New Study Shows Dogs with Low Vitamin D Are At Risk For Cancer DogsNaturally
Some other factors that are known to decrease the ability to convert dietary vitamin D to 25-VitD:
- Polyunsaturated fats can decrease the bioavailability of vitamin D
- Fluoride (which is present in many pet foods and water supplies)
decreases magnesium, which is an essential cofactor for vitamin D - Strong magnetic fields can reduce vitamin D levels
- PCBs increase the risk of deficiency by 3%
- Roundup (glyphosate, which is present in foods and the environment) decreases vitamin D
- Flame retardants (which are 10 times higher in dogs than humans) inactivate vitamin D
- Low magnesium in foods
- Spay/Neuter (spayed females have 10% less 25VitD than intact females and neutered males have 30% less than intact males)
- Kidney disease (prevents the conversion of 25VitD to the usable form of vitamin D)
- Exposure to DDT and other pesticides
- Certain drugs (as well as St Johns wort and mineral oil) can consume or block vitamin D
