What's the difference between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D when it comes to the VDR?

Описание: Chris Masterjohn, PhD is the Founder and Scientific Director of the mitochondrial test mito.me. Short answer: 25(OH)D is 1000 times weaker at activating the VDR than 1,25(OH)D, but 1000 times more abundant. This is why I advocate measuring both, and ultimately believe we need to create a calculated index of “biological vitamin D activity” from them.

Do You Have Hidden Mitochondrial Dysfunction?

Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of aging and chronic disease—and most people don’t know they have it. Mitome is the first at-home test that measures your cellular energy directly and gives you a personalized roadmap to optimize energy, slow aging, and protect against disease.
