yes as i said in another post why take excessive amounts by capsule adminster it by light = this is the safest & most efficient aand leat expensive i.e win win

[wexfordfox]

Only subjects with a D level >100ng/dl showed a higher risk. This is a very high level. AFAIA you'd have to be ingesting large quantities of D i.e. more than 10,000 units daily to reach that level or have some genetic issue.

that atrial fib study was in ng/dl...not the normal ng/ml for vitamin D

something is wacky about those numbers by 100

100ng/dl=1ng/ml

it mentions that the AF group were very few and had levels above the 100ng/dl (normally ng/mL or nmol/L)...  almost unheard of in a normal healthy population
Israeli lifeguards average about 100ng/mL, but not in deciliters ..somethings fishy

I agree bj, very weird as 100 ng/dl is as you say 1ng/ml, which is ridiculously low for a vitamin D serum level. Maybe this was a misprint or mistake and they actually meant above 100ng/ml which would make more sense.

on daily meds due to AF was not aware re Vit D link with AF have been on Vit D 800iu on and off for a while Vit D levels are normal

had cardio version 4 times eternally  3 x internally  but didn't work

another study from the same outfit...average D level in 9000 patients was 19ng/mL

so take your D ...getting over 100ng/mL is near impossible in the uk
