Mussel Intake and Vitamin D Status in Humans (Mussel)

  • “Recently, we have found that certain shellfish, especially mussels, contain significant amounts of 25(OH)D3, ranging from 0.7 to 9.9 µg/100 g wet weight
  • . . .” this metabolite is considered 5 times more effective in raising serum 25(OH)D3 levels in humans”
  • “Taking account of this potency factor, mussels could provide up to 50u of vitamin D per 100g”


Wonder if Clams and Oysters also have the Calcidiol form of Vitamin D
