I am convinced that one of the reasons that I don’t need an Ai at 300mg a week of Test is because I ” set myself up” for it..
It’s not just a case of bang it in a see how you go..
” Fuck Victor not Micronutrients again ? haha
Cant you just let me eat my chicken and brocolli and rice in peace haha “
Ah yep ! Vitamin D this time
Wait you’re telling me that Vitamin D downregulates aromatase expression ?
ah well you can add that to the loooooong list of things it does sure
Vitamin D Dosage Recommendations here
How much Vitamin D3 do you need ?
In an ideal World you should simply get your Vitamin D3 levels tested when you do your Blood tests.. you are looking for 40ng/ml
But since most people will not have their blood tested unless their doctor recommends it. a “recommend” dosage makes sense.. as the place to start
I recommend 5000 IU a day
5000 IU will get at least 97{2658607c068490114260e14c260e6ae174f4b10b752c604f4a58b348bf83bb16} of people above 30 ng/ml.
Will get most people above 40 ng/ml, and close to around 50 ng/ml.
Will not cause anyone to get toxic levels.
For those who want a more careful calculation, 70-80 IU/day/kg of body weight total input is needed to obtain a 25(OH)D of 40 ng/ml.
That works out to about 35 IU/day/pound. So a 100 pound woman would need 3,500 IU/day of total input but a 300 pound lineman would need 10,500 IU/day. Keep in mind this is total input, which includes sunlight, diet and supplements.
Taking all these factors into account, we can conclude a recommendation of 5,000 IU/day is about right for the average adult.
