Injectable Vitamin D3

[BigMatt]

Does it exist?

I try to find it...

I wonder if they make a Pharmaceutical Grade of Vitamin D3.

yes they do but there is no need to use it unless you are in renal failure..

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stages 3-5 experience decreased calcitriol (1,25 (OH2)[D.sub.3]) levels when the kidney can no longer convert Vitamin D to its active form (Parker, 1998). Although most often associated with suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH), Vitamin D performs a multitude of other body functions; among them, suppression of renin expression, modulation of the immune and inflammatory system, and promotion of vascular endothelial health (Teng et al., 2005).



Pharmaceutical Vitamin D analogues are available in oral form--Rocaltrol (calcitriol) (Roche; Nutley, NJ), Hectorol (doxercalciferol) (Genzyme Corporation, Cambridge, MA), or Zemplar[TM] (paricalcitol) (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL)

Injectable form--Hectorol, (Genzyme Corporation, Cambridge, MA), Calcijex[R], and Zemplar[TM] (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL). Of note is that oral paricalcitol (Zemplar[TM]) does not carry an indication for patients with CKD Stage 5. Although the price for injectable vitamin D is higher than that of oral products, clinicians prefer it for patients on hemodialysis for several reasons.

1. Intravenous (IV) Vitamin D is perceived as having superior efficacy and fewer side effects than oral preparations.

2. Administering Vitamin D IV while patients are on hemodialysis is convenient for patients and providers and the exact dosage received is quantifiable (Nephrology Pharmacy Associates, 2000).

Why not just use the oral liquid version?

Why not just use the oral liquid version?

I guess people think injectable is better for some mythological reason....like mentioned above no kidney problems and D3 oil caps do the job incredibly well with out burning the skin... LOL

I hear so many good things about Dr. Serrano. I talked to him on the phone after my heart attack and was going to go see him, but didnt go through with it because I couldnt really afford to pay everything out of pocket.

d3 is something near and dear to me because i suffered some pretty severe illness due to what was finally found to be a severe d3 deficiency. Had i not talked to a functional medicince practitioner i would have never known this. I have a 25 ohd test (d3 level) every 3 months, for some reasonmy body metabolizes it extremely fast. In order to stay in optimal range i have to take 5000iu per day in the summer and 10000iu per day in the winter. Most would never need that much, that is why it is important to have the blood test and follow ups. Even wiht this severe of a problem oral d3 has worked fine for me.

Serrano sets up my protocols based on my reading. Right now it is one a day for 7 days, then 1 week for 8 weeks, after this we r going to do another test and adjust accordingly.
