					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thenutritionwatchdog.com/vitamin-d-and-immune-function/#comment-167408&quot;&gt;Jeremy Harrison-Roberts&lt;/a&gt;.

My ex took 400 IU V of storebought Vitamin D of by itself to try and reverse statin damage. It had no effect on her. The body needs magnesium to process Vitamin D. I supplement 500 mg of time released Mg daily. To activate magnesium, the body requires zinc and vitamin B6. To achieve that, I supplement a trace minerals complex and the methylated folate, B12 and B6. It seems like a lot, but nutrition is cross dependant. The D I take is Bulletproof which also brings A and K2. You try that and I&#039;ll bet that 15k IU will have you amped up. Me personally, I take 1 Bulletproof 3 times a week with a fatty meal. If I take 5K IU every day, I&#039;m so amped I have trouble with anxiety and insomnia. That&#039;s why I do it every other day. Hope this helps!]]></description>

Vitamin D created in the body by the skin&#039;s exposure to sunlight, requires that the sun, penetrate to the layers in the skin where the synthesis occurs.   For people with lighter skin color, the sun&#039;s rays penetrates more readily.    For people with darker skin, which acts to protect them from skin damage due to over exposure to sunlight, it takes a lot longer for the sunlight to penetrate the skin and reach the layers where vitamin D3 is created.   In other words, people of color need to spend more time in the sun in order for them to gain the same benefits from sunlight, as people with lighter color skin.    If people lack adequate magnesium in their bodies, vitamin D3 will not synthesize as well and damage from sunlight becomes easier, leading to skin damage and cancer.]]></description>

I am told, that for vitamin D, D3, or many other vitamins to get fully absorbed, you need to have adequate levels of magnesium.    In many places in the country where our foods are grown, and produced, the soil lacks adequate magnesium.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I now own around 800 health and doctor books as a result of the doctors here in Chiang Mai knows too litle, as they only have learned what the drug producers wants them to know. Concerning the vitamin D, to me it was excellent to read the book by Robert R. Barefoot: &quot;Barefoot on Vitamin D, &quot;The Cancer Inhibitor&quot;&quot;. In which, among other, it was intersting to read newspapers titles starting way back nearly 80 years ago. One of these, from 1937, told about a 5 year research, in which dogs died by getting up to equal, if counted in personal weights, equal as if a 160 pound man daily got 14 million IU of vitamin. But one of the researchers during 2 week daily took 3 million IU, and no problem. And the nearly 800 research persons who got much much of D, not as much as 3 millions IU, they turned in increasing their health. A a result of this the FDA and the drug producers, wrote about dogs died by the viamin D, and warned against viamin D, telling it to be toxic if more than 400 IU/day, but at the same time started to produce and selling health drugs containing 50.000 IU of the D, and this became a success as people got healthy. Through out history it has been known how important sunshine/vitamin D is.

You forget to mention that you need cholesterol and K2 for in the skin transforming the sunshine into the vitamin D. But still the bought vitamin D is quit as good as sunshine, which especialle research finished in 1937 showed. Where among other one of the researchers during 2 weeks daily took 3 million IU of the vitamin D]]></description>

Actually Vit  D is inactive until it passes through two stages in the body, firstly the liver converts it to 25 dihydrogenase...then the kidneys to 1.25 dihydrogenase the ACTIVE form...this process if its from the sun relies on the cholesterol in the skin layer which is why older people on statins fail to make enough.Vit D3 is the best form without sunlight....and is very beneficial because the body can convert this to active form of D.
By the way it takes three days either way for the body to make enough to boost the Vitamin d receptors in the cells so dont think you boost immunity straight after being in the sun.
ICU doctors are now giving 25 hydrogenase version because it speeds up the activation time...which helps recovery by about two days.]]></description>
