About this document

High Dose Vitamin D for Sickle Cell Disease by Mathilde Carreau Gaschereau is a document available to read on EtoBox.

High-dose vitamin D supplementation (4,000 to 7,000 IU/day) is deemed safe and effective for African American children and young adults with sickle cell disease, ensuring they maintain adequate vitamin D levels. Research indicates that optimal serum 25(OH)D levels may require doses higher than 7,000 IU/day. Studies also show that daily intakes up to 60,000 IU are tolerated without adverse effects, suggesting a need for reevaluation of current vitamin D intake recommendations.
