Just a friendly reminder to take a vitamin D (I just discovered this!)

The purpose of this analysis was to determine the efficacy of calcium alone and calcium plus vitamin D in reducing incident cancer risk of all types.

.

Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 1400–1500 mg supplemental calcium/d alone (Ca-only), supplemental calcium plus 1100 IU vitamin D3/d (Ca + D), or placebo.

.

Improving calcium and vitamin D nutritional status substantially reduces all-cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

Here you go.

I'm curious, where did you find it if not on reddit?

Thanks for this, it is currently sitting in the back yard.

Also how fat you are, which is the basis of the original post.

Wait, what does being overweight have to do with the amount of vitamin D you receive?

.

"The team noted that after the so-called "sunshine vitamin" is initially absorbed (through either sun exposure or the consumption of such foods as oily fish and fortified milk), the body must then convert it into a usable form, called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This conversion process, however, seems to be short-circuited among obese people, complicating efforts to gauge their true vitamin D health."

.

“fat tissues might absorb or retain Vitamin D, so that people with more fat are likely to also be Vitamin D deficient.”

.

There are many other sources out there and if you're not satisfied with these two you are free to find them on your own.

From the very same source you quoted, one sentence above:

The factors that affect UV radiation exposure and research to date on the amount of sun exposure needed to maintain adequate vitamin D levels make it difficult to provide general guidelines.

But thanks for giving me permission to look for other sources otherwise I would be stuck. The fact is being overweight makes it difficult to get sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. It's my opinion that it's going to take more than getting a few mins of sun a day.

Not everyone can do that plus this is reddit after all. Also where is your source for 20-30 minutes?

Ooh touché, thanks for the infos. Was there any improvement in depression?

I did find this study, that showed supplementation aided weight loss, n = 63 though.

My fave is this one EDIT: This is just a hypothesis paper - thanks humbled.

Larger body size confers a survival advantage in the cold ambient temperatures and food scarcity of the winter climate by reducing surface area to volume ratio and by providing an energy store in the form of fat mass. In addition, it is suggested that the phenotypic metabolic and physiological changes observed as the metabolic syndrome, including hypertension and insulin resistance, could result from a winter metabolism which increases thermogenic capacity. Common obesity and the metabolic syndrome may therefore result from an anomalous adaptive winter response. The stimulus for the winter response is proposed to be a fall in vitamin D.

I just started taking it today and I already feel peppy.

This is stupid. Hormones regulate fat storage. The energy in / energy out argument is mute. The real issue is why do people overeat despite it being bad for them? It's down to insulin and it's action of locking up energy in fat cells. People don't get fat because they overeat they overeat because they are getting fat (and losing energy to fat cells). The reason for this? Carbohydrates.
