sam smith answers:

Stacey, before you begin to take vitamin supplement i believe it would be ideal to ascertain that you are not suffering from female pattern baldness because if that is the case taking vitamins alone would not be sufficient. There are several reasons behind hair loss apart from vitamin deficiency and you can find most of the common reasons at this url : http://www.hairfallguide.com/hair-loss-prevention/causes-of-hair-loss.html

However if you would like to straight away choose vitamins and other nutrients which would help you in preventing hair loss and also aid general hair condition you should have a look at this page http://www.hairfallguide.com/nutritional-suppliment/nutritional-suppliment.html

Jenny asks…

What is the trade off between getting vitamin D from the sun and skin cancer?

Is it best to go without a tan and take supplements for vitamin D? Also, is the statistic for skin cancer skewed by people who are susceptible to cancer i.e. people who consume few anti-oxidants and have a poor diet in general?

sam smith answers:

I recommend that a person become vitD sufficient to a level >50 ng/ml *before* trying to do sun therapy.

The sun is the best source for vitD production BUT if you are vitD deficient (like 97% of people) then the sun can be dangerous. There are the good UVB rays (which creates vitD) & the bad UVA rays (which destroys vitD) – they balance each other so you don’t overdose on vitD. I believe that if you are vitD sufficient, UVA rays won’t hurt you but if you aren’t then they can be harmful.

It’s very hard to get vitD sufficient from the sun because UVB rays are only available part of the year (for most of the world) & only for a couple or so hours a day when available. If you do get UVB rays & then wash or wipe the oils off your body within 48 hours, then you lose the capability of making vitD. Sunlight through window glass blocks UVB rays but not UVA rays which destroys vitD.

Symptoms of acute vitD deficiency can include –

Hair Loss
Weakness, Sadness, Listlessness, Tiredness, Muscle-Pain,
Cramps,
Circulation problems,
Twitching, (Eyelid, Arm, or Legs)
fingernails have small white spots,
Dizzyness,
Headache,
Standing causes back, hip, groin, and/or leg pain.

Vitamin D3 deficiency has become an epidemic, probably because people are washing daily. If you wash skin exposed to the sun within 48 hours, you wash off the oils where the vitamin D production starts. In northern latitudes (above that of Atlanta, Georgia) the sun is at too low an angle for half the year to provide sufficient UV radiation. If even available, UVB rays are only accessible while the sun is directly overhead. Most people need to take vitamin D, especially seniors, as the ability to synthesize vitamin D in the skin declines with age.

With exposure to sunlight in the summer, the body can generate up to 20,000iu of vitamin D per hour with no ill effects. In addition, no adverse effects have been seen with supplemental vitamin D intakes up to 10,000 IU daily.

Vitamin D3 is not a vitamin at all but a necessary hormone that effects the immune system, bones & nearly every aspect of health. Having low Vitamin D levels greatly increases risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, MS & being deficient can create or greatly exacerbate health problems. Many researchers claim that optimized vitamin D levels are more effective than a flu shot in preventing viral infections.

Always take your vitamin D with a fat-containing meal to ensure absorption.

Some prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol – vitamin D2). As warned by the National Institute of Health –

Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over the counter and the upper limits are extremely high. U.S. RDA are much too low. Current recommendations from researchers are for 35iu per pound – a 143# person needs minimum of 5000iu per day (which is for minimal needs and does not replenish depleted stores) & the rda is 600iu.

Research published by Grassroots Health from the D*Action study shows that 97.5% of the adult population needs to take 9,600 IU’s of vitamin D per day in order to elevate their levels above 40ng/ml, which they believe is the absolute minimum for disease prevention. Need 14,100 IU/d to get 97.5% of the population above 50 ng/ml Universal intake of up to 40,000 IU vitamin D per day is unlikely to result in vitamin D toxicity.

I also highly recommend a low carb way of eating for optimal health.

Your vitamin D level should never be below 32 ng/ml, and any levels below 20 ng/ml are considered serious deficiency states, increasing your risk of as many as 16 different cancers and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, just to name a few.

They found that the body does not reliably begin storing cholecalciferol in fat and muscle tissue until 25(OH)D levels get above 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L). That is, at levels below 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L), the body uses up vitamin D as fast as you can make it, or take it, indicating chronic substrate starvation—not a good thing. 25(OH)D levels should be between 50–80 ng/ml (125–200 nmol/L), year-round.

83% of people with low back pain were vitamin D deficient
95% of people with chronic pain had the pain go away with vitamin D

David asks…

What vitamin’s will help my skin look more alive and add some colour?

My face skin is dull, and white. I do weight’s everyday, and I’m going to start running and drinking more water. I use a scrub, and benzoyl peroxide for acne, but my face always looks dull and white, especially in pictures, but it never use to.

Can someone recommend a vitamin to help?

sam smith answers:

Your skin reflects not only the effect of your environment but also what s going on inside of your body. Well balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants is essential for radiant skin that look good and feels good.

VITAMINS
Vitamins C, E, A, K, and B complex can all help improve skin health.

Vitamin C can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure. Vitamin E has been noted to reduce photo damage, wrinkles and improve skin texture. Both help to reduce damage caused by free radicals, a harmful side effects of sun exposure, smoking and such. Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and leafy greens. Vitamin E is in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives, spinach, and asparagus; however most people take supplements as the amount they’re getting from they diet is not suffcient.

Vitamin A plays major role in the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. Without it your skin can feel dry and flaky. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamin A.

The single most important B vitamin is biotin, a nutrient that forms the basis of skin, nail, and hair cells. Without adequate amounts, you may end up with dermatitis (an itchy, scaly skin reaction) or sometimes even hair loss.

MINERALS
Selenium plays a major role in skin cancer prevention.

Copper tgether with vitamin C and the mineral zinc helps to develop elastin which supports skin structure.

Zinc is especially important if you have acne. In fact, sometimes acne itself is a symptom of a zinc deficiency.

Maria asks…

What are possible causes for whole body muscle aches, and tingling in the hands?

For a couple days now I have muscle aches in my arms and legs, along with tingling/slightly numb hands. Dehydration? Vitamin deficiency? Circulation issues? Heart problems? I’m really worried but I don’t want to spend the money at the doctor or miss work if it’s not a huge issue.

sam smith answers:

If your urine is very dark, that is the easiest sign of dehydration which could cause these issues.

97% of people are vitamin D deficient – you may be also. I suggest having vitD levels tested.

Symptoms of acute vitD deficiency can include –

Hair Loss
Weakness, Sadness, Listlessness, Tiredness, Muscle-Pain,
Cramps, Cramps at Night,
Circulation problems,
Twitching, (Eyelid, Arm, or Legs)
fingernails have small white spots,
Dizzyness, Dizziness that disappears when lie down
Headache, Headache – Standing up, Headache – Sport, Headache – disappears, when laying down
Standing causes back, hip, groin, and/or leg pain. Standing for a long time causes pain in legs

83% of people with low back pain were vitamin D deficient
95% of people with chronic pain had the pain go away with vitamin D

My theory is that since vitD is a mucolytic agent, it keeps lymph fluid thin & flowing. When the lymph fluids get thick &the fluids pool around nerves putting pressure on the nerves & triggering pain. Lymph fluids have no “pump” like the heart & works on gravity & movement to flow & fluids drain away relieving pressure on the nerves.

Vitamin D3 deficiency has become an epidemic, probably because people are washing daily. If you wash skin exposed to the sun within 48 hours, you wash off the oils where the vitamin D production starts. In northern latitudes (above that of Atlanta, Georgia) the sun is at too low an angle for half the year to provide sufficient UV radiation.

The biggest thing I can recommend for brain health is a low carb way of eating and sardines (as the highest natural source of the omega 3 DHA with the lowest risk of mercury).
