Anyone else notice that Calcifediol is the most expensive vitamin-D analogue on the market? What a huge surprise that the study chose that form of vitamin-D specifically.
- hellofunk 6y agoCorrelation is not causation.
- JabavuAdams 6y agoThat's quite a leap. Also, this study was done in Spain, so US intuitions probably don't apply without further study. D3 takes 7 days to be fully metabolised to calcifediol. When Drs measure your D levels, they're actually measuring calcifediol.
- SamBam 6y agooral Calcidefiol is significantly more potent than vitamin D3, and is a faster way to boost blood Calcidefiol, which is the purpose of ingesting vitamin D. I assume that the researchers picked it (1) to increase the chances of seeing a significant effect, if there is one, and (2) because if hours are at stake in saving a person's life, the fastest boost may be needed.
