Vitamin D for heavy bleeding

Hi can anyone tell me if Vitamin D will thin blood too much. I'm afraid to take it since I am dealing with heavy bleeding and blood is very thin. I have incorporate calcium to help the clotting cascade but I'm also aware Vitamin D helps absorp Calcium into blood. My theory is that Vitamin D will help thicken blood if it draws in Calcium. But many articles online say Vitamin D is a blood thinner. Not sure what to think.

 Vitamin D for heavy bleeding
by: Joy

There is a lot of misinformation on the internet today, most by uninformed people, so do be careful where you get your information from.

It sounds to me as though you are inPeri-Menopause with your heavy bleeding and clotting. We recommend a heavy bleeding protocol for this. If not, the protocol will benefit you anyway. You do need to get your heavy bleeding under control

Protocol
400-500mg Natpro Progesterone Cream per day
2000mg N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) per day
2000mg Taurine per day
5000iu's Vitamin D3 per day
1000mg Bioflavanoids or Vitamin C per day

I do not recommend taking calcium at all. Too much free calcium in the blood can result in calcified arteries, heart disease and depression. Vitamin D3 is vital, however cofactors need to be taken. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from the diet. Vitamin K2 directs the body to deposit the calcium in the places where it is needed, such as bones and teeth and NOT in organs, arteries, muscles and soft tissue where it can cause health issues. It is Magnesium's job to keep it where it belongs. Please view the video Death by Calcium.

vitamin D levels should be tested before supplementing. it’s becoming very common to have vitamin d toxicity because everyone is recommending we take it. if your levels are between 45-60, you don’t need it and it can cause more harm then goid if you supplement without labs. i am a functional medicine practitioner and see this a lot

Thanks Joy! What about if one does not consume calcium from diet at all. I don’t do dairy and the only source of calcium would probably be from some dark greens. But even that is scarce. So wouldnt low supplementation be advised?

If you are not getting enough calcium from your diet then supplementation is needed. Although people at risk are encouraged to take calcium, it is imperative to have a hair analysis first to ascertain the level of both calcium and magnesium. More information on this can be found on the Osteoporosis page.

In the meantime, try to eat as much food containing calcium as possible. Consider sauerkraut. Not only does it provide some calcium it is also one of the best probiotics you can find at the same time as healing the gut and helps with inflammation.

Thanks Joy! I wanted to add some context. So I did experiment with some Vitamin D3 and magnesium yesterday while bleeding and felt terrible on them! Then I noticed I bled even more with thinner blood. They weren’t even high doses. 2000iu D3 and 200mg Magnesium. Something wasn’t right and I knew calcium thickens blood. So I quickly drank down a glass of milk and bleeding slowed down. I think the problem is Im so depleted of calcium that I cannot tolerate D3 and magnesium, as they both act to block calcium. I may need to saturate myself with food source calcium before I can even attempt to raise my D3. This is too bad as I know Vitamin D is needed to maintain progesterone. Im basically osteoporosis status but i’m not old. My parathyroid probably needs support. Just sharing to let anyone know that it’s a good place to start if very depleted and imbalanced. I wouldn’t have realized this without the visual confirmation from my bleeding. Thanks all the same.

I am baffled as to why D3 and magnesium have this effect on you.  Do you know what fillers are being used in these?  Perhaps they are also affecting you.  Perhaps D3 drops would suit you better. You tend to react rather quickly to things, amazing.  I wish it was like with progesterone therapy.

Have you considered going to a good Naturopath?

I have been to a naturopath and they couldn't help me. My body is just too broken. I think I may need to heal through progesterone therapy and then consider other supplements after. I think my system is just too inflamed from too much estrogen. You say progesterone therapy is tough and difficult but is that the case for everyone? Are there many women who apply it and then just improve from there? For some reason I suspect my body would welcome it and probably gobble it up and thank me for it since it is most needed.

As mentioned many times on this forum, everyone is different. What suits one may not suit another. It can take anything from 2-6 months before one feels it's benefits. Sometimes longer, it is dependent on one's adverse symptoms.

If you are going to try progesterone please look for a good organic one such as Natpro which is a 3% cream. All information on this website is based on a 3% cream. Please read the How to use Progesterone Cream page and please be aware of Estrogen Dominance symptoms which you may have to deal with in the beginning. You might also like to try Calcium d Glucarate, many women find that it also helps with excess estrogen at the same time as using progesterone. If progesterone is not used correctly you may battle.

A reminder that if deficient in Vitamin D3 it will reduce the benefits of progesterone. I do hope that you can find a solution to your D3 problem.
