Since then it has been a real area of interest so we thought we would share some interesting information, research and reports on it. First up, a Case Report of two men who consumed approximately 1,700,000IU of Vitamin D3 per day (PDF) for over 7 months!
right-sided flank pain, conjunctivitis, anorexia, fever, chills, increased thirst, and vomiting, weight loss and acute renal failure. The 'normal' range for blood Vit D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]) is 20–80nmol/L, in this case it was 1555-3700nmol/L!! In this instance, the men had been unknowingly using table sugar that was contaminated with super high levels of Vitamin D. For anyone wanting to supplement with Vitamin D, here is a high quality, good value for money product: Buy your Vitamin D3.

You can of course go to your GP and request the test; .uk (If you use this scheme and get your levels tested, please leave a comment below with your results!) This study concluded that Vitamin D "deficiency can result in insulin resistance and diabetes" – Vitamin D Deficiency and Insulin Resistance in Normal and Type 2 Diabetes Subjects
The effect of vitamin D on insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF] – 50,000IU per week for 8 weeks resulted in significant improvements in serum FPG, insulin and HOMA-IR after treatment. Therapeutic implications of vitamin D and calcium in overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome – This study used a daily Vitamin D3 dose of 3533IU in 5 participants and 8533 IU in the other 7 as well as 530mg of Calcium. It found improved androgen (normalizing of testosterone) and blood pressure profiles after 3 months. Vitamin D deficient athletes may be at an increased risk for stress fractures, respiratory infections & muscle injuries- The Effects of Vit D Deficiency in Athletes Improving the vitamin d status of vitamin d deficient adults is associated with improved mitochondrial oxidative function in skeletal muscle – Vitamin D supplementation augments muscle mitochondrial maximal oxidative phosphorylation after exercise in vitamin D-deficient individuals experiencing fatigue.
This is the first demonstrated link between vitamin D and the mitochondria in human skeletal muscle. The effects of Vit D3 supplementation on serum total 25[OH]D concentration and physical performance: a randomised dose–response study – Increasing serum 25[OH]D had no significant effect on any physical performance parameter – 1-RM bench press and leg press and vertical jump height.
