Serum Vitamin D Levels and Markers of Severity of Childhood Asthma in Costa Rica. See ScienceDaily. Anecdote: my own asthma has gotten much better since I started Vitamin D supplementation. Not only have I had many fewer bouts of bronchitis the past few years, but my basal respiratory functioning is much improved.

No offense, but after hearing and seeing you on your recent appearance at Bloggingheads.tv, I am not surprised at all that you have asthma.
Anecdotal but factual,my rather serious asthma triggered by pollen has all but vanished having taken vitamin D in much higher than the British recommended dose for the last six months..
Razib, Karwan,
So how many IU's of Vitamin D are each of you taking - care to share??
I am also asthmatic, and take daily multivitamins, which includes vitamin D, but I'm not sure if this is enough??

I began taking Vit D (D3) apx two mths ago. I have found a cinsiderable change in the appearance of evening bouts with asthma.

I have always eaten well, worked-out and taken care of myself. Amazing to think a deficiency in Vit D is what could trigger the asthma.
