Required Daily Intake of OmegA+D Sufficiency to Provide Sufficiency for Optimal Cellular Function, Health, and Athletic Performance
Balvers et al. (2015) Recommended intakes of vitamin D to optimise health, associated circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, and dosing regimens to treat deficiency: workshop report and overview of current literature. Journal of Nutritional Science; 4:e23. doi: 10.1017/jns.2015.10.
“Although positive effects are observed at >50 nmol/l, we propose to define the optimal range at 75–100 nmol/l; this will allow some buffering capacity so that 25(OH)D levels will not drop below 50 nmol/l in the case of seasonal influences or temporary malabsorption problems.”
*The amount of daily intake of Vitamin D required to achieve sufficient blood and cellular levels is higher than what is required to maintain these levels. This is why we created the 90 Day Starter Package that includes 3 bottles of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ and FREE BOTTLE of D-Sufficiency™ vitamin D drops.
*After the first 90 days of 1 capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ and 2 Drops of Vitamin D Sufficiency™/40lbs/Day you can simply take 1 capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™/40lbs/day.
8-10,000 IU/Day (2000 IU/40lbs = 1 Capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ + 2 Drops of D-Sufficiency™ per 40 pounds) PER DAY FOR THREE MONTHS is Required To Achieve Sufficient Levels Vitamin D for Optimal Athletic Performance, Injury Prevention and Overall Wellness and Prevention.
Veugelers and Ekwaru (2014) A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D. Nutrients 6, 4472-4475; doi:10.3390/nu6104472
“The Institute of Medicine (IOM) issues dietary recommendations on the request of the U.S. and Canadian governments. One of these recommendations is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). The RDA is the nutrient intake considered to be sufficient to meet the requirements of 97.5% of healthy individuals. The RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU per day for individuals 1 to 70 years of age and is assumed to achieve serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of 50 nmol/L [20ng/ml] or more in 97.5% of healthy individuals.”
“The IOM based their RDA for vitamin D on an aggregation of 10 supplementation studies that were carried out during winter months and at locations with latitudes above the 50th parallel north to minimize the influence of cutaneous vitamin D synthesis.”
“On the basis of this, the IOM estimated that 600 IU of vitamin D would achieve an average 25(OH)D level of 63 nmol/L and a lower 95% confidence prediction limit (2.5 percentile) of 56 nmol/L. The latter value was rounded downwards to 50 nmol/L to accommodate uncertainty in the estimation [1]. This data point (600 IU vitamin D, 50 nmol/L) is the basis for the current RDA and for the IOM’s conclusion that an intake of 600 IU of vitamin D per day will achieve serum 25(OH)D levels of 50 nmol/L [20ng/ml] or more in 97.5% of individuals.”
“This conclusion, however, is incorrect.”
“To illustrate [thy the IOM conclusion is incorrect] we estimated how much vitamin D is needed to achieve that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more. For this purpose we reviewed each of the 10 studies used by the IOM.”
“This [review of the 10 studies] revealed that 600 IU of vitamin D per day achieves that 97.5% of individuals will have serum 25(OH)D values above 26.8 nmol/L rather than above 50 nmol/L which is currently assumed.”
“It estimated that 8895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L [20ng/ml] or more. [Recent research indicates that a serum Vitamin D level of 80 nmol/L [32ng/ml] is optimal which is why we recommend taking 2000 IU of Vit D/40lbs/day for the first 90 days – which translates to 1 capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ and 2 Drops of Vitamin D Sufficiency™/40lbs/Day].

“Vitamin D deficiency can negatively affect muscle strength, power, and endurance. Furthermore, low vitamin D levels can increase the occurrence of stress fractures and other musculoskeletal injuries and can affect acute muscle injuries and inflammation following high intensity exercises.”
“Vitamin D deficiency can severely limit athletic performance, but it has been shown that vitamin D supplementation can alleviate this effect and improve performance.”
“Based on the previous findings on recovery, strength and performance, 4,000-5,000 IU of vitamin D per day may be a safe dose that can improve athletic performance [and immune function and overall health].”
Low Vitamin D Levels Significantly Reduce Athletic Performance – Proper Supplementation Amounts (2000 IU/40lbs = 1 Capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ + 2 Drops of D-Sufficiency™ per 40 pounds) for Three Months Required to Become Sufficient
Yoon et al. (2021) Vitamin D in Athletes: Focus on Physical Performance and Musculoskeletal Injuries. Physical Activity and Nutrition 25(2):020-025, https://doi.org/10.20463/ pan. 2021
“Low vitamin D levels have been demonstrated to have negative effects on muscle strength, power, and endurance; increase stress fractures and other musculoskeletal injuries; and affect acute muscle injuries and inflammation following high-intensity exercises.”
“Carswell et al. reported that vitamin D levels were positively correlated with endurance and that lower vitamin D levels could impair endurance. Geiker et al. demonstrated that muscle strength was significantly higher in male swimmers with sufficient serum vitamin D levels. Bauer et al. reported that vitamin D deficiency in handball players may increase their risks of musculoskeletal injuries and infections. Rebolledo et al. stated that National Football League (NFL) players commonly have insufficient levels of vitamin D and that players with a history of lower extremity muscle strain and core muscle injuries are more likely to have vitamin D insufficiency.”
In those with low levels of vitamin D, exposure to sunlight and an improved diet or supplements may be helpful. Particularly, 2000–6000 IU of supplemental vitamin D3 can be consumed daily [depends on body weight 2000 IU/40lbs (18 kg) = 1 Capsule of OmegA+D Sufficiency™ + 2 Drops of D-Sufficiency™ per 40 lbs].

“Because its actions address underlying processes, vitamin D supplementation may take months to facilitate pain relief, which can range from partial to complete.”
