http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/24005315 => evidence for Vitamin D
supplementation on IGF1.

If so, could this really complicate calculations of whether or not
Vitamin D is actually good for us?

I just got my blood test results back. My IGF1 is 183, my testosterone
is 680, and my fasting insulin is <2 (Hemoglobin A1C of ~5.0).

I recently switched to veganism in hopes of reducing IGF1, but

apparently it did not do much to it. One other change I made

was that I recently took lots of Vitamin D supplements. Could

this be a possible factor?

Given my BMI of 16, I'm not even sure if further calorie restriction
is possible for me.

Instead of creating all these separate threads of can "fill in the blank" accelerate aging, why not just ask "can life itself accelerate aging"?

I mean it dude. If you create one thread titled "things that accelerate aging" it can be the "go to" thread for that. Just like the skincare forum has certain go to threads. Like the looking younger than ones age thread for all the brats who want to analyze the microscopic features of someones face.

They were testing with 5k-7k. I don't believe it's recommended to take that high of a dose. I take 1k a day so not a worry for me. I think a safe dose is 1-3k a day.
