Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Dusty, The Healthy Origins brand at iherb.com uses olive oil....good stuff.

" Neil _____ From: hypothyroidism [mailto:hypothyroidism ] On Behalf Of Dusty Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 11:08 AM hypothyroidism Subject: Chuck/Neil I was just diagnosed Vit. D Deficient - blood level of 20. Doc wanted me to take 50,000 IU for 6 weeks and be seen again.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Dusty, From what I understand what's important is that you are sure it is Vit D 3.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Venizia, Yes, it should be in a oil base. Mine are olive oil base, from the health food store.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. The D-2 (ergocalciferol) is derived from yeast or other plants, so it is prone to be in tablets. D-3 (cholecalciferol) is derived from lanolin (from sheep), fish or fish oil, such as cod liver oil, so it dissolves or mixes more readily with oils in capsules. Both are used to fortify milk and other dairy products. For many years D3 has been touted as the more potent of the two by about 30-50%, depending on the study. It is the type (actually about 37 variant molecules) that is produced in our skin by sunlight. Perhaps this is where the recommendation comes from to which you refer. However, there have been recent studies that suggest that they are about equal in health benefits, since both forms are transformed in the liver into hormones that actually do the work, particularly with calcium metabolism. These include the 25- hydroxyvitamin D (a non-active 'storage' form), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the biologically active form that is tightly controlled by the body. See M.F. Holick, R.M. Biancuzzo, T.C. Chen, E.K. Klein, A. Young, D. Bibuld, R. Reitz, W. Salameh, A. Ameri, and A.D. Tannenbaum, " Vitamin D2 is as effective as vitamin D3 in maintaining circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, " Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 18 December 2007. I doubt that the small amount of soy in a gel capsule will pose a significant risk to folks who are already replacing their thyroid hormones. It might be more of problem for people with a partially working thyroid. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Supplementing vitamin D with the " D3 " form is a no brainer. D3 is the form that comes from sunshine, the natural form. D2 is the synthetic version made by irradiating fungus with ultraviolet light, made in the lab. The D3 natural form is most always cheaper too. http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/11/5387?ck=nck " Vitamin D2 Is Much Less Effective than Vitamin D3 in Humans Vitamin D2 potency is less than one third that of vitamin D3. Physicians resorting to use of vitamin D2 should be aware of its markedly lower potency and shorter duration of action relative to vitamin D3. We showed that vitamin D3 raises and maintains 25OHD levels to a substantially greater degree than does vitamin D2, with a differential potency of at least 3-fold, and more likely closer to 10-fold. Clearly, vitamin D3 is the preferable form of vitamin D. " http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/68/4/854?ijkey=5c3260119734b33363e3 57e3901cf5e75df49565 & keytype2=tf_ipsecsha " Evidence that vitamin D3 increases serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D more efficiently than does vitamin D2 In all species tested, except humans, biological differences between vitamins D2 and D3 are accepted as fact. To test the presumption of equivalence in humans, we compared the ability of equal molar quantities of vitamin D2 or D3 to increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], the measure of vitamin D nutrition. Subjects took 260 nmol (approximately 4000 IU) vitamin D2 (n=17) or vitamin D3 (n=55) daily for 14 d. 25(OH)D was assayed with a method that detects both the vitamin D2 and D3 forms. Although the 1.7-times greater efficacy for vitamin D3 shown here may seem small, it is more than what others have shown for 25(OH)D increases when comparing 2-fold differences in vitamin D3 dose. The assumption that vitamins D2 and D3 have equal nutritional value is probably wrong and should be reconsidered. " http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023693?ordinalpos=12 & itool=EntrezSystem 2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum " The case against ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) as a vitamin supplement. Supplemental vitamin D is available in 2 distinct forms: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Pharmacopoeias have officially regarded these 2 forms as equivalent and interchangeable, yet this presumption of equivalence is based on studies of rickets prevention in infants conducted 70 y ago. The emergence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D as a measure of vitamin D status provides an objective, quantitative measure of the biological response to vitamin D administration. As a result, vitamin D3 has proven to be the more potent form of vitamin D in all primate species, including humans. Despite an emerging body of evidence suggesting several plausible explanations for the greater bioefficacy of vitamin D3, the form of vitamin D used in major preparations of prescriptions in North America is vitamin D2. The case that vitamin D2 should no longer be considered equivalent to vitamin D3 is based on differences in their efficacy at raising serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, diminished binding of vitamin D2 metabolites to vitamin D binding protein in plasma, and a nonphysiologic metabolism and shorter shelf life of vitamin D2. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, should not be regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation or fortification.

Blood level of active 25-OH-vitamin D3: Zero. In my view, prescription vitamin D2 is yet another example of drug manufacturer scams, a product that provides no advantages, costs more, but yields bigger profits.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 100,000iu weekly sounds like an incredibly high dose. I would be frightened to take that much. I take 42,000 a week, but am a big guy at 6'4'' and 250lb, and this gets me to 50ng/ml. My wife takes 28,000iu weekly to get to the same blood level. Since the Healthy Origins gels (no soy) come in 2,400iu very small gels, no wheelbarrow needed. Just a couple of gels a day gets it done.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi Neil, Yes, I stopped taking it twice a week starting last week. I am 5' 2 " and I usually need half of what most people can take in meds. I am extremely sensitive to meds. What amazes me is when I questioned this doctor about that amount, actually a couple of doctors about that amount, they said it is ok. I don't believe it.
