Did You Know? Vitamin D3 87% More Potent than D2 May 2011 ....Vitamin D3 is 87% more potent at promoting healthy blood levels of
the vitamin than vitamin D2, according to a new study. Besides the
increase in potency, results indicate that vitamin D3 also supports a
two- to three-fold increase in the storage of the vitamin. Scientists
supplemented 33 healthy adults with 50,000 IU of either vitamin D2 or D3
per week for 12 weeks. Results showed that about 17% of the D3 ingested
was stored by the subjects, and the rest was consumed or metabolized.
"This is a daily utilization rate of about 6,500 IU at a concentration
of 50 ng/mL at the end of treatment," wrote the researchers. Optimal
levels of vitamin D are considered to be between 50-80 ng/mL.
