VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY MAY BE GENETIC

A report from University of Toronto shows that genetic factors cause some people to develop severe vitamin D deficiency while others do not (Clinical Biochemistry, July 2009). An earlier study showed that some people and mice have abnormal Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) and therefore cannot respond to vitamin D normally (Endocrine Reviews, June 2008). They are at increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, certain cancers, depression, athletic injuries, muscle weakness and so forth.

May explain why some people can jack up their Vitamin D intake and still not get into the range they want. According to the article, the only solution is more sun. No shot or supplement will do it.
