Anthony Norman, a distinguished professor emeritus of biochemistry and of biomedical sciences at UC Riverside, is co-leading the UC group along with Cedric Garland, an adjunct professor of family and preventive medicine at UC San Diego, in its \u201ccall to action\u201d recommending that the daily intake of vitamin D for adults be revised by the government to 2000 international units (IU). Currently, the recommended daily intake of vitamin D is 200 IU for people up to 50 years old; 400 IU for people 51 to 70 years old; and 600 IU for people over 70 years old. \u201cThe consensus among UC scientists who signed this statement is that 2000 IU per day of vitamin D3, a form of vitamin D, is the appropriate intake for most adult Americans,\u201d said Norman, an international expert on vitamin D. \u201cThis intake is the National Academy of Sciences\/Institute of Medicine\u2019s upper limit for daily intake, and is 400 IU less than the National Academy of Sciences\/Institute of Medicine\u2019s \u2018no adverse health effect\u2019 level. Scientific concerns about this level of intake are minimal, based on the findings of the National Academy of Sciences.\u201d Norman explained that a 2,000 IU daily intake of vitamin D can be achieved by a combination of sunshine, food, supplements, and possibly even limited tanning exposure. \u201cWhile more research on this topic is highly desirable, it should not delay recommending a 2,000 IU daily intake of vitamin D for most people,\u201d he said. In its call to action, the group of 18 UC scientists, which includes researchers from the Riverside (3), Davis (3), Los Angeles (4), San Diego (5) and San Francisco (3) campuses, also issued a joint statement in support of the use of vitamin D for reducing incidence of several types of cancer, type 1 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. \u201cOur consensus on vitamin D is intended to support public health action,\u201d said Norman, who spoke for the group. \u201cThe amount of research that is currently available provides us enough information to release such a consensus at this time. The group of UC scientists is happy to endorse and support the advocacy organization, GrassrootsHealth in its newly launched \u2018D*action\u2019 Community Project. Its goals are coincident with the goals of the group of UC vitamin D researchers, namely, building awareness of the vitamin D deficiency problem and providing vitamin D testing as well as outcome evaluation of the results.\u201d On Dec. 2, Norman will participate in a seminar for health care professionals \u2014 \u201cDiagnosis and Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency\u201d \u2013 being hosted by GrassrootsHealth at UC San Diego. Experts in cardiology, cancer, diabetes, bone and muscle health are scheduled to speak at the seminar. \u201cContinuing medical education credit is available to doctors and other professionals who participate in the seminar,\u201d said Carole Baggerly, director of GrassrootsHealth.  Because vitamin D is found in very few foods naturally, milk and other foods (often orange juice) are fortified with it. The fortification levels aim at about 400 IU per day. The vitamin is found in many dietary sources such as fish, eggs and cod liver oil, with the amounts per serving being generally about 400 IU. Exposure to the sun is a natural way of producing vitamin D in the body. But due to growing concerns about skin cancer and various lifestyle choices \u2014 spending time mostly indoors, wearing clothes that leave little skin exposed to sunlight, and living in high-latitude areas, especially in winters \u2014 people are not getting enough of the vitamin. Norman stressed that several studies have reported substantial reductions in incidence of breast cancer, colon cancer and type 1 diabetes in association with adequate intake of vitamin D, the positive effect generally occurring within five years of initiation of adequate vitamin D intake. He has been researching vitamin D for more than 45 years. In 1967, his laboratory discovered that the vitamin is converted into a steroid hormone by the body. Two years later, his laboratory discovered the vitamin D receptor (or VDR) \u2014 an essential receptor in more than 36 target organs of the body that respond biologically to the vitamin.
