Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment Is Simple in Theory, but... ============================== Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment is becoming a big issue as more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of having a Normal Vitamin D Level.
Getting to a normal vitamin d level is simple in theory, but harder to do in actual practice. The ‘short answer’ to: “What is the right Vitamin D Deficiency treatment”
is simply this: “Getting a high enough Vitamin D Dosage to get a Normal Vitamin D Level”!
Easy, right? Well, maybe not so easy as you think.
What is vitamin D Deficiency anyway... -------------------------------------- Naturally, this would be the first question to answer before we can actually TREAT vitamin D deficiency. I’ve answered this question on the Normal Vitamin D Level page, and you should go there right now to find out what your vitamin D level SHOULD be- and the answer is NOT the same answer that is on your lab sheet.
The lab sheet does not provide you with what the ‘optimal’ Vitamin D Levels are. And many researchers believe that the low level on your lab sheet is WAY too low and should be considered “vitamin D Insufficiency” rather than ‘Low Normal Vitamin D Level’. The Right KIND of Vitamin D Supplements
Once you find out your Vitamin D Level, you need to decide what KIND of Vitamin D Supplements to take for your Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment. The BEST vitamin D supplements are those containing Vitamin D3- also known as Cholecalciferol, and you can see the Vitamin D 2 vs Vitamin D3 argument on that page. But if you are being followed by a doctor for your Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment, it’s likely that you will get a prescription for Vitamin d 2- also called ergocalciferol or Vegan Vitamin D; even WORSE, you may be told that you need Vitamin D Injections. But rest assured that Vitamin D Injections are COMPLETELY unnecessary- and in fact, the injections ALSO contain Vitamin D2- the kind of Vitamin D that you DON'T want. If you happen to be a vegetarian or vegan who needs to have vitamin d deficiency treatment, then you will want to read the Vegan Vitamin D page to see what your best options are.
Vitamin D Spray for Immune Health Despite the argument for D3 that was made, the D2 will certainly not harm you and will be effective at correcting your deficiency. If, however, you read the argument and prefer not to take D2 (a good choice), then going out and buying Vitamin D Supplements in the form of Vitamin D3 is really the best choice.
Either way, you SHOULD be using Vitamin D3 for your Daily Vitamin D Requirements after your regimen of Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment is finished. Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment Protocols
It is becoming more and more apparent that the Vitamin D Dosage required for a normal vitamin D level is MUCH higher than you might think. In fact, it is such a large amount that many doctors just won’t give enough to actually correct the deficiency- although this is changing as doctors are becoming more experienced with vitamin D deficiency treatment. Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment Protocols
Most Adults Most Children aged 1 to 18
Dr. Michael Holick 50,000 IU's D2 once/week for 8 weeks Repeat if Level Less than 30 ng/ml
50,000 IU's D2 once/week for 8 weeks Leventis, P.1; Kiely, P. D. W
300,000 IU Vitamin D3 Orally 3 times per year The Use of Vitamin D in Clinical Practice
Up to 10,000 IU's per day Vitamin D Council
Enough to get the Vitamin D Level Between 50 -80 ng/ml Enough to get the Vitamin D Level Between 50 -80 ng/ml
If you have even mild Vitamin D Deficiency, it is likely that you will need to be taking approximately 50,000 IU’s per week for 4 to 12 weeks. If you have SEVERE deficiency, then you may need to be taking Vitamin D Supplements as high as 50,000 IU’s per DAY for a month or even two months until getting a repeat Vitamin D Serum Level. Some doctors may even give a Vitamin D injection of 600,000 IU’s once a month for several months until your Vitamin D Level gets up to the ‘Optimal Range’ of 40 to 80 ng/ml.
While these doses may seem VERY high to those who are not used to them, they are all acceptable dosages for Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment. There is little risk of a Vitamin D Overdose as long as you are getting your Vitamin D Level checked every few months of treatment and then at least every year thereafter. In fact, there has NEVER been a documented case of Vitamin D Overdose on 10,000 IU’s per day or less, in an adult, even when taken for several years! But the KEY is to get your Vitamin D Levels checked every 3 to 4 months during these high dose treatments- as much because of risk of overdose as for the risk of your levels staying TOO LOW!!
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin (that is really a hormone- see the Vitamin D Facts page for more information) that requires good liver function to convert what’s taken into the body into its active form in the blood. So particularly if you are large and/or you have poor liver functioning and/or you have had heavy exposure to toxic substances (and we all have these days), it may be difficult for you to get your levels into the optimal range and may need lengthy treatment and monitoring by a practitioner skilled in the use of Vitamin D supplementation. What’s the Vitamin D Dosage for Maintenance
When you finally have had your Vitamin D Deficiency Treatment and you now have a Normal Vitamin D Level then you can begin to take a maintenance dose of Vitamin D Dosage.
