Homemade vitamin D3 cream/oil

[blueashworth]

dear blueash
for those who dont have time to access this would you or someone be willing to briefly outline how to make this homemade cream
with vaseline and without..
so much easier to read it if yo have really little time??
thank so much

I thought I had in the first post but any way for 2 teaspoons of coconut oil you will need 3 5000 units of Vitamin D3 readily available on ebay.

Mine are by a firm called Bio-Pharm and are capsules containing powder which I pull apart and mix into the coconut oil.

1 teaspoon is roughly 5ml, so you need 10ml per 3 tablets.

I think I will mix up 100ml of coconut oil and put in 30 capsules worth... then I will be good to go

Interesting video. I've always had a hunch that vitamin D had something to do with psoriasis.

I watched the video carefully around 45 minutes and what i could hear Michael Hollick said that his cream had 50 microgram vit D/ gram base and not 15 microgram as you stated in your first post.

Even if it is 15 microgram your formula differs from Michael Hollicks.
3 tables a 5000 IU  gives around 375 microgram d3.
2 spoons of base is around 10 ml.
If 1 ml is around 1g  (density coconut oil is around 0.92) this will give us 37,5 microgram d3 per 1 gram base.
That's a lot more than the 15...

The correct formula is;
1 microgram d3= 40 IU d3
15 microgram d3 =600 IU d3

Recommended use, 15 microgram/ 1 gram base
2 tablespoons=10 ml= 10 g ->
6000 IU d3 (3 tablets a 2000 or 1,2 tablets a 5000 UI) for 2 tablespoons of base.


If the potency is 50 microgram d3/ 1 gram base one will be needing 2000IU d3 per 1 gram base. In other words, for two teaspons (10 ml=10 g) one will use 4 tablets a 5000 UI or 10 tablets a 2000 IU (total req. 20 000 IU).

However i would not recommend to use to much of this cream. If the potency is 50 microgram/1 gram base use maximum one teaspoon a day since, as stated in the video, the upper limit for d3 intake is 10 000 IU per day. If the potency is 15 microgram/1 gram base you could use around 3 tablespoons a day.

Even if i heard fifty in the video i will be starting to use 15 microgram per 1 gram base. Mostly because the risk of getting to much vitamin d3. I will also be using coconut oil as a base so for a 500 gram bottle i will be using 150 tablets á 2000 IU (or  60 tablets á 5000 IU).

I am looking at a tube of Silkis ointment and it has only 3 micrograms of calcitriol per gram of ointment. Maybe that's why Silkis doesn't work that much! I tried it recently and found it even less effective than Dovonex which itself does not work that much for me.

Just listened to the video, Dr Hollick is talking about "calcitriol" (1,25 OH vit D, the active form of vitamin D) and you guys are using vitamin D from capsules, which is cholecalciferol (not the active form). So there is no equivalence.

Thanks for the input - I am the first to admit that chemistry is not a strong point. However I was hopeful that rubbing the homemade cream on would be like sunbathing in that you were applying the vitamin D rather than your skin producing it.

Hi Blueash, and are you getting any results with the cream?

Hi Blueash, and are you getting any results with the cream?

Yes but I have guttate which the doctor said will go in about 12 weeks anyway and I have had it since early July. I also had a bout of it in 2004 but did not know it then. It was only the doctor reading my notes that suggested it I was treated for a fungal infection. He also said I might get a flare whenever my immune system gets a strong challenge.

I decided to give this a try after realising the P on my face was getting really bad. I bought some vitamin d3 in the gel form (oil). 1000iu per capsule.

The ingredients in it are: gelatin (the capsule), glycerin (I guess to hold the d3 better?), and corn oil (for digestion?).

For the past two days, I've been pricking a capsule with a neeedle and apply it to the spots on my face twice a day. Afterwards, I would put some vaseline (petroleum jelly) to cover the oil and make sure my skin absorbs it. Within the first day, I noticed skin was smooth, barely any cracking. Today, I woke up and noticed some spots were breaking up with clear skin in between. It's very small improvement so far, but I'm hoping this really works!
