Low Vitamin D Supplement Plan

The following supplement plan is designed for people who have low Vitamin D levels.

It's estimated that about 42% of the U.S. population is deficient in vitamin D. Risk factors for vitamin D deficiency include living farther north, limited sun exposure, having darker skin, excess weight, older age, and certain medical conditions affecting vitamin D absorption. [PMID: 21310306] Vitamin D dosages should be adjusted based on your blood level with many clinicians recommending an optimal Vitamin D level of 50-80 ng/ml. Vitamin D Labs (affiliate link) can be ordered in the NutriScape Lab Shop.

On average, it's often cited that each additional 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 could raise blood levels by about 10 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter) over a period of several months. However, this is a rough estimate and individual responses can differ. Some people may experience greater increases, while others less.

Lack of Vitamin D contributes to many health problems. Researchers found that people whose Vitamin D concentration was below 9 ng/mL had nearly twice the age-adjusted death rate as those with levels above 35 ng/mL. [PMC4103214]

Vitamin K2 is combined with Vitamin D to protect a person from the possibility of high blood calcium that might result from excessive Vitamin D intake.
