OT: vitamin D & body temperature increase

[Guest guest]

I'm trying to figure out if a significant increase in basal temperature might be

attributable to Vitamin D supplementation. Details below:

For a month I've been on D supplementation; 6000iu per day, between CLO & D

drops. My blood was measured at 34 for Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy, D-3, so I am trying

to get it up to 50 pretty quickly for pregnancy purposes.

For the past 2 weeks I have a pretty high basal temp--steadily between 98.7 and

98.9. it may have been high before that too but i wasn't tracking.

Between Sept 2004 and Aug 2008 (when I was tracking last), my basal temp was

quite low (98.1 at the average highest).

This is a relatively sudden increase of 3/4 of one degree Farenheit!

The only thing I've done differently in the past 8 months that I can think of,

which might relate to hormonal influence, is the vitamin D supplementation.

Interestingly enough, my daytime temps are normal at 98.6.

Does anyone know if vitamin D supplementation can cause a significant increase

in basal temperature? Or any sources that might help me research it? I've had no

luck searching the web.

Thanks so much for your wisdom!

Well, increase in body temperature is quite possibly related to a change in your

thyroid function, since the thyroid is the master regulator of metabolism.

I recently came across some discussion of a connection between vitamin D and

thyroid function on Dr. 's Heart Scan Blog. It's in the comments section
