Thank you for the link to topic mental health and food as I was curious how the the guy I was replying to was doing now but he hasn’t answered.
Indeed you can hardly go to high on vitamine D3. I just wanted to re-assure the person asking. He was afraid he would NOT get enough. But it’s hard to get it by food and supplements alone. Still malabsorption is a problem for some people. And you need other vitamins to absorb others.
I’m satisfied with what’s in JJ food. And some extra in tablets to make sure. My levels were always very very low. So I got supplemented by the general practioner. For a few years everbody got those from the doctor in 800 i.e. which is roughly 20 mcg?? It was cholecalciferol like you mentioned is used in JJ products.
Yet still an few years later I had such low vitamin D levels after consuming it in the products at the same time the doctors supplemented the general polupulation that a specialist in a hospital gave me a 8 week course with like 200.000 i.e. so that must be very high in mcg. One capsule weekly. That’s 4 times the recommended dose. Only thing that happened was massive side-effects. And they even didn’t follow up on the bloodlevels. So I still know nothing about my own malabsorption and the reason behind it. I was getting Plenny😉 at the time as in Plenny drinks as well as medically supplemented.
Everything in my body is out of wack. Maybe it’s due to brainstem injuries I suffered. Especially because they weren’t recognized at the times they happened. It leaves me with a lot of anger and grief for loss of who I was so that’s why I’m depressed.
Been depressed before but without the physical limitations and cognitive problems I have now.
Way back in time I used vitamine D in dosis but more importantly FISH OIL in a specific division between EPA/DHA against depression and there are a lot of studies on Pub.med to find on it.
As was mentioned in the article on the guy who did 1 year Plenny to replace all his meals: his vitamine D levels were “too high” at the end? I doubt that. Every labatory has its’ own values for what’s in the normal range. He could have been just out of that box but still but it does not really say much. If you need to be between 50 - 150 and say he had 165?? That’s not too high. A beach holiday near the equator can cause that or higher.
And the WHO??
They recommend different things every few years. And you cannot compare the whole world population. Their advice for Northern countries might still be on the low side.
People living in tropical areas have bloodlevels due to sun exposure equivalent as if you take 250 mcg a day studies showed. And the is a strong link to prevalence of auto-immune diseases compared to Northern Europe. Regardless if you are born there or living there. Some auto-immune diseases just hardly exist in these sunny area’s.
People who worry if something is too much or too little should really start investigating and take there own circomstances into consideration.
F.e.: Viamine C is harmless they say. And 4 grams a day (4000 mg) helps fine for women with UTI’s (when needed for some time). But they also tried this dose to prevent cancers. Well in a 10-year study this wasn’t so good for men who smoked… there was more lung cancer than in the lower dose or placebo group.
So: everything in moderation and hope you don’t get hit by a car, or get a brain injury ir heart attack out of the blue. Because that shit happens and then you go in a hyperfocus and rant on and on and on like I do and then spend 5 days in a dark room with no energy to comunicate.
And don’t think WHO is the wholey grail, neither are your local FDA or ECDC who approve medicins and such. They are not to be trusted. Scandals enough in the last decades to prove that.
