Vitamin D320 mcg is equivalent to 800 units. Vitamin D3and D2are both effective for vitamin D repletion, depending on the dosing regimen; however, D3is more potent. Acute respiratory infections (cold, flu, chest infections):In an individual patient data meta-analysis evaluating potential of vi...
I have seen evidence that humans prefer D3 over D2, in that, if both 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 are present in serum, over time the 25(OH)D3 falls faster than the 25(OH)D2, suggesting the body preferentially uses 25(OH)D3, if it is available. For any scientist readers, this w...

Vitamin-D2 (D2) treatment has been associated with a decrease in 25-hydroxy (25(OH)) vitamin-D3 (D3) level, suggesting that D3 treatment would be preferred to raise total 25(OH) vitamin-D (D) level. We postulated that D2 treatment-associated decrease in 25(OH)D3 level is related...

Optimal levels of Vitamin D3, {25(OH)D} are 50-100 ng/ml and toxicity is rare Because it is derived from cholesterol it can be stored in adipose (fat cells) tissue therefore dosing should take weight/BMI into account Studies in Hawaii showed that 1/3 of the population did not generate...
