How many international units are in 10 mcg of vitamin d?

How much vitamin D do you need?

You need about 1.25 mg of vitamin D.Ask your doctor, but 2000 I.U. is recommended for anyone with deficiencies or arthritis or difficulty with getting enough sunlight in wintertime. My sister takes even more at the direction of an herb doctor. 2000 I.U. is safe, and in time the recommended daily allowance will be increased closer to this amount, it is very low now. I am a former nurse also...


Which is an anticancer vitamin?

While their could be other vitamins that may help to prevent cancer, there has been a lot of research on the effects of Vitamin D and cancer. Dr. Robert Heaney who has been studying Vitamin D for over 20 years believes that we could prevent up to 75% of breast and colon cancers if people would optimize their Vitamin D blood levels to between 50-80 ng/ml.


When do you need more than 1000 iu of vitamin D?

After discovering that my 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (the proper blood test for vitamin D status) was critically low (23.6 ng/ml), I first experimented with sun bathing 30 minutes every day at noon in Southern California summer -- with no appreciable effect after six weeks. However, I was then exercising and showering immediately afterwards which (no kidding) can "wash out" the cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) formed by the sun's UVB interaction with our skin's 7-dehydrocholesterol. So sun bathing, which was really never an option for me long term, was out. Having researched the need for Vitamin D, I decided to begin supplementing with THIS excellent and economical 5,000 IU Vitamin-D. I waited until receiving my first updated blood test results before writing this review: After 6 weeks of taking TWO of these per day (10,000 IU/day -- so twice the label-recommended dosage) my blood test results from two days ago was 58.9 ng/ml. I plan to drop back down to a single "little drop of sunshine" per day soon. I was only 'double dosing" to get the levels up and to see where they would go. You DEFINITELY don't want to take too much, so follow the label unless you're keeping a close eye on your blood levels, as I am. But rest assured that this is a terrific Vitamin-D.


What does 83 mcgml of cotinine in urine mean?

Cotinine levels <10 ng/mL are considered to be consistent with no active smoking. Values of 10 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL are associated with light smoking or moderate passive exposure, and levels above 300 ng/mL are seen in heavy smokers - more than 20 cigarettes a day. In urine, values between 11 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL may be associated with light smoking or passive exposure, and levels in active smokers typically reach 500 ng/mL or more.


How do you convert nanograms per milliliter to micrograms per deciliter?

1 nanogram (ng) = 0.001 microgram (ug). 1 milliliter (mL) = 0.01 deciliter (dL) (ng / mL) * (ug / ng) * (mL / dL) = ug / dL Therefore, 1 ng / mL = (1 ng / mL) * (0.001 ug / ng) * (mL / 0.01 dL) = 0.1 ug / dL


What does a vitamin d level of 8 mean?

A vitamin D level of 8 ng/mL is considered very low and indicates a deficiency. This deficiency can lead to weakened bones, muscle weakness, and increased risk of fractures. It is important to work with a healthcare provider to develop a plan to raise your vitamin D levels.


How do you convert 7 ug g to ng mL?

To convert from micrograms per gram (ug/g) to nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), you need the density of the substance in grams per milliliter. Once you have the density, you can multiply 7 ug/g by the density to convert to ng/mL because 1 ug = 1000 ng and 1 g = 1 mL.


What is the recommended daily allowance of vitamin d?

That is a complicated question with no one single answer. But a good start is "More than the current government RDI" Many Vitamin D researchers are recommending that adults take a MINIMUM of 2000 IU's per day and are petitioning the government to take action immediately! But the 'Best' answer, is that you should get your Vitamin D levels checked and keep your blood levels within the "Optimum Range" as outlined by several different researchers and studies- with the main consensus being between about 50-80 ng/ml. This blood level seems to be the optimum for good health and has been shown over and over again to have no ill effects.


Can riboflavin cause a false positive for THC?

Yes, Riboflavin contains vitamin B2, as well as hempseed oil, both of which can create false positives, sometimes as high as 650 ng/mL (the cutoff level for most EMIT tests is 50 ng/mL). Furthermore, Ibuprofen and Naproxen are known for causing the same false positives on these tests as well.


What does ng ml stand for?

* This could mean hundreds of things. * NG could mean Nasogastric * ML probably means milliliters * In a hospital setting, NG mL would mean 'amount of Nasogastric fluid in milliliters' It actually means nanograms per milliliter.
