Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any inhibitors of Vitamin D absorption. since I actually eat a lot of Vitamin D rich foods (Lacto-ovo) and also take a multi vitamin as well, yet my Vitamin D is severely low since having moved from CA to WA . and I am pretty active so get out of the house eveyday just lack the sunshine here! My doctor gave me high dose prescription Vit D for 8 weeks. so I am worried if my toddler is getting enough too? , sahmomof8 wrote: > > Aside, you mentioned that people can get vitamin D from dairy > products, which is true, but it is not naturallly occurring.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Don't forget that full spectrum light bulbs can really help with Vitamin D production. If you're not getting enought natural light, try full spectrum bulbs in your house. As far as foods that inhibit the absorption of Vit. D, some people say that high protein diets can cause depletion of Vit. D and calcium. Here's an interesting link about vegans and Vit. D/calcium. One important point to note is that studies show that D2 (vegan form) stays in your body for a much shorter period of time than D3 (animal derived). So you need to produce or supplement vegan Vit. 3 at least every 3 days. , " mylameoww " <mylameoww wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any inhibitors of > Vitamin D absorption. since I actually eat a lot of Vitamin D rich > foods (Lacto-ovo) and also take a multi vitamin as well, yet my > Vitamin D is severely low since having moved from CA to WA . and I > am pretty active so get out of the house eveyday just lack the > sunshine here!
