Your interpretation of said articles, is wrong.

The point is simple:

1. Black people are vitamin D DEFICIENT en masse
2. More UVB exposure is needed for blacks to produce endogenous D3.
3. I dont want to start dropping unnecessary credentials on here, but its clear you aren't aware of where you're wrong about this stuff because you haven't the slightest clue of how this works.

I'm starting to think you are bullshytting about what you do, because you linked an article(which I was the first to post on this forum, btw) that clearly states what it means, and you still came up with what you want to see. Quote from the article, that YOU LINKED:

"The 25-hydroxy form is tightly bound to a protein, and as a result, bone cells, immune cells and other tissues that need vitamin D can't take it up. It has to be converted by the kidneys into a form called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.

For Caucasians, blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are a pretty good proxy for how much of the bioavailable vitamin they have. But not for blacks.

That's because blacks have only a quarter to a third as much of the binding protein, Thadhani says. So the blood test for the 25-hydroxy form is misleading. His study finds that because of those lower levels of the protein, blacks still have enough of the bioavailable vitamin, which explains why their bones look strong even though the usual blood tests say they shouldn't.

"The conclusion from this study is that just because your total levels are low, it doesn't mean we need to replace vitamin D" using supplements, Thadhani says. The study was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Again, YOU linked the article:troll:

You trolling, so I'm out:martin:
I see you confused yourself in trying to debate someone who knew what they were talking about.

How could you be so fukking stupid as to think melanin ENABLES more Vitamin D production, i'll never know.

Me and a group of guys experimented with vitamin d for a while and my pseudo experiment leads me to believe the headline is true.

Anytime a sickness started to spread on our site we'd take 10,000 iu of vitamin d. Yeah I know it's a lot. We did it until the virus went away. Usually a week. If it was longer than a week we'd drop to 5,000 Iu. We never got sick.

We had a sick person in our truck for a week and the three of us that weren't sick stayed healthy.

I supplement off and on throughout the year with 1,000 iu's and I feel like It's making a difference.

im vitamin D deficient, people from hotter climates and the Mediterranean are more likely to be vitamin D deficient because it's harder for our bodies to soak it up through the sun because the natural barrier our body has to UV rays

Africans and Greeks are more susceptible to Vitamin D and anemia than any other group, I have both vitamin D deficiency and anemia and it sucks. When my vitamin D level is real low my muscles and bones hurt real bad

If you're taking vitamin D supplements, make sure you are taking D3 and NOT D2. They are not the same.



By Dr. Mercola

Did you know there are two types of vitamin D, and they are NOT interchangeable?

In fact, taking the wrong one could do you more harm than good...

Drisdol is a synthetic form of vitamin D2—made by irradiating fungus and plant matter—and is the form of vitamin D typically prescribed by doctors.

This is not the type produced by your body in response to sun or safe tanning bed exposure, which is vitamin D3.

I just use an all in one vitamin pill + extra vitamin D pill. :yeshrug:

But you won't need much with a balanced diet.:yeshrug:

Rather keep it safe and I feel great either way. :yeshrug:
