XMRV and vitamin D levels...

[Guest guest]

I thought it would be good to post some pubmed citations on Vitamin D because a

lot of information in circulation is either stale (old) or just plain wrong...

" The physiologic range for circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D; the

measure of Vitamin D nutrient status] concentration in humans and other primates

extends to beyond 200 nmol/L (>80 ng/mL). This biologic " normal " value is

greater than current population norms for 25(OH)D. "

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15225842

" Concentrations of 25(OH)D > 80 nmol/L decreased the age-related increase in

SBP (High blood pressure) by 20% compared with participants having 25(OH)D

concentrations < 50 nmol/L (P < 0.001). "

" One can take a 10,000 IU vitamin D supplement every day, month after month

safely, with no evidence of adverse effect. (Am J Clin Nutr 1999;69:842–856). "

My reading of the literature is that 110-130 nmol/L is likely the ideal target

range....
