Love your videos. Taking notes now on supplements. Following Keto diet now. Me and husband have lost 15 lbs. SO FAR. More to go. Less bloating and joint pain. Thank you for caring.
I dont know how to go back to my previous questions for the answers. gallagherkelleys@gmail I started fasting the 16/8 right away. Hasnt really fiven me hunger pangs. I did only start keto about 3 weeks ago. 1 year ago I started a high protein diet and lost a lot of weight. I like the keto better because I feel more full. How will it affect me if I continue the 16/8 IF even though I did that right away? I need to lose 30 more pounds.
I was a vegan for a few years and on many, many supplements but beings I've been keto and transitioning to carnivore, I've thrown out so many in fear of over doing it because I'm getting better nutrition from the food I eat. I can't express how much better I feel!! Thank you, Dr Berry.
@@judybrown1810 I take the same. 25000 IU twice weekly. My last test showed that my serum level of Vitamin D3 is 51 ng/ml which I thought was a good thing. But my endo's nurse told me to go easy on any vit D supps as 51ng/dl was getting close to 'dangerously high'!? Anybody who can tell me if she (the nurse) is right? I thought we were all routinely lacking in vit D? Also, I cannot find any 'official' upper limit, only that yr serum level should be above 30 ng/ml. So I don't get it...
The best way to get nutrition. nutrition ivs and nutrition injections myers cocktail iv, nad+iv, vitamin d injection, gluadathione iv and coq10 injection. way better then supplements. they been aroundd since the 1950s and thats what pro athletes and rich people use year round to stay healthy.,,
Vitamin D: Critical for overall health and hormone production. He recommends 2,000 to 5,000 IU daily, particularly for those far from the equator. Magnesium: Many people are deficient in magnesium, which regulates bodily functions. He suggests 250-500 mg of magnesium citrate or glycinate, ideally at bedtime. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Essential for those not on a ketogenic or high-fat diet. He advises 2-3 grams of fish oil daily. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Particularly important for those on multiple medications. Dosage can range from 100 to 800 mg depending on prescription usage. Zinc: Helpful for men’s testosterone regulation and for those with reduced taste or smell. He recommends 25-50 mg daily. B-Complex Vitamins: Necessary for vegetarians or those not eating enough quality meat. He advises a supplement with 1,000 mcg of B12. Vitamin K2 (MK4 form): Aids in bone health, and with vitamin D, can help prevent osteoporosis. The recommended dose is 200 mcg daily.
3:00 I love the humor you throw in. I've learned a great deal about nutrition watching your videos. That sarcasm makes it feel like you're getting these tips from an old friend.
KenDBerryMD are all of these you mention here needed daily and long term ... I WISH I’ve only spent hundreds on supplements... been more like thousands and I am so confused on what we need long term. All I know is I feel like hell
Does seizure medication deplete coq10 as well? My husband takes a total of 6 seizure pills as well as a beta blocker and bp pill. How many mcg would you suggest...
Would be really helpful to have specific product recommendations rather than “ you need 50 mg of magnesium “ etc. I heard most vit pills don’t even get absorbed and pass right through. I still have little clue on what to actually buy for better health. So many adds etc I don’t trust.
@@paolac.1678 anyone who takes supplements should spend a few more bucks and subscribe to Consumer Labs (consumerlab.com), they will inform you of adulterants in product, potency and accuracy of label claims.
Thank you Dr. Berry! Your videos are extremely informative. I have been sharing your channel with friends and family. 💯 For all, here's a summary of the supplements: Vitamin D3: 2000 - 5000 IU per day Magnesium: 250 - 500mg per day (take at night) Omega-3s: 2 - 3 grams per day CoEnzyme Q10: 100 - 200mg per day Zinc: 25 - 50mg per day B Complex: 1000mcg per day Vitamin K2: 200mcg (MK4)
I was just told by Swanson's Supplements that 2-3 grams of Omega -3's is a ton and should seek advice from my priimary care doctor before taking that much!!! It adds up to 6-9 capsules!!!!
As a retired medical transcriptionist, thank you for speaking clearly. If humans are doing your transcription, they love you. If done by computers, they could care less. Anyway, my question is about cinnamon for blood sugar control. Your views? Thank you and congratulations on the birth of your baby!
Dr. Berry. Every time I hear you speak makes me want to move close to you and have you as my doctor thank you for all the knowledge you bring to us all.
Dr. Berry what abiut copper, as zinc depletes it. I have been advised to take 1200mg calcium per day for osteoporosis, I am taking Jarrow bone up that includes 1000 calcium per day. Am I doing the right thing
Dr Berry you dont answer every one of the questions in the comments as you claimed you would in this video, it would understandably consumer all of your time.....You are an excellent source of health information and we appreciate your channel but smoke and mirrors to encourage viewer engagement with your videos with a flase notion that you'll answer all questions is beneath you as you are a highly intelligent and very credible person on so many levels. UA-camrs all know viewer engagement helps the channels and algos but please make good on your pledges..So many questions here have gone unanswered.
I started keto back in January and I was 245 lbs, 6'2 tall. I was taking Januvia once a day and 1 gram of metformin twice a day. I was on 4 blood pressure meds every day. As a result of keto and a daily walk I am down to 172 lbs, and am completely off all diabetic medications. I am only taking 1 BP medication. I had surgery in 2008 and had most of my thyroid removed so I have to take levothyroxine but it and the 1 bp med are the only medications I take.
Great list Dr. Berry, I would to suggest 2 others. For K2 - wk7 version has a better half-life than wk-4 (I take both - Liver is the best), current studies of K2 are of higher doses (0.2mg+). Not sure why this one wasn't considered essential, most people do not get enough Boron in their diet. It is involved in many processes, and taken in moderate amounts with your suggested list will provide many benefits (Strong Bones - No Osteopenia, Reverse Arthritis, Increase D Serum levels, and Testosterone)

I already take all of these but the single biggest effect for me, having psoriatic arthritis, was standardized turmeric with black pepper. My little fingers used to stay sore almost as if broken and my other finger joints were frequently inflamed and painful but when I started taking turmeric the pain left my hands and never came back. I can lift weights, write, etc. with zero pain. Love your channel Dr. Berry!
@@jackstewart2504 I take 3 capsules @500 mg each as a maintenance dose every 24 hours. Make sure you get the 95% curcuminoids standardized version with bio-Perine (black pepper) to help with absorption. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory! When I started taking it, I took one 1500 mg dose every twelve hours and within a few days the pain was gone. Since it's just a spice, common yellow curry, you can also cook with it if you like curry flavor. Really good in a creamed chicken and rice sauce. Good luck!
Sir I just found your Channel I think because I'm on a ketogenic diet and I ran into you through the recommended videos I just want to say thank you and I tip my hat to you for putting a summary in your UA-cam video. Being disabled it is so much easier to read the summary in the description and then watch the video. Any way keep up the good work I really appreciate you being here!

Love your videos. So informative. When do you take your supplements and what combo's should be avoided? Everyday we hear of more and more supplements we should be taking as we age. Vitamin C, L- Lycine, E, Niacin, Selenium. When does it become too much? Thanks
Dr Berry my husband and I have been following you for yrs. My hubby is your #1 fan!!! This year my sugar addict self decided to do NO processed sugars in 2023!!! I got so much flack. Hubby and I have done 30-40 days 0 sugars and 4 month carnivore a few years ago with amazing results but we have never tried 1 yr. Feeling our best already! His arthritis is gone, my brain fog is gone, better night sleep, dropping weight, reflexes are quick (I never thought that would happen!) And skin has already cleared up. Not doing fruits yet! Only focused on no processed sugars but people think I am going to die. They never worried when I ate chemical laden snicker bars and poptarts! Now they think I am dying. Well, on the road to recovery. I don't want to ever go back! Here is my problem! I love hamburger and eggs - those give me the most energy almost whinin a minute of eating... but my stomach has shrunk and I can't eat very much because I fill up so fast. I am concerned I am not getting enough vitamins so I take vitamins. I don't want to overtake them either. You mentioned if we ate a meat dense diet we should be getting the nutrients we need. What would you say is the amount needed for someone who can only eat 2 small meals a day. I loved doing 24 hr fasting then eat, but I am no longer doing that because I can only eat a fistful of meat or eggs most days. Hubby and I have lost weight but that isn't the goal here, being healthy is... then the body will lose. It took us years to realize that. Also what do you recommend for someone with a cold to add in more magnesium and zinc? How much? Thanks for all you do!!!
I love all your messages, my emergency room doctor died of leukemia so I don’t have the access that I used to have but I am a great reader later in my life and you, Dr. Berg and Dr. Mendel are pretty much all I listen to. I thank you for all your hard work and discoveries. I have Neuropathy and I do take the vitamin B 1 and alpha Lipo acid 600 mg seems to be working fine with the tingling and sometime sharp pains in my feet. I have no diabetes and 84 1/2 I actually have no other ailments. Very very fortunate very very good bloodline as well parents live to be in their 90s grandparents late 90s. So I know some of that works. Also realize we had lots of healthy foods growing up with big gardens and grandparents that I own beehives and cattle ranches. I know it plays a big part. OK thanks again.
I'm taking collagen, biotin, grape seed complex, glucosamine potassium an I'm 65yrs old. I have arthritis and eat low carb also take a multi vitamin. I want to thank you for all the great information!!! 🙂
sorry to hear that. you need another good source of vit d. cod liver oil capsules are a good source. you would also then get your omega 3 and vit a for the day. also grass fed butter (kerrygold) would give you vits A D E K
What about potassium supplements? I know that we can get potassium from leafy greens and salads, but I can't eat too much of them due to IBS. Recently I started eating a few salads and leafy greens a day, trying to get healthier, and I had the worst IBS attack in years! Thank you Dr. Berry for taking the time to do all these videos.. you're really helping a lot of people!!
I also take iodine supplement. I have been for several years and can’t remember the reason. Am I wasting my money? Also, I’ve read that kombucha and kefir are the best way to get your probiotics. I’ve been making homemade kombucha for a few years now and love it! I have had no intestinal issues since beginning to drink kombucha on a regular basis.
Taking a supplement that delivers 500 mcg/day of iodine (e.g. kelp capsules) can support an underactive thyroid (which is quite common). Just be cautious if your underactive thyroid is a symptom of Hashimoto's (an autoimmune disease in which your body is attacking its own thyroid gland). In this situation taking iodine is not recommended. You can get tested for Hashimoto's with thyroid antibody tests.
Dr. Berry, I have learned sooo much listening to you. Appreciate your straight forward style and use you as a reference for "all things"! I was told to take Lipoic acid to relieve my feet burning at night. I am 67, weigh 118/5' in height- not diabetic. Following a ketogenic/carnivore diet- for the most part. Thanks in advance for your help!
Also the Lord Jesus Christ will lead and guide you on your journey to staying healthy 😊process foods too much sugar and gluten trans fat do little for our health. I am not a big fan of red meats as study show the link to most chronic illnesses.
Thanks for the confirmation lol. I've been taking most of the supplements you mentioned since my early 40s. I'm 51 now and I feel great. 10 years ago I was 50 pounds overweight, had elevated blood pressure and a terrible lipid profile, but after both of my parents died within 2 years, from cancer and heart disease, I decided to get my sh*t together. Below is the list of supplements (and the brands) I currently take each day. I sometimes change brands if I learn about a better option in my research. I try to only take the highest quality supplements available, based on lab analysis and customer feedback. They can be expensive, but it's worth it to know it's pure and effective and not just some synthetic garbage that you'll pee out in 10 min. 1. Multivitamin - Xtend-Life Total Balance Premium 2. Magnesium Complex - MagEnhance 3. Coenzym Q10 - Qunol Ubiquinol (ubiquinol is the better form of CoQ10 and is FAR better absorbed in the body than regular CoQ10) 4. Omega 3 - Sports Research Total Omega 3 5. Vitamin D3/K2 - Sports Research 6. Vitamin C - American Health Ester-C with Bioflavonoids 7. Niacin - Solgar Vitamin B3 8. Probiotic - Now Foods 10, 25 billion CFU
@@blueblack1997 I try to take only the most respected brands, which can get expensive (I spend about $120 /month on supplements), but it's well worth it to me. Honestly, my diet isn't great. I do try to avoid processed foods altogether, but I don't deny myself the foods I love, even the fatty unhealthy ones. I am trying to improve my diet though, but even as it is, my vitals are still good. Yes I forgot to mention that I do take Probiotic-10, 25 billion CFU from Now foods 1 or 2 x daily between meals. I edited my original comment to include brands I prefer, which changes periodically based on new research and online feedback from people who use them.
@@dannymartinez8522 I am male, but we're all different so you may need different supplements or dosages than me, depending on your current health and other factors.
So far I have kicked nicotine, refined sugar, gluten, alcohol, now I'm after lactose. It's a long road! I was wondering . . . . . is it only the lactose in those grains or is it the whole thing? I was in an accident that left me with a pretty nasty spinal injury and the label in-valid ! When the pain hits my brain . . well, say no more. But . . . when it does I can't eat, sometimes for days. So I have gotten used to fasting. I'm too poor for the meat . . . so ditto for that. What you say makes a lot of sense. I'm also after Inflammation as I think that is what slows me down the most. Needless to say (especially to you) the whole lot has led me straight to Keto . . . I like your genuine honesty and personal style. I am taking on board what you recommend (that I don't already do) and I'm looking forward to even less pain. Thank you for your invaluable knowledge.
3TapSnu 0ut Probiotics help a lot in restoring the gut. You probably took a lot of medicines for the accident which can damage the gut and create lots of sensitivities, weakness and toxins in the body.
Dr. Berry, when you mentioned about Zinc and testosterone.. I was wondering about women with PCOS who have too much testosterone.. Should we take Zinc?
I felt like sheet 20 - 30 years ago, process of elimination came up with "chronic fatigue" ie they couldn't find anything. So I have been reading about this stuff for years and agree with your list. Now @ 76 I am off all prescription medicines. Systolic BP around 130 or a little above but stable so I let that be. I am surprised you didn't include any "brain enhancers" though. Having a wife with with AD, diagnosed 5 years ago and still at home I have an interest. Probably the one you could have included is curcumin [bacopa and ginko also help] and changed the magnesium compound to magnesium L-theonate [expensive though]. I also cook in coconut oil which has a high fuming point. But an excellent list. I hope people hear the message re D3 and K2. Osteo is a terrible thing, it condemned my beautiful MIL to a wheelchair and eventually stroke when, knowing what we know now, it could have been prevented.
I'd advise to do research on insulin resistance, mct oil and Alzheimer. You can find UA-cam's with specific info on this subject. The disease is also called diabetes 3.If your lady became insulin resistant, her brains lack glucose fuel. In that case her brains may live up with another fuel, mct oil. Osteoporosis: use boron, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7). Proteins are also required for stronger bones. Pls let me know if I can help.
Great video Dr Berry!..It would be great if other doctors would listen to your videos to help open their minds to some common sense medicine that served the nation until the pharmaceutical world took over. I realize there is a need for some pharmaceuticals at the right times but the overuse in medicine is doing more damage than good.
Hey Doc, I wonder if you have an updated version of this list? I have been reading the ingredients on these and they have seed oils in them. Recently we have learned how unhappy these oils can make our bodies (inflammation) Anything to worry about here?
I had been taking a b complex vitamin but had been experiencing a variety of nasty symptoms that I had thought might suggest a need for more thyroid hormone supplementation...crushing fatigue, depression, GERD, heart fluttering, insomnia, finally terrible muscle cramps in my feet and toes. My wonderful internist did a lot of blood tests and finally found the problem...very low plasma thiamine levels. A few days of b1 and benefotiamin supplements totally eradicated all the problems. My ketovore diet just didn't do it without supplements. I suspect my age--64-- made my absorption less than ideal. I am so relieved to have been able to identify it!
@@stephieg.2580 It didn't. It simply was not able to supply me with an adequate level of B1--thiamine. I was ill because of a thiamine deficiency...which I'm reading is far more common than most realize.
Hi, should we avoid taking vitamins that contain soybean oil, corn oil, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide? Thanks for the wonderful information.
Dr. Berry, I'm confused... in the video you specify taking the MK-4 type of Vitamin K2, but the link above is for an MK-7 type. Also, A number of other videos have favored the MK-7 variety, as it has a longer half-life. Thanks so much for all you do!
The MK-4 in supplements is synthetic version. MK-7 is the exact same K2 you would get if you actually ate Japanese natto, which many folks find to be an unpalatable food & also lasts/works much longer in the body ;-)
They do slightly different things supposedly with some overlap. See Chris Masterjohn. Mk-7 is supposed to be esoecially good for the bones. Mk-4 for the brain. I take both. My autistic daughter is doing fantastic on 1 or 2 drops of Thorne's mk-4. I have no idea why but I welcome it. Mk-7 did nothing for her mood and behavior.
I’ve been on the full carnivore diet not keto for 13 days now been following my blood work my testosterone has doubled since starting this diet went from low 200’s up to high 400’s and man do I feel better !!! I was eating what most would consider a healthy diet according to the SAD diet no sugar low carbs but suffered with low T for years it was all I could do to get off the couch once I got off work now I get home go outside work in the yard and I’m finding pleasure in life again I even feel more attractive it’s really a miracle , I know it sounds like I’m selling snake oil but I can’t say enough about this diet
Dr Berry, I just found your channel and it's great!! I was surprised you didn't mention Vit A, C and E. Good? Bad? Are they needed? I had always thought large does of E helped protect the heart and of course Vit C helps to ward off colds. Are those myths?
David Holliday I think his point was that we should be able to get these easily from a healthy ketogenic diet. Those listed are ones we should be prepared to supplement as there is a greater likelihood of being deficient in them.
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2.
mwdickens K2 from MK7 Natto. This video explains it. Dr. Berry dud a review on her book and gave it a thumbs up 👍 ua-cam.com/video/Y_pa7AR7l6s/v-deo.html
Thanks for your effort Doctor, but I think you forgat one of the most important elements which most of the people are deficient in which is Iodine, which can lead to some serious problems!
ah yes i just mentioned that too, they have to learn which one to take & how to dose etc... also. some meds & situations may not mix well with iodine as it seems to raise blood pressure & heart rate
Sea weed or kelp is good for iodine. Any fish or shellfish from the ocean will contain iodine. Also if you live near a coastline iodine shouldn’t be a concern.
Zinc intake over 50 mg will start to deplete copper. To much copper will start to deplete zinc. They need to be taken in a balanced dose. To much zinc can be toxic.
I would be very interested in the collagen powder or pills information. The look into the products available it looks like there is the types, hydrolyzed versus regular, not to mention the sources of the collagen. Apparently each type has a particular purpose, marine(fish) is higher quality source, and hydrolyzed is the easier form to absorb into the body, the type I have found is in conflict of whether it is actually applicable.
Dr. Ken Berry,What is the name of the good probiotic supplement that you recommend for people like me who have eczema.When ever I have any probiotic from milk like yogurt or capsule (I took just one capsule) with lactobacilli my eczema flares up and becomes much worse.I have purchased but not yet tried a probiotic called Align distributed by Procter and Gamble Inc. which has only one probiotic: Bifidobacteriumlongum 35624 TM. 1 x 10^7 cfu / capsuleI don't have any intestinal problems according to my family doctor, except I tend to have hard stools if I don't add a few table spoons of cooked wheat bran to each meal I eat.I have found the vitamin D3 in doses of about 5000 to 8000 international units per day and 3000 to 6000 international units of omega 3 capsules have begun to clear up my eczema rash and dry and flakey skin on the back of my hands, forearms, back of my neck and shoulders around my neck, and a few small patches on my back and upper arms.Thank you very sincerely for your advice.Lawrence RodriguesPhone 416 293 3867email: LAJBR1@BELL.NETADDRESS:59 HOLMBUSH CRESCENTSCARBOROUGH ONTARIO CANADA POSTAL CODE: M1V 2Y8
Eating a completely Vegan diet what supplements other than the 7 listed should I be taking on the daily? Love your videos I get to learn something new from every single one. Thank you!
I personally supplement my vegetarian diet with at least 8 forkfulls of high fat meat on almost every meal 🤣. Sorry. It is a bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this information. I immediately ordered COq10 for my husband and myself. I didn’t realize that I had been taking the wrong type of K2, but I have now corrected that problem.
Been reading a lot about vitamin d causing atherosclerosis in artery's; esp if a smoker. There was a study that clogged rats aorta in only 7 days taking vitamin d.
Dr. Berry, first and foremost, thank you for your videos. I’ve only started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I do have a couple of questions: Do you recommend/encourage taking glycine? Why/why not? The reason I ask is because I take a glycine supplement called Sweetamine. It also contains L-Proline, Taurine, and stevia. I’ve heard taking a ‘tonic’ made with 2tbls acv (w/the mother), 1tbls blackstrap molasses, 1tsp baking soda and at least 10oz of water is very good for the body. Would you agree/do you recommend taking this? Why/why not? I’ve noticed some of your videos recommend unprocessed salt but in others you recommend a specific brand. Are these one in the same or different? If different, which is best? Also, my mom (and I, but I’m most concerned for my mom) really needs your medical help as a doctor. We’re in California. Do you take new patients for phone or video appointments?
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2. Most K2 supplements available at amazon or Walmart are the MK7 type (made from natto, fermented soy beans).
Yes Texarkana, I believe you are correct. I agree with you that what Dr. Berry said was wrong. In addition, I've heard MK-7 is the superior form of Vitamin K2 to take (for absorption). Not sure why he favors MK-4.
I take both, K2-MK4 has a shorter half life (maybe 3 or 4 hours) in the body but because you start with a bigger dose, you still have quite a bit after six half lives. MK7 is touted because it has a much longer half life and because it is more expensive, therefore it must be better. I believe MK4 is what you get from cheese and that may be why Dr Berry advocated it.
Great video thank you! I am following the Keto Diet and have heard that Potassium is important. Would you recommend a potassium supplement? Many thanks
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you recommend taking all supplements together or with certain foods? I know you said magnesium at night and vitamin D3 with fat (in another video). Thanks so much!!😊
Thanks for the info. I am 65, in good health and take no meds at all. I take most of what you mention here, with the exception of K2/MK4, which I will begin. I also take Hyaluronic Acid (330mg), tart cherry (465mg), krill oil (500mg), ubiquinol (100mg) and b12 (1500mg). Any thoughts on these? Thanks!
skip supplementing not really effective do coq10 injections, gludathione iv, myers cocktail, vitamin d injections, if you dont your just gonna have nutrition deficiencies and have lots of health issues. pro atletes and rich people do those year round thats why they're always healthy and not sick. nutrition ivs and injections is the secret to being healthy. not talked about cause there too effective they cure pretty much almost all health issues. high doses they last awhile in your system optimal levels same day, does not take serveral months like supplement and only 30 percent absorbtion. nutrition ivs and injection 100 percent absorbtion through blood stream and no side effects like supplements can
Dr. Berry. I have a question on some of the ones that you have linked in the show notes. A few of them like the D3/Magnesium, etc show to contain Soy Lecithin, Soy bean oil or Corn oil. Are these still alright to take? Also, the video mentions to take K2 (M4) but the link that was provided goes to a K2 (M7) brand.
Hello thanks for the information love your videos. Question, is there such a thing as taking too many different supplements in one day? Are there any negative side effects to this?
Can you take these supplements without food, I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. So could I take them in the mornings or should I wait until I eat?
Hi Dr. Berry, I love your videos since I've started the ketogenic diet! What about Potassium? I thought I heard we should take it on keto. But unfortunately I don't remember who I heard it from. I haven't started yet but I did purchase a bottle today. Thank you for all the information you provide to all of us!
Jeanne McKinney ~ I can't remember which doc I heard it from (Phinney, Westman, or I was thinking it was Dr. Berry, which is the reason I'm here today looking for that video), but when on keto you need more than twice the rda for sodium (5,000mg); 4700 potassium (I drink two zipfizz each day and try to get the rest from food); and I can't remember the recommended amount of magnesium -- again, the reason I'm here. Unfortunately, most potassium supplements are in 99mg capsules and you'd need to take a handful every day to get what you need. No-Salt or Nu-Salt is a good source of potassium but measure carefully. Potassium is one of those things you can get too much of.
A retired bariatric MD friend of mine says the following yesterday (4-19-2019): "ketosis pathophysiologically works same as diuretics. Depleting form the kidneys not only water but for life essential minerals like Kalium (potassium). My life-long experience is that one out of 100 patients, under normal conditions, are depleters of Kalium naturally. Lab results like 2.8-3.2 mmols per liter can occur (min is 3.5). You can imagine when those patients are put on diuretics or ketosis ( the same stuff) they lose more potassium and eventually can end up in cardiac arrest. 30-40 years ago, Dr. Lynn wrote a book titled "Last chance diet:" Home made remedy for a strict low carb diet.. 15 people around the country died from cardiac arrest.!! I am amazed, here in Prague, same is going on, without mentioning any info concerning mineral depletion. They routinely putting patients on 20-30 grams carbo diet without any fear. I just cannot believe it. The ketogenic diet must be under a physician's control and properly monitored. " So, Dr. Berry, you have said you take Keto Chow Electrolytes and other minerals, but in this video, you never document how much of each per day and do not say how you personally verify that you are not getting too much or too little. A yearly wellness check blood test might be too late to find out one has overdone a potassium supplement or has not taken enough. I found out that mayo says there are "no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting. Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor." They go on to list foods that contain potassium but the list is not very keto friendly. With Cronometer one can get a summary of totals from food and supplements if one logs what one eats each day. Maybe you could do a video on iodine and potassium. Supplement amounts, testing, symptoms.... Sidebar: Keto Chow 1/2 teaspoon contains Sodium 125mg Potassium 130mg Magnesium 45mg Chloride 390mg My daily potassium, based on daily cronometer logging, ranges from 100 to 2000 with (2000 days when I eat alot of kale chips and guacamole in one day). Adding Keto Chow to my water never gets me near 4700 but I could use 2000mg an use that as a target to round out with Keto Chow based on food eating that day.
Just take 3 things... 1) one daily every man's multivitamin 40 + (new chapter brand) 2) Antarctic krill oil 2000 MG ( microingredients brand) 3) Probiotic All-Flora (new chapter brand) I tried to get the best produced vitamin probiotic and krill oil I can find at a reasonable price that I can afford, new chapter seen the stand out because they ferment their products and it comes from my whole food source and actually meets or exceeds the minimum recommended dosages on the important stuff without adding too much other junk into it... the krill oil this is a new brand for me and I'm still seeing if it works well if my body I'm 2 weeks in on it but overall it seems like a decent brand and fresh oil.... as for the probiotic I'm not sure what all Flora means but I'm going to give them a shot haven't started it yet, but I'm curious your thoughts on these two Brands and these three supplements that I take... Is there better ones out there? Are these dosages enough for the average 40 year old not on many prescriptions ( antihistamine and Pepto acid reflux medicine)? It's also been recommended to me by others non-medical professional types to take A Time release vitamin C... not too sure about that one.... I only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me usuallyI only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me.. we all have a small snack for lunch... not much more to say but thought I would ask and see what you think
Any thoughts or suggestions on the correlation between supplements and sleep quality on a keto diet? Thank you for your youtube channel and easy to follow descriptions. I have been passing them on to friends and family and they are seeing the benefits of keto.
What about folate for senior women? I take all the vitamins you mentioned. I did OD on b12 per blood test. Now taking a lot less. I am also taking a probiotic, it has helped me absorb my vitamins better. My diet consists of avacado toast with egg. Salad or oatmeal for lunch. Fish or chicken with veggies for dinner. I’m only on 1 med for thyroid which is Armour. Blood pressure meds make me sick so I take super beets and pomegranate juice in AM. My doctor is not happy about that choice. Thank you for all this info it has helped me make decisions.
I have bone on bone knee issue. I was getting steroid shots every 3 months to take down the swelling which also caused pressure pain. I started to take organic sulphur crystals (Happy Body) .5 to 1 teaspoon mixed with iced tea every day. No more swelling and no more needles. Didn't fix the bone on bone knee but took away the pain. My question to you is, can you do a video on this and is it safe to take every day? The things I read said it comes naturally in food but gets processed out. Thanks in advance.
I was ready for new knees when I found an exercise specialist that taught me how to build up the muscles around my knees. I did standard leg exercises with an assist, like a cane, with warm-ups (active stretching) and cool down after (static stretching), and rolling all leg muscles (foam roller, massage gun, and/or rolling pin.) I swim and/or bike ride weekly. I am 74 and play tennis several times a week. I still see my specialized trainer twice a week for workouts and I am doing this on the same bone-on-bone knees the surgeon said I should have replaced.
I live in Brazil and every supplement I can find here have lots of things in them like corn starch, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate. I bought some magnesium chloride, omega 3 (fish oil) and chelated zinc, but I'm still not sure if I should take them or how bad those ingredients are, if at all. They sound bad, that's for sure.
Thanks Dr Berry. Started following you about 2 wks ago. Lost 30 pounds with your help so far.
Love your videos. Taking notes now on supplements. Following Keto diet now. Me and husband have lost 15 lbs. SO FAR. More to go. Less bloating and joint pain. Thank you for caring.
Wow 30 lbs in 2 weeks? How much did u weight when ustarted?
I dont know how to go back to my previous questions for the answers. gallagherkelleys@gmail I started fasting the 16/8 right away. Hasnt really fiven me hunger pangs. I did only start keto about 3 weeks ago. 1 year ago I started a high protein diet and lost a lot of weight. I like the keto better because I feel more full. How will it affect me if I continue the 16/8 IF even though I did that right away? I need to lose 30 more pounds.
Love your video, very instructive! On the subject vitamins, how about vitamine C and R Lipoic acid?
I don’t take any medications I’m 36 and started Keto 3 weeks ago.

VIT D. I take 50.000 a week
@@judybrown1810
I take the same. 25000 IU twice weekly. My last test showed that my serum level of Vitamin D3 is 51 ng/ml which I thought was a good thing. But my endo's nurse told me to go easy on any vit D supps as 51ng/dl was getting close to 'dangerously high'!?
Anybody who can tell me if she (the nurse) is right? I thought we were all routinely lacking in vit D? Also, I cannot find any 'official' upper limit, only that yr serum level should be above 30 ng/ml.
So I don't get it...
Mine is 71 and my dr says that is good. I believe Dr Berry addressed this on one of his videos and it can safely be much higher.
Amazing!
The best way to get nutrition. nutrition ivs and nutrition injections myers cocktail iv, nad+iv, vitamin d injection, gluadathione iv and coq10 injection. way better then supplements. they been aroundd since the 1950s and thats what pro athletes and rich people use year round to stay healthy.,,
Vitamin D: Critical for overall health and hormone production. He recommends 2,000 to 5,000 IU daily, particularly for those far from the equator.
Magnesium: Many people are deficient in magnesium, which regulates bodily functions. He suggests 250-500 mg of magnesium citrate or glycinate, ideally at bedtime.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Essential for those not on a ketogenic or high-fat diet. He advises 2-3 grams of fish oil daily.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Particularly important for those on multiple medications. Dosage can range from 100 to 800 mg depending on prescription usage.
Zinc: Helpful for men’s testosterone regulation and for those with reduced taste or smell. He recommends 25-50 mg daily.
B-Complex Vitamins: Necessary for vegetarians or those not eating enough quality meat. He advises a supplement with 1,000 mcg of B12.
Vitamin K2 (MK4 form): Aids in bone health, and with vitamin D, can help prevent osteoporosis. The recommended dose is 200 mcg daily.
3:00 I love the humor you throw in. I've learned a great deal about nutrition watching your videos. That sarcasm makes it feel like you're getting these tips from an old friend.
NO-ONE needs $100's worth of supplements, don't let someone who is selling them convince you of that. You only need a few...
KenDBerryMD are all of these you mention here needed daily and long term ... I WISH I’ve only spent hundreds on supplements... been more like thousands and I am so confused on what we need long term. All I know is I feel like hell
Does seizure medication deplete coq10 as well? My husband takes a total of 6 seizure pills as well as a beta blocker and bp pill. How many mcg would you suggest...
Would be really helpful to have specific product recommendations rather than
“ you need 50 mg of magnesium “ etc.
I heard most vit pills don’t even get absorbed and pass right through. I still have little clue on what to actually buy for better health.
So many adds etc I don’t trust.

Among other things, I REALLY appreciate you having concern for saving money, most medical folks think we can afford it ALL.
Or they simply don't care. Natural selection but they'll never admit it lol.
My doctor cares! She’s always preferred older, tried & true, cheaper meds over brand-new expensive ones and gives samples. Even better, diet changes & simple load-bearing exercise.
Thank you Dr. Berry! Your videos are extremely informative. I have been sharing your channel with friends and family. 💯
For all, here's a summary of the supplements:
Vitamin D3: 2000 - 5000 IU per day
Magnesium: 250 - 500mg per day (take at night)
Omega-3s: 2 - 3 grams per day
CoEnzyme Q10: 100 - 200mg per day
Zinc: 25 - 50mg per day
B Complex: 1000mcg per day
Vitamin K2: 200mcg (MK4)
Thank You Amit !!! 🙏 Namaste
i though K2 of mk7 was needed with vit d for bone support but dr berry said mk4 , am i wrong

K2… I am blown away by how important this vitamin is. Has the greatest effect on all-cause mortality due to its role in artery health.
I did not realize that.
Dr Berry you dont answer every one of the questions in the comments as you claimed you would in this video, it would understandably consumer all of your time.....You are an excellent source of health information and we appreciate your channel but smoke and mirrors to encourage viewer engagement with your videos with a flase notion that you'll answer all questions is beneath you as you are a highly intelligent and very credible person on so many levels.

I started keto back in January and I was 245 lbs, 6'2 tall. I was taking Januvia once a day and 1 gram of metformin twice a day. I was on 4 blood pressure meds every day. As a result of keto and a daily walk I am down to 172 lbs, and am completely off all diabetic medications. I am only taking 1 BP medication. I had surgery in 2008 and had most of my thyroid removed so I have to take levothyroxine but it and the 1 bp med are the only medications I take.
So happy for you. You are an encouragement to others. Keep up the good work.
Amazing. Congrats. Curious 2 years later if you're still taking the bp medication?
Great list Dr. Berry, I would to suggest 2 others. For K2 - wk7 version has a better half-life than wk-4 (I take both - Liver is the best), current studies of K2 are of higher doses (0.2mg+). Not sure why this one wasn't considered essential, most people do not get enough Boron in their diet. It is involved in many processes, and taken in moderate amounts with your suggested list will provide many benefits (Strong Bones - No Osteopenia, Reverse Arthritis, Increase D Serum levels, and Testosterone)
Do you mean Mk-7?

I already take all of these but the single biggest effect for me, having psoriatic arthritis, was standardized turmeric with black pepper. My little fingers used to stay sore almost as if broken and my other finger joints were frequently inflamed and painful but when I started taking turmeric the pain left my hands and never came back. I can lift weights, write, etc. with zero pain. Love your channel Dr. Berry!
What dosage do you take? I have severe osteoarthritis.
@@jackstewart2504 I take 3 capsules @500 mg each as a maintenance dose every 24 hours. Make sure you get the 95% curcuminoids standardized version with bio-Perine (black pepper) to help with absorption. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory! When I started taking it, I took one 1500 mg dose every twelve hours and within a few days the pain was gone. Since it's just a spice, common yellow curry, you can also cook with it if you like curry flavor. Really good in a creamed chicken and rice sauce. Good luck!

Dr Berry my husband and I have been following you for yrs. My hubby is your #1 fan!!! This year my sugar addict self decided to do NO processed sugars in 2023!!! I got so much flack. Hubby and I have done 30-40 days 0 sugars and 4 month carnivore a few years ago with amazing results but we have never tried 1 yr. Feeling our best already! His arthritis is gone, my brain fog is gone, better night sleep, dropping weight, reflexes are quick (I never thought that would happen!) And skin has already cleared up. Not doing fruits yet! Only focused on no processed sugars but people think I am going to die. They never worried when I ate chemical laden snicker bars and poptarts! Now they think I am dying. Well, on the road to recovery. I don't want to ever go back!
Here is my problem! I love hamburger and eggs - those give me the most energy almost whinin a minute of eating... but my stomach has shrunk and I can't eat very much because I fill up so fast. I am concerned I am not getting enough vitamins so I take vitamins. I don't want to overtake them either. You mentioned if we ate a meat dense diet we should be getting the nutrients we need. What would you say is the amount needed for someone who can only eat 2 small meals a day.
I loved doing 24 hr fasting then eat, but I am no longer doing that because I can only eat a fistful of meat or eggs most days.
Hubby and I have lost weight but that isn't the goal here, being healthy is... then the body will lose. It took us years to realize that.
Also what do you recommend for someone with a cold to add in more magnesium and zinc? How much? Thanks for all you do!!!
I love all your messages, my emergency room doctor died of leukemia so I don’t have the access that I used to have but I am a great reader later in my life and you, Dr. Berg and Dr. Mendel are pretty much all I listen to. I thank you for all your hard work and discoveries. I have Neuropathy and I do take the vitamin B 1 and alpha Lipo acid 600 mg seems to be working fine with the tingling and sometime sharp pains in my feet. I have no diabetes and 84 1/2 I actually have no other ailments. Very very fortunate very very good bloodline as well parents live to be in their 90s grandparents late 90s. So I know some of that works. Also realize we had lots of healthy foods growing up with big gardens and grandparents that I own beehives and cattle ranches. I know it plays a big part. OK thanks again.
I'm taking collagen, biotin, grape seed complex, glucosamine potassium an I'm 65yrs old. I have arthritis and eat low carb also take a multi vitamin. I want to thank you for all the great information!!! 🙂

What about potassium supplements? I know that we can get potassium from leafy greens and salads, but I can't eat too much of them due to IBS. Recently I started eating a few salads and leafy greens a day, trying to get healthier, and I had the worst IBS attack in years! Thank you Dr. Berry for taking the time to do all these videos.. you're really helping a lot of people!!
I have the same question about potassium. There is one type I've found called potassium gluconate, but I can't seem to find info on it.
Potassium supplements are limited by FDA to 99mg, whereas the body should be getting 4500mg a day.
Cream of tartar is a good source. I just started taking it by adding it to my twice daily apple cider vinegar drink.
Can you provide a list of the supplements you described in your presentations?
I also take iodine supplement. I have been for several years and can’t remember the reason. Am I wasting my money? Also, I’ve read that kombucha and kefir are the best way to get your probiotics. I’ve been making homemade kombucha for a few years now and love it! I have had no intestinal issues since beginning to drink kombucha on a regular basis.
Taking a supplement that delivers 500 mcg/day of iodine (e.g. kelp capsules) can support an underactive thyroid (which is quite common). Just be cautious if your underactive thyroid is a symptom of Hashimoto's (an autoimmune disease in which your body is attacking its own thyroid gland). In this situation taking iodine is not recommended. You can get tested for Hashimoto's with thyroid antibody tests.
Correct me if I am wrong, but from other trustworthy videos I know that using enough Himalayan salt provides this and many other phyto nutrients.
Recipe for the kombucha please? :)
Dr. Berry, I have learned sooo much listening to you. Appreciate your straight forward style and use you as a reference for "all things"!

2. Magnesium Complex - MagEnhance
3. Coenzym Q10 - Qunol Ubiquinol (ubiquinol is the better form of CoQ10 and is FAR better absorbed in the body than regular CoQ10)
4. Omega 3 - Sports Research Total Omega 3
5. Vitamin D3/K2 - Sports Research
6. Vitamin C - American Health Ester-C with Bioflavonoids
7. Niacin - Solgar Vitamin B3
8. Probiotic - Now Foods 10, 25 billion CFU

I am trying to improve my diet though, but even as it is, my vitals are still good.

So far I have kicked nicotine, refined sugar, gluten, alcohol, now I'm after lactose. It's a long road!
I was wondering . . . . . is it only the lactose in those grains or is it the whole thing?
I was in an accident that left me with a pretty nasty spinal injury and the label in-valid !
When the pain hits my brain . . well, say no more.
But . . . when it does I can't eat, sometimes for days. So I have gotten used to fasting. I'm too poor for the meat . . . so ditto for that. What you say makes a lot of sense.
I'm also after Inflammation as I think that is what slows me down the most.
Needless to say (especially to you) the whole lot has led me straight to Keto . . .
I like your genuine honesty and personal style. I am taking on board what you recommend (that I don't already do) and I'm looking forward to even less pain.
Thank you for your invaluable knowledge.
3TapSnu 0ut Probiotics help a lot in restoring the gut. You probably took a lot of medicines for the accident which can damage the gut and create lots of sensitivities, weakness and toxins in the body.

Dr. Berry, when you mentioned about Zinc and testosterone.. I was wondering about women with PCOS who have too much testosterone.. Should we take Zinc?
it helps women too. when something is good for men it usually good for women too it's strange but they highly recommend zinc to women with pcos
I have external allergy to zinc, does that mean I am allergic to it internally as well?
Love your “southern” humor, thank you Dr. Berry!
wow, this just popped up and its many years ago, but i took notes, thank you for all you do for us out here.
I felt like sheet 20 - 30 years ago, process of elimination came up with "chronic fatigue" ie they couldn't find anything. So I have been reading about this stuff for years and agree with your list. Now @ 76 I am off all prescription medicines. Systolic BP around 130 or a little above but stable so I let that be.
I am surprised you didn't include any "brain enhancers" though. Having a wife with with AD, diagnosed 5 years ago and still at home I have an interest. Probably the one you could have included is curcumin [bacopa and ginko also help] and changed the magnesium compound to magnesium L-theonate [expensive though]. I also cook in coconut oil which has a high fuming point. But an excellent list.
I hope people hear the message re D3 and K2. Osteo is a terrible thing, it condemned my beautiful MIL to a wheelchair and eventually stroke when, knowing what we know now, it could have been prevented.
I'd advise to do research on insulin resistance, mct oil and Alzheimer. You can find UA-cam's with specific info on this subject. The disease is also called diabetes 3.If your lady became insulin resistant, her brains lack glucose fuel. In that case her brains may live up with another fuel, mct oil.
Osteoporosis: use boron, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7). Proteins are also required for stronger bones.
Pls let me know if I can help.

I had been taking a b complex vitamin but had been experiencing a variety of nasty symptoms that I had thought might suggest a need for more thyroid hormone supplementation...crushing fatigue, depression, GERD, heart fluttering, insomnia, finally terrible muscle cramps in my feet and toes. My wonderful internist did a lot of blood tests and finally found the problem...very low plasma thiamine levels. A few days of b1 and benefotiamin supplements totally eradicated all the problems. My ketovore diet just didn't do it without supplements. I suspect my age--64-- made my absorption less than ideal. I am so relieved to have been able to identify it!
Hoe could you be low in B1 thiamin when you were taking B complex which you said actually was upsetting your system..makes no sense to me

You’re videos are most informative and so enjoyable! Thank you for all you do and share. God bless
Hi, should we avoid taking vitamins that contain soybean oil, corn oil, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide? Thanks for the wonderful information.
Dr. Berry, Thank you so much!!! You are a saving grace!!!
Generally, I've seen MK-7 recommended--especially with D3. Any more info on Mk-7 vs. MK-4?
Go to Dr Steven Lin's website to read why. K2 MK-7 is what we need. He's well know in the keto carnivore community as well. 👍👍
Dr. Berry, I'm confused... in the video you specify taking the MK-4 type of Vitamin K2, but the link above is for an MK-7 type. Also, A number of other videos have favored the MK-7 variety, as it has a longer half-life. Thanks so much for all you do!
The MK-4 in supplements is synthetic version. MK-7 is the exact same K2 you would get if you actually ate Japanese natto, which many folks find to be an unpalatable food & also lasts/works much longer in the body ;-)
BTW? He F'ed up I'm sure. you want MK-7 for sure.
They do slightly different things supposedly with some overlap. See Chris Masterjohn. Mk-7 is supposed to be esoecially good for the bones. Mk-4 for the brain. I take both. My autistic daughter is doing fantastic on 1 or 2 drops of Thorne's mk-4. I have no idea why but I welcome it. Mk-7 did nothing for her mood and behavior.
I’ve been on the full carnivore diet not keto for 13 days now been following my blood work my testosterone has doubled since starting this diet went from low 200’s up to high 400’s and man do I feel better !!! I was eating what most would consider a healthy diet according to the SAD diet no sugar low carbs but suffered with low T for years it was all I could do to get off the couch once I got off work now I get home go outside work in the yard and I’m finding pleasure in life again I even feel more attractive it’s really a miracle , I know it sounds like I’m selling snake oil but I can’t say enough about this diet
The D3 supplement you recommend has soybean oil in it. Careful what brands you recommend. Thanks!
Lucy S, it also contains corn oil.
There are vitamin D3 supplement in olive oil
@@noreenn6976 I saw a few with sunflower oil. Yay or nay?
Nancy Muller Dr Suzy Cohan sells D3 with olive oil.
Try New Chapter brand. Excellent fish oil from wild salmon.
Dr Berry, I just found your channel and it's great!! I was surprised you didn't mention Vit A, C and E. Good? Bad? Are they needed? I had always thought large does of E helped protect the heart and of course Vit C helps to ward off colds. Are those myths?
David Holliday I think his point was that we should be able to get these easily from a healthy ketogenic diet. Those listed are ones we should be prepared to supplement as there is a greater likelihood of being deficient in them.
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2.
Now I"m confused... MK4 or MK7 ??
mwdickens K2 from MK7 Natto. This video explains it. Dr. Berry dud a review on her book and gave it a thumbs up 👍
ua-cam.com/video/Y_pa7AR7l6s/v-deo.html
So he did say the MK4? I found it on Amazon
Yvette Jossart MK 7 (from Natto) is the correct one.
I have not seen any studies. Mayhap the 4 version is used faster,
Dr. Berry,, thank you. Could you please comment on Turmeric, Quercetin and Resveratrol, especially for bad fatty liver. Thank you.
I always had tingling sensations on my scalp cause I was vitamin d deficient now that I’ve been taking vitamin d and getting sun it went away!
Great to see you explain these to us. Great info, Doc! Keep em' coming!👍
This was a couple of years ago...do you still recommend these supplements on a carnivore diet?
Ok Dr. Berry I think a book on supplements is due. Have blessed day.
I’m just starting out on Keto and definitely need to have a supplement as I don’t have the diet down yet.
Thanks for your effort Doctor, but I think you forgat one of the most important elements which most of the people are deficient in which is Iodine, which can lead to some serious problems!
ah yes i just mentioned that too, they have to learn which one to take & how to dose etc... also. some meds & situations may not mix well with iodine as it seems to raise blood pressure & heart rate
I get iodine from kelp
@@Jimbob-zn6bl your not getting enough from food, plus you have to consider pollution etc...
Sea weed or kelp is good for iodine. Any fish or shellfish from the ocean will contain iodine. Also if you live near a coastline iodine shouldn’t be a concern.
@@susanbrynt all oceans are polluted....
By my count you only mentioned 7 vitamins: D3, Magnesium, Omega 3, Co Q10, Zinc, B Complex and K2. What did I miss?
Probiotics was not covered.
@@Ziyana_Zenn not required really.
Just take a multi vitamins,minerals,herbs
Probiotics was listed as #3...
But it was not covered, that I heard, anyway...
Is there a certain brand of these that's best and how do we know which ones we need
Zinc intake over 50 mg will start to deplete copper. To much copper will start to deplete zinc. They need to be taken in a balanced dose. To much zinc can be toxic.
Thank you, Dr. Berry, for sharing this information. I like the fact that your videos are not an attempt to sell products.
Hey doc wanted to know if there is a age restriction for any of these vitamins , great informative video 👍🏻
huhh??🙄 All bodies require them.
What about probiotics and grass-fed collagen powder? Thanks for the video! Very helpful!!
I'd be interested to know this too.
I'd like more information also
He actually listed the suppliments below the video in his video description. Probiotic was on that list
I would be very interested in the collagen powder or pills information. The look into the products available it looks like there is the types, hydrolyzed versus regular, not to mention the sources of the collagen. Apparently each type has a particular purpose, marine(fish) is higher quality source, and hydrolyzed is the easier form to absorb into the body, the type I have found is in conflict of whether it is actually applicable.
Dr. Ken Berry,What is the name of the good probiotic supplement that you recommend for people like me who have eczema.When ever I have any probiotic from milk like yogurt or capsule (I took just one capsule) with lactobacilli my eczema flares up and becomes much worse.I have purchased but not yet tried a probiotic called Align distributed by Procter and Gamble Inc. which has only one probiotic: Bifidobacteriumlongum 35624 TM. 1 x 10^7 cfu / capsuleI don't have any intestinal problems according to my family doctor, except I tend to have hard stools if I don't add a few table spoons of cooked wheat bran to each meal I eat.I have found the vitamin D3 in doses of about 5000 to 8000 international units per day and 3000 to 6000 international units of omega 3 capsules have begun to clear up my eczema rash and dry and flakey skin on the back of my hands, forearms, back of my neck and shoulders around my neck, and a few small patches on my back and upper arms.Thank you very sincerely for your advice.Lawrence RodriguesPhone 416 293 3867email: LAJBR1@BELL.NETADDRESS:59 HOLMBUSH CRESCENTSCARBOROUGH ONTARIO CANADA POSTAL CODE: M1V 2Y8
Eating a completely Vegan diet what supplements other than the 7 listed should I be taking on the daily? Love your videos I get to learn something new from every single one. Thank you!
I personally supplement my vegetarian diet with at least 8 forkfulls of high fat meat on almost every meal 🤣.
Sorry. It is a bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
Dr Berry I love your videos! I really cant afford all the supplements you discussed in the video. Can you recommend a good daily multivitamin?
Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this information. I immediately ordered COq10 for my husband and myself. I didn’t realize that I had been taking the wrong type of K2, but I have now corrected that problem.
K2 MK7 last longer in your body. It is excellent. I would also try and get more K2 from diet. High fat milk/yogurt/cheeses are a good source.
K2 MK seven would be his recommendation today so if that’s what you’re taking with your D3 keep it up
Your link to Magnesium actually goes to a Magnesium OXIDE. You might want to take a look. :)
Just noticed that myself. Straight to Mg Oxide. Hmmm.
Magnesium Oxide = Great Laxative!
Been reading a lot about vitamin d causing atherosclerosis in artery's; esp if a smoker. There was a study that clogged rats aorta in only 7 days taking vitamin d.
Dr. Berry, first and foremost, thank you for your videos. I’ve only started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I do have a couple of questions:
Do you recommend/encourage taking glycine? Why/why not? The reason I ask is because I take a glycine supplement called Sweetamine. It also contains L-Proline, Taurine, and stevia.
I’ve heard taking a ‘tonic’ made with 2tbls acv (w/the mother), 1tbls blackstrap molasses, 1tsp baking soda and at least 10oz of water is very good for the body. Would you agree/do you recommend taking this? Why/why not?
I’ve noticed some of your videos recommend unprocessed salt but in others you recommend a specific brand. Are these one in the same or different? If different, which is best?
Also, my mom (and I, but I’m most concerned for my mom) really needs your medical help as a doctor. We’re in California. Do you take new patients for phone or video appointments?
How about probiotics and/or fermented foods?
I understand that probiotics should be from the refrigerated shelf not the regular isle of vitamin self.
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2. Most K2 supplements available at amazon or Walmart are the MK7 type (made from natto, fermented soy beans).
Yes Texarkana, I believe you are correct. I agree with you that what Dr. Berry said was wrong. In addition, I've heard MK-7 is the superior form of Vitamin K2 to take (for absorption). Not sure why he favors MK-4.
Thank you for clarifying this! I noticed that the supplement that he linked to had 15,000mcg MK-4. I was wondering what was going on
I'm confused, so what K2 and I suppose to order?
This confused me too. !5,000mcg versus 200 mcg is quite a difference.
I take both, K2-MK4 has a shorter half life (maybe 3 or 4 hours) in the body but because you start with a bigger dose, you still have quite a bit after six half lives. MK7 is touted because it has a much longer half life and because it is more expensive, therefore it must be better. I believe MK4 is what you get from cheese and that may be why Dr Berry advocated it.
Vitamin D3 and K2 mk7, cod liver oil, marine collagen, trace minerals,
Health: one low functioning kidney, liver issues. Suggestions?
Ty Dr. Berry
Great video thank you! I am following the Keto Diet and have heard that Potassium is important. Would you recommend a potassium supplement? Many thanks
How about vitamin C? Is it worth taking or just a waste of money. Thanks.
Got to get the plant-based bioflavonoid vitamin C extract
I think you skipped probiotics... What do you recommend for those? Also do you recommend anything for hair skin and nails?
You can make your own probiotics. I make my own sauerkraut...and pickles.
Much better than any supplement...
There is a link for the probiotics under the video.
how do you make your sauerkraut?

Thank you so much for your videos. Do you recommend taking all supplements together or with certain foods? I know you said magnesium at night and vitamin D3 with fat (in another video). Thanks so much!!😊
Magnesium is good at bed time along with calcium because it helps your sleep.
Thanks for the info. I am 65, in good health and take no meds at all. I take most of what you mention here, with the exception of K2/MK4, which I will begin. I also take Hyaluronic Acid (330mg), tart cherry (465mg), krill oil (500mg), ubiquinol (100mg) and b12 (1500mg). Any thoughts on these? Thanks!
skip supplementing not really effective do coq10 injections, gludathione iv, myers cocktail, vitamin d injections, if you dont your just gonna have nutrition deficiencies and have lots of health issues. pro atletes and rich people do those year round thats why they're always healthy and not sick. nutrition ivs and injections is the secret to being healthy. not talked about cause there too effective they cure pretty much almost all health issues. high doses they last awhile in your system optimal levels same day, does not take serveral months like supplement and only 30 percent absorbtion. nutrition ivs and injection 100 percent absorbtion through blood stream and no side effects like supplements can
Dr. Berry. I have a question on some of the ones that you have linked in the show notes. A few of them like the D3/Magnesium, etc show to contain Soy Lecithin, Soy bean oil or Corn oil. Are these still alright to take? Also, the video mentions to take K2 (M4) but the link that was provided goes to a K2 (M7) brand.
No they are all fillers and bad for your health. That’s weird he would suggest them 😖
I'm a 65 yo male and experimenting with nootropics. Two questions. 1. Are they legit? And 2. Which one{s} are best if they are?
Hello thanks for the information love your videos. Question, is there such a thing as taking too many different supplements in one day? Are there any negative side effects to this?
Can you take these supplements without food, I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. So could I take them in the mornings or should I wait until I eat?
Hi Dr. Berry, I love your videos since I've started the ketogenic diet! What about Potassium? I thought I heard we should take it on keto. But unfortunately I don't remember who I heard it from. I haven't started yet but I did purchase a bottle today. Thank you for all the information you provide to all of us!
Jeanne McKinney ~ I can't remember which doc I heard it from (Phinney, Westman, or I was thinking it was Dr. Berry, which is the reason I'm here today looking for that video), but when on keto you need more than twice the rda for sodium (5,000mg); 4700 potassium (I drink two zipfizz each day and try to get the rest from food); and I can't remember the recommended amount of magnesium -- again, the reason I'm here. Unfortunately, most potassium supplements are in 99mg capsules and you'd need to take a handful every day to get what you need. No-Salt or Nu-Salt is a good source of potassium but measure carefully. Potassium is one of those things you can get too much of.
A retired bariatric MD friend of mine says the following yesterday (4-19-2019): "ketosis pathophysiologically works same as diuretics. Depleting form the kidneys not only water but for life essential minerals like Kalium (potassium). My life-long experience is that one out of 100 patients, under normal conditions, are depleters of Kalium naturally. Lab results like 2.8-3.2 mmols per liter
can occur (min is 3.5). You can imagine when those patients are put on diuretics or ketosis ( the same stuff) they lose more potassium and eventually can end up in cardiac arrest. 30-40 years ago, Dr. Lynn wrote a book titled "Last chance diet:" Home made remedy for a strict low carb diet.. 15 people around the country died from cardiac arrest.!! I am amazed, here in Prague, same is going on, without mentioning any info concerning mineral depletion. They routinely putting patients on 20-30 grams carbo diet without any fear. I just cannot believe it. The ketogenic diet must be under a physician's control and properly monitored. "
So, Dr. Berry, you have said you take Keto Chow Electrolytes and other minerals, but in this video, you never document how much of each per day and do not say how you personally verify that you are not getting too much or too little. A yearly wellness check blood test might be too late to find out one has overdone a potassium supplement or has not taken enough.
I found out that mayo says there are "no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.
Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor."
They go on to list foods that contain potassium but the list is not very keto friendly.
With Cronometer one can get a summary of totals from food and supplements if one logs what one eats each day.
Maybe you could do a video on iodine and potassium. Supplement amounts, testing, symptoms....
Sidebar: Keto Chow 1/2 teaspoon contains
Sodium 125mg
Potassium 130mg
Magnesium 45mg
Chloride 390mg
My daily potassium, based on daily cronometer logging, ranges from 100 to 2000 with (2000 days when I eat alot of kale chips and guacamole in one day). Adding Keto Chow to my water never gets me near 4700 but I could use 2000mg
an use that as a target to round out with Keto Chow based on food eating that day.
Just take 3 things...
1) one daily every man's multivitamin 40 + (new chapter brand)
2) Antarctic krill oil 2000 MG ( microingredients brand)
3) Probiotic All-Flora (new chapter brand)
I tried to get the best produced vitamin probiotic and krill oil I can find at a reasonable price that I can afford, new chapter seen the stand out because they ferment their products and it comes from my whole food source and actually meets or exceeds the minimum recommended dosages on the important stuff without adding too much other junk into it... the krill oil this is a new brand for me and I'm still seeing if it works well if my body I'm 2 weeks in on it but overall it seems like a decent brand and fresh oil.... as for the probiotic I'm not sure what all Flora means but I'm going to give them a shot haven't started it yet, but I'm curious your thoughts on these two Brands and these three supplements that I take... Is there better ones out there? Are these dosages enough for the average 40 year old not on many prescriptions ( antihistamine and Pepto acid reflux medicine)? It's also been recommended to me by others non-medical professional types to take A Time release vitamin C... not too sure about that one.... I only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me usuallyI only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me.. we all have a small snack for lunch... not much more to say but thought I would ask and see what you think
Any thoughts or suggestions on the correlation between supplements and sleep quality on a keto diet? Thank you for your youtube channel and easy to follow descriptions. I have been passing them on to friends and family and they are seeing the benefits of keto.
What was that ,
Kinda of k2 was that again ?
What dose of Vit D3 and K2 do you recommend? And what Multivitamin pls?
Dr Berry-how do you feel about taking digestive enzymes after meals?
you're supposed to take them right before you eat the meal
What about folate for senior women? I take all the vitamins you mentioned. I did OD on b12 per blood test. Now taking a lot less. I am also taking a probiotic, it has helped me absorb my vitamins better. My diet consists of avacado toast with egg. Salad or oatmeal for lunch. Fish or chicken with veggies for dinner. I’m only on 1 med for thyroid which is Armour. Blood pressure meds make me sick so I take super beets and pomegranate juice in AM. My doctor is not happy about that choice. Thank you for all this info it has helped me make decisions.
I’m wondering about the use of collagen pills and apple cider vinegar capsules?
they're total horse manure Erin!
Erin Gachuma Not sure about collagen but ACV is very good for health!
Marine collagen power by nature's choice is amazing been taking it for years.
I have bone on bone knee issue. I was getting steroid shots every 3 months to take down the swelling which also caused pressure pain. I started to take organic sulphur crystals (Happy Body) .5 to 1 teaspoon mixed with iced tea every day. No more swelling and no more needles. Didn't fix the bone on bone knee but took away the pain. My question to you is, can you do a video on this and is it safe to take every day? The things I read said it comes naturally in food but gets processed out. Thanks in advance.
I was ready for new knees when I found an exercise specialist that taught me how to build up the muscles around my knees. I did standard leg exercises with an assist, like a cane, with warm-ups (active stretching) and cool down after (static stretching), and rolling all leg muscles (foam roller, massage gun, and/or rolling pin.) I swim and/or bike ride weekly. I am 74 and play tennis several times a week. I still see my specialized trainer twice a week for workouts and I am doing this on the same bone-on-bone knees the surgeon said I should have replaced.
I live in Brazil and every supplement I can find here have lots of things in them like corn starch, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate. I bought some magnesium chloride, omega 3 (fish oil) and chelated zinc, but I'm still not sure if I should take them or how bad those ingredients are, if at all. They sound bad, that's for sure.
