Journal ArticleDOI

Jodie M. Burton,Samantha M. Kimball,Reinhold Vieth,Amit Bar-Or,H-M Dosch,Roy K. Cheung,Donald Gagne,Cheryl A. D'Souza,Melanie R. Ursell,Paul O'Connor +9 more
TL;DR: This trial provides Class II evidence that high-dose vitamin D use for 52 weeks in patients with multiple sclerosis does not significantly increase serum calcium levels when compared to patients not on high- doses, with evidence of immunomodulatory effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety of vitamin D3 in adults with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: Patients' serum 25(OH)D concentrations reached twice the top of the physiologic range without eliciting hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria, providing objective evidence that vitamin D intake beyond the current upper limit is safe by a large margin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized comparison of the effects of the vitamin D 3 adequate intake versus 100 mcg (4000 IU) per day on biochemical responses and the wellbeing of patients
TL;DR: The highest AI for vitamin D brought summertime 25(OH)D to >40 nmol/L, lowered PTH, and its use was associated with improved wellbeing, confirming the safety and efficacy of both 15 and 100 mcg/day vitamin D3 in patients who needed additional vitamin D.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ratio of serum 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is predictive of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 response to vitamin D3 supplementation

TL;DR: The 24,25:25VD(3) ratio may have clinical utility as a marker for VD (3) catabolism and a predictor of serum 25VD( 3) response to VD(2) supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short- and long-term safety of weekly high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation in school children.

TL;DR: Vitamin D(3) at doses equivalent to 2000 IU/d for 1 yr is safe in adolescents and results in desirable vitamin D levels.
