Many people focus on vitamin D intake, but without enough magnesium your body can't activate it, potentially leaving you deficient despite sun exposure or supplements.
I can never understand why doctors who work in the NHS here in the UK don't test for magnesium. And should they do they test serum levels and not intracellular levels.
I have my lab tests done at least 4 times per year. Two of those four tests are done within two weeks of the other back-to-back with different labs so as to keep them both honest.. Ironically, I had my test done this morning. I made an extra effort to obtain an RBC magnesium TEST. She refused stating that my Dr would need to order said test in writing. (and insurance does not typically cover it). The standard magnesium test is useless. But to answer your question, imagine, if you will, what the MONETARY repercussions would be within the pharmaceutical industry. As the “Midwestern Family Dr” related, “(I refer to him as “The World Renowned Family Doctor)” a precise Measurement of the Magnesium/D-3/K-2 TRIO is instrumental in accurate diagnosis of Vitamin D Deficiency and longevity.
Great info! I made a mistake of using a magnesium supplement that was not third-party tested as it turns out, my vitamin D levels could not be accurately adjusted for lack of a quality Mag Supplement.
Optimal Vitamin D Levels Differ for Specific Outcomes
Published on February 9, 2022
A review of the strongest evidence available identifies differing optimal vitamin D levels needed to help prevent diseases known as major causes of death
Key Points
A new review by Grant et al. has defined optimal vitamin D levels necessary to help prevent certain diseases known to be major causes of death, based on a review of the strongest evidence published to date
Optimal vitamin D levels needed for each outcome ranged from 25 ng/ml to 60 ng/ml – all of which were above the 20 ng/ml vitamin level recommended by the Institute of Medicine
Each system within the body has its own requirement for vitamin D in order to function optimally – measuring the vitamin D level is the only way to tell if you are getting enough vitamin D for your specific health concerns.
Dr. William Grant is a GrassrootsHealth scientist panel member who has published many papers on vitamin D which been cited over 20,000 times, according to Scholar.Google.com. He is listed as a top author for both Vitamin D and Vitamin D Deficiency, and has received the “World Expert” title for sunlight.
A new review by Grant et al. has defined optimal vitamin D levels necessary to help prevent certain diseases known to be major causes of death, based on a review of the strongest evidence published to date. Diseases identified as those with the highest mortality rates included cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease, and COVID-19.
Vitamin D Levels Required to Achieve Various Health Results
The findings, which are illustrated in the graph below, showed that optimal vitamin D levels needed for each outcome ranged from 25 ng/ml to 60 ng/ml – all of which were above the 20 ng/ml vitamin level recommended by the Institute of Medicine.
As the authors state, based on the evidence, “…given the multiple indications of significant health benefits from raising serum 25(OH)D concentrations above 30 or 40 ng/mL as well as the near absence of adverse effects, significant improvements in health at the individual and population levels could be achieved.” These results could be seen simply through achieving and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels!
Different Requirements for Different Systems and Outcomes
The significance of vitamin D on disease prognosis has been demonstrated by thousands of studies, on many different diseases or conditions, including breast cancer, prostate cancer and other cancers, thyroid disease, diabetes, and others. Each system within the body has its own requirement for vitamin D in order to function optimally. For example, while bone health may be optimized with a vitamin D level of at least 20 ng/ml, immune health may not be optimized until a vitamin D level of at least 50 ng/ml has been achieved, and the greatest reduction in breast cancer risk may not be seen until a vitamin D level of at least 60 ng/ml has been reached.
The Disease Incidence Prevention (DIP) Chart was one of the first graphics created by GrassrootsHealth, and it remains the most popular. It displays the reduction in risk of several diseases based on varying vitamin D levels. The DIP chart along with the Grant et al. study are reminders that
“…raising serum 25(OH)D concentrations to optimal concentrations will result in a significant reduction in preventable illness and death.”
Getting your Vitamin D from sun exposure is possible if you live south of the 35th parallel. Those of us who live north of it can't produce Vitamin D from sun exposure bc the sun’s rays are too weak. I’ve tested patients who work in landscaping and are outside for over 8 hours daily. Here in Nebraska, we need to supplement our vitamin D.
We have been told so often how bad the sun is for you so what do you expect. I go out in the sun and never slather on sunscreen as there is proof that the sunscreen causes skin cancer. Quit believing everything you have been lied to about everything in this corrupt world
