Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) — living evidence map

The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.

Summary

In a five-year randomized, double-blind trial in 2,686 people aged 65 to 85, oral vitamin D3 (100,000 IU every four months) reduced first fractures at the hip, wrist, forearm or spine by a third compared with placebo. · pmid:12609940

A meta-analysis of randomized trials found vitamin D3 more effective than vitamin D2 at raising serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, especially when given as a bolus. · pmid:22552031

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) yet.

Dose evidence, rung by rung

A studied human dose exists on file. Open the rung: the dose is the paper's, in its context, never PepJunkie's.
