Cardiovascular disease and D3 deficiency.
This is the first careful review of Framingham data that looked at blood levels of Vitamin D3 and cardiometabolic disease. It was noted that important covariates included obesity, minimal exercise and blood pressure. Vitamin D deficiency and risk of cardiovascular disease.

41% were taking a standard multivitamin. This is one of many studies indicating a link between Vitamin D3 deficiency and myocardial infarction, stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, and death. Trials are planned with forms of vitamin D and vitamin D analogues to determine the roles, if any, these micronutrients play in Cardiometabolic Disease prevention.

Thank you for the information here... being informed is excellent yet there was not any information regarding doses for minimal/ maximum usage ! is that a liability for you or can you give some suggestions ?
warm regards,

I am a 68 year old Type 1 on a MiniMed pump. I do not currently take any Vitamin D as part of my meds.I do take a Centrum Silver equivalent multi-vitamin daily. Given what you've told us, is there a different multi-vitamin that would incorporate a sufficient amount of D?
NO MULTIVITAMIN CARRIES ENOUGH.
