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
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..
@@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.
@@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.
Yes, I have an allergy to Candida Albicans for 30 years since I was over prescribed antibiotics as a teenager. Vit D has helped my mood enormously. Only been taking it 3-4 months, need to check my levels again to make sure it's not too high now.
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.
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
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.
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
Vitamin D toxicity is simply not a thing and 10000 IUs is not an excessive daily amount. The recommended amounts are so low as to be insignificant. I get very suspicious of anyone who pushes this 'calcification' narrative.
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.
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 have taken 10,000 D3 for 5 years with K2 as Mk7. The opposite has happened, the calcium in the skin I used to have is gone, I noticed reduction of plaque on my teeth. The biggest surprise from MK7, I was diagnosed with a condition that causes arthritis spurs on the spine, a recent xray showed the spuring was gone! To summarize he is full of it.
Jon me too. I've been taking 10 000iu d3 with k2 from covid. I no longer need my steroid inhaler for asthma. I was taking 4 puffs a day. I had my breath test and for my age height and weight I should have been 380..I was 4 30 over 💯 %. I was reduced to 1 puff . Now I don't need it at all because vitamin d3 is an anti inflammatory. I won't be giving up my amazing vitamin d3 anytime soon.
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.
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.
If this was true then anyone going out into sun for more than 10 mins in summer is in trouble . im on 50,000 a day + k2 mag,sel.zinc in the winter . psoriasis cured.
Yes!! These are the posts I want to read. This guy is bought and paid for by big pharma. You cannot overdose on 10,000IU/day. Good to hear that common sense has prevailed. Happy for you 😊
Well, you need to read up about how the skin doesn't just keep producing vitamin D like an overworked factory worker. There is an autoregulation within the body's subsystems.
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.
@@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)
Just wanted to Add: with the mention in Video, that the wrong form of Vitamin B-12 is: "Cyanocobalamin"; the best form of B-12 is supposed to be: "Methylcobalamin". Methylcobalamin is the form of (B-12) to look for, which is usually in (parentheses), next to B12 -- on the back of the Bottle.
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
He's not a doctor or specialist, he's just a chatty palpitator who wants to act like a know-it-all probably attributing the misuse of steroid hormones with vitamins.
@@RapYouCanUnderstand yes I've read this also while researching vitamins on Google. Most people with cancer have very low vit D levels. You would think findings like that would become much more well known so that doctors can help people ward off cancer easily with vit D supplements. But they don't make money off us if we don't get sick.
@@brettymike is that B1 and B7? Interesting I started supplementing with B1 but I have all the symptoms of low B7 also, I need to supplement with probably all the b vitamins.
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.
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
This guy did not take K2. It is highly recommended to take K2 and drink 2.5 litres of water to prevent calcification risk. Also good to take with it magnesium, zinc and B6, cod liver oil. Of course, ideally you should do a blood test first so that all doses can be adjusted individually. For me, it is rather a lack of knowledge and lack of taking caution, caused these consequences.
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
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..
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?
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.
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.
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 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.
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 .
I would take his post with huge grain of salt, based on many medical studies vitamin D3 toxicity starts at 100K IU daily, i.e. 10k IU does not cause what he claims ..
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).
Awesome information, as always, Felix. I get my Vit A and Vit D from a high quality fish oil. The synthetic D is not good. And I love how you end the video by saying the wrong supps can destroy your health but the right ones can completely change your life. SOOOO true!
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
I’ve just had my lab results back and vitamin d is 300 ng (toxicity )I was eating a whole tin of ican codliver , had all the symptoms , dehydrated , dizziness , brainfog , fatigue, edema appetite loss
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.
I take 12,000 IU daily due to where we live, get blood tested regularly and added a K2 as well as balanced my electrolytes and mineral intakes. It's important to test your blood when / if supplementing for anything. Don't even supplement just to supplement, get tested and treat any deficiencies.
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.
Magnesium oxide is inorganic and is extremely poorly absorbed by the body. my tip: take the best organic:magnesium bisglycinate. This is recorded perfectly
I take 10,000 iu of D3, plus K2 and a good quality electrolyte. Where I live the sun is intense all day. Since I have fair skin, I try to avoid long exposure. The body generates about 25,000 iu of Vit D with 20 minutes of exposure. So 10,000 does not a toxic level. I’ve been taking it for years and I’m fine.
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.
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 plus 375mg magnesium.
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.
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.
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.
What's important is to have your level tested. I have been taking 5000iu of D3 w K2 for 3 years plus multivitamins with another dosage of several thousand. My blood serum level is only 46ng/ML. Many sources reference 40-60ng/ML as optimal. Others say anything above 40ng/ML to 100ng/ML is optimal. 150ng/ML and above is considered a toxic level. I will be increasing my D3 to 10,000iu and then have another blood serum test for vitamin D to determine if it has increased. My current level is mediocre for a 76 year-old man.
Thank you for your videos; I enjoy them. However, I'm just wondering here. You've based yourself on someone's Reddit post - how sure are we this person is real and telling the truth? How much and how long did the person take the vitamin D? Quality of supplements? General diet? Also you've not defined what a high dosage in vitamin D is. And how long is too long, you've not defined this either.How do you know of the effects of D supplementation on calcium - are there studies you've based analysis on? You've not addressed the quality of cod liver oil supplements as many go rancid on the shelf. While I'm definitely not trying to refute what you say - otherwise I wouldn't spend my time watching you - but you need to qualify and back up what you say more with some studies and not only your analysis of what might/could happen.
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).
I'm impressed with your videos. It would max out quality if you put research links on your video descriptions. I'll keep watching though. Thanks for the videos.
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.
Thanks for pointing out the interactions and balance between different minerals and trace elements, it's an close to or equally relevant factor a dosing itself.
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. ❤️🙏

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
Like only 40 minutes per day in the sun is Over 20k to 40k iu of Vitamin D... So for a healthy person that's nothing... If not, work with your doc. God bless ❤
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.
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.
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!
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! ❤
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 was taking 10000 IU 3 x times daily for 2 years, and I think it may have led to my gull balder getting affected and removed and water increasing in my legs. Thanks for the tip about the Hair test. Excellent Video!
@@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.
@@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.
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..
I'm 80. Started taking 10,000 D3, K2 and magnesium. Result all my aches and pains (lumbar spine and sciatica) cleared up almost instantly. I also take AREDS2 for my eyes which has many other vitamins in it.
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.
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.
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.
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. I have a sluggish thyroid. You really need to know what you are doing to take iodine. I hope you will educate yourself if you choose to try it.
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...
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.
Seems that was not caused by taking vit D3 but vit A alone. We do not need to supplement vit A as you find this in abundance in eggs, fish, red meat, diary and liver, perhaps only supplement extra when you are sick in natural form and not as an everyday essential in a supplement form. Vit D3 in the other hand is essential and we need it everyday with a balance keto diet specially taken with magnesium as this will activate vit D3

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.
I’ve been taking 20,000 IU and my autoimmune disease has been in remission!
Can you tell me what autoimmune disease you have and is it still getting better or gone completely. Thank you.
Love hearing this for you!
What brand do you use?
Yes, I have an allergy to Candida Albicans for 30 years since I was over prescribed antibiotics as a teenager. Vit D has helped my mood enormously. Only been taking it 3-4 months, need to check my levels again to make sure it's not too high now.
Here in India, doctors prescribe 60,000 IU , once a week for 4 weeks. For deficiency.
The daily requirement is only 600-800IU depending on your age.
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.
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
I would always have it checked analytically to see how much of it actually ends up in the blood
Which suplement brand of k2 plz
Yes. You can’t take too much vitamin d without taking k.
@@wansumarsungoh6527Just find a reputable brand not some cheapy one from china.
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.

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

Vitamin D toxicity is simply not a thing and 10000 IUs is not an excessive daily amount. The recommended amounts are so low as to be insignificant. I get very suspicious of anyone who pushes this 'calcification' narrative.
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.

I have taken 10,000 D3 for 5 years with K2 as Mk7. The opposite has happened, the calcium in the skin I used to have is gone, I noticed reduction of plaque on my teeth. The biggest surprise from MK7, I was diagnosed with a condition that causes arthritis spurs on the spine, a recent xray showed the spuring was gone! To summarize he is full of it.
Jon me too. I've been taking 10 000iu d3 with k2 from covid. I no longer need my steroid inhaler for asthma. I was taking 4 puffs a day. I had my breath test and for my age height and weight I should have been 380..I was 4 30 over 💯 %. I was reduced to 1 puff . Now I don't need it at all because vitamin d3 is an anti inflammatory. I won't be giving up my amazing vitamin d3 anytime soon.
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.
If this was true then anyone going out into sun for more than 10 mins in summer is in trouble . im on 50,000 a day + k2 mag,sel.zinc in the winter . psoriasis cured.

Vitamin D your body makes from the sun is different than chemistry made in a lab pills.
What d3 and zinc do you use please?
Well, you need to read up about how the skin doesn't just keep producing vitamin D like an overworked factory worker. There is an autoregulation within the body's subsystems.

@@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.

Underrated comment.☝️
This guy did not take K2. It is highly recommended to take K2 and drink 2.5 litres of water to prevent calcification risk. Also good to take with it magnesium, zinc and B6, cod liver oil. Of course, ideally you should do a blood test first so that all doses can be adjusted individually. For me, it is rather a lack of knowledge and lack of taking caution, caused these consequences.
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
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.
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.
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 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 .
I would take his post with huge grain of salt, based on many medical studies vitamin D3 toxicity starts at 100K IU daily, i.e. 10k IU does not cause what he claims ..
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).
Awesome information, as always, Felix. I get my Vit A and Vit D from a high quality fish oil. The synthetic D is not good. And I love how you end the video by saying the wrong supps can destroy your health but the right ones can completely change your life. SOOOO true!
Totally overdoses and doesn't know when to back off. Blames everyone else and quits.

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.

Who knows what this guy was doing. Dr. Campbell has several vitamin D3 videos on UA-cam going over actual long term studies.
Been taking atleast 5-20k d3 daily for over 15 years. Haven't noticed any negatives
What positives?
A guy on Reddit…
Where anyone with a brain cell goes to figure out a problem.
Respect for your knowledge sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
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
@@MightDie Think and do what you want.

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.
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.
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.
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..
I’ve just had my lab results back and vitamin d is 300 ng (toxicity )I was eating a whole tin of ican codliver , had all the symptoms , dehydrated , dizziness , brainfog , fatigue, edema appetite loss
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.
I take 12,000 IU daily due to where we live, get blood tested regularly and added a K2 as well as balanced my electrolytes and mineral intakes. It's important to test your blood when / if supplementing for anything. Don't even supplement just to supplement, get tested and treat any deficiencies.
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.
@@maxmeier532 .
I take 10,000 iu of D3, plus K2 and a good quality electrolyte. Where I live the sun is intense all day. Since I have fair skin, I try to avoid long exposure. The body generates about 25,000 iu of Vit D with 20 minutes of exposure. So 10,000 does not a toxic level. I’ve been taking it for years and I’m fine.
This amount of well-organized information is fantastic. Thank you so much for your work! Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!
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.
He heard, but didn't research... Thanks for sharing this man!!

I have been taking 10.000 units for 10 or so years and never had an issue.
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 plus 375mg magnesium.
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.
@@marathonintech7243 10K IU is much better with a high-quality D3
@@marathonintech7243the best is to buy one with K2 and D in one so it gets right. :)
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.
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.
A single person without a controlled environment is not an evidence.
What's important is to have your level tested. I have been taking 5000iu of D3 w K2 for 3 years plus multivitamins with another dosage of several thousand. My blood serum level is only 46ng/ML. Many sources reference 40-60ng/ML as optimal. Others say anything above 40ng/ML to 100ng/ML is optimal. 150ng/ML and above is considered a toxic level.
I will be increasing my D3 to 10,000iu and then have another blood serum test for vitamin D to determine if it has increased. My current level is mediocre for a 76 year-old man.
Thank you for your videos; I enjoy them. However, I'm just wondering here. You've based yourself on someone's Reddit post - how sure are we this person is real and telling the truth? How much and how long did the person take the vitamin D? Quality of supplements? General diet?
Also you've not defined what a high dosage in vitamin D is. And how long is too long, you've not defined this either.How do you know of the effects of D supplementation on calcium - are there studies you've based analysis on? You've not addressed the quality of cod liver oil supplements as many go rancid on the shelf.
While I'm definitely not trying to refute what you say - otherwise I wouldn't spend my time watching you - but you need to qualify and back up what you say more with some studies and not only your analysis of what might/could happen.
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!
I have been using 200,000 i.u. (two hundred thousand) D3 along with k2 every day for almost two years now..............Without any problem.
what co-factors do you take beside Vit D3 and K2?
I'm impressed with your videos. It would max out quality if you put research links on your video descriptions. I'll keep watching though. Thanks for the videos.
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.
Thanks for pointing out the interactions and balance between different minerals and trace elements, it's an close to or equally relevant factor a dosing itself.
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.

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.

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.
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.
The liver isnt a filter. Its more akin to a chemical factory. It detoxifies by releasing chemicals not by physically filtering out toxins.
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.

I take vitamin d3 with k2 and magnesium. Also, a very low dairy diet so calcium isn’t high.
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.

Great information! Thank you so much! You explain things so clearly and thoroughly! Again! Thank you so much!
ty felix. important information well and simply presented. thanks
Seems that was not caused by taking vit D3 but vit A alone. We do not need to supplement vit A as you find this in abundance in eggs, fish, red meat, diary and liver, perhaps only supplement extra when you are sick in natural form and not as an everyday essential in a supplement form. Vit D3 in the other hand is essential and we need it everyday with a balance keto diet specially taken with magnesium as this will activate vit D3
