How Vitamin D Deficiency Impacts Thyroid Disorders Part II

September 6, 2013 //  by Dr Hagmeyer

Updated to reflect the most update information on Vitamin D- March 21-2020 by Dr Richard Hagmeyer DC,CFMP

Vitamin D Supplements: Solution, or Not?

There are many causes of vitamin D Deficiency that should be considered when you have levels that come back low on bloodwork- All of these are important to someone suffering with Thyroid disease.

As we discussed in part I of this series on vitamin D deficiency, all this research might make you want to run out and purchase a bottle of Vitamin D supplements, or go to work on your tan. This way, you can ensure that the health of your thyroid is intact, right?

While this type of alternative or natural medicine is a good start, it is not that simple. There are many factors that can affect Vitamin D absorption.

This body of research is only one piece of the puzzle that we might take into account when we are working out a treatment plan for you. There are other, important aspects of this health issue that must be kept in mind as well.

How Vitamin D Deficiency Impacts Thyroid Disorders Part II

11 Factors that Can Affect Your Vitamin D Absorption

A variety of different functions have been shown to affect the way Vitamin D is absorbed by the body.

  1. A leaky gut, which is commonly found in people who have reduced thyroid function,
  2. Weight- Obesity is correlated with low vitamin D levels and that being overweight may affect the bioavailability of vitamin D.
  3. Amount of Fat you eat in your diet- a lack of fat in the diet will cause Vitamin D Deficiency
  4. Gut Health-conditions that affect the gut and digestion, like celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, Crohn’s disease, and cystic fibrosis, can reduce vitamin D absorption.
  5. Aging-older people have lower levels of the substance in the skin that UVB light converts into the vitamin D precursor, and there’s experimental evidence that older people are less efficient vitamin D producers than younger people
  6. inflammation
  7. high levels of cortisol
  8. Many popular medications- statins, antidepressants, acid blockers,
  9. Altitude
  10. Use of Sunscreen
  11. Color of your Skin-dark-skinned people tend to require more UVB exposure than light-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D.

These have all been linked to a reduction how effectively this vitamin being absorbed by the body.
