Circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) were measured during short-term and long-term oral treatment with 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD3), 25-H.C.C.) or with vitamin D in over 200 subjects over a period of 5 years. Ten times more vitamin D than 25-OHD3 was required to produce equivalent plasma-25-OHD concentrations. Plasma-25-OHD was a power function of dosage with both compounds. These data indirectly measure the superior therapeutic potency of 25-OHD3, show that dose… CONTINUE READING
