One of the main reasons for high levels of Vit D supplementation is autoimmune disease where the steroidal effects are desired to reduce inflammation. Any additional information in this area is appreciated.
Same here! One year on 5000IU, but last three years on 12-15000 IU per day!! No adverts, no PTH disbalance, no calcifications, no yonised calcium in blood stream, NO ASTHMA, NO HASHIMOTO, NO BOWL PROBLEMS, NO GUT PROBLEMS, NO DEPRESION, NO CANDIDA IN MY LUNGS,( JUST FOUR TIMES ALMOST ASYMTOMATIC COVID 19😊) EXELENT BLOOD RESULTS, EXELENT CARDIOVASCULAR WAYS...BTW i take NAC, Selenium, Zinc, K2 and (Melatonin sometime) My blood levels now are 106ng/ml! Why your explanation is not enough credibile..Sorry but Farmaceutical autorites won't to make Random studies and large investigations about HIS MAJESTY-amazing Vit D-3 Sorry about my poorly English and grretings from Macedonia🇲🇰❤️🥂
The latest dosing is 100mcg K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. I'm currently at 2400mcg of K2-MK7 and 5000i.u of D3. I'm also the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol. For a nice 30% reversal of my CAC Score.
Last year I had a natural sunshine tan, but my Vitamin D lab report was low. I was also taking Vitamin K2 (mk7 & 4). I now know the other cofactors of potassium & magnesium were most likely the problem. Thanks for shining a light on this, it should help many others.
The "Blue Zone" groups of people who typically live healthily into their 90s and 100s live out in the sun working, and have diets high in potassium and magnesium. The body has adapted to this over the ages.
Well the thing here is. Did you use sunscreen and how strong if you did? What type of sling do you have, as the darker the skin the harder it is to make but d (malanin make it harder to make but d). What is you cholesterol levels? If you are on statins or some other cholesterol lowering meds, this will also affect your production.
All I know is my personal story which I have osteopenia in the middle of my back. I had Vitamin D levels of 12 on my Dr's test, and began supplementing which I had been doing since about 2017. My back never improved and I had pain every single day. I remember the same pain in middle school on up till age 50 off and on, but it had gotten worse as I aged. I decided to try 5000iu's of Vitamin D3 with K2, and my pain is 90% gone now. I also take a liquid multi, and magnesium glycinate added to this. The 5000iu's is the only change I have recently made, and it's been a miracle for me. I have no plans to go back to that pain on a lower level vitamin D ever again... as it radiated around my chest and made my heart hurt as well as my liver/pancreas area. Best wishes!!
Apparently you didn’t listen to the video. He did not advise going to lower levels of vitamin D. He is explaining where we need to get vitamin D from and why synthetic vitamin D is harmful.
@@brendaalder1549it depends what kind of vitamin D you get and it bioavailability. Make sure you get a high quality not off brands. I use Vitamin D because I have Clinical deficiency for 4 years now (< 20 units). I feel like shit everyday and this is one of the main things that has helped me specially this time of the year (winter). I was sick for many days and my voice went away for a couple days but thanks to the vitamins I was taking I recovered quickly! I used 20,000 UI 2x a day for 3 days. Obviously don’t use it everyday but when you know there is no sun.
Of course! Thats what the 'experts' again say don't they? They nowadays have no problem quickly and easily confessing that they were wrong and pivot confidently to something else at no cost with a new set of believers/followers
Did you even watch the video? He literally addressed this saying K2 might not have much if any affect on calcification caused by D3 supplementation, whereas it does work with natural vitamin D from sunlight
Medical Technologist here; as someone who runs laboratory tests for a living, make sure you measure mag and potassium within the RBC (RBC-Mg and RBC-K). Serum levels of Magnesium and Potassium are tightly regulated by the body and only used in acute settings, such as a therapeutic magnesium drip for birthing mothers.
@Miquel Biggs I had a Dr. On a site say that a 200lb man can use 800mg of magnesium per day. I currently use 800mg of magnesium bicarbonate made from carbonated water and magnesium oxide using a Soda Streamer. 1 teaspoon per liter. Add the magnesium after carbonation. Shake 90 times, refrigerate till clear, and shake again 90 times refrigerate till clear and it's ready to drink. Don't drink the left over powder on the bottom. This drink was recommended by Dr William Davis a cardiologist. Said it is very absorbable form of magnesium. Better than pills! Most people are deficient.
The problem with your thinking here is that while it's obviously ideal to obtain Vit D via natural sunshine - it is not achievable in the real world. Most people live and work indoors, many pulling night shifts, or have dark skin colours and live too far from the equator to get anywhere near enough sunshine - any time of the year. Or if they are outside they're wearing so much clothing or applying so much sunscreen, that almost no VitD is being produced anyways. Sure they might get the odd dose here and there on some weekends or on holiday, but this will be nowhere near enough. And there is more to sunshine than VitD - there is the intracellular melatonin and mitochondrial ATP to consider as well. I fully accept that taking every opportunity to get full, unclothed exposure whenever the chance presents itself is a very worthwhile thing. And the clip is useful in that it does address the importance of the co-factors. Magnesium and VitA & K2 being the critical ones. (Literally as I type this I'm soaking my feet in a concentrated Epsom salts footbath - for what it's worth.) It does underline the idea that regular blood work tests are definitely a good plan. I agree that any supplement in isolation has the potential to unbalance the system. But to use this as justification NOT to supplement - when there is no practical alternative for most - is not helpful either. It just means there is more to it than unthinkingly swallowing the capsules.
@@Andromony Understood. It's much the same here in West Australia - if you are not outside regularly and gradually building a healthy tan slowly as the season builds - then I think you become much more prone to sunburn and skin damage if you suddenly get exposed during the hottest part of the day.
"ideal to obtain Vit D via natural sunshine - it is not achievable in the real world" The ideal is not to deplete your vit D by eating sugar and other plant-nonsense. Inuits were not getting much sun (in the winter none) but not only have they had no signs of vit D deficiency but were also very healthy compared to our western culture. It all changed suddenly as they started to eat our western diet, full of sugar, carbohydrates and seed oils and other plant nonsense. All the sudden they started to suffer from all the diseases we have such as MIs, cancer, obesity, etc, etc.
I think that also as a part of our conscious evolution these things need to be brought up, and to point the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins D’s work in the body is important understanding to share. And it it to each one of us at their own time to adjust our thinking and ways of living - to better harmonize with the nature , we are made of- instead of feeling that it’s unpractical advice for most modern lifestyles to get enough sunlight needed for a healthy body, while living on earth. Whereas I do agree that many chronically deficient people have found help from supplements, that’s great. But we are at the next level of this understanding- namely how does nature does it better than the supplements, ‘cos it always does, when we take a moment to understand it better. Let us not settle with the thought that our culture makes us sick, let’s become aware and change that culture : where there’s supposedly “no way or time” to receive sun/ or uv & red light therapy in the amount that is needed for a healthy body, and yes having good levels makes one better, but how much better would one feel if those levels were gotten from the sun. It’s been said that A one 20min exposure of ones back to medium strong daytime sun, provides enough for a week or two) more is surely better, as long as one doesn’t let themselves get burned. Most burns are your skin trying to expel the toxic. synthetic sunscreen ingredients. Namaste.
@@thomaxtubeas he was saying: black skinned people need more sun exposure. Have you been to Africa? It would work for me to get enough sun on a regular basis over there, but in Northern Europe it’s difficult, now, mid September, it’s impossible. I’m considering though taking a tea spoon cod liver oil, changing the mg intake routine and lowering a bit the D3 supplement intake, maybe to 5k iu per day.
I think the most useful study would be testing cholecalciferol (D) with a matching dose of retinol (A), active B complex, C and E (full spectrum), Omega 3 and adequate magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc against placebo. If all the parts are in place, the unit will perform as designed (other supplements used as may be needed). Test that against any diet.
Sunlight also sulphates cholesterol. This means it does not need a lipid like LDL for transport because this form of cholesterol is water soluble. So... if vitamin D3 supplements are NOT water soluble does it need a lipoprotein for transport, thereby increasing LDL? Good video BTW.
This is only a problem if you have a sulfate deficiency in which case there is very little D3 + sulfate binding. That being said many people are sulfate deficient because they do not eat sulfur rich foods or take N-Acetylcysteine(NAC) /Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)/ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) which are sulfate donors. This is why a good balanced diet is so important. Because of the co factors and how our bodies have evolved. The last 50 years our food intake is lacking so much so that it is messing up a system that took tens of thousands of years to create. MSM is a calcium phosphate dissolver. In this way, it helps break down and prevent the accumulation of the bad calcium in the soft tissue (brain, kidneys, arteries, etc.) preventing calcification regarded as the root of many degenerative diseases (hardening of arteries, kidney stones, calcification of pineal glans, constipation, etc.). Other very important nutrients that help prevent calcification are Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Magnesium.
So if a person would take NAC along with a high dose D3+ Co-factors, would that solve the hypercalcemia and weird symptoms problem that comes with Vit-D3 supplementation?
If you use a Vitamin D lamp. Try to use it outside in daylight even if cloudy. This way, skin exposure will have the balance of the other normal daylight frequencies which are not blocked by clouds or he angle of inclination of the sun in winter if that is the case where you live.
Nailed it… balance with sunlight. Using D lamps in the winter is therapy to get you to summer. Then do the right thing. No lamps in the evening… it can mess up your circadian rhythms
@@robr3621 Quantum biology, I heard it a couple of years ago at a talk organised by the University of Surrey in Guildford. I think I've heard Dr Sarah Pugh touch on the same in a UA-cam Talk. www.youtube.com/@Thebusysuperhuman
Your video has a strong undercurrent that is more concerning without being alarming. For the short term, I will look into vitamin D light therapy. I'm working nights now, so I am taking vitamin D/k2. And when it comes to minerals, the only one I feel confident to go a little heavy on is magnesium bisglycinate. I swear, health and nutrition are never easy
@@brianmp7846 glycinate is supposedly better and doesn’t have the laxative effect citrate can have. But, for me personally, I FEEL better on the citrate. It is my nightly ritual to sip a warm mug of it (which I’m actually enjoying right now). It definitely helps me sleep and I believe it’s why restless leg syndrome is no longer plaguing me at night.
Exactly. In central/mid Europe, only for very few months and then, only a few hours around noon, basically, give enough UV-B to produce adequate vit-D, so the "get sun" advice is useless. It's a luxury attainable by people living in certain regions of the earth.
@@ClayMationNation i know people who are not a lot in the sun ,getting skin cancers , and people who are workin 8 hours a day outside never get skin cancer . alcohol ,tabacco and bad food are more dangerous
@@peteralexben Now you're playing this vs that. All of these things are EQUALLY dangerous. Also excessive sunlight causes premature skin aging. I go back to my original point that my NGs of blood vitamin D went WAY up after supplementing.
I discovered now, what is wrong with this video. vitamin D studies (there is a latin word for it) and not vitamin D3 - the pre-version of it. Vitamin D3 is safe, and hardly possible to overdose. also - IMPORTANT - what is described in this video weith the calcification is not true for D3. It is all about synthethic pure vit. D form. AND it is not better, to take it with extra calzium, rather to include calzium veggies and such. don't take high doesed calzium. magnesium is helpful (even in fruits and nuts depending on your individual needs, age etc). although after correcting the defiiciency, a maximum of 4000 daily is enough (also moneywise). but even 1000-2500 daily is helpful - even during winter times or when absorbtion is week with age or other reasons. better the oily version, then the synthetic powder. this far I know. and now I know, what felt mixed up in this video, after I observed a lot of published studies from quality sources. this video did irritate me. it was good, that I went back and looked it all up again
@@nursen2106thx for the information sir but are u sure about it? don't u think that study get funded by Vit D supplement producer Can u give us the link of the study u read about it sir
I'm 56 and take 20,000 IU of Vitamin D a day, winter and summer - the important thing is to ALWAYS take K2-MK7 with it. Its not taking or getting K2 that causes the problems not the Vit D!! K2 can also be found in Sauerkraut, Meat, Egg Yolks, Liver, Dairy especially Brie

I found some of your other videos to have things I didn't agree with, however, this is the best one I have seen, in fact, it is better than any of the other people's I have seen. Finally, someone isn't pushing the oral D thing, and understands what is going on with D.
I think that most of the people "pushing" oral vitamin D are doing so because the overwhelming majority of us cannot get adequate amounts from the sun most of the year. Even in the summer, most of us work during the day and cannot get exposure.

i like the questions posed. I personally have been supplementing with vitamin D and have had nothing but positives. Although I dont get the immediate mood boosting effects of sun, I have been overall happier with much much much better skin
I hope you're supplementing with Vitamin K2-MK7 and enough of it. The latest dosing of K2-MK7 is 100mcg per 1000i.u of D3. You can take more K2-MK7 as there are further benefits. Otherwise if your doing D3 alone your setting yourself up for a heart attack as D3 allows the body to absorb 20 times more calcium. And it doesn't know where to go without K2 like your bones and teeth and not your arteries. I'd get a Coronary Artery Calcium score or CAC for short.
@John William I agree 👍 that the sun is superior, no doubt, but I also feel that a D3 level should be checked and then adjust to needs of what level you want to be at. I'm at 60ng using 5000i.u. in summer and 10000iu for winter. It is amazing how much this can vary in people as my sister living in Florida was down to 2 ng this is obviously dangerous. A level greater than 20 ng is preferred.

@@johnwilliam6092 Sunlight (UV-B) IS a very real cause of skin cancer. You can't handwave that away. Feel free to sun-bathe, the risk is reasonably low, but it is NOT trivial. I don't hide from the sun, but I also deliberately supplement D3 instead of frying my skin in the Az sun.
@@WorldofSmeads Well, it TOTALLY changed my life. Just imagine going from a life where you are regularly sick and sometimes very sick to not being sick at all! Except for Covid twice. And the second time it was very light, like a cold with fever (ca 38) only one day. I also a few years ago started to add zink and K2. Since 3-4 months I also take Omega-3. I am now 68 years and the Omega-3 has I think helped me with my cognition. I remember better. I suspect not having taken the covid "vaccine" has also been beneficial for me.

@@nursen2106 Thanks. Interesting that you mention that the oily version is better because that is what I have been taken until recently when I changed to the other type because it is cheaper. But now I think that I will switch back to the oily version if you think it is better.
Haven't watched the vid, but from the thumbnail just want to say: 1) Vitamin D is a vital nutrient to get sufficient levels of 2) Yes, Vitamin D from Sunlight is best, so do that if you can... 3) However, because of seasonal unavailability or time constraints supplementation may be needed, take K2, magnesium, and potassium as well for proper calcium utilization 4) 7000 is probably too high a maintenance dose; I find 5000 every 2 days seems to work for me as a maintenance dose when I can't get D from the sun 5) If you're unsure have your D levels checked by a lab to fine tune your dosage
Mine comes with K2, Boron, Zinc, etc. and have had no issues - it’s been incredibly useful and helpful to me actually as I barely get out much anymore since WFH. I also take various other supplements like chelated Magnesium l-threonate and glycinate and others. Again, nothing but good news after a 6 months to a year.
Many of your key points, you did not back up with research studies. Are we just supposed to take your word for it? And there is not a widespread deficiency in serum potassium levels, else people would be dying. I will try and research some of your points myself, but overall I'm very skeptical. Btw, yes, getting vitamins (all vitamins) from natural sources is going to be superior to supplementation, but we need vitamin D supplementation during winter months when there simply is not sufficient UV radiation to generate adequate vitamin D (in the northern areas). Also, people need to be getting lab tests as there are several genes that, depending on what you are born with, will either make it easier to obtain adequate vitamin D levels or nearly impossible.

The thing is, "high dose" in this video likely means "extremely high dose", as in taking 50,000 IU per day without any other co-factors. Most people who supplement are on doses between 2000 and 10000 IU per day alongside all other co-factors. I'd say to most people who've done their research and supplement daily don't need to worry at all. Just don't superdose like an idiot, and if you decide to be that idiot, don't superdose without co-factors and don't do it for a long time.
@@MyPronounIsGoddess i think you should be fine i was in the same boat as you but dont do what i did lol i started with 5000ui but bumped it up to 10 then 20 then i think i doubled it to 40 then doubled it to 80000 a day. so i would take 8 5000ui in the morning and another 8 in the night. started doing it since August of last year while taking sunlight at the same time 30min on some days not everyday. so once i went back to get my vitamin d tests results on september coming from a 23 deficit level to a 240 lvl oh i made it high lol so after that i think i lowered my dose to 20000 keep in mind i didnt search up how long the body holds these vitamin d lvls so the body cuts your vitamin d lvls in half in 15-30 days now if you take in mind that daily you take in vitamin D it will just keep adding up until you stop taking it. so i didnt know that and kept taking it just lowered my dosage. comes this year and i said let me up my dose since its almost may the month being people who have autoimmune diseases have flares because of low vitamin d lvls. so its march and im smoking my cbd weed for inflammation reasons see im struggling with something possibly Progressive MS that im trying to get diagnosed since 2 years now in 2021 started having muscle weakness burning feeling in my muscles and im pretty much losing usage of specific muscles on my left side mostly so i have gone to neurologist getting checked for MS and ALS but no signs because the tests show nothing so im still struggling. anyways high lvls of Vitamin D helps. But on March my body just started having like Chills like IM very cold but im not my muscles were just uncontrollably shaking like if a was freezing so i stopped taking everything even eating eggs is when i notced it happen after and eggs have vitamin D too. so it did go away. and i was thinking it was Probably vitamind D but im not sure just last month started feeling some shiver in my core but i havent taken any vitamin D or sunlight so im wondering if the vitamin D lvls ever go down or what might be going on now, so ill probably do some Blood tests this month to figure it out. while sober i can manage it but if i was high no chance. just so you know all these neurological problems have been happening after i got Covid in December of 2020 in May of 2021 is when my first muscle weakness started and those first muscles today are pretty worthless i can only use them to hold me but not really contract sadly. anyways dont do what i did getting more problems then what i already have. just stick to 4000 or 5000. and if you are gonna be exposed to sunlight that day then dont take any.
Exactly. I've been on 8~10K per day for over three years. My urine and blood Ca, tested last year, were fine. That said, I don't eat too many high Ca foods. (Dairy is very limited.)
I was so ready for this video. Imagine researchers, doctors and health gurus touting pills and powders in place of natural sunlight and food. But on the other hand, what else to do when soils are depleted and the sun just won't come out!
Thank you for contextualizing vitamin D supplementation. There are so many YT personalities spreading preposterously overblown and extreme dosage recommendations that it is really confusing. I have gleaned all of the cofactor information you mention from sources over the last few years, but no one has come close to your thoroughgoing and approachable contextual overview. It is nuanced and that is precisely what we need more of around supplementation of vitamins.

Too many studies have attested for 10.000 IUs a day being safe from calcification taken for years. So were are the studies you quote? And not everybody loves in the sun all day.
I guess it's just a mechanistic guess. It "could" happen. You would need a study over 10 years which controls for Vit D intake AND sun exposure. Doesn't exist.
The studies I'm aware of (this one for example: academic.oup.com/jcem/article/105/4/1261/5634116) measured the risk of calcium excess based on blood tests, which will be the last place where it shows up. Analyzing nutrient status based on blood tests comes with some serious down sides. More on this here: ua-cam.com/video/q7hJ5M0H_4k/v-deo.html
I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and my primary care doctor had to prescribe a very high dose of vitamin D for a month. After taking the prescription of vitamin D for a month, my level was back at normal so I’d think that either the prescription or lower doses of the vitamin D supplement should have worked despite we were recommended to bath in the sun in which either folks don't have the time or afraid of getting skin cancer.
This is, by far, the most solidly and realistically based video on vitamin D I've ever seen - and possibly the best available on YT on this topic, only matched by others that might be based on similar content, studies and seriousness. It should be widely spread. Congrats and thank you!
Sun also creates melatonin in the mitochondria from near infrared light. This functions as an antioxidant locally, protecting the mitochondria from oxidative stress and ROS. Good reason to go outside, even in the shade or in winter.
Many areas you can’t get VD3 from sun You must supplement magnesium boron and plenty of D I take 5- 15000 a day depending on amount of sun exposure I get We are in Florida during cold months and really don’t need much d down there if you are indeed in the sun with shirt off no sunscreen
thanks for the boron mention; I hadn't even considered it as low enough to notice let alone missing.... 20 mule team boron is fine as an oral supplement...
Sorted out many of the issues very well. MEDICAL ADVICE: Stay out of the sun. Use sunscreen. 50 years of destructive medical advice. Confederacy of Dunces. THIS VIDEO IS WELL DONE AND DEEP.
@@pawwelmussial2916 The military studies did show a marked increase of skin cancer in the people who used sunscreen. Also in people who went out in the sun occasionally rather than frequently or all the time...
They also kept prescribing MRNA covid vaccines so cannot be trusted as neither being impartial nor being sufficiently up to speed with nutritional research.
To my understanding Cofactors like Magnesium are not used up. It is true that you need high magnesium levels to make high vitamin D supplementation work, but it doesnt deplete magnesium. It is set free again after the chemical reaction where it acts as a cofactor.
Warning!!! D supplement overload caused so much calcium build up in my soft tissues that I thought I was getting Lupus or MS. I'm going with sunlight and cod liver oil now.
The problem is that K2 is usually sold with D3 in one capsule which I currently have. Next time I will buy K2 separately. Somehow companies make it cheaper to buy D3 + K2 complex than to buy K2 separately.
Vit. D3 supplements are phenomenal. I used to get sinus infections 2-3x per year until I cranked up my Vit. D3 supplementation to 20,000 IU per day (with K2 and magnesium too). Then I increased my D3 to 30,000 IU per day, and I literally have not had more than a sniffle in two years. Not all of us live in the Sunbelt. Vit. D3 supplements are cheap and they work. If you can get your Vit. D3 from sunlight or cod liver oil, more power to you. I have no objection to that. Sounds great. If you can't, however, don't overthink it. Take t Vit. D3 supplements along with cofactor nutrients.
Excellent video. Have never been exposed to the difference between natural vit D and supplemented vit D. Thank you for explaining that very necessary bit of information.
I discovered now, what is wrong with this video. vitamin D studies (there is a latin word for it) and not vitamin D3 - the pre-version of it. Vitamin D3 is safe, and hardly possible to overdose. also - IMPORTANT - what is described in this video weith the calcification is not true for D3. It is all about synthethic pure vit. D form. AND it is not better, to take it with extra calzium, rather to include calzium veggies and such. don't take high doesed calzium. magnesium is helpful (even in fruits and nuts depending on your individual needs, age etc). although after correcting the defiiciency, a maximum of 4000 daily is enough (also moneywise). but even 1000-2500 daily is helpful - even during winter times or when absorbtion is week with age or other reasons. better the oily version, then the synthetic powder. this far I know. and now I know, what felt mixed up in this video, after I observed a lot of published studies from quality sources. this video did irritate me. it was good, that I went back and looked it all up again
doesn't the supplemental form get sulfated at some point? "Sulfating activity on 25(OH)D3 has been found in the liver, kidney, lung and small intestine, and on D3 in the liver." maybe this means that supplemental form gets sulfated if needed?
Magnesium isn't as finicky as potassium to the heart. Generally I supplement about 1/6 the potassium as I do magnesium now. And more salt too coz I sweat freely and potassium doesn't come out in sweat.
Cod liver! Keep forgetting. Green eyed blonde melanoma gal that has extreme damage to skin. Years of burns. Ordering now. Good, best cod liver oil. ❤❤ thank you❤❤
I agree with most what you are saying in your video, however what you haven't covered is the mathematical aspect on how many mg/ml of vitamin d is normal and the conversion to IU for supplementation to have the optimum level. Also if you don't live in the correct hemisphere, it doesn't matter how much sun you getting, you will hardly get any vitamin D. I live in Scotland and done a lot of research in Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.

@@nursen2106 Here is the math on how much Vitamin D you need daily. A healthy level is 40-60 ng/ml, this equals around 1.8 IU's, your body has an average of 5000ml of blood. 5000ml x 1.8 = 9000 IU's, absorption rate is between 60-80%, you would need to take at least 10000 IU's a day. To have some kind of overdose, you would need to take 100000's every day for several month.
I totally agree, I live in Michigan, and every doctor here recommends that people supplement with vit D. Too much cloud cover, and it seems the sun isn't as powerful as it is in Florida.
How long does the whole process take once exposed to UVB rays? For example, once I go outside and the sun exposes my skin to UVB rays --> Does this instantaneously created pre-vitamin D? How long does it take the pre-vitamin D to be converted to sulfated cholecalciferol? How long does it take the Liver to convert this to 25(OH)D? How long does it then take the kidneys to produce this to 1,25(OH)2D? Thanks
Wonderful advice. Maintain vitamin D around 40 to 50 ng/ml and always take the supplement with fat for better absorption. With the hype for various supplements at various periods, always understand that over consumption is dangerous specially for fat soluble ones that is stored in the body. People are always confused with lots of promotion from persons who are either sponsored by companies or who sell their own products. Great message Sir.
@@porkpie2884 There is a sweet spot for every individual and for many, lack of quality sleep is a problem with excess level. Many of the negative effects are subclinical and often confusing to diagnose.
THANKS ! For a long time I was looking for a video that goes against the grain of this "fashion" of prescribing Vitamin D to everyone! My health problems started almost 2 years after I started taking vitamin D drops every morning (and I'm not even talking about the doctors who prescribe ultra-dose ampoules...). Yet I was taking extra magnesium and vitamin K2! I have regained much better health since I stopped taking vitamin D!

But ONLY if he is correct. Even those that study this for years have widely differing opinions. I only trust my intuition by trial and error. Where does that leave us....nowhere. we are only human, so round and round we go. The correct answer always seems to lean towards the natural way.
Thank for a very well curated video. I used to take 10,000 IU D3 (without K2) for several months, after adding K2 MK7, I had a big problem with my heart (calsifiction) so I stopped them and trying to recover.
a friend of mine takes the same dossage as you for at least 6 years. she is 74 now. when she went to a doctor because of her heart rate and feeling uneasy etc. the doctor told her, of course, your heart is calcified. but then she paid the extra money, hat a calc-scan, and it turned out, not a single bit of calc there. the reason for her issues was a cronique lack of iron (because she is vegan and did not pay attention to her intake in that regard). with diet adjustments and a replenishment effort, after only two weeks, she felt the difference. nothing wrong with her heart by calc. anyway, this is what I came here for: I discovered now, what is wrong with this video. vitamin D studies (there is a latin word for it) and not vitamin D3 - the pre-version of it.

This natural sun light theory is a great advice but in the end all it is a theory. It’s just not a viable solution. Most people don’t have access to sunny days all year around or even if they do they just don’t have the time to make sure they get their dose of Vitam D daily . It’s a lot more to this sun exposure for example you got to make sure you have a light perspiration from sun exposure in order to get the full benefits of proper absorption and metabolism. In the end a good brand of D proper dosing and monitoring plus MK7 trumps natural sunlight unless you live on sunny island and you are chilling in the sun every day 😁
@@ccaselli7 no, what I meant (or I thinks this is what happened) when I took D3 for months, calcium accumulated in my arteries, then why I added K2, fir some reason, my arteries were blocked to a certain percentage. I took Statins which relived me at bit but still, but now when I take K2, I feel my arteries are blocking again, so now, I only take D3 with K2 every about 4 days.
Unfortunately, like many claims, there are many studies that say the opposite with this one does done by Harvard being one. He also doesn’t differentiate the quality of the vitamin D supplement. You’re taking as not all of them are equal by far specially whole Food, vitamin D . Bioavailability of the supplement is always a key thing that very few really go deep into which is strange.
This is why this landscape of never ending contradictions because of skewed studies are unreliable and continually change conclusions..its making people neurotic
One thing I’ll mention. Although you’re well spoken and obviously informed, many (not only you) refer to studies that may or may not be any good. It was studies that taught the masses that saturated fat clogged your arteries. And today most should know this is patently untrue. It was studies that were behind the creation of the now ever changing diabetic creating food pyramid. And on it goes like this. A person needs to really critically research past studies, influencers and the like. It’s not an easy feat.
This video is not specific to Vitamin D3, it studies vitamin D in general, but he is correct in saying everybodies needs in different. I have trouble converting beta-carotene to an active Vitamin A and must get in animal form, I also have issues with Vitamin D3 levels.
I am a mailman that has a park & loop route( I walk to each mail box). I am in the sun for at least 6 hours, 5 days a week. I also go through a gallon of milk in a week so I was so surprised to find that my vit D levels where low. I have added magnesium supplements and up my potassium intake. I hope this works
I added more magnesium and potassium to stabilize ventricular arrhythmia. The vitamin D increase is also used to serve the calcium channels in heartbeat and so on...
@@HH-zx2lq In a few years K2 is seen as negative, even K2 mixing with vit d. Because supplements are for shure also seen sooner or later as damaging. Because they are all isolated and put in a pil. I am allmost shure that the negatives will show up. The complexity of the body of each individual, depending where they live and work and their ancestors surroundings adaptation and each personal dna mix will be seen as a complex thing. People should not believe in the simplicity of life and narure, but the complexity. We do maybe more harm thinking everything is simple.
I spent time in the Sun during the day running errands but I'm always wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, I do take vitamin D3 supplement because only speaking for myself I don't want to expose my skin to the sun I have very sensitive skin my skin skin on my face is already ruined from the years that I didn't expose it I look older than what I should and I get discoloration super easily I want to avoid them as much as I can from here on now that's why for me a supplement is better because I don't want to ruin my skin and I also have osteoporosis I know I don't get enough from diet
Ugh. Sunscreen is poison. You must get sun. It is not the enemy. It is your diet that determines how your skin responds to sun. Get rid of all seed oils -they are poison, and eat lots of berries. Many people with "sensitive skin" report being able to stay in sun for long periods without burning once they ditched seed oils. This includes the supposed "healthy" ones like sunflower, safflower, etc. Canola oil, soybean oil...all toxic to the human body. Yiu can also drink bone broth for healthier looking skin (for collagen and other health benefits). Get collagen powder for smoothies. That's what is lacking in wrinkly skin. That and proper hydration. Put a little salt in your water so it gets into cells and is therefore more usable by your body.
@@J.o.e_K Dr Dray made a good video on why sun exposure isn't good, 5 to 10 minutes is all it takes to mess my skin I'm too sensitive, I get dark spots and discoloration too easily I'm trying so hard to get rid of them so I can have even skin tone It's hard reversing skin damage
@@AmyB1961 I've tried diet but it doesn't help my skin at all I don't think diet will get rid of the damage that's already caused by the sun the only thing I can do is the best I can to prevent further damage

Smart video thanks… Myself I have to in the winter months increase dramatically my D3… And drastically reduce it in the summer, but for myself I always feel better with megadoses of sunlight
Mushrooms are a great source of Vita D , the ones in the store are synthetic. From my understanding we need to spend ALOT of time in the sun , sweat and wipe it in.

how about vitamin d fortified mushrooms (the ones sun dried or kept under a uvb lamp for 6 hours) as a natural supplement, would they be helpful, or will they cause complications as well?
Vitamin D at 5000IU/day started to give me minor calcification issues. I stopped the day I noticed the calcification issues on my skin. I wasn’t taking K2 at the time. Nowadays, if I do supplement with vitamin D, it’s max 800 IU per day plus regular consumption of natto (about 400-600mcg of K2 mk7 per 50g package)
Felix, Thank you for this video! 🙏💎 I've always strived to educate my family, friends, and clients on the importance of the 'natural' ways of including proper nutrition and nutrients into their regimen. How our bodies have an innate intelligence to 'know what to do' with wholefoods, as well as how to regulate the utilization of nutrients according to our specific needs. That many supplements are concentrated isolates of specific vitamins/minerals that our bodies don't recognize in order to assimilate them properly. For years I've been saying these things__the information falling on deaf ears. Well, maybe some will listen more intently now. 😛 Thank you for your many informative videos, I appreciate your research/findings. Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

no, he doesnt't because he mixes up studies about synthetik vitamin D and Vitamin D3 - which you should be taken. what he described with calzium, cann't possible happen with vitamin D3. But - preferably take the oily version. not sure about soft caps. but there are critical studies about the poweder version. I think, released in the USA already some time betwwen 2015 and 2017. this far is true and this person needs to stop telling such lies. who knows, who influenced him or made use of an issue he had, due to the wong intake with synthehik - pure vitamin D instead of the 'pre-version' of it - D3!
Is there such a supplement as Sulfated Vitamin D? Would that be the answer for those who live in the Northern Hemisphere who rarely see sunlight? If not what can we do?
What a refreshingly accurate analysis of vitamin D metabolism and the drawbacks of artificial supplementation. The vast majority of advocates of vitamin D supplementation completely ignore the issue of association vs causation and the fact that sunlight is a far safer, quicker and more effective method of boosting vitamin D levels. The point that vitamin D is also a steroid hormone is lost on these people as is the consequence, that like steroids, supplemental vitamin D suppresses the immune system with symptomatic relief but counterproductive long term effects.
Great video. I would only say that besides a well balanced diet, the only supplement you really should be taking if any is Magnesium. You can get plenty of vitamin D naturally through sunlight exposure with a sufficient diet. But Magnesium is the only challenging nutrient to get hold of (unless you are Plant Based diet, in which case b12, iron, vitamin A, and other nutrients will be hard to access bioavailability wise). The only way to consume sufficient amount of magnesium which goes in high doses with potassium together naturally is through diet consisting of bananas and legumes. Lentils have high levels of magnesium and potassium as well as potatoes and bananas. That means if you want to avoid supplements all together, you have to get all of your carbohydrate sources through whole food diets rich in those nutrients (little room or any for deserts and etc, unless maybe raw honey). If you are keto or carnivore, getting these nutrients is outside of my expertise so I would assume it would be sufficient in terms of consuming nuts and lots meat organs that might posses adequate levels so long as the meats are grassfed on a rich soil. Ultimately if any supplement that would be taken otherwise in an optimal diet would be Magnesium Citrate specifically as the preferred bioavailable source, ideally before bedtime with a small meal 3 to 5 hours prior or on empty stomach otherwise as the magnesium in pure form will cause drowsiness and natural relaxation. My suspicion that older people start having joint, neck, and muscle aches due to the fact that their magnesium levels are insufficient causing stiff muscles and lack of recovery. As someone who is in his mid 30s I noticed the moment I supplement or consume a high magnesium diet, these issue go away immediately and I am able to recover overnight and perform much better as the magnesium actually relaxes the muscles to their natural state in combination with potassium for firing. Make sure to consume adequate calcium as well if you are fitness lifestyle. PS. forgot to add that you can get magnesium through mineral water, so you have to consume ALL of your liquid intake through mineral water only to get it "naturally" without the need for supplementation of any kind.
I've seen Vitamin D lamps reviewed online, and while many people said their mood was better using these devices, they did not claim that their Vitamin D levels increased. What should one be looking for in these lamps, UVB bulbs? How safe are these? Have you already done a video on this topic?
i had plenty of sunlight without suncreme in midday sun on naked skin the whole summer for at least 30 mins, i had good tan , looked like a solarium guy, but my D levels where 15ng/ml in late summer, thats a bad deficiency. later i did take high dose vitamin D , didnt bring it up much. then later i took high dose magnesium and potassium and i supplemented like 5000 iu every other or otherother day and my blood levels of D where 88ng/ml after a few weeks.
The problem with superdosing sunlight is sunburn, and even with doing that, in the PNW you can only make about 10% of your vitamin D if you bask in the sun for four hours. We need to supplement as well. You're welcome...I buy D3 by the bag in bulk.
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your knowledge in a factual, systematic way 🙏. I wish I had seen this years ago. I've gotten to the point of super calcified joints and tendons due to unsupervised intake of highdose Vit D over +4 years. Is there a chance for a follow-up video where you might explain how to treat this? Beyond the obvious (stopping all Vit D supplements, no calcium-containing foods (or God forbid, supplements). What treatment should I seek? I know it is my fault or arriving in this situation (in response to a stupid medical recommendation that I followed blindly), please don't come at me in the comments for this, I've already cried enough over this. I live in the UK and the GPs in my area (bless them) are useless. They've registered my immensely high Vit D levels in the blood and when I asked for help, they said: Well, there's no upper limit for Vit D, so it's not a concern qualifying me for another appointment or treatment 🙈. But my levels are 250 nmol/l vit D and they said since there's no upper limit, it's fine 🤦♀. I've heard there are some saline injections (or something like this) that can help dissolve calcium deposits. Is this right? Thank you so much for any help. I know we shall not seek medical advice online, but a video on 'treatments' or what the common route for recovery is would be super helpful 🙏. At least I'd know what to ask for.
Hello, Cathrine! First of all, it's not your fault at all! People trust their medical doctors and professional health advisors as the ones who have, or should have, legit and correct knowledge to guide them, as well as to admit that there are no reliable studies and conclusions available on a certain topic, and also be able to correlate clinical symptoms and exams results to guide themselves in the investigation of the root problems and finally their correct treatment - it's a complex work and we, lay people on medical subjects, can never be blamed or blame ourselves for not being able to perform this work, even in theory, or to supervise those who are in charge of the work. The problem with health care around the world is systemic and deep and its root cause is the economic system we all are sunk in, that puts profit above everything and generates harm, from toxic medications to bad health professionals and networks - and the solution for that is a big massive table turning conducted by the people. Meanwhile, I believe that what you have to do now to solve your current problems and get your health back on track is to search and look for good doctors, they exist, you will find them, and only them can really help you with the correct treatment you need now - even if you have to hop from doctor to doctor until you find the one or ones who are really serious and dedicated to the patients and to clinical investigation - now you are armed with more knowledge and experience and it will definitely help you to evaluate, by what these professionals are saying or not saying, by how they treat you, look at you, listen to you, if they are reliable or not. I'm sure you'll be successful in your journey and you'll have a healthy and happy life! 😙
@@marcia.reeverCC Thank you so much for your thoughtful, kind and encouraging reply, Marcia 🙏. I'm really, really grateful!

Thank you for making this video. I think a lot of the comments did not realize you are not against vd supplements - but just cautioning people to proceed vs cautions, especially for long term high dosage supplements. My question is, if you are getting vd from the sperti lamps, do you also need to supplement with the cofactors?
1. But what about skin cancer from sun beds and sun light? 2. Why vitamin K2 supplement doesn't work miraculously like in Dr. Weston A. Price’s cases? 3. Is it possible that fish oil supplements work just like D3 supplements in case of suppressing immune system, and may not be that good longterm?
Really differs from person to person. I have seen people who get serious side effects from 1000 IU/day. But then again, my videos are meant for people who are sensitive to side effects and don't find answers elsewhere. How much you should (or shouldn't supplement) always depends on your nutrient status, which I talk about in more detail here: ua-cam.com/video/q7hJ5M0H_4k/v-deo.html
Thank you for information, only thing I would add is best time for UV sun exposure for vitamin D , very little UV light in the morning. Morning at 7am to 9am is when I get 15 minutes to 30 minutes of red light therapy from sun with skin exposed. Inferred light can penetrate clothing and target body I think, up to 1.5 inches . Like he said do your own research 🙄 lol
Everyone says "do your own research" meaning read stuff other people have posted. There are a myriad of ideas and so called "research" out there and we're all getting lost in the soup.

Why your explanation is not enough credibile..Sorry but Farmaceutical autorites won't to make Random studies and large investigations about HIS MAJESTY-amazing Vit D-3
Sorry about my poorly English and grretings from Macedonia🇲🇰❤️🥂
The latest dosing is 100mcg K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3.
I'm currently at 2400mcg of K2-MK7 and 5000i.u of D3.
I'm also the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol. For a nice 30% reversal of my CAC Score.
Last year I had a natural sunshine tan, but my Vitamin D lab report was low. I was also taking Vitamin K2 (mk7 & 4). I now know the other cofactors of potassium & magnesium were most likely the problem. Thanks for shining a light on this, it should help many others.
Don’t forget boron! Very important, read some of the boron vitamin d studies on NCBI Pubmed. Boron activates D3 to the active form the body uses.
The "Blue Zone" groups of people who typically live healthily into their 90s and 100s live out in the sun working, and have diets high in potassium and magnesium. The body has adapted to this over the ages.
Well the thing here is. Did you use sunscreen and how strong if you did? What type of sling do you have, as the darker the skin the harder it is to make but d (malanin make it harder to make but d).

All I know is my personal story which I have osteopenia in the middle of my back. I had Vitamin D levels of 12 on my Dr's test, and began supplementing which I had been doing since about 2017. My back never improved and I had pain every single day. I remember the same pain in middle school on up till age 50 off and on, but it had gotten worse as I aged. I decided to try 5000iu's of Vitamin D3 with K2, and my pain is 90% gone now. I also take a liquid multi, and magnesium glycinate added to this. The 5000iu's is the only change I have recently made, and it's been a miracle for me. I have no plans to go back to that pain on a lower level vitamin D ever again... as it radiated around my chest and made my heart hurt as well as my liver/pancreas area. Best wishes!!
Apparently you didn’t listen to the video. He did not advise going to lower levels of vitamin D. He is explaining where we need to get vitamin D from and why synthetic vitamin D is harmful.
@@brendaalder1549it depends what kind of vitamin D you get and it bioavailability. Make sure you get a high quality not off brands. I use Vitamin D because I have Clinical deficiency for 4 years now (< 20 units). I feel like shit everyday and this is one of the main things that has helped me specially this time of the year (winter). I was sick for many days and my voice went away for a couple days but thanks to the vitamins I was taking I recovered quickly! I used 20,000 UI 2x a day for 3 days. Obviously don’t use it everyday but when you know there is no sun.
@@brendaalder1549yes supplement D harmed me along with k2
That's great ....which liquid vitamin do you use ?
This is why K2 MK7 is a must with vitamin D3
Of course! Thats what the 'experts' again say don't they? They nowadays have no problem quickly and easily confessing that they were wrong and pivot confidently to something else at no cost with a new set of believers/followers
Also, watch the sunscreens
They've only been out since the 1980s
Did you even watch the video? He literally addressed this saying K2 might not have much if any affect on calcification caused by D3 supplementation, whereas it does work with natural vitamin D from sunlight
@@brianmp7846 He is the only one out of many doctors to claim K2 does not help with calcification. So I don't trust that.

Medical Technologist here; as someone who runs laboratory tests for a living, make sure you measure mag and potassium within the RBC (RBC-Mg and RBC-K). Serum levels of Magnesium and Potassium are tightly regulated by the body and only used in acute settings, such as a therapeutic magnesium drip for birthing mothers.
How much potassium and magnetism should one have a day optimally?
@Miquel Biggs I had a Dr. On a site say that a 200lb man can use 800mg of magnesium per day. I currently use 800mg of magnesium bicarbonate made from carbonated water and magnesium oxide using a Soda Streamer. 1 teaspoon per liter. Add the magnesium after carbonation. Shake 90 times, refrigerate till clear, and shake again 90 times refrigerate till clear and it's ready to drink. Don't drink the left over powder on the bottom. This drink was recommended by Dr William Davis a cardiologist. Said it is very absorbable form of magnesium. Better than pills!
Most people are deficient.
Only for these two or for other minerals as well?
As I heard that RBC-Zinc is more reliable than serum zinc.
The problem with your thinking here is that while it's obviously ideal to obtain Vit D via natural sunshine - it is not achievable in the real world. Most people live and work indoors, many pulling night shifts, or have dark skin colours and live too far from the equator to get anywhere near enough sunshine - any time of the year. Or if they are outside they're wearing so much clothing or applying so much sunscreen, that almost no VitD is being produced anyways. Sure they might get the odd dose here and there on some weekends or on holiday, but this will be nowhere near enough.
And there is more to sunshine than VitD - there is the intracellular melatonin and mitochondrial ATP to consider as well. I fully accept that taking every opportunity to get full, unclothed exposure whenever the chance presents itself is a very worthwhile thing.
And the clip is useful in that it does address the importance of the co-factors. Magnesium and VitA & K2 being the critical ones. (Literally as I type this I'm soaking my feet in a concentrated Epsom salts footbath - for what it's worth.) It does underline the idea that regular blood work tests are definitely a good plan. I agree that any supplement in isolation has the potential to unbalance the system.
But to use this as justification NOT to supplement - when there is no practical alternative for most - is not helpful either. It just means there is more to it than unthinkingly swallowing the capsules.
@@Andromony Understood. It's much the same here in West Australia - if you are not outside regularly and gradually building a healthy tan slowly as the season builds - then I think you become much more prone to sunburn and skin damage if you suddenly get exposed during the hottest part of the day.
"ideal to obtain Vit D via natural sunshine - it is not achievable in the real world"
The ideal is not to deplete your vit D by eating sugar and other plant-nonsense.
Inuits were not getting much sun (in the winter none) but not only have they had no signs of vit D deficiency but were also very healthy compared to our western culture. It all changed suddenly as they started to eat our western diet, full of sugar, carbohydrates and seed oils and other plant nonsense.
All the sudden they started to suffer from all the diseases we have such as MIs, cancer, obesity, etc, etc.
I think that also as a part of our conscious evolution these things need to be brought up, and to point the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins D’s work in the body is important understanding to share.
And it it to each one of us at their own time to adjust our thinking and ways of living - to better harmonize with the nature , we are made of- instead of feeling that it’s unpractical advice for most modern lifestyles to get enough sunlight needed for a healthy body, while living on earth.
Whereas I do agree that many chronically deficient people have found help from supplements, that’s great. But we are at the next level of this understanding- namely how does nature does it better than the supplements, ‘cos it always does, when we take a moment to understand it better.
Let us not settle with the thought that our culture makes us sick, let’s become aware and change that culture : where there’s supposedly “no way or time” to receive sun/ or uv & red light therapy in the amount that is needed for a healthy body, and yes having good levels makes one better, but how much better would one feel if those levels were gotten from the sun.
It’s been said that A one 20min exposure of ones back to medium strong daytime sun, provides enough for a week or two) more is surely better, as long as one doesn’t let themselves get burned.
Most burns are your skin trying to expel the toxic. synthetic sunscreen ingredients.
Namaste.
@@thomaxtubeas he was saying: black skinned people need more sun exposure. Have you been to Africa? It would work for me to get enough sun on a regular basis over there, but in Northern Europe it’s difficult, now, mid September, it’s impossible. I’m considering though taking a tea spoon cod liver oil, changing the mg intake routine and lowering a bit the D3 supplement intake, maybe to 5k iu per day.
I live in Africa., So we have Sunlight 12 months of the year, and this is vital for serotonin too!
LUCKY MAN THAT 12 UV OVER POWERED FOR VIT MIN D PRODUCTION
I think the most useful study would be testing cholecalciferol (D) with a matching dose of retinol (A), active B complex, C and E (full spectrum), Omega 3 and adequate magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc against placebo. If all the parts are in place, the unit will perform as designed (other supplements used as may be needed). Test that against any diet.
Don't forget k2 mk7
Sunlight also sulphates cholesterol. This means it does not need a lipid like LDL for transport because this form of cholesterol is water soluble. So... if vitamin D3 supplements are NOT water soluble does it need a lipoprotein for transport, thereby increasing LDL? Good video BTW.
This is only a problem if you have a sulfate deficiency in which case there is very little D3 + sulfate binding. That being said many people are sulfate deficient because they do not eat sulfur rich foods or take N-Acetylcysteine(NAC) /Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)/ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) which are sulfate donors. This is why a good balanced diet is so important. Because of the co factors and how our bodies have evolved. The last 50 years our food intake is lacking so much so that it is messing up a system that took tens of thousands of years to create.
MSM is a calcium phosphate dissolver. In this way, it helps break down and prevent the accumulation of the bad calcium in the soft tissue (brain, kidneys, arteries, etc.) preventing calcification regarded as the root of many degenerative diseases (hardening of arteries, kidney stones, calcification of pineal glans, constipation, etc.). Other very important nutrients that help prevent calcification are Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Magnesium.
So if a person would take NAC along with a high dose D3+ Co-factors, would that solve the hypercalcemia and weird symptoms problem that comes with Vit-D3 supplementation?
i take 5 grams of MSM powder every day. is this too much?
@@shankar0cr just reduce your consumption of calcium
If you use a Vitamin D lamp. Try to use it outside in daylight even if cloudy. This way, skin exposure will have the balance of the other normal daylight frequencies which are not blocked by clouds or he angle of inclination of the sun in winter if that is the case where you live.

Using D lamps in the winter is therapy to get you to summer. Then do the right thing.
No lamps in the evening… it can mess up your circadian rhythms

I used to take cod liver oil from a clean source years ago since retiring, I may start that again to boost the D2 levels
Your video has a strong undercurrent that is more concerning without being alarming. For the short term, I will look into vitamin D light therapy. I'm working nights now, so I am taking vitamin D/k2. And when it comes to minerals, the only one I feel confident to go a little heavy on is magnesium bisglycinate.
I swear, health and nutrition are never easy
Try magnesium CITRATE
@@kathleenking47 I don't see the benefit of taking citrate over glycinate
@@homeofthegooddeal If you are prone to kidney stones then get citrate.
@@kathleenking47 Glycinate is a much better form. Citrate is ok if on a budget or its all you have access to
@@brianmp7846 glycinate is supposedly better and doesn’t have the laxative effect citrate can have. But, for me personally, I FEEL better on the citrate. It is my nightly ritual to sip a warm mug of it (which I’m actually enjoying right now). It definitely helps me sleep and I believe it’s why restless leg syndrome is no longer plaguing me at night.
Who actually gets sunshine 365 days a year to make vit d3. The people living in those places are darker skinned as well
Exactly. In central/mid Europe, only for very few months and then, only a few hours around noon, basically, give enough UV-B to produce adequate vit-D,
so the "get sun" advice is useless. It's a luxury attainable by people living in certain regions of the earth.
You don't need sun exposure everyday. Your body can store vit d3.
And have higher skin cancer rates

Why do you think nature designed the human body to take 20 times the dose of the needed amount of the vitamin? It sounds like the more the better.
I found some of your other videos to have things I didn't agree with, however, this is the best one I have seen, in fact, it is better than any of the other people's I have seen. Finally, someone isn't pushing the oral D thing, and understands what is going on with D.
I think that most of the people "pushing" oral vitamin D are doing so because the overwhelming majority of us cannot get adequate amounts from the sun most of the year. Even in the summer, most of us work during the day and cannot get exposure.

i like the questions posed. I personally have been supplementing with vitamin D and have had nothing but positives. Although I dont get the immediate mood boosting effects of sun, I have been overall happier with much much much better skin
I hope you're supplementing with Vitamin K2-MK7 and enough of it. The latest dosing of K2-MK7 is 100mcg per 1000i.u of D3. You can take more K2-MK7 as there are further benefits.
Otherwise if your doing D3 alone your setting yourself up for a heart attack as D3 allows the body to absorb 20 times more calcium. And it doesn't know where to go without K2 like your bones and teeth and not your arteries. I'd get a Coronary Artery Calcium score or CAC for short.
Sunlight is superior - Maybe just supplement during winter.
@John William I agree 👍 that the sun is superior, no doubt, but I also feel that a D3 level should be checked and then adjust to needs of what level you want to be at. I'm at 60ng using 5000i.u. in summer and 10000iu for winter.
It is amazing how much this can vary in people as my sister living in Florida was down to 2 ng this is obviously dangerous. A level greater than 20 ng is preferred.

Haven't watched the vid, but from the thumbnail just want to say:
1) Vitamin D is a vital nutrient to get sufficient levels of
2) Yes, Vitamin D from Sunlight is best, so do that if you can...
3) However, because of seasonal unavailability or time constraints supplementation may be needed, take K2, magnesium, and potassium as well for proper calcium utilization
4) 7000 is probably too high a maintenance dose; I find 5000 every 2 days seems to work for me as a maintenance dose when I can't get D from the sun
5) If you're unsure have your D levels checked by a lab to fine tune your dosage

Great video! I personally can’t take D3 even with K.
If I take D3 I develop lots of pain in joints and tissue.
That was an eye opener, and very good to know. The Sun is our friend!
Mine comes with K2, Boron, Zinc, etc. and have had no issues - it’s been incredibly useful and helpful to me actually as I barely get out much anymore since WFH.

Many of your key points, you did not back up with research studies. Are we just supposed to take your word for it? And there is not a widespread deficiency in serum potassium levels, else people would be dying. I will try and research some of your points myself, but overall I'm very skeptical. Btw, yes, getting vitamins (all vitamins) from natural sources is going to be superior to supplementation, but we need vitamin D supplementation during winter months when there simply is not sufficient UV radiation to generate adequate vitamin D (in the northern areas). Also, people need to be getting lab tests as there are several genes that, depending on what you are born with, will either make it easier to obtain adequate vitamin D levels or nearly impossible.

The thing is, "high dose" in this video likely means "extremely high dose", as in taking 50,000 IU per day without any other co-factors. Most people who supplement are on doses between 2000 and 10000 IU per day alongside all other co-factors. I'd say to most people who've done their research and supplement daily don't need to worry at all. Just don't superdose like an idiot, and if you decide to be that idiot, don't superdose without co-factors and don't do it for a long time.
High dose might be more in the range of over 3,000IU/day.

@@MyPronounIsGoddess i think you should be fine i was in the same boat as you but dont do what i did lol i started with 5000ui but bumped it up to 10 then 20 then i think i doubled it to 40 then doubled it to 80000 a day. so i would take 8 5000ui in the morning and another 8 in the night. started doing it since August of last year while taking sunlight at the same time 30min on some days not everyday. so once i went back to get my vitamin d tests results on september coming from a 23 deficit level to a 240 lvl oh i made it high lol so after that i think i lowered my dose to 20000 keep in mind i didnt search up how long the body holds these vitamin d lvls so the body cuts your vitamin d lvls in half in 15-30 days now if you take in mind that daily you take in vitamin D it will just keep adding up until you stop taking it. so i didnt know that and kept taking it just lowered my dosage. comes this year and i said let me up my dose since its almost may the month being people who have autoimmune diseases have flares because of low vitamin d lvls. so its march and im smoking my cbd weed for inflammation reasons see im struggling with something possibly Progressive MS that im trying to get diagnosed since 2 years now in 2021 started having muscle weakness burning feeling in my muscles and im pretty much losing usage of specific muscles on my left side mostly so i have gone to neurologist getting checked for MS and ALS but no signs because the tests show nothing so im still struggling. anyways high lvls of Vitamin D helps. But on March my body just started having like Chills like IM very cold but im not my muscles were just uncontrollably shaking like if a was freezing so i stopped taking everything even eating eggs is when i notced it happen after and eggs have vitamin D too. so it did go away. and i was thinking it was Probably vitamind D but im not sure just last month started feeling some shiver in my core but i havent taken any vitamin D or sunlight so im wondering if the vitamin D lvls ever go down or what might be going on now, so ill probably do some Blood tests this month to figure it out. while sober i can manage it but if i was high no chance. just so you know all these neurological problems have been happening after i got Covid in December of 2020 in May of 2021 is when my first muscle weakness started and those first muscles today are pretty worthless i can only use them to hold me but not really contract sadly. anyways dont do what i did getting more problems then what i already have. just stick to 4000 or 5000. and if you are gonna be exposed to sunlight that day then dont take any.

Thank you for contextualizing vitamin D supplementation. There are so many YT personalities spreading preposterously overblown and extreme dosage recommendations that it is really confusing.
I have gleaned all of the cofactor information you mention from sources over the last few years, but no one has come close to your thoroughgoing and approachable contextual overview. It is nuanced and that is precisely what we need more of around supplementation of vitamins.
Yet you are here and taking advice from another random guy
@@arcomarco7131 No. Use your dictionary. I don't seek advice, and this video offers none. What I pursue is contextual understanding. Trolls can't grok such things. Best to remain silent if you don't have anything pertinent or useful to say.
Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin. It is a hormone and a hormonal precursor that the body requires. Thus it is essential.
@ivermec-tin666 "What I pursue is contextual understanding" from UA-cam?

" so now you're the one who will define usefulness for the whole internet? Ok, then please tell me how your comment is more useful than mine?" It is a hormone " to be precise, it is a secosteroid with an endocrine mechanism of action.
Too many studies have attested for 10.000 IUs a day being safe from calcification taken for years. So were are the studies you quote? And not everybody loves in the sun all day.
I guess it's just a mechanistic guess. It "could" happen. You would need a study over 10 years which controls for Vit D intake AND sun exposure. Doesn't exist.
The studies I'm aware of (this one for example: academic.oup.com/jcem/article/105/4/1261/5634116) measured the risk of calcium excess based on blood tests, which will be the last place where it shows up. Analyzing nutrient status based on blood tests comes with some serious down sides. More on this here: ua-cam.com/video/q7hJ5M0H_4k/v-deo.html

I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and my primary care doctor had to prescribe a very high dose of vitamin D for a month. After taking the prescription of vitamin D for a month, my level was back at normal so I’d think that either the prescription or lower doses of the vitamin D supplement should have worked despite we were recommended to bath in the sun in which either folks don't have the time or afraid of getting skin cancer.

To my understanding Cofactors like Magnesium are not used up. It is true that you need high magnesium levels to make high vitamin D supplementation work, but it doesnt deplete magnesium. It is set free again after the chemical reaction where it acts as a cofactor.

Vit. D3 supplements are phenomenal. I used to get sinus infections 2-3x per year until I cranked up my Vit. D3 supplementation to 20,000 IU per day (with K2 and magnesium too). Then I increased my D3 to 30,000 IU per day, and I literally have not had more than a sniffle in two years.
Not all of us live in the Sunbelt. Vit. D3 supplements are cheap and they work.

doesn't the supplemental form get sulfated at some point?
"Sulfating activity on 25(OH)D3 has been found in the liver, kidney, lung and small intestine, and on D3 in the liver."
maybe this means that supplemental form gets sulfated if needed?
Some people have no choice but to supplement D3, K2 & magnesium should help to prevent calcium build up?
Magnesium isn't as finicky as potassium to the heart. Generally I supplement about 1/6 the potassium as I do magnesium now. And more salt too coz I sweat freely and potassium doesn't come out in sweat.

I agree with most what you are saying in your video, however what you haven't covered is the mathematical aspect on how many mg/ml of vitamin d is normal and the conversion to IU for supplementation to have the optimum level.

@@nursen2106 Here is the math on how much Vitamin D you need daily. A healthy level is 40-60 ng/ml, this equals around 1.8 IU's, your body has an average of 5000ml of blood. 5000ml x 1.8 = 9000 IU's, absorption rate is between 60-80%, you would need to take at least 10000 IU's a day. To have some kind of overdose, you would need to take 100000's every day for several month.
I totally agree, I live in Michigan, and every doctor here recommends that people supplement with vit D. Too much cloud cover, and it seems the sun isn't as powerful as it is in Florida.
How long does the whole process take once exposed to UVB rays? For example, once I go outside and the sun exposes my skin to UVB rays --> Does this instantaneously created pre-vitamin D? How long does it take the pre-vitamin D to be converted to sulfated cholecalciferol? How long does it take the Liver to convert this to 25(OH)D? How long does it then take the kidneys to produce this to 1,25(OH)2D? Thanks

What about supplementing Vitamin D for a few months in the winter but going off it in the summer when we get more sun?
Wonderful advice. Maintain vitamin D around 40 to 50 ng/ml and always take the supplement with fat for better absorption. With the hype for various supplements at various periods, always understand that over consumption is dangerous specially for fat soluble ones that is stored in the body. People are always confused with lots of promotion from persons who are either sponsored by companies or who sell their own products. Great message Sir.

a friend of mine takes the same dossage as you for at least 6 years. she is 74 now. when she went to a doctor because of her heart rate and feeling uneasy etc. the doctor told her, of course, your heart is calcified. but then she paid the extra money, hat a calc-scan, and it turned out, not a single bit of calc there. the reason for her issues was a cronique lack of iron (because she is vegan and did not pay attention to her intake in that regard). with diet adjustments and a replenishment effort, after only two weeks, she felt the difference. nothing wrong with her heart by calc.

K2 is supposed to direct calcium away from soft tissue into bones. Quite strange that it had the opposite affect.
This natural sun light theory is a great advice but in the end all it is a theory. It’s just not a viable solution. Most people don’t have access to sunny days all year around or even if they do they just don’t have the time to make sure they get their dose of Vitam D daily .
It’s a lot more to this sun exposure for example you got to make sure you have a light perspiration from sun exposure in order to get the full benefits of proper absorption and metabolism.
In the end a good brand of D proper dosing and monitoring plus MK7 trumps natural sunlight unless you live on sunny island and you are chilling in the sun every day 😁
So adding k2 made calcification in heart, r u sure? I mean have u been tested, or just from symptoms?
@@ccaselli7 no, what I meant (or I thinks this is what happened) when I took D3 for months, calcium accumulated in my arteries, then why I added K2, fir some reason, my arteries were blocked to a certain percentage. I took Statins which relived me at bit but still, but now when I take K2, I feel my arteries are blocking again, so now, I only take D3 with K2 every about 4 days.
Unfortunately, like many claims, there are many studies that say the opposite with this one does done by Harvard being one. He also doesn’t differentiate the quality of the vitamin D supplement. You’re taking as not all of them are equal by far specially whole Food, vitamin D . Bioavailability of the supplement is always a key thing that very few really go deep into which is strange.
This is why this landscape of never ending contradictions because of skewed studies are unreliable and continually change conclusions..its making people neurotic
Very interesting video. It would be more valuable if your sources were provided.
One thing I’ll mention. Although you’re well spoken and obviously informed, many (not only you) refer to studies that may or may not be any good. It was studies that taught the masses that saturated fat clogged your arteries. And today most should know this is patently untrue. It was studies that were behind the creation of the now ever changing diabetic creating food pyramid. And on it goes like this. A person needs to really critically research past studies, influencers and the like. It’s not an easy feat.
i agree. these studies often aren't very sound.
This video is not specific to Vitamin D3, it studies vitamin D in general, but he is correct in saying everybodies needs in different. I have trouble converting beta-carotene to an active Vitamin A and must get in animal form, I also have issues with Vitamin D3 levels.
I've never figured out how people can get vitamin d wearing clothes.
I've asked this question to youtube "advisors" but never get an answer .
You only get vitamin D from the sun, through parts of your body that are exposed to the sun. Clothing blocks vitamin D intake

Ugh. Sunscreen is poison. You must get sun. It is not the enemy.
It is your diet that determines how your skin responds to sun. Get rid of all seed oils -they are poison, and eat lots of berries.
Many people with "sensitive skin" report being able to stay in sun for long periods without burning once they ditched seed oils. This includes the supposed "healthy" ones like sunflower, safflower, etc. Canola oil, soybean oil...all toxic to the human body.
Yiu can also drink bone broth for healthier looking skin (for collagen and other health benefits). Get collagen powder for smoothies. That's what is lacking in wrinkly skin. That and proper hydration. Put a little salt in your water so it gets into cells and is therefore more usable by your body.

10000 IU a day.
I've watched a friend die of melanoma at forty years old. Kinda makes you rethink the whole "beneficial rays" thing. Big time.
how about vitamin d fortified mushrooms (the ones sun dried or kept under a uvb lamp for 6 hours) as a natural supplement, would they be helpful, or will they cause complications as well?
Mushrooms exposed to sunlight, as a defence response synthase vitamin D2, not quite the same, but still maybe helpful.
Vitamin D at 5000IU/day started to give me minor calcification issues. I stopped the day I noticed the calcification issues on my skin. I wasn’t taking K2 at the time.
Nowadays, if I do supplement with vitamin D, it’s max 800 IU per day plus regular consumption of natto (about 400-600mcg of K2 mk7 per 50g package)

That many supplements are concentrated isolates of specific vitamins/minerals that our bodies don't recognize in order to assimilate them properly.

Is there such a supplement as Sulfated Vitamin D? Would that be the answer for those who live in the Northern Hemisphere who rarely see sunlight? If not what can we do?
That is the logical question, thanks for asking. Hope we get an answer.
What a refreshingly accurate analysis of vitamin D metabolism and the drawbacks of artificial supplementation. The vast majority of advocates of vitamin D supplementation completely ignore the issue of association vs causation and the fact that sunlight is a far safer, quicker and more effective method of boosting vitamin D levels. The point that vitamin D is also a steroid hormone is lost on these people as is the consequence, that like
steroids, supplemental vitamin D suppresses the immune system with symptomatic relief but counterproductive long term effects.
Great video. I would only say that besides a well balanced diet, the only supplement you really should be taking if any is Magnesium. You can get plenty of vitamin D naturally through sunlight exposure with a sufficient diet. But Magnesium is the only challenging nutrient to get hold of (unless you are Plant Based diet, in which case b12, iron, vitamin A, and other nutrients will be hard to access bioavailability wise). The only way to consume sufficient amount of magnesium which goes in high doses with potassium together naturally is through diet consisting of bananas and legumes. Lentils have high levels of magnesium and potassium as well as potatoes and bananas. That means if you want to avoid supplements all together, you have to get all of your carbohydrate sources through whole food diets rich in those nutrients (little room or any for deserts and etc, unless maybe raw honey). If you are keto or carnivore, getting these nutrients is outside of my expertise so I would assume it would be sufficient in terms of consuming nuts and lots meat organs that might posses adequate levels so long as the meats are grassfed on a rich soil. Ultimately if any supplement that would be taken otherwise in an optimal diet would be Magnesium Citrate specifically as the preferred bioavailable source, ideally before bedtime with a small meal 3 to 5 hours prior or on empty stomach otherwise as the magnesium in pure form will cause drowsiness and natural relaxation.
My suspicion that older people start having joint, neck, and muscle aches due to the fact that their magnesium levels are insufficient causing stiff muscles and lack of recovery. As someone who is in his mid 30s I noticed the moment I supplement or consume a high magnesium diet, these issue go away immediately and I am able to recover overnight and perform much better as the magnesium actually relaxes the muscles to their natural state in combination with potassium for firing. Make sure to consume adequate calcium as well if you are fitness lifestyle.
PS. forgot to add that you can get magnesium through mineral water, so you have to consume ALL of your liquid intake through mineral water only to get it "naturally" without the need for supplementation of any kind.
You can get ionic magnesium in liquid form. And add it to water and/or beverages. There are other trace minerals too, depending on the natural source.
I've seen Vitamin D lamps reviewed online, and while many people said their mood was better using these devices, they did not claim that their Vitamin D levels increased. What should one be looking for in these lamps, UVB bulbs? How safe are these? Have you already done a video on this topic?
You rised very good points. Thank you
What's the best way to detox vitamin D3 out of the body?
i had plenty of sunlight without suncreme in midday sun on naked skin the whole summer for at least 30 mins, i had good tan , looked like a solarium guy, but my D levels where 15ng/ml in late summer, thats a bad deficiency.
later i did take high dose vitamin D , didnt bring it up much.
then later i took high dose magnesium and potassium and i supplemented like 5000 iu every other or otherother day and my blood levels of D where 88ng/ml after a few weeks.
So the Mg and K helped stabilize the D higher
@@DrCorvid idk, maybe
very truu , i experience serious problems taking 50.000 week
Meeting daily magnesium requirements is a must when supplementing with vitamin d3 k2 also is necessary to an extent
The problem with superdosing sunlight is sunburn, and even with doing that, in the PNW you can only make about 10% of your vitamin D if you bask in the sun for four hours. We need to supplement as well. You're welcome...I buy D3 by the bag in bulk.
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your knowledge in a factual, systematic way 🙏. I wish I had seen this years ago. I've gotten to the point of super calcified joints and tendons due to unsupervised intake of highdose Vit D over +4 years. Is there a chance for a follow-up video where you might explain how to treat this? Beyond the obvious (stopping all Vit D supplements, no calcium-containing foods (or God forbid, supplements). What treatment should I seek?
I know it is my fault or arriving in this situation (in response to a stupid medical recommendation that I followed blindly), please don't come at me in the comments for this, I've already cried enough over this. I live in the UK and the GPs in my area (bless them) are useless. They've registered my immensely high Vit D levels in the blood and when I asked for help, they said: Well, there's no upper limit for Vit D, so it's not a concern qualifying me for another appointment or treatment 🙈. But my levels are 250 nmol/l vit D and they said since there's no upper limit, it's fine 🤦♀.
I've heard there are some saline injections (or something like this) that can help dissolve calcium deposits. Is this right?
Thank you so much for any help. I know we shall not seek medical advice online, but a video on 'treatments' or what the common route for recovery is would be super helpful 🙏. At least I'd know what to ask for.
Hello, Cathrine! First of all, it's not your fault at all! People trust their medical doctors and professional health advisors as the ones who have, or should have, legit and correct knowledge to guide them, as well as to admit that there are no reliable studies and conclusions available on a certain topic, and also be able to correlate clinical symptoms and exams results to guide themselves in the investigation of the root problems and finally their correct treatment - it's a complex work and we, lay people on medical subjects, can never be blamed or blame ourselves for not being able to perform this work, even in theory, or to supervise those who are in charge of the work.
The problem with health care around the world is systemic and deep and its root cause is the economic system we all are sunk in, that puts profit above everything and generates harm, from toxic medications to bad health professionals and networks - and the solution for that is a big massive table turning conducted by the people.
Meanwhile, I believe that what you have to do now to solve your current problems and get your health back on track is to search and look for good doctors, they exist, you will find them, and only them can really help you with the correct treatment you need now - even if you have to hop from doctor to doctor until you find the one or ones who are really serious and dedicated to the patients and to clinical investigation - now you are armed with more knowledge and experience and it will definitely help you to evaluate, by what these professionals are saying or not saying, by how they treat you, look at you, listen to you, if they are reliable or not. I'm sure you'll be successful in your journey and you'll have a healthy and happy life! 😙
@@marcia.reeverCC Thank you so much for your thoughtful, kind and encouraging reply, Marcia 🙏. I'm really, really grateful! I'll try my best to search for other/more doctors to find one who can help, as I don't think it's something I can conquer myself or by relying on the body's own regeneration, alone. Thank you so much for bringing back a heap of humanity, sanity and care into this world and system. Sending you much gratitude and blessings 🙏🕊!
@@cathrineii696 Thank you very much, Catherine! You'll be fine, I'm sure! You're on the right path with the right mind and knowledge - all you experienced until now will be your lighthouse to guide you safely to your health! ☺
Vitamin K2 is suppose to put the calcium where it should go, you get it from leavy greens.
@@esecallum I had a few different products over the course of 4 years, but mostly the +5.000 - 7.000u daily🙈 I know🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. Plus, not knowing I had a Vit D rich diet, so I was by no means deficient in the first place. I had just the Vit D3 for a while, and for about 2 years the Vit D3+ K2 (same dose). Any ideas you may have on how to get rid of calcific deposits, I'd deeply appreciate
Thank you for making this video. I think a lot of the comments did not realize you are not against vd supplements - but just cautioning people to proceed vs cautions, especially for long term high dosage supplements.
My question is, if you are getting vd from the sperti lamps, do you also need to supplement with the cofactors?
How do we make Vitamin D from the sun when they spray the sky every day? I live in the desert and we barely get sun, it’s always “cloudy “.
1. But what about skin cancer from sun beds and sun light?
2. Why vitamin K2 supplement doesn't work miraculously like in Dr. Weston A. Price’s cases?
3. Is it possible that fish oil supplements work just like D3 supplements in case of suppressing immune system, and may not be that good longterm?
what is super dosing for you? 400iu 4000iu, 40000iu, give us a number!
Really differs from person to person. I have seen people who get serious side effects from 1000 IU/day. But then again, my videos are meant for people who are sensitive to side effects and don't find answers elsewhere. How much you should (or shouldn't supplement) always depends on your nutrient status, which I talk about in more detail here: ua-cam.com/video/q7hJ5M0H_4k/v-deo.html
Thank you for information, only thing I would add is best time for UV sun exposure for vitamin D , very little UV light in the morning. Morning at 7am to 9am is when I get 15 minutes to 30 minutes of red light therapy from sun with skin exposed. Inferred light can penetrate clothing and target body I think, up to 1.5 inches . Like he said do your own research 🙄 lol
Getting up EARLY..and getting sun LATE may help
No midday sun
THEN sunscreens may work
Everyone says "do your own research" meaning read stuff other people have posted. There are a myriad of ideas and so called "research" out there and we're all getting lost in the soup.
@@gardeniainbloom812 It may feel overwhelming at times so educate yourself as best you can, find a good holistic practioner, get tested at least once a year. nobody knows your body like yourself unless you give up that right
It's only thing I can think of that caused my shoulder tendon calcification! I took usually 6000IU often with K2 MK7 variant and my White cells reduced too
For our own knowledge, do you get sufficient vitamin A, and minerals potassium and magnesium?
@@justinhale5693 yes, with me it works not well . Since I had long COVID my body reacts differently I think
