Overall , intervention groups obtained higher 25(OH)D concentration than controls and there was obvious dose – response effect between intake dose and 25(OH)D concentration .
Baseline 25(OH)D concentration and age were significant indicators for 25(OH)D concentration .
Conclusions Regional- and age-specific recommended dosages of VitD supplements for population to achieve optimal 25(OH)D concentrations have been suggested
Background / Objectives Optimal doses of vitamin D ( VitD ) supplement in different population s are unclear .
We aim to evaluate the relationship between VitD supplementation and post-intervention serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [ 25(OH)D ] concentration , to provide a recommended dosage of VitD for achieving an optimal 25(OH)D concentration for different population s .
Hip bone loss is attenuated with 1000 IU but not 400 IU daily vitamin D3: a 1-year double-blind RCT in postmenopausal women.
Few year-long vitamin D supplementation trials exist that match seasonal changes . The aim of this study was to determine whether daily oral vitamin D3 at 400 IU or 1000 IU compared with placebo affects annual bone mineral density ( BMD ) change in postmenopausal women in a 1-year double-blind placebo controlled trial in Scotl and . White women aged 60 to 70 years ( n = 305 ) were r and omized to one of two doses of vitamin D or placebo . All participants started simultaneously in January/February 2009 , attending visits at bimonthly intervals with 265 ( 87 % ) women attending the final visit and an additional visit 1 month after treatment cessation . BMD ( Lunar iDXA ) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D[1,25(OH)2 D ] , N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen [ P1NP ] , C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen [ CTX ] , and fibroblast growth factor-23 [ FGF23 ] were measured by immunoassay at the start and end of treatment . Circulating PTH , serum Ca , and total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [ 25(OH)D ] ( latter by t and em mass spectrometry ) were measured at each visit . Mean BMD loss at the hip was significantly less for the 1000 IU vitamin D group ( 0.05 % ± 1.46 % ) compared with the 400 IU vitamin D or placebo groups ( 0.57 % ± 1.33 % and 0.60 % ± 1.67 % , respectively ) ( p < 0.05 ) . Mean ( ± SD ) baseline 25(OH)D was 33.8 ± 14.6 nmol/L ; comparative 25(OH)D change for the placebo , 400 IU , and 1000 IU vitamin D groups was -4.1 ± 11.5 nmol/L , + 31.6 ± 19.8 nmol/L , and + 42.6 ± 18.9 nmol/L , respectively . Treatment did not change markers of bone metabolism , except for a small reduction in PTH and an increase in serum calcium ( latter with 1000 IU dose only ) . The discordance between the incremental increase in 25(OH)D between the 400 IU and 1000 IU vitamin D and effect on BMD suggests that 25(OH)D may not accurately reflect clinical outcome , nor how much vitamin D is being stored
