> Someone else posted an article about the benefits of Vitamin D recently. Seems kind of amazing. Where do you get Vitamin A from halibut oil? How do you know which or if both are responsible for the clearing of your brain fog?I've tried calcitriol before but got a splitting headache - when combined with fish oil derived vit a, i didn't get a headache - from reading some articles, they say that if our vit d is low, parathyroid hormone rises to break down bone, to keep calcium levels up. When we take vitamin D, calcium absorption is increased, but with the parathyroid still high, we get too much calcium in our brain, and a headache. Vitamin A (from fish because autoimmunity seems to linked with the inability to activate vitamin A - I get mine from metabolics in the UK, but I think it's made by pure encapsulations in the US)....so vitamin A!, it inhibits the parathyroid so less calcium is broken down from bone. vitamin D allows absorption of calcium from the gut and saves bone - the two need to work together, too much or too little of one or the other causes calcium metabolism problems.
