Vitamin D Thereapy Day 3.....

Hey Everyone...

Day three on this and I get flushed periodically in my face, almost like hot flashes. Little dizzy here and there.

But for the first time in AGES....I woke up early and I was not dragging myself back to bed. And the blurriness in my sight is getting much better.

Any experience with D therapy??? I have had less indigestion too.

I have to do the 50,000 IU once a week for 12 weeks because my level was 8 (well 7.9) and the normal range was 20 to 60. :D

Is it D2 they're giving you? Ergocaliferol? If so... it doesn't work nearly as well as D3.

Vitamins D2 and D3 are generally considered to be equivalent in humans. Nevertheless, physicians commonly report equivocal responses to seemingly large doses of the only high-dose calciferol (vitamin D2) available in the U.S. market.

The relative potencies of vitamins D2 and D3 were evaluated by administering single doses of 50,000 IU of the respective calciferols to 20 healthy male volunteers, following the time course of serum vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) over a period of 28 d and measuring the area under the curve of the rise in 25OHD above baseline.

The two calciferols produced similar rises in serum concentration of the administered vitamin, indicating equivalent absorption. Both produced similar initial rises in serum 25OHD over the first 3 d, but 25OHD continued to rise in the D3-treated subjects, peaking at 14 d, whereas serum 25OHD fell rapidly in the D2-treated subjects and was not different from baseline at 14 d. Area under the curve (AUC) to d 28 was 60.2 ng

It's actually D3......

My new doc condulted with my old doc who runs the center for celiac disease at the University of Chicago.

She specifically said D3...and its the Calci something or another ....

Its really interesting how things seems to me slowly improving minus some odd things liek hot flashes :blink:

Horray! I'm surprised. I didn't think you could get cholecalciferol in doses that high. Well, that'll fix you up!

I was looking over some old tests of mine, my D3 status was in the 20's. Not low enough that anyone would treat but everything I've read said you should be in the 50's.

Well.....now I'm second guessing myself. I'll look at the bottle when I get home.

But I just remember the Calci something word.

But....it seems to be slowly doing what it needs to do.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
