Evaluation of Ergocalciferol or Cholecalciferol Dosing, 1,600 IU Daily or 50,000 IU Monthly in Older Adults

Abstract: Overall, D(3) is slightly, but significantly, more effective than D(2) to increase serum 25(OH)D. One year of D(2) or D(3) dosing (1,600 IU daily or 50,000 IU monthly) does not produce toxicity, and 25(OH)D levels of less than 30 ng/ml persist in approximately 20% of individuals. Substantial between-individual response to administered vitamin D(2) or D(3) is observed.

“…Ergocalciferol or vitamin D 2 can also be used as a supplement, however the studies show that, as its halflife is a little shorter than the one of D 3 , it should be used preferentially daily (83). Be sides that, some laboratory methods that test 25(OH) D recog nize only 25(OH)D 3 , what can bring problems for the control of plasma levels when vitamin D 2 is used for supplementation.…”

“…On the other hand, literature data indicate that vitamin D3 is more effective in increasing 25(OH) VitD levels than vitamin D2. [127][128][129][130] Clearly, the optimal level of vitamin D in female fertility and the type of supplements required for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency are two significant issues which merit further research and need to be addressed.…”

“…The 25(OH)D3 response to vitamin D supplementation varies markedly between individuals, and a significant proportion of patients may have persistent suboptimal levels despite supplementation [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Furthermore, the relationship between circulating 25(OH)D3 concentrations and clinical outcomes such as osteoporosis and fracture risk may differ between racial groups, raising the question of whether 25(OH)D3 provides a reliable estimate of vitamin D status in all populations [18,19].…”
