A review article shows little or no benefit of supplementing patients with vitamin D3 for bone fractures (T. Gatt, A. Grech, and H. Arshad. The effect of Vitamin D supplementation for bone healing in fracture patients: a systematic review. Adv. Orthopedics Volume 2023, Article ID 6236045). However, the supplement doses of vitamin D3 were either low, 800-2000 IU daily, or quite high loading doses orally or systemically of 100,000 to 300,000 IU. Was their negative assessment justified or were the studies flawed? Would taking a 5000 to 10,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 daily, give significant benefit for healing bone fractures?

You clarified that Vitamin D levels of 40 to 60 ng/mL are important for healthy well-being, but not specifically how important this vitamin is for the recommended Antiviral Regimen to be effective. What is most important for us to know?

A viewer asks: “Is the efficacy of Creator’s antivirals affected by a person’s vitamin D levels? A recent research paper, ‘Vitamin D: A key player in COVID-19 immunity and lessons from the pandemic to combat immune-evasive variants,’ suggests all viral infections are more effectively treated when patients have vitamin D levels between 30-60ng/mL. In 2011, the Endocrine Society urged that: ‘to guarantee sufficiency, we recommend between 40 and 60 ng/mL for both children and adults.'” What can we tell him?

He asks: “Will Creator’s Antiviral Regimen efficacy improve significantly at vitamin D recommended levels of 40 to 60 ng/mL? Should vitamin K2 also be taken to boost absorption of vitamin D?” What can we tell him?

The Endocrine Society updated their guidelines for 2024 to advise against routine vitamin D screening and routine supplementation for certain populations, including non-pregnant adults aged 19 to 74. The Society cited lack of definitive clinical data to support the benefits, and this reverses previous guidelines that recommended supplementation among all age groups. Is this a good policy, and if vitamin D supplementation is truly justified, why is there a lack of conclusive scientific evidence?
