You have to take k2 w vita D
K2 activates the system for bone-upkeep.
In your body are osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts break down bones and osteoblasts build up bone. Simply said: they are active calcium movers.
If you take more than say 1000 IU vit D, it is good to have vitamin K2 with it, say 100 micrograms.
This helps to avoid hypercalcemia.
K2 has more effects: helps in reducing calcium depositions in soft organs like bladder and kidneys, heart and arteries and two clinical studies suggest that vitamin K2 reduces the recurrence of liver cancer and increases survival times.
I see the good points of this video, but the illustrations bother me. It creates the impression that the guy taking 10.000 IU per day developed the hands in the x-ray. However, the picture is from somewhere on the internet. *Clickbait?*
you should revise, what you said and get the records streight. don't mix up studies and the versions of vitamin D. you may couse harm with wrong information
@@mariapalacio6681 Vitamin K2 as MK7 is best. Take 100mcg for every 5,000 IU's of D3.
i take 25000IU daily. for years, to hold my 85ng level. no problem. also i take vitK2, vit E, A and magnesium daily.
Living in Seattle, I was taking 3,000 IU of D3 every day throughout the winter and my blood tests confirmed I was still very low on vitamin D. I’ve since ramped up to 10,000 IU with K2 daily every day I don’t get any sun exposure. Been doing this for a couple years, so far so good.
You should go and check your Vitamin D level, and if necessary you have to receive e shots 200 000IU per 3 days and then continue with 20 000IU per day, but dont get less then 15000IU, this guy has no clue about it.He is payed from the globalist..
K2 or fermented foods are meant to bind to calcium which in turn allows your body to excrete the excess calcium? That's what I have seen in research.
@@DruidzTV Yea, the excess calcium binds to the K2 instead of your arteries or kidneys, or at least that’s they way it’s supposed to work.
did you also take k2 when you took 3000 a day? that is also needed to help absorb vitamin d
@@darlene971 I did not before with the 3,000 dose. My understanding is the K2 is to just to prevent calcium from building up in the wrong places of your body but regardless, I know now to take them together, as everyone should.
You need vit a, K2, magnesium, potassium, sufficient intake of the appropriate fats, and probably a bunch of other things, not just vitamin D.
You NEED not to take thousands of IU of ANYTHING! Get your vitamins naturally from food mostly and get your Vitamin D from sunshine most often.
Exactly! Vit K2 is necessary while taking D3
In this case magnesium is way more important than k2.
@@maxalbon9557 yeah but they work better together. If you have the proper fats, a whole lot of K2, vitamin A, and a good amount of magnesium (not too much or you'll get the squirts), and then by necessity you need potassium because calcium and magnesium are involved, then the body can figure out the appropriate thing to do with all this D3 and calcium. You need all of it for the body to use it in a balanced manner, right?
@@rlee1185 Yes yes, all the minerals and vitamins you mentioned (+ phosphorus) are important in such a case, but magnesium plays a key role, because people have problems with magnesium deficiency (it is very difficult to get enough magnesium from the diet), so when you take a higher dose of vitamin D from outside (in the sense of a supplement), when you add insufficient levels of magnesium - the body does not have the ability to convert vitamin D to a bioavailable form that it can use, this is when the problems with calcium deposition and other dangerous things start.
Finding one person with this type of issue doesn't mean this is a common occurence. Did this person have a thyroid condition? What about his DNA SNP's? Was he testing his vitamin D levels regularly? What type of Vitamin D was he taking? Was he getting high sun exposure in addition to his Vitamin D supplementation? Were his cofactors phosphorus, magnesium, Vitamin K2, boron in optimal range? Was he supplementing with calcium? Did he eat a lot of high calcium foods. Was he eating a diet high in oxalates. That affects calcium. There are numerous other factors that could be involved. A genetic variant maybe? I've been on 10K IU for 10 years and have zero effects. 10,000 IU's sounds like a lot, but 40,000 IU's of vitamin D is only 1 milligram of vitamin D.
I'm a fair-skinned northern European who's been living in the tropics (Brazil) for the last 14 years. I also take 5000 IU's of D3 per day.
A recent blood test showed my D3 level at 90nmol/L.
Optimal is 120 nmol/L, so I have increased my dose.
No way is 10000 Ius of D3 per day responsible for this guy's symptoms. It may have contributed a little if he has other significant issues but it is not the cause. D3, at a blood concentration level of 120nmol/L doesn't simply increase blood calcium, it regulates it effectively, in both directions.
I also take K2 (125 mcg per day) and I would recommend that dose to anyone who supplements D3 (I recommend both). K2 ensures that the calcium gets to where it should be - bones and teeth not blood vessels.
And 5 milligrams of salt is definitely too much. Even if it doesn't look like much, doesn't mean it is a small amount. What about things that are measured in the microgram range? Are those tiny amounts too?
The answer is simply that it depends.
@@antonystringfellow5152 Yes 90 mcg 4 women and 120mcg 4 men
Is it even a real person or disinfo to discredit Vitamin D?
It could also be his diet! He could be eating OXALATES in his diet.
One man's symptoms. We don't know what other health issues this one man had either. Taking ONE man's opinion is a bad thing to do.
I took 20,000 IU's for many months with k2.
I then had D levels checked by doctor, wasn't high, normal.
Everyone is different.
Blood levels of vitamins & mineral is highly misleading, and nearly irrelevant. The levels in your tissues, bones, cells, etc and their absorption/depletion rate is what counts
There are many variables, compounded.
@@Joe_C. IS THERE A SPECIFIC WAY YOU CAN CHECK THAT THEN?
@@Plainsimple67, hair sample test. But there's only a couple labs that know how to handle it and do it correctly/accurately
The man could have been supplementing a poor form of calcium without K2 mk7 . Above everything he wasn't under any supervision .
That's why Dr Berg always says that D3 supplementation must be done together with K2, so while increasing Calcium absorption, the K2 mobilizes Calcium out of the wrong places and puts it where it should be, like bones, teeth etc.
Made me so so sick
@@larrytabor2099 what made you sick, Larry? The d3?
@@bioshawna I think so. I stopped it and have been fine. I think it got too high
@@larrytabor2099 did you take k2 and magnesium with it? One must not only take D3. You need other nutrients to correctly uptake D3.
@@skeelatheskink8724 400mg
I've taken 100 000 IU for two months as an experiment and didn't have problems, I even kept taking between 10 000 to 20 0000 per day for more than a year. But I also took lots of vitamin K2 and magnesium at the same time.
**marioques,** - What are you smoking???????
*100,000 IU's ????*
10,000 - is okay as it's what I'm consuming resulting in pefect bloodwork.
20,000 - That's pushing it.
I took ~40,000 IU's with with k2 daily for 6 months, never felt better!, after that slowed down to 5,000-20,000 IU's daily
I took 2 billion IUs and now I'm bulletproof. I know so because someone just fired a 50 BMG at me and it just bounced back
I took 1 quatrillion IUs of Vit D. for 20 years and now I can harness zero point energy to build new stars with my semen.
@@SkyPuba1 + You're Superman....da hell?
Your wife must love you at night....LOL
I take 50.000 IU of d3 daily along with k2, ALA, And mag, Potassium and
6mg boron 6000 mg of Moringa. I eat nothing but beef bacon butter and eggs for 12 months now and at 72 im feeling better than ive ever felt in years.
the level of vitamin D3 in the blood should be checked periodically (blood test: 25(OH)D3). It should be around 80-100 ng/ml. Without monitoring this parameter, it is easy to overdose and poison the body, which can cause various diseases.
😄
🤦
Way to go fellow carnivore! I supplement as well, like 2 handfuls a day. 25,000 IU of D3 a day for sure. 4 capsules of Moringa a day. I know some CV's don't supplement but I don't think it will hurt.
@@elisabeth400?
Ten thousand IU’s would actually be beneficial for most people. 70% of people who get cancer are deficient in D3.
Vitamin K2 is essential when taking D3 especially at 10-30000 IUs a day. An hour of midday sun will produce 12-13000 IUs on a pale skinned person. 10,000 is not overdosing.
I agree, it sounds like something else might be going on that we don’t know about.
За час сгоришь на солнце
you will never get that much from the sun on daily
10,000 IU for me would be overdosing. I am just above serum range for 25-Hydroxy D using 2,000 IU D3 most days. If I took 10,000 IU then I would likely go significantly over. You need to measure to know how much to take. For most people, taking up to 5,000 IU would probably be fairly safe from significant overdosing.
The amount of D you get from sun varies according to where you are. In some places you can get 10,000-20,000 IU from 30 minutes of good exposure, which means not just arms/legs but a bit of body as well. However, that is not D3, it is provitamin D3 converted to previtamin D3 then the liver is able to rate limit further conversion. There is a difference to sun exposure and D3 supplements.
Nature has made it so that fair-skinned people in cold climates don't need much vitamin D; if one eats a varied diet, a low level of vitamin D in a fair-skinned person could just mean that the body isn't *storing* what it doesn't need.
How many people does this happen to. I'll bet this guy had other problems. Not getting enough vitamin d3 kills countless thousands yearly through immune system inadequacy.
Or he just doesn't need that much. Crazy idea, I know.
@@danwilson108510,000 isn’t toxic. Crazy right?
@@kava3957sure it's crazy. I'm sure 10K is nothing if you actually need vit d. But after taking it everyday for years, at some point your levels go up enough to where you don't need as much anymore. Imagine needing 4,000 calories a day to come back from being severely thin and almost dead. You'll reach a point where you can reduce calories. But if you keep going and later ask yourself why you became obese... well, it's simply a matter of not doing enough research.
Yes, and what most people do not know is that if we were out on a sunny day, we could get 25,000 IU's of Vitamin D through our skin. (lets say you are at the beach for the day)
years ago i was diagnosed with weak bone density so i tried to up my calcium. i took one calcium carbonate pill and within half an hour was on the floor with intense cramps that reminded me of birthing labour. thru research i switched it up to taking daily 3000iu of d3 and 240iu of k2. AND i started making sauerkraut (k2 source). and im feeling better. peace
Sauerkraut provides amazing benefits for gut microflora so you get a 2 for 1 benefit (3 if you take the gut-brain neural pathway into account)
I’ve been taking like 15,000 IU of D3 for years, and no side affects I can think of. More recently I’ve been adding K2 to the mix. I feel great.
where do you live?
I’ve been taking 20,000 IU and my autoimmune disease has been in remission!
I took 10,000iu D3 and K2 daily for about 5 years and never felt better. Lower inflammation and no more joint issues.
I've been taking d3 and k2 for 6 months and i feel great! Some days i take 16,000iu d3 and 400mcg k2 but its not very often, 8000iu d3 and 200mcg k2 is perfect
This amount of well-organized information is fantastic. Thank you so much for your work! Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!
Since magnesium and calcium share the same receptor in a cell , increased magnesium is needed to kick out excess calcium to deal with calcification in cells .
Excess calcium is the cause of calcification
I take around 16k iu daily, but with K2. At one point i got up to nearly 30k iu daily. Never had any noticeable negative side effects, and have been doing this for years.
me too
@@grammasgardenofideas5081 me too
1 person is a small data set, many people take 10,000 IU a day and I've never heard of this happening to anyone else.
me I had hypercalcemia after increasing to 4 tablets a day when i was very low levels of vitamin d turns out im very low levels of vitamin d they had not got it on my records hypo para no parathyroids they absorb vitamin d which absorbs your calcium to your bones im low in both very lucky i googled it before it was to late low hypo para not sure on the vitamin d but it was more my calcium has to stay around 2.1 went to 3.8 ended up in a&e. Normal calcium is around 10 higher is hyperparathyroidism and have to have surgery to remove the parathyroid glands now im taking just a low dose of 2.
My doc suggested d3 and I took 10,000 daily for a year. Then he requested labs and I was over 111 dl (above range), so he says to go down to 2,000 ui daily. I told him I was feeling the symptoms of hypercalcemia in my arms, with fatigue in the body and etc. I wasn't taking K2 with it daily though. I actually feel better now from cutting way back on D3 levels and taking k2 once a week. My last labs were 57dl (within range).
This happened to me after many years of taking 10,000iu D3 per day. My diet was also very high in dairy which is a big source of calcium. I've been 6 months without taking synthetic D but still having major issues with calcification, particularly in the arms which seems to be circulation issues, and/or calcified tendonitis. I was taking K2 with the D3 but that did not prevent the problem. I'm now supplementing magnesium and potassium, along with cod liver oil. Also fibrin busting enzymes (nattokinase), turmeric, lemon and bicarbonate. It's a slow recovery process. Celebs like Dr Eric Berg still recommending 10,000ius or more per day based on the fact that toxicity is not recorded in doses of less than 100k ius. I think the problems are only now emerging after long-term supplementation is producing problems.
dude...d3 is not a vitamin and anyone with a brain uses blood tests to evaluate their levels....but something else is going on with you because there are no cases on record i am aware of that 10k units a day caused toxicity..
Search for the Borax Conspiracy. Boron could help you tremendously
I usually take 5000IU but I have calcified tendonitis too.. however I don't think I have very high vitamin D levels nor did my blood show high calcium... Did your blood test calcium levels go up?
@@theancientsancients1769 I didn't do blood calcium tests.
You should have taken more vitamin K2 and magnesium. I've taken up to 100 000 per day for a few months and sometimes I had a discomfort with mu kidneys and resolved with more K2 and drinking more water.
Ta I found this very informative and well balanced. Glad to have found you.
He should be taking K2 along with vitamin D3. The two should always go together. These 2 vitamins work synergistically so that the calcium is deposited in the bones and not the arteries.
Fascinating deep explanation of this case. Thank you for your time and efforts. Never heard of you before but the algorithm thought i should watch you.
Excellent information & well presented. Thanks so much!
Sounds like the man failed to take Vitamin K along with the Vitamin D. Vitamin D triggers and supports rebuilding, and Vitamin K helps direct that healing properly.
I'd be curious what his VDR status is. He likely didn't have any VDR mutations. These are things that so many health practitioners don't discuss that make us all so unique. I have VDR mutations and barely stay above range taking 2000 IUs of D3 daily. I live in a very sunny place as well and am athletic so I'm outside all the time. I went off completely for almost a year (just taking cod liver oil, fish eggs, etc) and was so low, I was having symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. I pretty consistently alternate between 5000 IUs to 10,000 IUs currently and frequently take blood tests of Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium RBC. I'm not saying I agree with providers who also suggest everyone take high doses. It's so important to know the individual and understand why they might not be absorbing a particular mineral (or hormone) correctly.
vansan i am a male in my 60's and i take 10,000 iu of d3 daily along with 300mcg k2 mk7 and 1500 mcg k2 mk4. I also take magnesium glycinate, potassium citrate and a few other things. My d levels are always in the 89 to 94 ng/ ml which i have checked yearly, and ive never felt better. My wife keeps her levels around mine by supplementing 4000 iu d3 but the same of other supplements.
I have both mutations of vdr and my blood test came back 187; high but I still think this isn’t accurate. Very confused… having bilaterally Lower extremity weakness too. Stuff etc..
Who knows what this guy was doing. Dr. Campbell has several vitamin D3 videos on UA-cam going over actual long term studies.
This was fantastic information. Thank you
For years I have been taking 10,000 IU of D3 and 200 mcg K2 daily. The last 2 years I had blood tests and my D3 level was 82 and 83.
Been taking atleast 5-20k d3 daily for over 15 years. Haven't noticed any negatives
A man feed his cat only liver. After a long time, he found it became aggressive, especially when handled around the shoulders. It was explained to him by a vet that the cat had accumulated a lot of toxins around the shoulders from the liver which caused great pain to the cat when touched. The vet recommended removing liver from the cat's diet. Too much of a good thing will cause issues and your comments about toxins in the liver appear correct in this cat.
ty felix. important information well and simply presented. thanks
I just want to mention that copper toxicity is similar to another vid he did about calcium. It's all about bioavailability. We can be loaded with copper and basically copper toxic and be deficient at the same time. I believe the key is retinol.
Ceruloplasmin is copper's carrier protein. Retinol loads copper to this carrier protein so retinol is key to copper bioavailability. Liver has the proper ratio of Vit A to Vit D (10:1) and the proper ratio of copper/liver. Liver also has other elements that allows copper to become bioavailable.
Copper also controls iron and determines its bioavailability. Iron is tricky mineral too. And the amounts they put in our food (usually processed grain products) is extremely toxic causing huge amounts of oxidative stress. The type they use is toxic also. If the liver is overloaded with toxic amounts of iron, the liver has a harder time producing ceruloplasmin. And around it goes. Many doctors prescribe iron supplements when what they people really need is bioavailable copper to make the iron available. The whole iron deficiency issue is a myth and iron supplements create many more problems.
The best available info on this is Morley Robbins and the Root Cause Protocol.
Hey,
I have a video on Morley Robbins' Root Cause Protocol (ua-cam.com/video/Vts1s8EEmv4/v-deo.html) and also one on how to increase Ceruloplamin (ua-cam.com/video/Tw-UarY3mO4/v-deo.html) which might help you. There are a few things I like about his approach and a few things that I don't like. :)
@@felix-harder Thanks so much for the leads. Will check it out. Really enjoyed your video btw.
Morley has a book out now called Cure Your Fatigue which I think is a pretty good explanation of the why's of his protocol. My favorite interviews of him are with Wendy Meyers, Strong Sistas and Stephanie Centers.
I would agree wholeheartedly with him that a lot of disease can be traced to oxidative stress and the mitochondria. I also read the book by Derrick Lonsdale and Chandler Marrs which is basically dealing with the Mitochondria and Beri Beri (complex one and thiamine. Morley focuses on complex IV)
I went down this rabbit hole because of an iatrogenic illness and now am into year 5 of trying to fix it, btw.
Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, which parts of his protocol don't you like? I was a bit nervous with diatomaceous earth. Took me awhile to take that plunge. But I think I definitely benefitted from using whole food C and other whole food supplements vs synthetics. And staying away from Vit D supplements recommended by my PC. In a yt with Stephanie Centers and Jim Stephenson they say it can take up to four years to clear those high dose D supps. Stephenson's wife almost died because of high dose D.
Again, thank you for those leads. And thank you for your enlightening videos! I am getting so tired of all the mainstream misinformation about iron, calcium and Vit D and demonizing saturated fats/cholesterol etc. Will definitely be listening to many more of your vids.
@@susanwelch9087 really interesting
Thanks . Iron also affects testosterone levels . EO Nutrition talks about this . The quick solution is to donate blood -- iron levels are reduced . It also has other benefits .
Totally overdoses and doesn't know when to back off. Blames everyone else and quits.
Of course can't be bothered to study/learn.
Should give your body space/time to recover.
The goal is to balance body processes and keep things in a normal, optimal range.
We are not machines. The body is synergistic and fluctuates.
Give it what it needs and keep out what it doesn't.
And we live in a polluted world, so no perfect state.
Not like changing the oil on a car, full tank of gas, and then your set.
Just optimum range and conditions.
Your advice is golden. Thanks!
First of all, the level of vitamin D3 in the blood should be checked periodically (blood test: 25(OH)D3). It should be around 80-100 ng/ml (or 200-250 nmol/l). Without monitoring this parameter it is easy to overdose and poison the body, which can cause various diseases.
Secondly, vitamin D3 should always be taken with K2MK7, which directs calcium to bones and teeth, instead of leaving it in the veins and other blood vessels.
Without K2MK7 you can cause calcification of blood vessels and various organs, which is very dangerous.
In addition, as vitamin D3 is only soluble in -animal- fats, it should be taken with -such- fats, for example with pork lard. Otherwise it will have little effect.
Yes it's fat soluble.
This is absolutely not necessary though(MK4/MK7) unless you take superbiological-/physiological doses, period.
Prove me wrong.
@@MightDie This is plain logic: If there is a risk of tissue calcification by taking vitamin D3 alone, and K2MK7 eliminates this risk, then you should take both vitamins in a pair.
Of course, no one will stop you from experimenting on your own body. You may not have calcification at all.
@@marekbystrzewski385
Or quite simply, you don't overdose a fat soluble vitamin, period. EZ

In a different video he says that blood tests are not sufficient. He recommends using hair analysis.
@@humanyoda that could be done but I have yet to hear of an available hair test for vitamin D. Hair is often used for mineral analysis and works pretty well to show deficiencies but not so good to show excess.
@@geoffreylevens9045 in that video he was talking about detecting excesses.
@@humanyoda a doctor who'd had many years experience with this told me that for excess i.e. heavy metal toxicity, etc that hair was not accurate because there are many places the body can store things it doesn't want and the distribution is never even; you can have a lot in your heart muscle or thyroid gland and not much at all in hair or vis versa.
@@geoffreylevens9045 I see...
I've been on daily 5,000 IU of D3 and K2 for a few years now and I noticed my Potassium and Magnesium have been low but I never knew there was a connection between them or the vitamin A connection either.
Great video!
Thank you for sharing.

10,000 iu won't cause any issue if taken daily. It is not even close to get to toxic level. Not mentioning that there is a relationship between persons size and fat level to actual amount needed. A persons who is overweight will actually have to take a lot more to benefit from D3.
400 I.U. was a joke for me, take 1000, then 5000, my D test showed (low) I had to take 10.000 for my labs to show (NORMAL) get tested, I don't take any Calcium supplements (danger) I get it from food, I also take 100 I.U of K-2 and Magnesium
Absolutely love your channel! You speak well, clearly and very informative. Thank you. I would like to know if you can speak about thinning unhealthy looking hair and what can be done.
Everyone is different, of course, but iodine helped me with that.

Peace. Thank you for valid information. Very succinctly shared, concisely stated. Peace.
You dont get toxicity from 10.000 ui per day
This person did
When I did hair mineral analysis for a 3 year period every 3 months. I used to take only 5k iu 4 times a week on vitamin d. Also calcium supplements. I was also taking other supplements, sauna therapy and occasionally coffee enemas. The majority of my tests I had potassium loss. Which means on the test my potassium is through the roof. And I could hardly sweat. It was always my suspicion that vitamin d was wasting potassium in my kidneys. I stopped taking it except for a tiny bit in the calcium supplement. Most everything in this world diet wise is an attack on potassium. People who are copper toxic are potassium deficient, people who supplement calcium and vitamin d, and the standard American diet is sodium heavy. It’s no wonder vitamin d supplements are pushed so hard. Now I take vitamin d maybe once a week of 3-5000 iu. And take a good amount of magnesium/ potassium.
Yes, potassium is so important. I keep it close with one bottle in the kitchen, bath, bedroom, and purse.
Thank you so much for this information

Regular intake of 5000 I.U. showed still a lack of Vitamin D in a blood test. After 2 years of regularly taking it as a supplement.
This guy was either taking the wrong supplement or had other problems.
Important to share info on balanced nutrition. Thanks for sharing! Just one comment on your words about loosing hunger because of stress: That might be true for some people, for others, myself included, stresses give unnatural hunger and like cortisole cause overeating!
Great information! Thank you so much! You explain things so clearly and thoroughly! Again! Thank you so much!
Your so chill I like ur vids
Thankyou so much , very helpful .
This is all very interesting. Thank you for your videos. I do want to add that the older a person gets, the less efficient the skin becomes at processing the sun's rays and the less efficient your body becomes at converting the sun's rays into vitamin D. I have also read that as much as 75% of the population living in the United States above Georgia are deficient in Vitamin D. I have never personally known anyone who had any trouble or damage to their body from taking any supplement. Doctor's prescribe Vitamin D2 when you are deficient in Vitamin D. However, Vitamin D2 does not absorb as well as Vitamin D3. From my research, taking an average of Vitamin D3 of about 3000iu to 5000iu a day will help you get your vitamin D levels up. It is important to bring Vitamin D3 levels up in the body to over 50%-90% in my opinion. The higher percentage of Vitamin D in your blood, the more immune functions are activated within your system. Some immune functions will not work at all unless your Vitamin D levels are high enough in your blood. I also take larger doses of Vitamin K2 m-4 at about 100mg per 1000iu of vitamin D3. I also take 1250 mg of magnesium oxide daily and have plenty of sodium in my diet. I need to research Vitamin A and potassium too. Thanks again for your insights. I am eager to learn more.
Unfortunately, side effects from supplements are very common. I talk about this in more detail here: ua-cam.com/video/ZD043nSYK2g/v-deo.html
Magnesium oxide is inorganic and is extremely poorly absorbed by the body. my tip:
take the best organic:magnesium bisglycinate. This is recorded perfectly
Try Magnesium Glycinate. Search up bio availability of both
@@heikofischer8692 I'd bought magnesium oxide, but thankfully I saw a YT video that mentioned this. Threw it away unopened.

If you taking vitamin D 3 high dose. You have to test it 6 months to 1 year. For me I was talking vitamin D 3 average 5000 IU daily and my test results last month was only 55 . But I also take magnesium and K 2 with that and I have no problems.
Thanks for this info it connected a few dots for me.

Woah. Found a jewel of a channel . Thanks !
Hi Felix. Great work. Your channel is very helpful and informative. What are the antagonists and cofactors one might be able to take if actively suffering from vitamin d toxicity to assist in detox? And second is there a potential for vitamin d toxicity to cause inflammation to increase, via hs-Crp marker? Possible theory I have is disruption of tissue homeostasis from the vitamin d
Natural VDR antagonists are rosemary and sage which contain carnosic acid. Adding these herbs to your diet will help to unblock them and restore their function and assist in regulating the vitamin D endocrine system. Curcumin also helps to a lesser degree. Co-factors to help detox are magnesium, K2, vitamin A, (retinol) B vitamins, boron silica, potassium, copper and sunlight.

For years I have tried to take vitamins so I have been through a gamut of them and as usual they all always make me nauseated. I stopped taking any supplements just have a good plant based diet and now I feel better than ever. My blood test are great every six months no vitamin deficiency, no cholesterol issues, and best of all all my joint pain is gone and head fog is gone and I always have tons of energy. Eat better exercise, drink water and get rest you should do well.
I feel better not taking them also. My mother lived almost a hundred and never took anything not even an aspirin. Sometimes I wonder if it's the Vitamins and junk people eat that are hurting everyone.
I know some people who have taken vitamins and ended up with cancer anyway.
We should eat what God gave us in its natural state. Get toxic people out of our life. Refuse to let any stress enter our lives, love our neighbor, and love God above all things and we will do quite well in life.
And don't forget to enjoy the beauty of nature God has given us as a gift.

It Is difficult to predict the optimal dosage of vitamin D. It is a good idea to check your levels of 25(OH)D regularly. I do it twice per year. 8000UI daily w/o problem (also k2, magesium, 5000 vit A).
Magnesium can block K2 so make sure you you take them at different time of the day
Exactly!
It is axiomatic in toxicology that EVERY chemical is a poison: the DOSE makes the difference between benign and malign effects.

Eight years for me on daily 10,000 IU vitmine D and 120 mcg vitamine K2 in a coconut oil base.
Helga Bruin i also take 10k iu daily but a bit more or k2 including both mk4 and mk7. Here's to your good health!
Ive taken 5000IUs a day for a year, Im getting healthier and healthier every day, recovering from autoimmune disease. The health store seller in my city has taken the same dose for several years. 10.000 is too much it'll just strain the liver but 2-5 seems okay. And I also take vitamin K2, 100ug.
10,000 is NOT TOO MUCH... You could easily do 10X what you are doing with ZERO PROBLEM. Big Pharma has been spreading LIES about Vitamin D for decades.
With 5600 IU is ok with 200mg K2 ?
@@marathonintech7243 I take 200 yes.

It's important to take vitamin d3 supplement with fatty food for absorption. I took 2000IUs (prescribed by my doctor) for 3 months before a total hysterectomy operation in Feb 2021. No other supplement. My incision was sealed with surgical glue. Most people get stitches/staples. After operation, surgeons/doctors/nurses all complimented me on how firm/flat/healed my abs/pelvis was. I was off pain medication after 2 days. Usually people take it for about a week after surgery. At my 1 month follow-up with surgeon (he was my main surgeon who couldn't see me in person at hospital previously due to Covid rules), he remarked how firm my organs were & assistant resident surgeon with him said I'm healing remarkably well. I have reduced my intake to 1000IUs, sometimes more or less depending on where my levels are at. At time of operation my vitamin d level was around 48 ng/ml.
During the years of covid a couple of doctors are recommending 50,000 units of vitamin d3.while I don't do nearly that,but I've added it to my supplements.thank you
I saw people recommending this high of an amount on social media during the height of the pandemic too. In fact, I saw people recommending 100k IU. I thought that was way too much to be taking regularly without a doc’s direction.
@@spacelinx Agreed, dr Eric Berg explains on youtube that vitamin D supplements get absorbed at 60-80%. Taking this into account and the optimal concentration of vitamin d in the blood he tells us that around 6k IU makes this concentration and with the absorption rate, 10k IUs of vitamin d is the sufficient baseline for this. However, you may already have varying levels of it in your blood due to skin colour, sun exposure, general diet, and different absorption rates, so bloodwork is necessary. Anecdotally this is probably fine. I'd say 100k is excessive by about 9x even as a treatment. If you really want a secure vitamin profile, you'd need like 20k but even that would cause some minor problems in the long term.
@@blueicer101 I hope you look into other sources than these youtubers, they are making mistakes constantly so don't take everything as 100% truth.
Caveat Emptor. Those are not MDs by the way.
I appreciate this information. I've been on 50,000 iu's weekly for awhile now . And I've not been feeling my best
You taking K2 as well? It is vital to do so to prevent calcification of soft tissue and put it into the bone. Also ensure you are taking a good quality magnesium. And your potassium and sodium need to be in balance.
@@ellem6050 k2 always makes me feel odd
You need to take k2 and maybe magnesium with it. Many videos of that here on youtube.
@@keemoify k2 always makes me feel weird . Gives me anxiety
So you are talking a little over 1mg. That is one milligram.
Multiply your iu by 0.025 to find micrograms. There are 1000 mcg in a mg.
I've been on 20,000 IU, I recently learnt about Magnesium, so I've added that and Vitamin K2 as well. Magnesium is required in every conversion process of Vitamin D. So far so good, and never had Covid at all. No masks, no genetic jabs.
Thank you Felix❤
Hmmm this explains a lot. I was prescribed 10,000 IU Vitamin D once per week, and I took it for a few years. My new doctor told me that I should not have taken it for more than a few months.
@S Marks your second doctor was wrong. 10,000 in a week is nothing. Newer research shows that many people should be taking that much a day, especially in the winter, and in the Northern Hemisphere. Vit D deficiency was one of the absolute major causes of bad results during the Covid pandemic..
you need to take Vit D every day!!!
Worst way to take d vitamin one time a week.
I have kept an eye on the latest science and information on dietary supplements for years, and they vary too much for most people to take advice entirely seriously. There are experts letting us know that if all people took a multivitamin daily there would be much less issues with the common deficiencies, blood counts, etc, and no adverse effects. Some advice more restrictive and to keep levels within what a natural diet would contain. Others advice to max out on vitamins and insist there is health benefits for most people in it. Most advice is generally to take high doses from 3 to 6 months when needed, let your doctor check levels at these intervals and then back to a more basic level.
Just look at the advice on Vitamin C; you can find the best of scientists and diet experts advising anything from 60mg to 90, to 100, 200, 400 mg, and some up to 2 grams as a daily dosage. Some say it has to be from natural source, others say to just take it with food and it is just as efficient. Take youtube for what it is and with vitamins, advice vary.
folks need to keep in mind that Vitamin D needs it's cofactors to function: calcium, magnesium, K2. Some Vitamin D supplements include K2, but you still need the magnesium. I take it by doing 30 minute foot soaks in Magnesium Chloride. Most people get enough calcium if they consume dairy.
I am fair-skinned and I live in the tropics, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I was taking 5,000 IUs per day. A recent blood test showed my blood concentration of D3 was 90 nmol/L. - Ok, but sub-optimal.
The optimal appears to be around 120 nmol/L.
Where does that figure come from?
Well, as we create most of our vitamin D3 by being exposed to sunlight and since the industrial revolution, we no longer spend most of our time working outdoors, which is how we've evolved to live, it's no good taking an average of the population, that figure would be way too low! So, what a group of medical researchers did was take samples from three groups, monkeys, a tribe of Africans that live their ancestral lifestyle and consume their ancestral diet, and lifeguards who work outside very day. In each of these groups, the average was found to be120nmol/L.
They also ran tests to determine the optimal level of D3 for regulating blood calcium, it turned out to be 120 nmol/L. At that level, it was equally effective at regulating blood calcium in both directions.
So there you have the figure and despite living in the tropics, as a fair skinned northern European, 5000 IUs per day doesn't quite get me there. For this reason, I have just increased my dose to 5000 IUs and 10000 IUs on alternate days (7000 IUs would probably be ideal for me). Important to note, I also take K2, at 125 mcg per day and I don't supplement my calcium intake.
I can't believe my doctors have had me taking 50,000 IU every other day! No wonder I haven't improved, and felt worse over the past 10 years! Im glad I know now, so that I can try and correct things! ❤
That's supposed to be only for relatively short period of time. More usually, this dosage is prescribed to be taken once a week.
I read somewhere that the daily dose should be around 400 IUs.
@@Kitiwake 400 is for mice :)

New research shows vitamin D had no side effects even in higher dose . Check Dr Campbell. However 50k is very high. 4000IU with vitamin K2 MK7 variant and separately magnesium and some potassium is good if you don't get much sunlight
I think a lot of people are overdosing on supplements. There's all sorts of health gurus inspiring people to take high doses of suppliments plus smoothies packed with vitamins and liver etc...
So if the supplements make me feel better and I can get out of bed and go back to work, should I stop them?
Absolute brilliance~
I literally take 50,000 IU daily for the past 4years. I’m southeast asian descent and very tan. I had had zero negative effects, my bloodwork showed my measurements at 130 when i got my bloodwork done in October.
Correct on almost all of this. I will say ppl need to do homework on imbalance. D3 Toxicity is very rare. I feel very high (even up to 40K IU daily is good for ppl who are mindful of the things you mention here. A proper amount of Vit K2, magnesium (i like transdermal product), careful potassium supplementation etc...monitoring levels are a must at this level of Vit D3
...Or any higher levels of Vit D3. Be aware that big pharma has put their thumb on this & other scales...they don't really want you to be properly supplementing so...consider this when reading studies
Underrated comment.☝️
You don't need 10,000 per day much less 3x a day. I take it twice a week 5000 with K2. Every one is different.
D3 depletes magnesium at higher doses, so you have to supplement with Magnesium at higher levels. It also depends on what your blood levels actually are too. Some people will take high doses and still remain low or balanced, but will still need Magnesium to compensate. It's not as simple as just take D3, and people definitely need to do a better job explaining that.
Thanks Felix!
Absolutely nothing wrong with D3 @ 10,000 I.U.s daily
Vitamin D3 is a miracle vitamin to me. I started taking 40000 and 80000 IU for about 3 years reducing that amount to around 30000 now take 10000 once a week and no side effect and fibromyalgia, back pain and knee problems improved drastically. Migraine headaches reduced and I take along with K2 , vitamin A, Magnesium and Coenzyme Q10. I think the benefits outweigh the cons. Vitamin D3 toxicity is rare and last Blood Test showed I was in the upper limit so I have degreased the amount.
I advise you to take ginkgo or vitamin B3, niacin is useful for migraines
So he blames the industry because he didn't do his due diligence? Brilliant! Absolutely no self accountability. I mean I was told by a doctor to take vitamin d, and I did, but I wasn't told about taking other things or it causing problems. It caused problems. Was it the vitamins fault? No. I should have done my own homework.
Awesome ❤🙏👏🏻
dude what exactly is your education and practical experience to be telling people that vit-d is toxic at these doses?
show me a single study from a peer-reviewed journal supporting what you claim
One size doesnt fit all...
What works for one person might not suit someone else .
There was a research involving taking 50000IU a day for a year. There was no sideeffects whatsoever. He must have had some other health issues.
Was that D3 or D2? Was that really daily or weekly? I've seen high dose D3 safety relating to weekly, but not daily. Also, that was to reverse specific conditions, such as statin intolerance. Doctors might prescribe 50,000 IU weekly but that is often D2, not D3.
Did the research use any sort of scanning sensitive enough to measure increased calcification? Were the subjects under any other conditions, such as medications, restricted diets, etc? Maybe you should cite the research?
Anyone taking over 5,000 IU D3 a day without testing serum 25-Hydroxy D and calcium is an idiot asking for future problems.

Doctors love to latch onto these types of stories to scare people. Proper supplementation is the key.
Ever since following this channel, I've implemented more natural sunlight exposure as my vitamin D. I've been told calcinosis/calcification in the bones is one major vitamin d overdose side effects.
Vitamin D3 is a hormone. It is extremely tricky because on top of everything you have said, it is fat soluble and if you carry extra fat on your body, it can settle into your fat cells and be of no use to you! That being said, when someone loses weight... where do all the fat soluble vitamins/hormones go? The delicate dance that goes on between Vitamin A, K2 (some don’t even realize that K1 is a radically different Vitamin than K2!) and D3, add to that the balance of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium! ALWAYS be aware of your body! Get tests done! Insist on GRASS FED animals! And NEVER EVER eat filters! Look at your furnace filter and the filter in your humidifier when they’re ready for a change. Yuck! And do not take calcium supplements. Our diets are already calcium heavy. A great book on the subject is “Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox” by Kate Rhéaume-Bleue.
Yeah, those meat fillers and GLUE are NO joke! It's a form of msg. Plus another elephant in the calcium room, emf.
"The research that has been performed suggests that the mode of action is on the ion channels in cell membranes called voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). The EMF radiation seems to activate ion channels and allows the interior of the cell to fill with calcium which then can proceed to activate membrane breakdown and other actions within the cell. Oxidative stress can involve an excess of calcium within the interior of the cell which leads to other free radical chemicals - electrically active chemicals which antioxidant nutrients can help deactivate."
