Absolutely, that has generally been my experience as well, given gradual acclimation to the sun.

I recently spent a week in florida, and the sun was beaming the entire time. Since I came from Canada (winter) I did burn slightly at first.

Do you get strong sun exposure year round?

Yes I did for a couple years until I moved up north this year. I’ve also been using a sperti whenever I don’t get sun.

what kind of sperti do you have?

The same one as @Doc Sandoz I bought it a couple months ago after reading some of his posts

in your experience, do you think the vitD lamp could produce a tan if used often/long enough?
