The Pharmacokinetics of a Single Large Dose of Vitamin D3 — Stoss  

Vitamin D Deficiency Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Pharmacokinetics of a Single Large Dose of Vitamin D3

Clinical Trial Summary

When people eat a meal, some, but not all of the calcium in that meal is absorbed, that is, moved into the bloodstream. When the skin is exposed to sunlight during summer months, Vitamin D is made there and then modified into more active forms by the liver and kidneys. These more active forms of Vitamin D improve calcium absorption. Many adults living in the U.S. have little or no sun exposure and are low in Vitamin D. A single dose of 100,000 IU of Vitamin D3 has been used both as empiric treatment for Vitamin D deficiency as well as in controlled trials without risk of raising blood calcium to dangerous levels.This study is to determine the serum levels of Vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (vitamin D after it has been modified by the liver) that can be expected when Vitamin D3 is given as a single oral dose of 100,000 IU.

Clinical Trial Description

The group receiving the supplement will be scheduled for short visits to our research center at baseline and days 1,3,5,7 and then weekly for 3 weeks and then every other week for 6 visits (total 14 visits in 4 months). The group not receiving supplement will be scheduled for short visits at baseline and in 4 months. At the beginning of the study we will measure your height, weight, skin color, and draw blood to measure your blood levels of Vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone. At each visit we will draw blood to measure your blood levels of Vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D. There will be fourteen blood draws for a total of 280 cc of blood drawn (about 4 teaspoons drawn each time) in the supplemented group. There will be 2 blood draws in the group not receiving supplements for a total of 60 cc of blood drawn (about 4 teaspoons drawn each time). ;
