A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Aaron Hartman, MD explaining why some people take longer to normalize vitamin D levels. He lists multiple biological factors that influence vitamin D status: inflammation, body weight, genetics (including receptor affinity in kidneys), chronic infections, and variants affecting the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and methylation-related genes.

Some people takes a long time to get their D level status, you know? Yeah. And that has to do with inflammation and your body weight and stuff. Genetics. Your genetics. Yeah. And sometimes receptors on your kidneys, if you have high affinity receptors. And sometimes chronic infections that are just churning through your day if you have a VDR receptor, snap, which is a methylation gene, like all those things.
