Vitamin D: a pseudo-vitamin for a pseudo-disease
- macawfish 8y agoPeople don't even know how to take vitamin D properly. A lot of people I know will take it at night, which could sabotage its beneficial effects by sending a strong signal to the body that it's day time. Vitamin D in the body is intricately wrapped up with calcium, magnesium, vitamin K and melatonin. I don't like this kind of black and white, linear thinking that labels what it doesn't understand as "pseudo".
- masonic 8y agoThe largest ever clinical study on the benefits of vitamin D ... but that study says nothing about effects of vitamin D supplementation because vitamin D supplementation isn't even monitored or asked about in the study! Period.
- macawfish 8y agoFrom what I can tell, that study only talks about vitamin D use with respect to bone health. My understanding is that if you take vitamin D without getting enough magnesium, you could develop bone spurs or other calcification... Yet neither of these articles mentions magnesium anywhere, not once! What good is a genetic analysis if they're not even considering magnesium? http://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2673882 http://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2673882
