Comparing vitamin D3 forms for low vitamin D
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares different forms of vitamin D3 to find which works best for adults with low vitamin D levels. If you have a vitamin D deficiency and are generally healthy, this trial may help determine the most effective supplement for you.

This trial compares two types of vitamin D—one is plain vitamin D2, the other is vitamin D2 plus a more active form (calcitriol)—to see which works better for children with liver problems and low vitamin D levels.
This study tests how accurately a vitamin D blood test works with fresh versus frozen samples. Your blood samples will help researchers understand the best way to store and measure vitamin D levels.
This trial tests whether starting vitamin D3 soon after ICU admission helps critically ill adults with low vitamin D levels. It may help correct low vitamin D and possibly improve recovery, depending on your health situation.
This trial tests whether giving a high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce death within 28 days for critically ill adults in the ICU who have very low vitamin D levels. It may help by correcting vitamin D deficiency, which the study team thinks could affect outcomes in serious illness.
This trial tests two forms of vitamin D (cholecalciferol and calcifediol) to see which better raises vitamin D levels in people with a deficiency. It may help you if your vitamin D is low, but you don't have osteoporosis or liver/kidney problems.
This trial tests whether vitamin D made from fish waste works as well as lab-made vitamin D for healthy adults with low vitamin D levels. You would take one of the two types for a few weeks to see if your vitamin D levels improve.
