RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE

25OHD level of 20ng/ml is enough (UL 50ng/ml) 600 IU/qd is enough (800 IU qd for >71yo) (UL 4000IU qd) Calcium intake during puberty: 1300 mg qd (UL 3000 mg qd) Calcium intake ages 19-50: 1000mg qd (UL 2500 mg qd) Calcium intake ages 51-70 males: 1000mg qd (UL 2000 mg qd) Calcium intake ages 51-70 females: 1200mg qd (UL 2000 mg qd) Calcium intake ages >70: 1200mg qd (UL 2000 mg qd)

But Controversy Reigns

The Endocrine Society Guidelines

25OHD level of 30ng/ml 1500-2000IU Vitamin D qd Calcium recommendations comparable to IOM

  • Associations do not prove causality
  • We do not know the optimal dose of vitamin

D and calcium or the optimal level of 25OHD for most diseases for which it is used

  • Too much of a good thing may be a bad thing
  • We need RCTs of sufficient power and

duration to answer these questions

Much of our data comes from epidemiologic studies

What About Vitamin D?

THE BIKLE APPROACH TO THE LITERATURE ON VITAMIN D THERAPY

  • Rule 1: Someone somewhere has found an

association between low vitamin D levels and every disease: clinical potential may be limitless

  • Rule 2: If someone finds a disease with no

association to low vitamin D levels, see rule 1

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY WITH AGING

  • Decreased vitamin D production in the skin
  • Decreased vitamin D intake in the diet
  • Decreased vitamin D absorption by intestine
  • Decreased 1,25D production by the kidney
  • Decreased intestinal response to 1,25D

SUMMARY

  • Vitamin D and calcium deficiency is detrimental

to health

  • The optimal levels of vitamin D intake and

25OHD levels in blood are not established with certainty and may vary with calcium intake and disease process.

  • Megadoses of vitamin D are NOT indicated and

may be detrimental

  • Calcium has an important synergistic role with

vitamin D in maintaining health—calcium does not increase the risk of CVD or death

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • 800-2000 IU vitamin D per day is safe and

generally sufficient to achieve a serum level of 25OHD around 30ng/ml. Higher levels have not been proven to be better

  • Rule of thumb: For repletion, supplement with

100IU vitamin D for each 1ng/ml increment of 25OHD desired

  • 800-1200mg calcium per day in adults should

suffice to maintain balance in most individuals without malabsorption—urine calcium provides a good guide with a goal around 150mg/24hr
