Can 8000 IU And Marine D3 Supplements Be Taken For Vitamin D Deficiency?
Vitamin D defiencey & Marine 3 supplement.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Each Marine 3 supplement.capsule contains 1,000 IU of vitamin D3, Omega-3 fatty acids-300 mg of EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid,) and DHA(docosahexaenoic acid) from calamari oil (Calamarine), and 40 mg of an extract from brown seaweed (Seanol-P®). The extract has anti-oxidant effects and, has been authorized by the FDA for use as a dietary ingredient.
Vitamin D deficiency can be treated by the oral administration of 50,000 IU/week for 6–8 weeks followed by a maintenance dose of 800 IU/d (100 g/d) from food and supplements after achievement of normal plasma levels.A 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D level >20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L is sufficient for good bone health. your figure was 24 about 4 moths ago.Some experts advocate higher serum levels (e.g., >30ng/mL) for other desirable endpoints of vitamin D action.
Risk factors for vitamin D deficiency are old age;for people older than 70 years(you are 68 years), the RDA(recommended daily intake) is set at 20 g/d (800 IU/d).
Hence one capsule of Marine 3 supplement daily is suggested.
If you take Marine 3 supplement one capsule daily ,you have to stop additional Vitamin D 8000 IU daily.
Too much vitamin D (over 4,000 IU per day) may have negative effects.
