Vitamins... A and D3...interactions...

[Kaizen]

As a side note it looks like it’s a much, much higher ratio of Vitamin A to 25(OH)D3 in the livers of these chameleons in the Hoby study

Sooooo..........

Yup, just a wild guess that doesn’t kill our chams (usually), so everybody runs with it.

I’ll be honest. I’ve been waiting to complain about that one

I’ll keep digging too. I’m sure I’ve heard/seen it elsewhere

You don’t need to comb the literature, just google images of the major supplement brands. They all abide by the golden ratio.

I’m in my cups right now, so I’ll have to listen later, but it seems to me some of this magic ratio is discussed in this podcast episode

Sites that mention the 100:10:1 ratio...which one came first...or from a study?
"The generally recognized ratio of Vitamin A (as retinol), Vitamin D & Vitamin E is 10:1:0.1"...

"The accepted ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D3 is 10:1 and so that is the reason why most supplements have this ratio"...

I'm going to be adding to this thread more...but not to this post now. I'm afraid my edit time will run out.

Let me see if I can figure it out. I probably have access through my university’s subscription
Just started reading it. I think it’s probably pretty good

Is it about bone health?

No luck...it didn't work.

The link in post #26 says the link has timed out when I try to go to it.
