A new study has found that taking 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day—the amount typically recommended for adults—lowers blood pressure in older adults, especially those who are obese.

Experts caution that exceeding the recommended intake, even below the safe upper limit (UL), does not necessarily translate to additional benefits.

Supplementation Reduced Blood Pressure The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, involved 221 older obese adults who received vitamin D supplements at either 600 IU per day or 3,750 IU per day over one year. Currently, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends a daily intake of 600 IU.

Partcipants’ overall systolic blood pressure decreased by 3.5 mm Hg after one year, and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 2.5 mm Hg after one year.

Those who took higher doses of 3,750 IU daily had a slightly higher decrease of 4.2 mm Hg for systolic blood pressure. In comparison, those who took the lower 600 IU per day generally reported a reduction of 2.8 mm Hg after one year.

The authors concluded that the differences between the high- and low-dose vitamin D groups were not statistically significant.

People with a higher body mass index (BMI) of over 30 saw more significant reductions in blood pressure, especially in the high-dose group. People who took blood pressure medication with their vitamin D also observed substantial decreases in their overall blood pressure.

All participants also received daily supplements that included 1,000 milligrams of calcium. . .

What they're really trying to do with this study is make people afraid of taking more vitamin D. I take at least 10k IU per day (more in the winter or if I feel like I'm coming down with a cold or sore throat). Vitamin D has so many uses in the body and is required by many organs and functions. Don't let the kikes make you afraid of getting vitamin D. For it to be toxic, you'd have to be taking well over 100,000 IUs per day, for many days in a row, which is like worrying about ingesting too much of any vitamins by eating too much salad. Most people are chronically deficient in Vitamin D, and a good excess amount (like 80,000 IU per day) will get health benefits going, and increase the absorption rate of the vitamin D, meaning you can lower the dosage.

Some diseases/parasites/unfriendly microbes that have over grown have the ability to block the receptors of Vitamin D because Vitamin D either directly attacks them or enables the body to keep them in check, so taking an abundance for a while ensures that some of it gets in, restarting the receptors so they can absorb more fight off the shit blocking them.
