VITAMIN D3 RESULTS..

LATS · Jul 15, 2009

i am very skeptical about most supplements.. but, about a month a ago i went to the doc about my bp.. not aweful but, would like to get it better.. i average about 148/75... dia number always good but, syst always high.. he said to try vitamin d3.. now i have read about it here and on the web.. never took the time to get it.. so i go and get some d3 and start with 2000ius a day split over two meals and taken with my omega 3's.. well.. one month later my average is 135/68 ... now.. i have done nothing else.. same diet.. same lazy attitude about everything.. nothing else is different (except a anti e)... i look forward to seeing what happens in another month..

MassiveG has written extensively on this topic... I took his advice because it's something too simple and cost effective not to do. Glad it is working out well for you.

This a very valuable tip. I will check this out myself. Anything that control BP with out prescription meds is a plus.

Currently taking 10,000iu per day right now (6K at night and 4K inthe morning). I haven't been tested though, so can't add anything there.

I was using Carlson's 2,000 gem caps for a long time, but Costco (Kirkland Brand) just started carrying D3 in liquid/capsule form so i've been using that now.

Good to know. Will definitely give it a try too.

thanks

About 2 months ago my BP was in the area of 178/132. I've been making my own caps of hot pepper & caps of cinnamon. I also included omega oil raw garlic coQ10. After a month later BP around 143/106.

Dr put me on a simple weak water pill HCTZ I think. 1 month later BP around 131/94.

I'm gonna look for the D3 gel caps.

Anyone who wants great info on Vit D can go here http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/

you can also go to Dr. Mercola's archives and get lots of great info.

I've been "experimenting" with Vit D over the past year (I've had several labs done--as recently as yesterday actually....I may post up my various labs once I get the newest ones)

a few Vitamin D quotes:

Because vitamin D is so cheap and so clearly reduces all-cause mortality, I can say this with great certainty: Vitamin D represents the single most cost-effective medical intervention in the United States. ~ Dr. Greg Plotnikoff, Medical Director, Penny George Institute for Health and Healing, Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.

I believe [vitamin D] is the number one public health advance in medicine in the last twenty years. ~ Dr. John Whitcomb, Aurora Sinai Medical Center.

Vitamin D is a hormone... powerful, potent, and paleo-to-the-core. Since pre-paleolithic times, Vitamin D has been produced in our skin from the UVB radiation of sunlight. The sun indeed powers nearly all life on earth. It is essential and signals reproduction, energy and longevity for not just humans but all land and marine plants, prokaryotes, and animals. ~ Dr. BG, Pharmacologist.

Vitamin D is, without question, the miracle nutrient of the century. ~ Mike Adams, Consumer Health Advocate.

PRESS.. yeah.. that is why included it after thinking back.. but, i have been on the ant e for a longer period with no drop that i could register until the d3 was added.. but, it could very well have helped in regards to water retention and bringing the numbers down.. so i will just run both..lol

LATS · Jul 16, 2009

i am considering upping the dosage a bit.. considering just 20 minutes of sunlight can produce 10,000 units of d.. then i would not be overdoing it to do 4ooo ius a day.. was using 2000 as a base because of docs recommendation..

GoneForever · Jul 16, 2009

You can get a bottle of liquid D3 which one little drop is 2000iu's and there is like 500drops in the bottle for like $10. Everyone should be on it and taking a good 8000-1000iu daily

hey bro, are those blood pressure numbers while on, cruising, or off all AAS? i might have to try d3. my BP is good now but I am worried about keeping it that way once i start a cycle, im off everything currently.

oh ok sounds like it was more due to the D3. plus i did a quick search and it says it can lower BP. so thanx for the info!

LATS · Jul 16, 2009

well me??. of course i am natural.. but my good friend was using 500 test and 300 deca.. and getting similar results..

thebrick · Jul 16, 2009

Thanks for this info Lats. You know, I remember MassiveG's info on this and I thought it was very interesting. Its a cheap supplement and I am definitely going to give this a try now.

Per Dat's recommendation, I've jumped on hawthorn berry extract as well, saw great improvements in my blood pressure. Food for thought if you wanted to add something as well.

Grape seed extract works fairly well too, but is on the expensive side.
