Vitamin D
« on: November 30, 2011, 09:32:53 AM »
I was wondering how many people have had success breaking open vitamin D capsules and applying it to the p on your skin. Did you skin get better, stay the same or get worse? If you had success how long did the p say away for? Did you get scarring/pigmentation from it?
I know some people have tried this in combination with other things. I would appreciate advice from people who are certain that this helped (or not) the p on their skin.
Thanks.

Hi Dev, I haven't tried it but i'm wondering if it would have any effect besides the oil part which would be moisturizing, but the vit D in the oil is an inactive form of vit D (cholecalciferol), first it has to be converted in the liver to calcidiol, and then it goes to cells in skin and other organs where it converts to the active form (calcitriol). So you migth as well take it orally. But who knows, maybe it works for some reason we don't know, those who have tried it should let us know what happened.

I made my own vitamin D cream/oil by mixing the contents of a capsule with coconut oil or a lotion. I did improve BUT I also resumed taking simvastatin and I think the simvastatin did the trick.
