Hello Dr. Berg. Could you please add the name of nutrition for the low acidic stomach to your video - 5:45 ? You pronounce the name very quickly and do not have any graphics beside the green bubbles to grab the name of the supplement. Can you improve this video with this information?
what I currently take. Morning: one omega 3 capsule with vitamin E in it. D3+K2 in one casule + one glas with magnesium since mag + d3+k2 work best together and lastly my vitamin B complex with all the B vitamins. Evening natural alma Vitamin c + Iron Before sleep another capsule omega 3 + second time magnesium but I wait and dont take iron and mag together although there is no clear evidence they influence each other negatively. What I might try is taking d3+k2+mag right before sleep and take iron and vitamin c earlier during the day. The only thing I would never take in the evening is my vitamin b complex. For those who feel tired and drained during the day this really changed it for me, it gives more energy which makes sense since it also takes action in the metabolsim and crabs cycle (procuding energy ATP) I dont see a reason or benefit taking it at night. I might add one or two other things but thats how I currently take it and I never take them on an empty stomach but thats just a personal thing.
Well Dr Berg did say that you don't NEED to take Magnesium WITH Vitamin D3. Just that you need to ALREADY have magnesium in your body to absorb it. So you can take Mag at dinner time to help with relaxation and sleep
One of the best features of this UA-cam channel is that the Description Section breaks down what is in the video. That narrative I find to be so valuable. And I appreciate that he (or his wife) takes the time to do that. Maqnifique!
Have been watching your videos for 8 month. Just as I retired - was interested in improving my overall health now that I had ‘free time’ to look after myself. I’ve lost weight that I needed to lose, my blood sugar is now down from diabetic range to lower than pre-diabetes and I’m working on it to ensure it stays there. Also, lowered my blood pressure … and medications the doctor prescribed. Working on getting off all medications … My goal is to be medication free prior to age 71. I’m turning 70 in a few months - so that’s my year plan. Thanks for all the suggestions and information. This is stuff we should have learned in school .. during ‘health’ classes. AND health classes should be mandatory in high school .. It’s hard to change the world with all its ’bad habits’. Thanks for sharing with us your time and knowledge. God bless you!
Also suppelement which shouldn't be consumed with certain food. I've learned that iron shouldn't be consumed with hot drinks. You should at least wait a half hours.
I take the D3/K2 with Mg because this combo seems to help me sleep. So many of your videos have lifesaving information Dr. Berg. Thank you!! As a video suggestion how about more on sarcopenia. All of us who live long enough will deal with life-threatening frailty. Prior to my father’s death, at 79 he was stuck in his tub all day because he didn’t realize he wasn’t strong enough to pull himself out. So ideas on how to stay strong might interest your fans. I’ve started using your Keto Essentials Aminos for the leucine. To save muscle I am also taking creatine, lifting weights, and have decreased fat a bit to increase protein intake. Thinking about going from OMAD to TMAD for optimal protein absorption. In any event, thank you for all your help.
@@curiouscat3384 Thanks for the reply. Sarcopenia is more involved than that. It starts around 40 and (in my understanding) has a lot to do with increased protein need. I've been lifting and a fitness buff since I was 30 yet they'll come a day when without a multifaceted approach involving protein and supplements I might not be strong enough to get out of a bathtub. That's why I was wondering about adding an extra meal to increase protein absorption.
@@japanluv Lucky you with no problem sleeping. 😃 I'm no expert but I know it's important to take fat-soluble vitamins (like D and K) with fat. (So maybe after a meal.) A commenter here mentioned that it might be best to take D in the am. He might be right as there is some information out there that points to this idea.
Super helpful. In the morning I take a glass of water with apple cider vinegar and lemon water mixed with some psyllium husks and inulin powder all in the single large glass of water. Then I have blueberries and an avocado and a carrot and celery stalk. Then I take 15 supplements along with 20 superfoods powders in a glass with carrot juice, V8 juice, green smoothie, and kombacha. Then I have a handful of blanched almonds. With that routine each morning I am born again and feel fantastic within an hour of waking up no matter what I did the night before. All of those healthy foods and supplements and powders keeps me in perfect health even as a senior and I am still slim. Then I do 25 pushups, 25 situps, 1 minute plank, and 15 minutes of rebounding, which is healthier for you than an hour of jogging (according to NASA studied on rebounders for astronauts).
Would you mind sharing what supplements and superfood powders you take please? What I've been doing for the past few years doesn't seem to have an effect, so not sure what to take. TIA
People need to realize we don’t all have the same body types. You need to experiment and see what works best with you even with all the information at hand.
Good info, thanks Dr. Berg. I read somewhere that vitamins (that give energy) should be taken in the morning, with a meal, which makes perfect sense. And minerals (that repair the body) should be taken at night, with last meal of the day or before bed.
I was having pain on my left side, (under my rib) usually after I ate and had a bulge. I saw a regular doctor and 2 different digestive doctors and none of em knew why. They said it was just fat which I'm at a "normal" weight. I had an ultra sound, a colonoscopy, and endoscopy and all was fine. One of the digestive doctors wanted to run all kinds of tests on me as well. Thankfully I had found your videos during this time and Tudca is what helped, I'm feeling much better and bulge is almost gone!!! I have been doing mostly Keto and intermediate fasting also. Thank you so much Dr Berg!!!! I appreciate that you truly want to help people. 🌠
I had this problem too!! I even had to go to the emergency room last year because of it and no one could help me. You are the only one I’ve ever come across who has also experienced this
@@adventuresofkatekat Omg, why did you have to go to the ER? Mine would hurt pretty bad after eating so I knew it was something to do with digestion and it seemed like food would get stuck where the bulge was. Interestingly the digestive doctors never said anything about Tudca. I think mine was also from eating a lot of carbs and not getting any exercise when this all came to a head. What has helped you? Are you completely better?
@@svv3244 because it was sticking out and hurting very bad ☹️ I thought maybe something was wrong with my spleen. It happened a few times after too. Because I live in Canada I had to wait almost 6 hours in the ER and then I didn’t get much for help. I have been searching on the internet to find out what could be the cause of this problem and I found nothing. I felt really alone and then I randomly saw your comment on this video and it was such a blessing to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing this. I am going to try tudca :) Can I ask if you did anything else to help? I cut out carbs and that seems to help a lot.
@@adventuresofkatekat Geez, so sorry you've had that experience. I have had it hurt really bad at times (was usually after eating) but never went to ER. It would get hard during those times. One of my friends said one of her friends has same syptoms but they didn't know what it was as her doctors weren't helpful either. I've never been able to find much info or anyone else with this to talk to. So I just tried to cut carbs, eat better, usually one meal a day. I've fasted 48 hours a couple times but Ima do that more often as I think it really has helped. I think that Tudca definitely helped, was like 'the icing on the cake', lol. That is when my bulge finally was feeling better & getting smaller. I try to remember to take it with meals and also take apple cider vinegar in the mornings and before my meal. I also massage that area to try to get things moving. I also try to walk at least 20 minutes a day, more if things permit. What I think mine is, the tube going into my pancreas was getting clogged from all the years of eating carbs & then I sit a lot working from home. Ironically, one of the doctors said my pancreas looked really great when he looked at the ultra sound. When you look for a good tudca, make sure it doesn't have magnesium stearate or silicone dioxide & not from ch!na. The brand I got is from the UK, Sharoaid, advanced tudca. I will be also trying castor oil packs to see if that helps too. I've suffered for over a year & a half & finally been felling better. I really hope this helps you. Best of luck to you. You'll have to update me sometime. :)
Been a big fan of your videos for a long time. Thank you and btw you must really know your facts because you keep looking healthier and younger each video. Best wishes and thanks again for all that you share.
There is so much that could have been done years ago as respect to vitamins and your health ! Rather than being reactive to bodily conditions associated with vitamin and supplement deficiency when seeing your doctor ! Some doctors prescribing anything but a more natural remedy ! It’s as if there is a separation or collusion between doctors and pharmaceuticals ?! However , it is up to us as individuals to look after our health !
Dr berg can you please make a video on weight gain? I’ve dealt with a fast metabolism all my life & I’m currently 10lbs underweight due to my job requiring miles of walking daily. You’ve helped me resolve many health complications therefore I know I can put my trust into your advice rather than the bodybuilders telling people drink sugar powder and buy as much of the cheapest unhealthiest foods they can find.
I gained 16kg (1.58m, 46kg -> 62) mostly by sugar and beef. My blood pressure is better and my allergy symptoms are alleviated. There was time that I eat a lot without gaining weights, probably because my body was still lacking everything (I practiced fasting for about 10 years for my brain can be focused on my work). However, after that, my weight is lifted fast uncontrollably :)) After I had enough weight, I try to add vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Now I still unable to breathe during spring, but hope I can have a normal healthy life later.
Infra red exposure and pomegranate juice makes you look years younger. The sun can make you youthful along with 1 hours a day walking running swimming jogging or cycling
My -Chinese 86th generation TCM doctor sometimes said, when I asked, to take the medicinal formula after the meal because the stomach is then digesting the food.
Ramadan is starting next week it will be great if you post some videos on how to break fast and what vitamins to take specially for those who have eating disorders and inflammations.
I had a Leadership class, one module was "The Healthy Executive", cod liver oil was a top recommendation. It was suggested a brand that does not give you "fish burbs" like the Omega 3 capsules do. I use -> On Target Living "Alaskan cod liver oil" this is infused with Organic Lemon. No fishy taste or fish burbs. I take on tablespoon every morning.
Thanks Dr. Eric So does this work if I take my vitamins like this? After Lunch: Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, Biotin, Turmeric After 2 hours or more: Vitamin B12 or other B Vitamins After 2 hours or more: Vitamin C After 2 hours or more: Calcium After 2 hours or more: Zinc with Copper After 2 hours or more: Magnesium
I do well & feel my best taking my main vitamins while eating lunch between bites. I never take them with caffeine or on an empty stomach. Eggs with my k2d3 & water made my blood levels of d3 perfect, 61 ng/mL.
What? He is so clear. Maybe take notes as he’s speaking…also maybe watch the video multiple times so you can retain the info. If you work good with lists…make one as you rewatch.
Can you discuss what vitamins cannot be taken together? Also, what factors (such as minerals) inhibits or helps absorption of different kinds of vitamins?
I’ve found taking my supplements upon waking and at lunchtime is best for me. It took me a long time to realize that taking them before bed actually woke me up 5 hours into sleeping. I sleep through the night now.
I think you might be right. Vitamins are just like food; you wouldn't eat food before going to bed, so why should vitamins be any different? Only exception I might make is magnesium
I've taken supplements of one sort or another all my life, but it's only in the last year that I'm really starting to understand the chronobiology. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
@@Dancky2 It's a lot, but I have found the most important things were moving vitamin D, MK-7, vitamin C, and minerals to before I go to bed. I thought for a long time that vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," was best taken early in the day (logical, right?), but at night seems to work better for me.
After watching you video I started to take my D3-K2 mk7 (3x1000=5000mg) & Magnesium L-threonate (3×144mg =432mg) I don't fall asleep any faster but I do stay asleep and sleep longer. Decided to try for a few days before I commented on my success or lack of if it did not work for me. Its been 2 weeks since I posted this and its still working.
I was always deemed as a vitaminholic by my family ….. it turns out, I haven’t been taking them I needed! Thanks Dr. Berg for your teachings! I’ve been able to fine-tune my body through your videos! Thanks! Much Blessings!
I take methyl multi-nutrient supplement with breakfast and lunch, I take vitamin B12 sublingual straight after breakfast and liposomal Vit C near bedtime. Vitamin D3 makes it difficult for me to sleep if I take 4000IU with K2 for two weeks straight.
An hour after taking levothyroxine I have coffee and take N-Acetyl Cysteine and normally wait 3 to 4 hours before eating. If meal has fat and protein I take zinc and vitamin D-3. I recently began taking B complex again, but usually with the meal just mentioned along with the two mentioned above. The a.m. thyroid medicine unfortunately dictates what I do in the morning. I wait until 8 p.m. to take amlodopine and a baby aspirin. I just deal with getting up two or three times at night. I wish I could take thyroid medicine later. Thank you Dr. Berg for your very detailed information that you share with all of us.
Doc, your my go-to quick recommendations for things Ive been dealing with. I had a severe brain injury in 2019, meningeal encephalitis from a staph infection..made an amazing comeback, but every system..without question does not work the same, Digestion is with the top 3, Ive been using your formula for about a month now and have noticed my bloating has decreased most of all, still not 100% but alot better! Keep the content up my friend!
D3 is tricky. The later in the day, the higher the D3 absorption. Some believe because D3 is associated with sunlight it could signal to the body it's daytime and disrupt sleep. If you're concerned take D3 late afternoon, 3 or 4ish. Remember to take K2 with D3 or get a combo formula. D3 needs Magnesium, but doesn't need to be taken at the same time, just take magnesium regularly.
Dr. Berg love your videos you have helped so many people including me! I just got my lab report from my doctor he said he has never seen at person at 75 years old so healthy. I don't take prescription drugs anymore and have everything great blood sugar blood pressure, cholesterol everything I do still do natural hormones hoping to get rid of that too one day. I could not get out of bed 15years ago living on soda and candy. I was so happy when I talked to the doctor yesterday he said I was proof that no matter how old you are you can reverse damage and become heathy I also have been exercising for 40 years I have been teaching Jazzercise for 30 years. Thanks for all your videos!
I don’t know if i am right, please through some light on the daily requirements of the following vitamins & minerals & are they important to take along 10000iu of vitamin d3 per day… D3- 10000iu Vitamin k2-100mcg Calcium-1000mg Magnesium-400mg Zinc-11mg Thankyou…. Waiting for your credible response sir….
Is there a test you can do at home to see which vitamins, bio salts, ect you need? Is it possible to take too many vitamins if you're also taking a multivitamin? Thank you for the great video Dr.Berg. your presentations are always amazing and very informative.
It's a good question. I don't know why people take them if they don't know that they need them. I take Vitamin B because I was having very vivid and disturbing dreams on keto. I researched it and it said I needed B. I take one at night and the dreams stopped. So I'm taking what I feel I need for a specific purpose.
I keep watching for self-tests to no avail. It requires a blood draw, but I believe some labs like LabCorp will draw your blood for certain tests without a doctor's order. That would be self-pay and can add up over time.
@@MamaLee5 good point. But, there are several nutrients and minerals that will or may not show up in a blood test. Example, magnesium supposedly like others are more so inside the cell and therefore can't be measured with a blood test. There is some in the blood so You could appear deficient and really not be. Magnesium among others is need for the bones and are stored in bone. Yes body complex. Always exceptions and possibly no 2 people alike. Lots of variables. I think that's what it's critical to listen to your body. And that in itself is challenging.
I read that if you smell the vitamin in the container, if it smells horrible to you, you don't need it, but if it smells good, you need it, so then take it.
I take mine after meal in the evening. I pour bottom fil in glass of apple cider vinegar, then dilute it with water. I take my Vitamins + extra of d vitamin. Then I drink cod liver oil. I feel great.
So weird... I'd just bought a vitamin D3 just this morning since I've watched one of your video about always feeling tired and keep on thinking when is the best time to take it and then here it is just answered uploaded video ☺️🥰🙏 thanks Dr.
Take multi in mid day with food,instead of concern about morning or evening worries. Make sure vitamins are natural,not synthetic.they cost more, but better absorption
Dr Berg, I just take 2 vitamin tablets/capsules. Cod Liver Oil(with Omega-3 Fish Oil) and a multivitamin tablet (which inclues Vitamin C, B12, A, Iron, Zinc) When should I take them? Please help me out.
Maybe you already have, but it would be nice if you made a chart that tells what vitamins should be taken together and which ones should not. Also include the best time of day for each vitamin.
Zinc....I learnt the hard way to take that after a meal because suddenly I got cramps and diarrhea for a few days until I stopped using them. After a meal, no problems
Well this is spot on. Last night I laid out some Vits I want to start…but I also take Levo thyroxine just before bed…so I asked myself this very question…When is the best time to take the Vits?….Thank you Dr Berg. You read the room constantly. Greetings from London 😊
@@joanl2057 yes I was told this too …I did start taking them first thing….but I couldn’t wait the half an hour to have a cuppa tea 😃 or I’d forget altogether 🥴 …taking them at night is better for me and they work well. I’ve been taking them for over 10 years now…I hope you are doing well. 🌸
I take my levothyroxine on its own and take vitamins 6 hrs later. Levothyroxine needs to be able to absorb on its own and that is interrupted if you have anything with it.
If you clean out the bromine, chlorine and fluoride in the system you can have a proper functioning thyroid, this can be done by avoiding all these, tap water, swimming pools, toothpaste, chimicals in soda drinks and bread production ( US), this can also be done using lugol’s iodine, then make sure to have enough (iodine and) selenium for thyroid function.
thank you for saying you can take it on an empty stomach as well because I happen to be one of those people who takes it without food used to irritate my stomach many, many years ago I noticed it hasn’t what I do is I take a tablespoon of olive oil and then take my vitamin or vice versa
dr. berg was right, after taking ACV, i have never, ever ever ever took those proton pump inhibitors like i was taking for years, antacids too, i dont take ACV everyday but when i feel bloated and feel like i can not digest my meal, then after two hours i took i took like 3 teaspoons of ACV on a glass and slam it,then after a minute like 10 to 15 minutes it was magic , i tried milk kefir too but ACV works for me well, thank you very much Dr. Berg, you have saved my agony for years, and my life, thank you very much
I recently had horrid indigestion and sometimes acid reflux waking me out of my sleep. I haven't changed anything in diet, meds or supplements so very puzzled. I just began ACV after watching one of his videos and so far no heartburn. Hope that solved my distress.
@@carolsummers8734 start eating natural food already, for me the best way to take it on like before dinner like 5:30 or 6 pm then after 1 hour you take your dinner or if you feel like hungry already, when you wake up you feel much better, and take fish cod liver oil too
Dr berg wow 👌 this helps a lot,when, how and often, very impt topic today, even at Dr's off you do not have enough time to ask questions, this really helps esp seniors over 65yrs old impt for us,good wrk,and may you stay well and strong, thanks for educating.
Had no idea that calcium was not good for post menopausal women. Bc it could cause heart attacks. I had a stoke (transient global amnesia) 3 years ago!! Thank you Dr. Berg. Jana - Texas
Dear doctor Berg, I really love your focus and knowledge on vitamins & health improvement. Only to mention that I took magnesium for some time and realized that it jeopardizes my sleep if I take it after breakfast. Even a small amount is enough. Please check and answer with help and/or advise.
Many research documents write about vitamin D3 should not be taken at night since it interferes with the melatonin process. (Look it up.) Most doctors say take vitamin D3 with fats. One doctor I know says take it with lemon juice in the morning (first time I heard of that.)
My vitamin D3/K2 comes in a coconut oil capsule. (The brand I use just recently added turmeric.) I usually just take all my supplements together, but I see certain ones would be better at night. Great info. Thanks!
I take ashwaganda for it’s many health benefits. It’s not one that I typically “feel”, but I recently took it on an empty stomach and wow, I really felt a difference.
I take “Gaia Herbs” ashwagandha root, one capsule a day with food and it has given me a nice relaxed feeling. May I ask, how different or what was the difference between taking it with and without food for you.
re: Vit D, I was told it blocks melatonin production. In nature, we would be producing it D during the daylight hours when we don't want to be sleepy so that makes sense. This directly contradicts what is presented in this video.
I have always taken calcium and magnesium separately (afternoon and evening) because I have heard that the effect is otherwise less. They would reduce each other's effect.
I wanted to thank you Dr. berg for your teachings about Betaine hci. I had struggled with things. Now I tested with baking soda finding out that I have low acid in my stomach. Started taking betaine hci with pectin and feeling the difference. All that doctors like to do is prescribe omeprazol which is the worst thing for low acid. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Yes very helpful info especially about taking the detoxifiers before bed because they cause some fatigue. Dim and nac make me sluggish all day if I take them in the morning. I didn't know it was a thing that could happen!

I was having pain on my left side, (under my rib) usually after I ate and had a bulge. I saw a regular doctor and 2 different digestive doctors and none of em knew why. They said it was just fat which I'm at a "normal" weight. I had an ultra sound, a colonoscopy, and endoscopy and all was fine. One of the digestive doctors wanted to run all kinds of tests on me as well. Thankfully I had found your videos during this time and Tudca is what helped, I'm feeling much better and bulge is almost gone!!! I have been doing mostly Keto and intermediate fasting also. Thank you so much Dr Berg!!!! I appreciate that you truly want to help people. 🌠
I had this problem too!! I even had to go to the emergency room last year because of it and no one could help me. You are the only one I’ve ever come across who has also experienced this
@@adventuresofkatekat Omg, why did you have to go to the ER? Mine would hurt pretty bad after eating so I knew it was something to do with digestion and it seemed like food would get stuck where the bulge was. Interestingly the digestive doctors never said anything about Tudca. I think mine was also from eating a lot of carbs and not getting any exercise when this all came to a head. What has helped you? Are you completely better?
@@svv3244 because it was sticking out and hurting very bad ☹️ I thought maybe something was wrong with my spleen. It happened a few times after too. Because I live in Canada I had to wait almost 6 hours in the ER and then I didn’t get much for help. I have been searching on the internet to find out what could be the cause of this problem and I found nothing. I felt really alone and then I randomly saw your comment on this video and it was such a blessing to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing this. I am going to try tudca :) Can I ask if you did anything else to help? I cut out carbs and that seems to help a lot.
@@adventuresofkatekat Geez, so sorry you've had that experience. I have had it hurt really bad at times (was usually after eating) but never went to ER. It would get hard during those times. One of my friends said one of her friends has same syptoms but they didn't know what it was as her doctors weren't helpful either. I've never been able to find much info or anyone else with this to talk to. So I just tried to cut carbs, eat better, usually one meal a day. I've fasted 48 hours a couple times but Ima do that more often as I think it really has helped. I think that Tudca definitely helped, was like 'the icing on the cake', lol. That is when my bulge finally was feeling better & getting smaller. I try to remember to take it with meals and also take apple cider vinegar in the mornings and before my meal. I also massage that area to try to get things moving. I also try to walk at least 20 minutes a day, more if things permit. What I think mine is, the tube going into my pancreas was getting clogged from all the years of eating carbs & then I sit a lot working from home. Ironically, one of the doctors said my pancreas looked really great when he looked at the ultra sound. When you look for a good tudca, make sure it doesn't have magnesium stearate or silicone dioxide & not from ch!na. The brand I got is from the UK, Sharoaid, advanced tudca. I will be also trying castor oil packs to see if that helps too. I've suffered for over a year & a half & finally been felling better. I really hope this helps you. Best of luck to you. You'll have to update me sometime. :)
I take iron, vitamin c, vitamin d, zinc , turmeric capsules, collagen powder, and green powder.
Been a big fan of your videos for a long time. Thank you and btw you must really know your facts because you keep looking healthier and younger each video. Best wishes and thanks again for all that you share.
There is so much that could have been done years ago as respect to vitamins and your health ! Rather than being reactive to bodily conditions associated with vitamin and supplement deficiency when seeing your doctor ! Some doctors prescribing anything but a more natural remedy !
It’s as if there is a separation or collusion between doctors and pharmaceuticals ?!
However , it is up to us as individuals to look after our health !
This is a great video! I have been wondering when I should take my vitamins. This helped so much! Thank you Dr. Berg
Dr berg can you please make a video on weight gain? I’ve dealt with a fast metabolism all my life & I’m currently 10lbs underweight due to my job requiring miles of walking daily. You’ve helped me resolve many health complications therefore I know I can put my trust into your advice rather than the bodybuilders telling people drink sugar powder and buy as much of the cheapest unhealthiest foods they can find.
I will like a video on this too...I also have a fast metabolism and underweight
Indeed all the BB powders I've seen are mostly sugar and whey or soy protein, but building muscle would be your best path.
@@DrJayashreeRamana what's the benefit?
Yes pls💓
I gained 16kg (1.58m, 46kg -> 62) mostly by sugar and beef. My blood pressure is better and my allergy symptoms are alleviated. There was time that I eat a lot without gaining weights, probably because my body was still lacking everything (I practiced fasting for about 10 years for my brain can be focused on my work). However, after that, my weight is lifted fast uncontrollably :)) After I had enough weight, I try to add vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Now I still unable to breathe during spring, but hope I can have a normal healthy life later.
Thank you! I hope you repeat this with updates and extended information. No one talks about this enough. And it matters.
Infra red exposure and pomegranate juice makes you look years younger. The sun can make you youthful along with 1 hours a day walking running swimming jogging or cycling
Great Suggestions !
Only wonder if pom juice is too much of a sugar hit as I eat low carb?
Pomegranate juice is very expensive here in Canada..
in india we add turmeric in every meal
And pepper, which increases the absorption of the turmeric
@@joyelle7578 which pepper.🤔🤔
Black pepper
Yeah tumeric is used every day in most Indian dishes, but if you're taking it with just a powder you can take it with Black Pepper to absorb.
I just tried an Indian turmeric rice sooooo delicious!!!!!
My -Chinese 86th generation TCM doctor sometimes said, when I asked, to take the medicinal formula after the meal because the stomach is then digesting the food.
Ramadan is starting next week it will be great if you post some videos on how to break fast and what vitamins to take specially for those who have eating disorders and inflammations.
I had a Leadership class, one module was "The Healthy Executive", cod liver oil was a top recommendation. It was suggested a brand that does not give you "fish burbs" like the Omega 3 capsules do. I use -> On Target Living "Alaskan cod liver oil" this is infused with Organic Lemon. No fishy taste or fish burbs. I take on tablespoon every morning.
Thank you Dr Berg, i appreaciate the health info you provide
You're very welcome. Glad you found it useful.
I take my vitamins after a snack (not full stomach) n never empty stomach for 40 yrs now to avoid tummy ache. Great vid.
Your videos are immensely helpful, I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you for your work!
Yes absolutely 👍 He is very good and a competent doctor!
I take all of my vitamins after dinner. Never any sleep issues. And I love a niacin B3 flush in the evenings before bed.
Thanks Dr. Eric So does this work if I take my vitamins like this?
After Lunch: Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, Biotin, Turmeric
After 2 hours or more: Vitamin B12 or other B Vitamins
After 2 hours or more: Vitamin C
After 2 hours or more: Calcium
After 2 hours or more: Zinc with Copper
After 2 hours or more: Magnesium
I do well & feel my best taking my main vitamins while eating lunch between bites. I never take them with caffeine or on an empty stomach. Eggs with my k2d3 & water made my blood levels of d3 perfect, 61 ng/mL.
Five minutes in and I'm overwhelmed and confused. How could I ever make use of this? I need a written list.
Me too, I have a short attention span.
What? He is so clear. Maybe take notes as he’s speaking…also maybe watch the video multiple times so you can retain the info. If you work good with lists…make one as you rewatch.
Re Watch it!
Take notes
It works for me at night all together with potassium and magnesium very powerful
Wonderful!
Can you discuss what vitamins cannot be taken together? Also, what factors (such as minerals) inhibits or helps absorption of different kinds of vitamins?
Vitamin C inhibits B12 absorption, and
Avoid taking Iron with Calcium
Discovered MSM is great and pairs very well with vitamin C and even magnesium
I’ve found taking my supplements upon waking and at lunchtime is best for me. It took me a long time to realize that taking them before bed actually woke me up 5 hours into sleeping. I sleep through the night now.
I think you might be right. Vitamins are just like food; you wouldn't eat food before going to bed, so why should vitamins be any different? Only exception I might make is magnesium
@@pyracurse I agree. Magnesium and ashwagandha before bed are great
I've taken supplements of one sort or another all my life, but it's only in the last year that I'm really starting to understand the chronobiology. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
May I ask what is your stack consist of?
@@Dancky2 It's a lot, but I have found the most important things were moving vitamin D, MK-7, vitamin C, and minerals to before I go to bed. I thought for a long time that vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," was best taken early in the day (logical, right?), but at night seems to work better for me.
@@scottmiller2591i tought the same..
After watching you video I started to take my D3-K2 mk7 (3x1000=5000mg) & Magnesium L-threonate (3×144mg =432mg) I don't fall asleep any faster but I do stay asleep and sleep longer. Decided to try for a few days before I commented on my success or lack of if it did not work for me.
Its been 2 weeks since I posted this and its still working.
I was always deemed as a vitaminholic by my family ….. it turns out, I haven’t been taking them I needed! Thanks Dr. Berg for your teachings! I’ve been able to fine-tune my body through your videos! Thanks! Much Blessings!
When should you take. Berberine? When should you take NAD?
I take methyl multi-nutrient supplement with breakfast and lunch, I take vitamin B12 sublingual straight after breakfast and liposomal Vit C near bedtime. Vitamin D3 makes it difficult for me to sleep if I take 4000IU with K2 for two weeks straight.
Mmmm. Always grateful Doc. Keep reading, fact finding, speaking, guiding, advising and coaching us. Blessings.
He is a good doctor and a good person as well 💯👍
An hour after taking levothyroxine I have coffee and take N-Acetyl Cysteine and normally wait 3 to 4 hours before eating. If meal has fat and protein I take zinc and vitamin D-3. I recently began taking B complex again, but usually with the meal just mentioned along with the two mentioned above. The a.m. thyroid medicine unfortunately dictates what I do in the morning. I wait until 8 p.m. to take amlodopine and a baby aspirin. I just deal with getting up two or three times at night. I wish I could take thyroid medicine later. Thank you Dr. Berg for your very detailed information that you share with all of us.
Much needed information ! In one video ! Thanks Dr Berg!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Doc, your my go-to quick recommendations for things Ive been dealing with. I had a severe brain injury in 2019, meningeal encephalitis from a staph infection..made an amazing comeback, but every system..without question does not work the same, Digestion is with the top 3, Ive been using your formula for about a month now and have noticed my bloating has decreased most of all, still not 100% but alot better! Keep the content up my friend!
For a staph infection you no doubt took antibiotics. Don't forget the sauerkraut!
You are such a blessing to us! Thank you Dr Berg!
D3 is tricky. The later in the day, the higher the D3 absorption. Some believe because D3 is associated with sunlight it could signal to the body it's daytime and disrupt sleep. If you're concerned take D3 late afternoon, 3 or 4ish. Remember to take K2 with D3 or get a combo formula. D3 needs Magnesium, but doesn't need to be taken at the same time, just take magnesium regularly.
Dr. Berg love your videos you have helped so many people including me! I just got my lab report from my doctor he said he has never seen at person at 75 years old so healthy. I don't take prescription drugs anymore and have everything great blood sugar blood pressure, cholesterol everything I do still do natural hormones hoping to get rid of that too one day. I could not get out of bed 15years ago living on soda and candy. I was so happy when I talked to the doctor yesterday he said I was proof that no matter how old you are you can reverse damage and become heathy I also have been exercising for 40 years I have been teaching Jazzercise for 30 years. Thanks for all your videos!
I don’t know if i am right, please through some light on the daily requirements of the following vitamins & minerals & are they important to take along 10000iu of vitamin d3 per day…
D3- 10000iu
Vitamin k2-100mcg
Calcium-1000mg
Magnesium-400mg
Zinc-11mg
Thankyou….
Waiting for your credible response sir….
Is there a test you can do at home to see which vitamins, bio salts, ect you need? Is it possible to take too many vitamins if you're also taking a multivitamin? Thank you for the great video Dr.Berg. your presentations are always amazing and very informative.
It's a good question. I don't know why people take them if they don't know that they need them. I take Vitamin B because I was having very vivid and disturbing dreams on keto. I researched it and it said I needed B. I take one at night and the dreams stopped. So I'm taking what I feel I need for a specific purpose.
I keep watching for self-tests to no avail. It requires a blood draw, but I believe some labs like LabCorp will draw your blood for certain tests without a doctor's order. That would be self-pay and can add up over time.
@@MamaLee5 good point. But, there are several nutrients and minerals that will or may not show up in a blood test. Example, magnesium supposedly like others are more so inside the cell and therefore can't be measured with a blood test.
There is some in the blood so You could appear deficient and really not be. Magnesium among others is need for the bones and are stored in bone.
Yes body complex. Always exceptions and possibly no 2 people alike. Lots of variables. I think that's what it's critical to listen to your body. And that in itself is challenging.
I read that if you smell the vitamin in the container, if it smells horrible to you, you don't need it, but if it smells good, you need it, so then take it.
@@002wpatrick I think the smell of brewers yeast for instance isn't nice to everybody, but many would benefit from it!
I take mine after meal in the evening. I pour bottom fil in glass of apple cider vinegar, then dilute it with water. I take my Vitamins + extra of d vitamin. Then I drink cod liver oil. I feel great.
So weird... I'd just bought a vitamin D3 just this morning since I've watched one of your video about always feeling tired and keep on thinking when is the best time to take it and then here it is just answered uploaded video ☺️🥰🙏 thanks Dr.
Same here.. I said to myself earlier today, I need to google when is the best time to take my vitamins
Perfect timing! You just saved me a heap of research time, thank you!
Thank you. I started taking calcium in the morning and wonder why I feel sleepy. That’s why.
Doctor Berg thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time 🙏🏼❤️
It would be nice if we could get a print out of these instructions on when to take our vitamins!
This man is both very wise and handsome!!😊
Absolutely right 👍 A good doctor and a good person 💯
Great information, I take the vitD and K2 and fish oils in the morning, all the others after evening meal at 6pm.
Dr Berg you are invaluable to human kind . Thx you ❤🤩
Take multi in mid day with food,instead of concern about morning or evening worries. Make sure vitamins are natural,not synthetic.they cost more, but better absorption
Thank you Doc as always for your best advice .!🙏I’m taking magnesium and vitamjn d3 before bed so I’m on the right path.God bless🙏♥️😇….
Don't forget k² with your magnesium 🌷🌷🌷
@@MyrtleBeachWebAngel yes I will.😚thank you🙏
I take the D3 and magnesium at bed time too.
Dr Berg, I just take 2 vitamin tablets/capsules. Cod Liver Oil(with Omega-3 Fish Oil) and a multivitamin tablet (which inclues Vitamin C, B12, A, Iron, Zinc)
When should I take them?
Please help me out.
@helenevion4868 Thanks Very Much !!
You r literally saving people's lives
Maybe you already have, but it would be nice if you made a chart that tells what vitamins should be taken together and which ones should not. Also include the best time of day for each vitamin.
Does vitamin B12 affects the kidney also Hb fortex multivitamin?
Zinc....I learnt the hard way to take that after a meal because suddenly I got cramps and diarrhea for a few days until I stopped using them. After a meal, no problems
Another great article you've done. It's a second time I've watched it. I learn more each time. Congratulations!
I loved green tea, fish oil, and vitamin C right out of bed. Full alert all day, plus other benefits
Excellent video Dr. Berg. I've been wondering about these things for awhile. Thanks!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks Dr. Berg. For some reason I can't digest your Vitamin D/K without a meal. However, I love them.
Well this is spot on. Last night I laid out some Vits I want to start…but I also take Levo thyroxine just before bed…so I asked myself this very question…When is the best time to take the Vits?….Thank you Dr Berg. You read the room constantly. Greetings from London 😊
I was told to take levothyroxin on an empty stomach with NOTHING else except with water. (at 4 am).
@@joanl2057 yes I was told this too …I did start taking them first thing….but I couldn’t wait the half an hour to have a cuppa tea 😃 or I’d forget altogether 🥴 …taking them at night is better for me and they work well. I’ve been taking them for over 10 years now…I hope you are doing well. 🌸
I take my levothyroxine on its own and take vitamins 6 hrs later. Levothyroxine needs to be able to absorb on its own and that is interrupted if you have anything with it.
If you clean out the bromine, chlorine and fluoride in the system you can have a proper functioning thyroid, this can be done by avoiding all these, tap water, swimming pools, toothpaste, chimicals in soda drinks and bread production ( US), this can also be done using lugol’s iodine, then make sure to have enough (iodine and) selenium for thyroid function.
@@marycoleman4301 Hi Mary, what if you've had your thyroid removed?
thank you for saying you can take it on an empty stomach as well because I happen to be one of those people who takes it without food used to irritate my stomach many, many years ago I noticed it hasn’t what I do is I take a tablespoon of olive oil and then take my vitamin or vice versa
Thank you Dr. Berg for bleeding a basic regimen of taking vitamins and giving information to give flexibility to someone scheduled use may need it
dr. berg was right, after taking ACV, i have never, ever ever ever took those proton pump inhibitors like i was taking for years, antacids too, i dont take ACV everyday but when i feel bloated and feel like i can not digest my meal, then after two hours i took i took like 3 teaspoons of ACV on a glass and slam it,then after a minute like 10 to 15 minutes it was magic , i tried milk kefir too but ACV works for me well, thank you very much Dr. Berg, you have saved my agony for years, and my life, thank you very much
I recently had horrid indigestion and sometimes acid reflux waking me out of my sleep. I haven't changed anything in diet, meds or supplements so very puzzled. I just began ACV after watching one of his videos and so far no heartburn. Hope that solved my distress.
@@carolsummers8734 start eating natural food already, for me the best way to take it on like before dinner like 5:30 or 6 pm then after 1 hour you take your dinner or if you feel like hungry already, when you wake up you feel much better, and take fish cod liver oil too
I take Vitamin B12, vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, Betroot Extract, Spirullina, Fish oil, Collagen and Creatine.
Is what I’m taking safe to take daily?
I think you're a genius, you know so much. Thank you for your video 😊
thanks very much Dr from listening i m learning a lot to know how to taking care my self and my family.
Very glad to be of help.
I was actually just wondering about this since im doing a 3 day fast. Thank you!

Closing in on 10 mill man, congratulations, that must be such an accomplishment!
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try the calcium at bedtime. My body gets tired before my brain all too often.
Dr berg wow 👌 this helps a lot,when, how and often, very impt topic today, even at Dr's off you do not have enough time to ask questions, this really helps esp seniors over 65yrs old impt for us,good wrk,and may you stay well and strong, thanks for educating.
Had no idea that calcium was not good for post menopausal women. Bc it could cause heart attacks. I had a stoke (transient global amnesia) 3 years ago!! Thank you Dr. Berg. Jana - Texas
I didn't know that either. Thank you for your comment on that!! 😁👍🏻
Dear doctor Berg, I really love your focus and knowledge on vitamins & health improvement. Only to mention that I took magnesium for some time and realized that it jeopardizes my sleep if I take it after breakfast. Even a small amount is enough. Please check and answer with help and/or advise.
Your information is so wonderful. Thank you again Doctor Eric
Don't know how i missed this video but it is great!!! Thank you Dr Berg!
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Maybe you mentioned it but when do you take a multivitamin
Many research documents write about vitamin D3 should not be taken at night since it interferes with the melatonin process. (Look it up.) Most doctors say take vitamin D3 with fats. One doctor I know says take it with lemon juice in the morning (first time I heard of that.)
My vitamin D3/K2 comes in a coconut oil capsule. (The brand I use just recently added turmeric.) I usually just take all my supplements together, but I see certain ones would be better at night. Great info. Thanks!
That's nice. Hope you are noticing the benefits. Thanks for watching the video.
What brand do you use?
What brand??
What brand?
What brand?
Thank you as always Dr Berg! ❤ when is it best to take colostrum?😊
I take ashwaganda for it’s many health benefits. It’s not one that I typically “feel”, but I recently took it on an empty stomach and wow, I really felt a difference.
I take “Gaia Herbs” ashwagandha root, one capsule a day with food and it has given me a nice relaxed feeling. May I ask, how different or what was the difference between taking it with and without food for you.
@I'm happy Google it.
@@lpg12338 Sure, I didn’t feel relaxed as much as really alert, kind of like caffeine but no jitters or heart racing.
@@fbomb7184 Thanks. 👍
re: Vit D, I was told it blocks melatonin production. In nature, we would be producing it D during the daylight hours when we don't want to be sleepy so that makes sense. This directly contradicts what is presented in this video.
I have always taken calcium and magnesium separately (afternoon and evening) because I have heard that the effect is otherwise less. They would reduce each other's effect.
Just a reminder to take k² with your calcium & magnesium 🌷🐢
I like to take my vitamins in the morning with my coffee. Loaded with heavy cream to absorb them better.
I was literally just wondering this then BOOM. Dr. Berg is reading my mind again. lol
I wanted to thank you Dr. berg for your teachings about Betaine hci. I had struggled with things. Now I tested with baking soda finding out that I have low acid in my stomach. Started taking betaine hci with pectin and feeling the difference. All that doctors like to do is prescribe omeprazol which is the worst thing for low acid. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
How do you test with baking soda?
Yes very helpful info especially about taking the detoxifiers before bed because they cause some fatigue. Dim and nac make me sluggish all day if I take them in the morning. I didn't know it was a thing that could happen!
