jesus christ lol we really do have all possible emotes

hyper meaning in high quantities, calce meaning calcium and mia meaning in blood.

high quantities of calcium in blood

I hate this guy for his dogshit and homophobic take on gay people donating blood

Jesus fucking Christ. I take 5000iu daily for thyroid-related stuff and that's considered a high dose. How much was he fucking taking?

I recall the Mayo report on vitamin d supplement indicated just a bit of the calcium thing starting to be noticeable after 6 months of 60,000 IU. the stuff just really doesn't want to build up in most folks I guess

Thee hundred eighty nanograms per milliliter. Not great; not terrible.

symptoms include full-body skin loss

note that's only a concern for fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). the rest you just piss out

At very high vitamin A levels, symptoms include full-body skin loss, hemorrhaging, coma, and death.

Full-body skin loss

What the fuck... are polar bears just concentrated carrots?

"Thanks Oklahoma!"

Yeah normaly people can adsorb fairly high levels. The long term high D exasperated other issues and a contibuting factor. Not making the post to poo poo on Vit D. Body needs it. Good for health.

A doctor once prescribed vitamin d to me because I was deficient, I took 5,000 IU daily for a few months and felt fine. Wonder how much these people are taking

Why would I go outside into the sunlight when there are so many lotus flowers to eat in my dank filthy dark bedroom

Here at the 45th parallel we definitely need Vitamin D supplements.

But it does feel like November-February is spent living down a hole so that tracks.

Do you live in a place with winter?

Non-white people are a lot worse at synthesizing vitamin D into their body through sunlight. To get enough vitamin D you need 30 minutes outside if white, 2 hours if black.

Winter depression is a thing because you go to work when it's dark, you leave work it's already sunset if you have an office job.

idk if those times even work in the winter when you don't even expose your entire face because it cold.

Hmmm. I'm less convinced of this being a fact.

There have been at least a couple of studies done on surfers in Hawaii who are semi-professional or who report getting at least 15 hours of sun exposure per week (and we're talking a lot of time spent with their entire backs to the Hawaiian sun here too) and these studies have shown a surprising amount of vitamin D deficiency in the subjects.

Most people aren't getting anywhere near that amount of sun exposure and I'd hazard a guess that most people aren't consuming much liver in their diet.

Really depends on where you live. Just read a study by a university at my latitude where we get as little as 10 hrs a day of sun in the dead of winter. Even taking 1000IU's per day, healthy adults were losing vitamin D all winter, and some were falling into low levels by spring when levels naturally rebound. 2000IU's kept levels steady all winter. It's not like it's expensive either, I just bought a bottle for 10 bucks that will last me almost two years.

There definitely needs to be better regulations and clearer packaging on all vitamins and supplements though

When you walk with Jesus

He's gonna save your soul

But you gotta take your vitamins

Way dowwwwwn in the hole!

We don't need vitamin D supplements unless we are living down a hole

Or if you never

We don't need vitamin D supplements unless we are living down a hole

Yeah the biome is typically a frozen wasteland with about 20 minutes of a sun a year

One week at 36 degrees would wipe out most of the UK

guess i need me some vitamin d then
