Vitamin D intake and PSA reduction

I'm not sure if Vit D does reduce PSA. What is definite is that Vit D is given to help protect against bone loss and fractures caused by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) which is a common treatment for PCa. ADT can lead to accelerated bone loss and fractures and also cause a decrease in bone mineral density. Initially, after a weekly dose, I am now continuously on 60K units every month.

It may be that Vitamin D plus Vitamin K help to absorb the calcium into your system. Therefore improving the bone without neccesarily requiring additional calcium intake. Additionally Vitamin D helps the production of T cells which is important to our immuno system. Even though T cells do not normally eliminate cancer cells, recent UK study shows that maintaining a good level of Vitamin D reduces mortality overall, including those with prostate cancer.
