it is about the frequency of intake, 7 times per week a smaller dosis is possibly better than 1 times per week the 7-fold dosis... this is because the vitamin D may also do something within the gut flora itself... That's true I think ideally, as Vitamin D3 is naturally produced when UVB is at it's ...

Supplementation may help. I do not exclude the possibility that 7 x 3000 IE (daily intake) is better than 25,000 I.E. once per week. This was suggested as well in one of the above postings.. When we know perfectly well that the human body creates 10,000~20,000iu the moment it's given the chance of ...

If we are going to benefit from the anti-inflammatory potential of Vitamin D3 we have to ensure 25(OH)D levels ABOVE 50ng/ml are attained and maintained ALL the time. Naturally human skin generates 10,000 ~20,000iu of vitamin d3 given reasonable, non burning midday sun exposure. Humans evolved from ...

This trial only used 2 g of omega 3 daily. It did NOT make any effort to reduce omega 6 levels. Chris Kresser has a series of articles on omega 3 omega 6 ratio that will help you understand better why this trial was doomed to failure If we think about being poor and in debt as an analogy for our ome...

But she misses a huge connection, that of the endothelium, or the lining of all 60,000 miles of blood vessels ...
