Hello dear all,
I have recentely taken a vitamin d test, it gaves me 2 ng/l. I have taken many kind of vitamin d supplements the years before but they had no effect. Are there any researches about this issue, especially the relation between the level of heavy menirals in blood and the vitamin d defeciency.
Thank you
Vitamin D may effect heavy mineral absorption as suggested by colleague Tranchant, but than only in case of sufficiency. I have never read anything about D deficiency and increased Calcium or heavy metal absorbtion.
By the way 2 ng / L is extremely low, you must be in a bad condition concerning vit D. Or do you mean 2 ng / ml ?
Thank you dear Jos P M Wielders for the reply. Unfortunately, it is 2 ng / L, I have serious problems with my health. I want to know what are the causes of the non absorption of vitamin D, because I live in a sunny region and we have a lot of food containing D.
Thank you dear Carole C Tranchant. I have just read the abstract of the article. There is an important sentence "Reciprocally, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and strontium interfere with normal vitamin D metabolism by blocking renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D". Probably this is the answer for my question
Vitamin D of 2 ng/L would mean about 0.005 nmol/l which is hard to believe. What D containing food do you mean? Only in fatty fish or sunexposed mushrooms you will find a high vitamin D content.
Vitamin D deficiency is most often caused by insufficient sun exposition sometimes in combination with low calcium intake. However there is also a number of genetic causes for unexplained low vitamin D.
Concerning heavy metal interference, is there at presence any evidence for heavy metal intoxication?
I think that my exposition to sun is enough and also I take fatty fish 3 times / week. I want just to know what are the analysis to take in order to know the causes of this deficiency?
I feel there is a relationship. Vitamin D is one of the minerals whcih we need for various metabolic purposes.
If its not directly related with other minerals/vitamins directly, i feel there is a relationship between them
Regards
I have TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone ) = 1.54 mUI/L. For the calcium, I did not had this analysis yet.
Vitamin D works depends on the amount of other vitamins and minerals that are present in body. The other vitamins and minerals needed to help vitamin D work well are called cofactors.
To get the most benefit from vitamin D, you must have other cofactors in your body. Vitamin D has a number of cofactors; Magnesium, Vitamin K, Zinc, Boron, Vitamin A.
Intake of vitamin D in the absence of mineral sufficiency may result in facilitation of toxic element absorption with potential adverse clinical outcomes.

Yes there is a relationship. i am attaching a table which depicts the association of vit D with other minerals like zinc, selenium, calcium, magnesium and lead.
Hope this helps
