Perhaps, although a bit of Vit D can can get into the body via food and supplements ..... either natural sunlight OR light therapy (of some kind and combination) is the way to go - ?

HOW TO INCREASE VITAMIN D LEVELS WITH RED LIGHT THERAPY

This article is about red light therapy thickening the skin so the UV light can be better absorbed....and the skin can keep healthier which again helps the absorption.....

Figure 9 - Vitamin D Absorption via Food VS Sunlight

SUMMARY
Okay, so let’s recap;

Vitamin D is essential for our health.

The sun provides us with the best source of vitamin D, but, unfortunately, in this day and age we don’t get enough of the UV rays that promote its production due to our modern lifestyles. We need to, thus, spend a lot more time in the midday sun to acquire healthy levels of this essential nutrient.

However, more UV sun exposure, especially when we are not used to it, would increase the risk of sun damage to our skins.

So, to combat this issue, red light therapy could be used. The photo-bio-modulatory effect of these spectrums of light would precondition and protect the skin from sunburn, and also help the skin to recover from daily exposure. Additionally, the ability of red light therapy to thicken the epidermis of the skin would make vitamin D production more efficient, with less UV exposure time needed.

Latest video from Dr John Campbell dealing with this very topic.

Wow, my Vit D is low

Some can be taking relatively high levels of supplement and still have low Vitamin D levels; while for those taking relatively low levels the opposite can be true.

He takes a richly-deserved swipe at the official UK guidelines which specifically instruct not to titrate (to gradually add one substance to another, in a controlled manner, to reach a desired reaction or concentration) Vitamin D levels for individuals and not to test.

Describes the test to check the vitamin D level by measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) if a person has:

• Musculoskeletal symptoms
  
• Suspected osteomalacia.
  
• Chronic widespread pain with other features of osteomalacia (such as proximal muscle weakness).
  
• Suspected bone disease that may be improved with vitamin D treatment, such as osteomalacia or osteoporosis.
  
• Known bone disease, where correction of vitamin D deficiency is needed prior to specific treatment, such as:
  
• Prior to Paget's disease treatment with a bisphosphonate.

Benefits (listed on the site)

Skin Health and Anti-Aging

Red light therapy (RLT) is well-documented for improving skin health by stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing skin elasticity. It promotes cell regeneration and repair, which leads to a more youthful appearance.

Wound Healing and Tissue Repair

RLT accelerates the healing process of wounds and injuries by promoting increased blood flow and cellular activity at the site of injury. It enhances the formation of new blood vessels and tissues, facilitating faster recovery.

Pain and Inflammation Reduction

RLT has been shown to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle injuries. It works by reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular repair.

Hair Growth and Hair Loss Prevention

RLT can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth, making it a popular treatment for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). It increases blood flow to the scalp and enhances cellular metabolism in hair follicles.

Muscle Recovery and Performance

Athletes use RLT to enhance muscle recovery and improve performance. It reduces muscle soreness, accelerates recovery after intense exercise, and increases endurance by boosting cellular energy production.

Joint Health and Arthritis Relief

RLT can reduce symptoms of arthritis, including joint pain and stiffness. It promotes cartilage repair and reduces inflammation in the joints, improving mobility and comfort.

Mood and Depression Improvement

RLT may have positive effects on mood disorders and depression by influencing the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. It can also help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Sleep Improvement

RLT can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle by influencing melatonin production. It has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration, helping individuals achieve better rest.

Cognitive Function and Neuroprotection

There is emerging evidence that RLT may support cognitive function and provide neuroprotective effects, potentially benefiting conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Acne Reduction

RLT can help reduce acne by decreasing inflammation and bacteria levels on the skin. It promotes skin healing and reduces the appearance of acne scars.

Dental Health

RLT can promote oral health by reducing inflammation, pain, and healing times in dental procedures. It may also support the treatment of periodontal disease.

Weight Loss and Metabolism

There is some evidence that RLT can aid in weight loss by increasing cellular metabolism and reducing adipose tissue. It may enhance fat cell reduction and improve body composition.

Hormonal Balance

RLT might influence hormonal balance by affecting the endocrine system. It could help with issues like thyroid function and hormone regulation.

Immune System Support

RLT may boost the immune system by enhancing cellular function and promoting the activity of immune cells. It could help in faster recovery from illnesses and infections.

Eye Health

RLT may benefit eye health by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair in the retina. It has potential in treating conditions like age-related macular degeneration.

An update from Dr John Campbell who interviews Professor David Anderson, retired endocrinologist and author of Vitamin D and the Great Biology Reset.

Emphasis on the importance of vitamin D3 for those in northern locations where sunlight exposure is limited in winter. Some remarkable anecdotes from the comments section from which one may reasonably surmise that low vitamin D levels correlate with many health problems, including respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, and immune weakness, not to mention a general frustration with conventional doctors.

Wow, my Vit D is low (14:00)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DEGJgQjdfyo

And so is mine — still. It's baffling to me. I feel 100% fine, I'm not sick, I'm not anxious about this in any way and it's really just a very minor mystery, but I can't raise my Vit D levels whatever I do.

I don't want to bore anyone with this! But here's the history. These tests were done at 2 week intervals.

1. After taking 5000 IU every 2 days for ever: 22.66.
2. So I changed to 10000 IU per day (a different brand, now 4x as much): 17.34.
3. Then I doubled my K2, to 1400 mcg/day: 19.97.
4. Then I changed to 8000 IU per day (a different brand from a new bottle: 20.53.

After (3), my hypothesis was that both my 5000 and 10000 bottles had date-expired (I'd had them for. long time), and so I figured the the potency had dropped to almost nothing.

Then I bought a new bottle off the shelf. But the results in (4) showed almost no difference. (I tested my magnesium as well, and that's at a high normal.)

NOW, I'm taking 10000 IU from the old bottle + 8000 IU from the new bottle (= 18000 IU/day), and I'll check it again one more time in another couple of weeks. (Fortunately, testing is super-cheap here!)

If it's still low, my last remaining hypothesis, the only one I have left, is that the testing is flawed and I need to go to a different lab.

~~~

Does anyone have a clue what might be happening here?

Once again: this isn't a serious problem at all. It's merely puzzling. I'm hoping this isn't cluttering up the thread, and might somehow be useful or interesting to someone reading this.

Another bewildering update.

As I wrote above, after my last test (17 Feb), I upped my D3 intake to 18,000 (eighteen thousand) IU/day. A couple of weeks ago I thought: Wow, I really don't want to overdose on this, so I reduced it a little to 14,000.

I did another test this morning (thankfully a VERY cheap thing in Ecuador). My level was 21.24.

I think I'm going to forget about the entire issue and just stop worrying!!

Maybe with vitamin D supplementation your body is just simply excreting it and also some of what it produces via sunlight. You could try stopping all vitamin D supplementation for a month or two and then test to see what your body is now doing.

Perhaps living at high altitude affects Vit D levels?

[East Sun]

People in Northern regions don't seem to need a lot of Vit. D. We may not need as much as was estimated.

Hi leavesoftrees. Good questions. Since high altitude might imply lots of sun exposure, lack of tree shade and extra snow-reflected light, am wondering about a short-onset genetic adaptation. Epigenics (Epigenetics?).

Hi Bill, I am keen on info about K2. Started a few weeks ago because of apparent need alongside D3. That was from either an Avalon post or from one of Dr. John Campbell’s excellent posts, he has covered Vit D3 extensively. The sales lady didn’t know the upper advisable dose/amount, and conveyed doubt in official .gov recommendations, but said that 1x 100 mcg capsule should be safe. I started with 1x and am now alternating 2X per day.

Any info on this would be most welcome. Any personal experience about K2, references or links or anything.

Then I doubled my K2, to 1400 mcg/day

Well, I did stop worrying! But just this morning I checked it once again — this time going to a different lab, one that I'd consulted quite a few years ago. I'd only changed to another one because the first was physically a lot more of a hassle to drive to in the busy center of town.

Lo and behold, my results came back as "over 120". (That's off-the-scale high. )

Believing it was low, I'd been supplementing myself with 18000 IU/day, mistakenly thinking that even this very high daily dose somehow wasn't working.

So the mystery is finally solved. The lab I was going to before was simply producing false low results.*

* And exactly the same for my B12, which had also come back mysteriously low at the previous lab I was using. I've posted about that separately on the B12 thread, because I do feel it's quite important to share the info. But today's new B12 test was also crazy-high, and even further off the scale than the Vitamin D.

So how do you actually FEEL, Bill, now that you're vitamin wedged? ie the same or on top of the world?

The smoking gun!

A little more from Dr. Ken Berry:

“…You’re probably going to have to take somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 international units a day to get 1200 units to be absorbed. And that's why it's also another bad idea to take 10,000 or 50,000 units of vitamin D2 is because when you take that much, you can only absorb so much at one time. And so if you're taking 50,000 international units of vitamin D2 a month you're gonna you can only absorb 1200 units a day. And so the rest of that vitamin D you excrete away and then for the rest of the month, you don't have any vitamin D. So that's a very unnatural, not helpful way to take it. …”


“I've been supplementing people with anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 units of vitamin D for the last decade. And I've seen maybe three people who's vitamin D 25 level got over 100. And we merely backed up their vitamin D dose a little bit. It came right back down to normal. They had no idea that that their level was over 100 because they felt great. So don't worry about vitamin D overdose. It's not a thing.”

"If you don't take the correct kind of vitamin D and have the proper lab work checked to monitor it, you can suffer from the symptoms of deficiency." ~ Dr. Ken Berry

Dr. Ken Berry: I was listening to a podcast and this guy was talking about magnesium deficiency and vitamin D deficiency and how it was epidemic in America, and no one was checking it and no one knew anything about it. So I thought I don't think that's true but the next time I draw lab work on some patients I'll check a few vitamin Ds and some magnesiums and we'll just see.

I was already checking magnesium and I haven't seen that at all. So I started checking vitamin D and at first I was checking a vitamin D125 which is the wrong test to check and the more I read, I finally figured out that I need to be checking a vitamin D25 level in my patient.

It was years ago and so when I finally got that right, I started to see that far more than 50% of my patients were deficient in vitamin D. And it kind of blew me away. Some people were a little deficient, but some people had almost a zero level of vitamin D in their blood which really worried me. So I really started to study about vitamin D. I joined the National Osteoporosis Foundation. I became very interested in bone health and vitamin D and the more I read the more I've discovered that vitamin D is very important for bone health, but it's also very important for hundreds of other things to optimize your health.

Quoting Paula's post just above, which quoted Dr Ken Berry:

So don't worry about vitamin D overdose. It's not a thing.”

I feel great! The puzzle I was trying to solve was how come my Vitamin D (and B12) levels seemed to be so low — even though I felt fine all the time.

Today's Vitamin D result was stated as "over 120"... I'd love to know how high it really was! (According to a quick search on the net, 150 is considered to be 'toxic'.)

(I just wrote a very polite and friendly email — in my best auto-translated Spanish — to the head of the previous lab I'd been using, to alert her to the possibility of flaws in her lab tests. Even though I'm quite unaffected, it might be a serious thing for someone else who really did had a health problem. )

[Olaf]

Dr. von Helden, who promoted higher vitamin D levels in Germany, has raised his own level to 130 ng/ml. The official overdose level is >150 ng/ml, but interestingly, the symptoms of a vitamin D overdose resemble those of a vitamin A deficiency. It is important to note that vitamin D only functions properly when vitamin A levels are sufficient (as well as vitamin K2 levels, in order to transport calcium into the bones).
In Germany, people typically have levels of around 20 ng/ml, but those who don't go outside, such as older people and children who play on their mobile phones indoors all day, can have levels below 8 ng/ml, which is dangerous.
I instruct all my clients to raise their levels to 75 ng/ml, which is in the middle of the normal range. Healthy people in Africa have levels in the range of 60–90 ng/ml.

It is important to note that storing and converting vitamin D requires magnesium. Storing and converting vitamin A requires zinc. I see many people with enormous deficiencies in magnesium and zinc.
In mass spectroscopic hair mineral analysis, I often see magnesium levels of less than 50% down to 15% only. Some of my clients have zinc levels only half of the minimum required level. These people also have problems digesting proteins, resulting in amino acid deficiencies. One of these people is my mother, who is 86 years old and has lost much of her muscle power in the last two years. We are now supplementing, but it can take years to raise magnesium and zinc levels to the required amount.
