Is there a way to supplement with alpha hydroxylase? #vitamind #lustig #shorts #doctor #vitamin
Short YouTube clip where Dr. Ron Najafi asks about supplementing the alpha-hydroxylase step in vitamin D activation. The respondent explains that there are prescription medicines (not supplements) that are already hydroxylated—specifically 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol)—which doctors can prescribe; calcitriol is used to bypass the alpha-hydroxylase step in patients with hypoparathyroidism to maintain serum calcium.
Questions this video answers
Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D).
Hypoparathyroidism (to maintain serum calcium when PTH is absent).
