Vitamin D

[James]

Turns out I'm deficient in vitamin D. Do you guys recommend a certain brand?

I just use CVS/Wallgreen brand of D3 2000iu's.

I checked the analyses done by consumerlabs.org and all brands passed. Buy what is cheap. 4000 IU per day of Vitamin D3 should suffice and it is extremely cheap.

Picked some up tonight. Tested me for Vitamin D out of blue. I was 21.5 ng/ml (30.0 - 100.0)

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Most people have low vitamin D. People with darker skin and more fat mass tend to have the lowest values.

Getting 20-30 min of sun (avoid face) per day can provide 2000-4000 IU of vitamin D but most of us do not get enough sun. Fortified milk and orange juice do not have enough.

What is the optimum blood level of Vitamin D for maximum testosterone?

As aways, good stuff Nelson.
