Default Benefits of Vit D3 supplementation???

Could you share your thoughts on the benefits of high doseage supplementation of this vitamin? I began taking it several months ago for general health. Funny thing is, it seems to have a dramatic positive impact on my prostate health. This is a benefit I have read nothing about from any source. Great, but puzzling. Note that I have changed nothing else in my daily supplement regimen. Thanks, in advance for any thoughts you can share.....

Vitamin D reduces the PSA level in prostates which will reduce swelling.
Its also useful in treating prostate cancer. Make sure you take the D3 and not the D2 which is less effective.

Thanks liverock. Yes, I am using the D3 version. Wish I would have known about this benefit years ago...By the way, I recently had my lowest PSA results in years so your info seems to be right on.....

There are tons of posts on Vitamin D3 on this forum. Do a forum search and you will find links to studies, and how people here have used it.

That's pretty phenomenal if you're lucky enough to be one of the 20%.

PSA is nothing more than an indicator of fungal mycotoxins, period.

If you want to lower your reading, go on the phase 1 diet for a month and take some natural antifungals.

Everyone should increase their D3 intake, to at least 4000 I.U. per day just for general good health, and that has nothing to do with prostate issues.

Where is Ted? Me and him already had a discussion about my libido. Had a massively positive effect and has not gone down I'm pleased to say.

I currently switched regimen for a wee while and now take my D3 dissolved in MCT, O3 and Ubiquinol.

Cool Vitamin D3

Another positive benefit of D3 is that it is supposed to help one keep
from getting the Swine Flu. Of course if your already in the Senior Citizen
catagory, you probably don't have to worry about H!N!. LOL!
