Vitamin D and IGF-1 Levels

Short (this time) article about the above....

Vitamin D increases circulating IGF1 in adults: potential implication for treatment of growth hormone deficiency.

Awesome, Kel. Thanks for posting.

Do they communicate directly with you or something? This is posted just hours ago! lol.

Thanks again, even more reason to supplement the hormone.

interesting to say the least... just one more reason to support vitamin D at "high" levels at best too.

for what its worth, my vitamin D was in the tank but my IGF was pretty decent way back when...

vitamin D seems to be one of the few staple supplements that I can continue to justify.

Ya Know, Vitamine D Sulfate From The Sun (if it is above 50* on the horizon is the best source of vit. d - second, a safe tanning bed, third, vit d3 cholecalciferol) The Guru Of Vitamin D Is Dr. Mercola... You Gotta Get Those U.V.B. Rays - That Is The Way Mother Nature Built Us...

P.S. I Put A Link In, But I Don't Have Enough Posts, So I Couldn't Post It... It Was A Navy Satellite Site, That Tells You The Suns Angle At Your Location...

Loud & Clear, enter the link with spaces in it as you spell it out, that should get you around the spam filter. I would like to check out the link.

Not a fan of tanning beds. Prolonged use and you'll look like an old catcher's mitt.

I'm not a fan of the sun or tanning beds! Vitamin D3 has me in the upper range all while relaxing in doors with the AC :-P

My igf went from 131 to 160 (range 52-328) while my vit d went from 25 to 83 (range 30-100)

I've been taking 10000 iu vit d3 Ed and 50000 iu vit d2 twice a week. Plus got a great tan.
