At 76 I can’t help but reflect on how different my life would have been with this knowledge. I hope young people are sitting up and paying very close attention. I have lived with all of these symptoms my whole life and it wasn’t fun. Thank you Dr. Berg. At least I have a better understanding of unseen influences that were directing my development and choices. 🇨🇦❤️
I never gave two thoughts to needing D because I'm outdoors all day. Turns out when you have gut issues, you can't convert it into a bio available form! I've had too many of these symptoms all my life.😢
I have recently watched all of your vitamin D videos. I have suffered from so many of the symptoms of a deficiency. I have seen many doctors- none of whom suggested trying adding vitamin D. Well, I got your vitamin D just a few weeks ago. The first day I took it I felt a little better. It’s been 2 weeks now and I feel like a new person! I am sleeping well! My joint aches and pains are gone. My mind is not foggy. My deep bone pains disappeared. My tinnitus has toned down. Not gone , but much quieter. So many more things, I am truly amazed. Thank you! ❤❤❤
My father has restless leg issues and is hunched over now. He takes Vit D but since the drs didn’t say to take a higher dose. He lives on carbs and doesn’t see a problem. At 89, he wont change, I’ve tried. My mom had AFib and instead of trying addl vit D, her Dr. suggested surgery to put in a Watchman and of course she went with it. I appreciate all of your information Dr. Berg.
Thank you again for providing your research. That is one thing I really like about your videos you provide the research. Bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Give them the same as you they will be protected from colds and flu especially in the cold weather months. My son takes all the vitamins and is never sick.
0-12 months 400 IU (10 mcg) 1-13 years 600 IU (15 mcg) 14-18 years 600 IU (15 mcg) Figures vary across the world based upon race, diet, sun-exposure etc.
Dang I'm darn near have all the symptoms except acne, but I'm 50 n just starting to get eczema in certain places let me load back up vitamin d,n I just got back IF n keto 2weeks ago
I currently started taking 5,000 iu vitamin d3 with 100 mg of k2 and 360 mg 2x a day of Magensium Glycinate. I tried to increase to 10,000 iu and it gave me extreme anxiety so I went back down to 5,000 iu. I'm wondering why that is. I have been dealing with long COVID for a year.
Try starting with a lower dose and titrate up gradually. I had to start with children's liquid D3 just 1000 IU for a week. Then I doubled that to 2000 IUs for a couple weeks and then I jumped up to a vegan D3 5000 IUs in coconut oil. From there I am now able to take 30,000 IU ! No anxiety, no negative side effects at all. I discovered I react really badly to supplement forms of K2. I tried but now I just use a bioactive water based d3 by Biotech and I intentionally incorporate high vit K foods daily. I do grassfed butter, sauerkraut, goat cheeses, free range egg yolks, beef liver are my go-tos.😊
Dr. Berg, I am a nutritionist. I think it is awful how people are being silenced in media. I've subscribed. Thank you for providing us with ways to hear your perspective and recommendations. I know UA-cam may be hot for now. Many people are tired of the censorship. I know there are developments for optional sites, more lucrative. Thank you for your content. I appreciate it!
I had a major Vitamin D deficiency issue a few years ago and even though I was taking vitamin D my body wasn’t absorbing it. My doctor told me to make sure that on top of taking vitamin D that I also sit in the sun for 20 minutes three times a week. It definitely made a huge difference
I have a great Intergrative medical doctor who always goes with holistic medicine before western. She’s fantastic and even today I had a high dose vitamin C drip and while I was getting that she suggested that next time to boost my vitamin D we might do a shot of it.
Vitamin D helped me overcome a 22 year history of colitis! 10 months ago I saw Dr Berg's videos on vitamin D and autoimmune diseases. I started following his protocol and within days my symptoms were getting better!! 3 months ago I was deprescribed from my colitis medicine. Two days ago I had a follow-up colonoscopy which revealed no inflammation!! Along the way I lost 45 lbs, and was deprescribed from 2 blood pressure medications. I thank you!!
I get 1-2 episodes a year since I was 13 years old, so don't think it has comeback as it never goes we have it for life I guess. But that is so awesome for you, getting off those meds and the weight loss should make you feel like a NEW PERSON.
@@myjourney703 The list of benefits of vitamin D is extensive no doubt. The sun literally gives life to the entire planet so surely it will be massively beneficial for us.
@@myjourney703 : It does, but not everybody makes vitamin D in their skin equally. So, a redhead (with very light skin) has fewer layers of skin to contain melanin, and less melanin in each layer,so that the sunlight’s uv rays penetrate more easily and more vitamin D is made in a shorter amount of time. Her best friend goes outside and spends as much time doing the same activities with her, with darker skin tends to have more layers of skin, and each layer has more pigment in it, which filters out the sunlight. So unlike her redheaded body, the dark skinned friend makes far less vitamin D, but for her there’s an upside to the darker skin leading less uv in: She’s far less likely to end up with malignant melanoma. So the redheaded buddy ends up having to wear more sunscreen, and the dark skinned friend could benefit from vitamin D3 supplements. That’s important to know, especially if you have very dark skin.
Years ago I had Vitamin D deficiency where my levels were low 5. I was so sick that I was in and out of the emergency room for 6 months. I saw 20 different doctors that performed so many test trying to find out why I had so many severe symptoms all together. Every test came back negative except my Vitamin D level. Out of the 20 doctors that saw me only 1 doctor told me to take Vitamin D3. Once I started taking Vitamin D3 all of my symptoms were gone and my health improved. Vitamin D is a miracle hormone. 1. Heart palpitations and arrhythmias 2. Painful legs like I was beaten with a baseball bat 3. Brain fog 4. Depression 5. Panic attacks 6. Bronchitis 7. Skin disorders (psoriasis/eczema) 8. Sinus issues 9. Advance sleep disorder where my circadian rhythm made me fall asleep at 3pm everyday., 10. Bone pain 11. Acid reflux 12. Lethargy 13. Severe gastrointestinal problem diarrhea/constipation 14. Severe insomnia.
It's actually terrible because Dr Berg has got Vitamin D wrong completely here. Vitamin D deficiency is actually an indicator of a Magnesium deficiency. Taking more vitamin D will actually make the Magnesium deficiency worse so can't meaningfully increase vitamin D levels. It's Dr Berg's lack of understanding on this matter that has him recommending super doses of vitamin D but this could actually be damaging people's health. Most of the symptoms in the video are directly related to a Magnesium deficiency not a Vitamin D deficiency, it just seems like it's vitamin D because low magnesium causes low vitamin D. The fix is to first fix your magnesium deficiency. Any Vitamin D video that doesn't focus on Magnesium is potentially harmful and not in the interest of optimal health.
I would like to add to this list the 3 major symptoms I had when diagnosed with low vit D level of 6: EXTREME FATIGUE, MANY TENDER AND PAINFUL SPOTS along my muscles and SUNKEN FINGERNAILS. ALL of these went away a few weeks after i was treated with vit D.
Sharing Dr Berg notes: Having low vitamin D can affect the body in a myriad of ways-it’s important to avoid becoming deficient in vitamin D. Keep in mind that any time you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2. The ratio should be 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Being vitamin D deficient is commonly associated with symptoms like: • Bone loss • Bone pain • Low immunity • Depression • High blood pressure • Inflammation • Asthma • Poor sleep Surprising signs of vitamin D deficiency: 1. Nightmares 2. Restless leg syndrome 3. Acne 4. Bipolar disorder 5. Skipped heartbeats 6. Breathing disorders 7. Psoriasis and eczema 8. Sinus issues 9. Hay fever 10. Rapid breathing in infants 11. Recurrent tonsillitis in children 12. Structural development problems in children 13. Long COVID 14. Early puberty 15. Uterine fibroids 16. Irregular menstrual cycles 17. Longer menstrual cycles 18. Urinary incontinence 19. Vertigo 20. Sarcopenia 21. Myopia 22. Glaucoma 23. Erectile dysfunction Thank You Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
My son has schizophrenia. Watching Dr. Ber has had his symptoms down 50%. He had high blood pressure, no more. He had a kidney stone one inch in size but due to diet, it is the size of the tip of a pen. He lost 20 pounds by default, not trying. This is because we implemented much of what he taught and my research trying to understand what schizophrenics lack, Dr. Berg shows me where and how to get that vitamin, mineral, or whatever it is. I had major anxiety again and forgot about dr. Bergs videos and just last night, I slept for 4 hrs straight. I've not slept well for a week so I know I will go back to it.
Looking back on my childhood I was probably vitamin D deficient my whole life. I was diagnosed in my 50’s when I was being tested for celiac. Also looking back at my children’s childhood and adulthood, I bet they were also. I’m going to share this video with them. Thank you!
I am a 62-year-old African American woman who currently maintains a daily regimen of 40,000 IU of vitamin D3, alongside 400 mcg of vitamin K2. Following Dr. Berg's guidance, it is recommended to take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Regarding the matter of urinary incontinence, I am grateful to report that I do not experience this issue.
if you eat unhealthy food, don´t think that high dose D vill save you! Better to eat healthy , unprocessed food, no supplements at all than unhealthy food, suger, smoking etc and lots of D Vit.
@@ml-hy2sh Even eating "healthy" has its drawbacks with the use of GMOs and pesticides also the fact most westerners are completely deficient due to being indoors all day. If anything, a North American should be taking a Vit D supplement especially in the winter.
The research indicates you cannot gain the same benefits from supplements as having a healthy lifestyle aka getting lots of sunlight and eating plenty of vitamin rich(full-fat!) foods such as raw dairy in the form of milk or cheeses. I'm sick of seeing adverts for supplements.. eat real food and get in the sun!
I suffer from Graves disease and went on 5000IU's a day 1,5 years ago. After one month the depression let off and I had been depressed since the age of three! Then symptom after symptom let go and after 1,3 years I felt reborn! Never in my life had I felt so great so I took down the fose of vitamin D to 2000 a day since a doctor had told me my level on 214 was too high and dangerous. Bad move, I quickly went down again with fatigue and just days ago the depression came back although not as bad as before. I had bloodtests and despite all my symptoms of another graves episode, my thyroid levels were fine however my vitamin D levels had gone down to 119. Im now back on 5000 and will NEVER lower it again! The difference is like between life and death for me if I go under 5000.
@@ChickenTender57 Going outside isn’t enough to increase vitamin D if you’re significantly deficient. You will also run the risk of skin cancer. I need to go to the dermatologist every 6 months and she finds it every visit. I’m rarely in the sun anymore. Some people genetically don’t process vitamin D from the sun either.
I wish I had known all this throughout my kids and my own rearing.Forever grateful for you doctor Berg ! Followed you for around five years now and yet as I said, wish I had known all this prior....IT ALLLLLL MAKES SENSE! INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SENSE!
A Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7(100mcg for every 10,000iu D3) & B6-P5P(activated-pyridoxal-5-phosphate) at the same time. ➡One important function & benefit of Vitamin D3 is that it helps the body absorb Calcium which in turn plays a part in how the body absorbs Magnesium. The levels of Vitamin B6-P5P in the body determines how much Magnesium will be absorbed into the cells. Vitamin D3 ensures calcium is absorbed easily & Vitamin K2-MK7 activates the protein, osteocalcin, which integrates Calcium into bone. Without D3 & K2, Calcium can not do its job effectively. Vitamin K2-MK7 activates matrix GLA protein (MGP) to bind excess Calcium & promote arterial flow & flexibility. ➡D3 is fat soluble so the Dr said to take all these with a meal because they'll absorb better.....
Wow. My life would have been much different, had I known this earlier! I'm 54 now, and am being treated for low Vitamin D, by my primary care physician, currently. However, I am seeing symptoms that both my children suffer from!! Flat feet, scoliosis, etc!! If ONLY, I had known, 30 years ago, my beloved children, may have avoided certain health issues! That's just heartbreaking 💔😭
Dr. Berg, I find it interesting that Vit D deficiency can cause wheezing, and skin irritations as Chinese medicine connects Lung and Skin issues to each other. (I guess that makes sense bc they're both epithelial tissue).
Dr. B, yesterday I met this pregnant lady, and she was contemplating not taking her prenatal vitamins. I referred her to your channel and briefly explained the importance of vit D during pregnancy!!!! Hopefully, it helps her 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My dad has prostate cancer and it was because of his chronic vitamin D3 he takes 30.000 IU a day with K2 200 mcg and Magnesium and hes feeling away better.
nicely done, just make sure he doesnt eat fake calcium aka all calcium supplements, he's just gonna load his body up with silt and aches. otherwise sounds smart.
Dr Berg!! Thank you so much for your genuine love to care for people and actually TEACH US about the body!! You and your family are in our prayers to continue no matter what UA-cam tries to do. I think I can speak for many when I say WE WILL FALLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!!! I actually got a rumble account because of you. GOD bless you for truly caring to help others. 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you doctor Berg. You have no idea how much this is helping. My 9 years old daughter has at least 4 of these symptoms and I never thought of vit D deficiency. Flat feet, scoliosis, wheezing, tonsil stones all the time, headaches and tons of mucus. We treated everything separately. It all makes sense now, thanks to you❤
My favorite vitamin. I feel much better after consuming it regularly. My doctor never told me my problems' solution is easy. I'm very glad that I found your channel.
Vitamin D is good 👍 my Dr is a good doctor , but I don't like Dr. youtube telling me Vitamin D is not good. I give you more like subscribe, and don't forget the bell 😂😂😂 looking for viewers
My own Dr. was very interested when I told him about D3 K2 and the possibility they could stop or reverse atherosclerosis ! He had never heard about it. It's so rare to have a physician who's ego will allow them to learn something new!
I was born with Rickets / Lyme Disease and this list makes so much sense. My Lyme Literate Naturopathic Doctor who fully reversed his own extreme case of Parkinson’s Disease, found out that my body does not absorb Vitamin D or Iron properly
I thought my winter dose of 28.000 was too much but now I’m thinking that should be a minimum and maybe I need to nearly double that in winter months especially since I’m a brown skin person
When I got covid about 1 year ago, I woke up and couldn’t open my eyes as they perceived the low level light of sunrise to be blinding. After being in bed all day I forced myself to sit outside in shorts and nothing else because the sun was out. After 40mins sat there with my eyelids closed I felt refreshed and could at least open my eyes.
I too was deficient in Vitamin D3 and had horrible RLS. I had no idea what caused it and went to 2 neurologists, tried everything they suggested (including an opioid at bedtime) to no avail. All I know is that it mysteriously went away but I cannot put a timetable on taking D3 K2 and my symptoms disappearing. I wish I had documented this. I take 10,000 IU D3 and 260 mcg K2 dailey and have no more RLS so I'm happy. Was D3 the cause of my RLS? I have no idea but it does make sense now.
Wow, 50,000iu of vitamin D?? I'm not judging, just confirming. I've been on 40,000 for a month and my psoriasis is in retreat mode. Great video, thanks for posting.
@@SuraDoes Same here. Getting out in the sun seems to help, and I'm not sure water hardness isn't a factor in my case. It's off the charts here. Reverse Osmosis water is definitely on the list of things that cause vitamin D deficiency, so not a stretch to think that hard water couldn't affect it in some way. Maybe dr. Berg could expound.
Why why why can't doctors talk about this. Why treat symptoms instead of root cause. Dr Berg thank you for being so awesome and helpful. . It's a shame that doctors are not like you
My doctor wants to give a small dose of something for “the bipolar” as she always says. Yet my red blood count is low and hemeglobin and she refuses to check my vitamin d. She also laughed when I mentioned long covid. 😢 I’ve dealt with covid while pregnant, alopecia and feeling dizzy everyday and she says it’s the anxiety/bipolar. My mood is actually great for once but it’s my body. She again thinks I’m crazy. Imagine some people who are mentally ill just have deficiencies. 😖

You need to get a vitamin D3 lab test to see where you are and then retake it months later after dosing for a while to understand what your body needs. I personally feel better and not have the above symptoms along with improved immunity when I am between 55-100 ng/ml. I currently take 5,000 IU in the summer and 10,000 IU in the winter. I also take Vitamin K2 (MK-7) at the same time and take magnesium supplements during the day.
@unclegeorge4629 thank you yes I've had bloods done recently and taking a D3 supplement aswell as K2/MK7 but still have those pesky bumps on my arms so just thought you might have included something else. Will retake bloods in 3 months and see
Last year I had low vitamin D. It was awful, I felt like I was going nuts. Restless legs, felt these shock sensations thru my body, couldn't sleep, emotions were all over. Thought it was early menopause. I had labs done and found my vitamin d was very low. I never even knew it was a thing.
Dr. Berg has been reading my mind! I was recently intrigued with how vitamin D plays a huge role. I am so grateful to have found you. I started to take vitamin D my heart palpitations has decreased. Parkinson’s Disease has signs of vitamin D depletion, no vitamin D. Also, sugar depletes vitamin D. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Interestingly, almost every one of these describes me from childhood to adulthood. I'm not surprised, but it sure does explain a lot of my issues. Thanks Dr. Berg!
I've been seeing primary Drs and other Drs for years. I like to think for the most part that I stay on top of my health and no one ever told me the importance of Vitamin D. I honestly don't mind sharing that I didn't learn about this until watching a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast speak about it relating to C19. I had to ask for a Vitamin D test and sure enough I was deficient. Be your own advocate don't just assume that your Dr is telling you everything.
He’s absolutely correct! From my flat feet- to loooong periods, heart palpitations and Vertigo, that I’ve experienced myself diminishing to absolutely gone with the introduction of D3/K2 the past 4 years all have gone to include plantar fasciitis- since I went Keto and supplemented . Thank y you SO SO much Dr Berg 🦋
r vitamins that we can also take to help . I believe mine got messed up due to me being on the stupid contraception . I live a pretty healthy life I’d say so I go to the gym I do have a balanced diet , my sleep is something I need to work on 100% What can I take / buy ?
I had vitamin d deficiency and was dx with fibromyalgia, rosacea, bipolar 😑 weight gain issues, Sinus issues, toe nail infection, scoliosis, restless legs, fibroids, big gaps in my lower teeth
I will testify that I had lower back stiffness, forearms would hurt/painful, broken rib would always hurt and there was constant pain between my shoulders before I took vitamin d. After taking VD for an extended period of time the skin on my fingers would wear away like a pair of work gloves. I reduced the amount of VD and it went away. I will also testify that when I dont take VD for a few days pain starts returning to all the areas.
Thank you Dr. Berg for all the research you do. You are a real physician. Not like the ones paid by the government in England who don't really care if you get better or not. You stand out in your field and your advice and optimism keep us hanging on with some positivity that we can improve our own help with good advice from people like yourself. Thank you again. 😊
So, it appears you have upped your VD3/K2 ratio. Your earlier videos stated 4000-5000/100; now you're saying 10 000VD/100K2. Is this because there is new research? Or has some agency determined this valued is safe, as opposed to the previous one? If so, please link any relevant studies, or preferably do a new video, on the topic, stating the reasons.
I’m in my mid 40’s and live in the PNW. In the summertime I take in as much sun as possible and get flak from friends because of it. They cannot argue that I never get sick, have a lot of energy and look younger than my age. I’m not advocating sun worshiping for everyone but for me it’s vital
Hello Dr Berg, thank you very much for your growth boost tipps. Because im not the tallest guy, i was concerned about the development of my kids and bumped into your videos inclunding growth boost. Since end of january i tried to follow your tipps as close as possible, and also forced my kids to eat healthy stuff, such as scrambled eggs or paprika, because they refuesd to eat those things since infancy and also threw up, caused by not being used to it, being forced and not getting their will. Now they eat it regulary. Still with a slight distaste, but they accept it now. My just turned 11y old daughter made 8cm and is now 150cm and my just turned 6y boy made approx. 6.5cm and is now at 118,5cm. Their "rapid" growth has also been recognized by others. Thank you very much.
Your periods are fine. Must me, I have endometriosis and my periods are 25 to 27 days every month . It is normal to have regular periods. That means you are healthy.
Before my first pregnancy my period cycle was every 21days😮 Now that I’m in my mid thirties it’s like every 28days to 35days 😂 talk about irregular…. I don’t know if it’s because I’m old or if I have any other issues.
@tea.23 Please don't worry. That is a perfect cycle. Just make sure that you don't bleed a lot and that you don't spot bleed, too. Also, that the pains aren't bad. Periods are meant to be regular. That is a healthy body.
Can you please clarify the link with bipolar disorder; are you saying that a Vitamin D deficiency is a symptom or cause of BD, or is it just an association.
I see Dr Berg as a prophet like all prophets in history they have been abused. I do believe that he struggles a lot to share knowledge with us. Dr. Berg, you are the Conqueror in your field. I congratulate you and I Thank you for the help you provided to all of us.
I used to have pharyngitis almost with every time season change. Then i discovered to be low in vit D. After correcting my vit D levels, pharyngitis gone for almost forever now.
Beware a vit d test is like 1500$ out of pocket and a lot of insurances will only cover the test under certain specific diagnosis. Good luck. I ended up paying 1000
My deficiency took the form of a very dry sore mouth, which I’ve not seen stated anywhere. Vit D deficiency was diagnosed after a blood test. It went as soon as i started taking the tablets.
I like 20,000iu D3 a day...🙂... A very good Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium 400mg, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7(100mcg for every 10,000iu D3). Watch the following video;➡ Is it Safe to Take 10,000 IUs of Vitamin D3? Dr B erg ⬅ ........
I am 59 years old and have braces and an improper jaw alignment. And as a child, I had frequent tonsillitis, hay fever, and started having myopia; sinus issues, eczema and mood problems when I was a little older ... wow, now I know why or at least a common factor!
Sir I am from India ur r helping us alot by giving such a information about each vitamin deficiency we r getting so much diseases now I am able to understand which vit I am deficient and because of that I am getting cured by taking that vit tab thank u so much sir ur educating us so nicely
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for giving us the proper ratio of Vitamin K2 to D3. You may have mentioned it in a past video that I missed. But the first couple of D3/K2 videos of yours that I watched (about a year ago) mentioned no ratio, so I was left to research it on my own. Glad you made it plain here.
It's hard for me to believe you hadn't noticed the reduction in our products of this vitamin through the years with you being a doctor &/or scientist unless you haven't been this for very long. How long have you been a doctor &/or scientist ?

Hi Dr Berg. Thank you for making this interesting and informative video. Myopia...hmm..I have been diagnosed with keratocornus which has made me myopic. If i think back i started becoming myopic once i moved from my native sunny all-year-round part of the world, to the Northern hemisphere and at the same time left high school where i played about 2 hours of sports a day in the afternoon sun, for university where i spent much less time indoors. Do you know if there is an association between keratocornus specifically and vitamin D3 deficiency? I would be interested to know whether there has been any improvements in cornea shape with vitamin d supplementation reported?
I just read Busting Breast Cancer by Susan Wadia-Ells, and she lists several studies that link low Vitamin D to breast cancer. Just adding to the list!
Got sick with a cold, felt very glaucoma-ish during it, the cold is wearing off but this glaucoma is still persisting. Will check out vitamin D supplements :)
Me2, hv itched most of my life - mentioned it to drs, nothing. Turns out I have allergies to certain foods, who knew... bakery breads, spicy foods and aged blue cheeses. Been taking D for years , get out in the sun regularly, and started Cod Liver oil about 5 mos ago that I thought was helpful to my skin's overall look.
Dr Berg, I’m a black woman from the UK. I’m glad you’ve mentioned some of the conditions i suffer from, uterine fibroids, perimenopause symptoms like fatigue and also vertigo. Thanks 🙏🏾 for explaining all this
I had many of these sympyoms and eliminated most of them, NOT by having vit D, but by having high dose Active B6 / P5P, B5, B Complex and time relased vit C with Rutin+Quercetin.
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
What weird timing! I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency a few days ago and my doctor has told me to supplement 1000iu of vitamin D 3 times a day! Thank you doctor Berg for your insights!
I'm not sure your levels but 1000iu is a drop in the bucket. I am a nurse, and my physicians order 50000iu as a weekly dose for usually 6 weeks and drop off to 2000 to 5000iu per day. I always say listen to your doctor, but they often get this one wrong.
Also what we need to keep in mind there are certain predicaments that make us absorb less of the D3 then the rest. Things like age, the older we get the less we absorb, being overweight, having darker skin as in absorption from the sun as dark skinned folks have natural protection but also absorb way less of the D3. All those will influence how much D3 we need. From what i read in these comments on D3 on YT people have this fear they are taking too much and end up not taking enough. Doctors are sometimes to blame as the medical industry sets very low guidelines of how much we need to take. 85+ levels are needed to fight any illness successfully. I have read books about just D3 vitamin and suggest for people to really inform themselves and don’t wait for your doctor to tell you as these doctors were not trained to prescribe vitamins. They go by the guidelines they were given which are super low. Don’t forget the big Pharma don’t want to see you healthy. The sooner you accept that the better for you.
My results show '27 nmol/L' (in australia) and I have a 'mild sufficieny' My doctor had said to take it 3 times a day with meals but considering your comment I may have to up my dosage.@@cindynorris5983
Hey Dr. Berg, I've been watching your videos for a while and I thought it would be a good idea to do a video about height. I'm 22M 5'4 would like to know if I can do anything to improve height. Thanks in advance! We love you Dr. Berg!
Pam here…. I had weight loss surgery where I do not absorb the fat soluble vitatmins well. My heart developed bradycardia…in the 30’s when I slept. My vit d was undetectable in test. Was started on 50k units ASAP and it took 3 months to get it to the bottom of normal range. My resting heart rate went back to 70’s
At 76 I can’t help but reflect on how different my life would have been with this knowledge. I hope young people are sitting up and paying very close attention. I have lived with all of these symptoms my whole life and it wasn’t fun. Thank you Dr. Berg. At least I have a better understanding of unseen influences that were directing my development and choices. 🇨🇦❤️
Same here
One is never too young to start learning, if only young people understood this.
Its not your fault, radium was only banned from consumer products in 1968!
I too have had most of these symptoms

How much vitamin D should kids take? I take 10,000, but not sure what dosage I should give my children.
Give them the same as you they will be protected from colds and flu especially in the cold weather months. My son takes all the vitamins and is never sick.
0-12 months 400 IU (10 mcg)
1-13 years 600 IU (15 mcg)
14-18 years 600 IU (15 mcg)
Figures vary across the world based upon race, diet, sun-exposure etc.
@@SpamMousethose are very low doses even for children
@@шляпик-и1м I agree, which is why I feel there will few that offer a different answer.
Thanks so much Doctor,will try it],
Go for it!
Dang I'm darn near have all the symptoms except acne, but I'm 50 n just starting to get eczema in certain places let me load back up vitamin d,n I just got back IF n keto 2weeks ago
I currently started taking 5,000 iu vitamin d3 with 100 mg of k2 and 360 mg 2x a day of Magensium Glycinate. I tried to increase to 10,000 iu and it gave me extreme anxiety so I went back down to 5,000 iu. I'm wondering why that is. I have been dealing with long COVID for a year.
Try starting with a lower dose and titrate up gradually.
I had to start with children's liquid D3 just 1000 IU for a week. Then I doubled that to 2000 IUs for a couple weeks and then I jumped up to a vegan D3 5000 IUs in coconut oil. From there I am now able to take 30,000 IU ! No anxiety, no negative side effects at all.
I discovered I react really badly to supplement forms of K2. I tried but now I just use a bioactive water based d3 by Biotech and I intentionally incorporate high vit K foods daily. I do grassfed butter, sauerkraut, goat cheeses, free range egg yolks, beef liver are my go-tos.😊
DR BERG’S VITAMIN D3-THE BEST‼️
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
I was born @ 5lbs in the early 60's and I noted that they stuffed me full of D, A and one other. Interesting..
Agree!!!
Thanks for watching!
Dr. Berg, I am a nutritionist. I think it is awful how people are being silenced in media. I've subscribed. Thank you for providing us with ways to hear your perspective and recommendations. I know UA-cam may be hot for now. Many people are tired of the censorship. I know there are developments for optional sites, more lucrative. Thank you for your content. I appreciate it!
I had a major Vitamin D deficiency issue a few years ago and even though I was taking vitamin D my body wasn’t absorbing it. My doctor told me to make sure that on top of taking vitamin D that I also sit in the sun for 20 minutes three times a week. It definitely made a huge difference
How about 60 minutes once a week?

Sounds like you have a good doctor.
I have a great Intergrative medical doctor who always goes with holistic medicine before western. She’s fantastic and even today I had a high dose vitamin C drip and while I was getting that she suggested that next time to boost my vitamin D we might do a shot of it.
Vitamin D helped me overcome a 22 year history of colitis! 10 months ago I saw Dr Berg's videos on vitamin D and autoimmune diseases. I started following his protocol and within days my symptoms were getting better!! 3 months ago I was deprescribed from my colitis medicine. Two days ago I had a follow-up colonoscopy which revealed no inflammation!! Along the way I lost 45 lbs, and was deprescribed from 2 blood pressure medications. I thank you!!
That's awesome, congratulations.
I love this. Congrats.
That is excellent!
Wow!🎉
I get 1-2 episodes a year since I was 13 years old, so don't think it has comeback as it never goes we have it for life I guess. But that is so awesome for you, getting off those meds and the weight loss should make you feel like a NEW PERSON.

@@myjourney703 The list of benefits of vitamin D is extensive no doubt. The sun literally gives life to the entire planet so surely it will be massively beneficial for us.
No such thing as Lonnng anything, more like vax damage.
@@myjourney703 : It does, but not everybody makes vitamin D in their skin equally. So, a redhead (with very light skin) has fewer layers of skin to contain melanin, and less melanin in each layer,so that the sunlight’s uv rays penetrate more easily and more vitamin D is made in a shorter amount of time. Her best friend goes outside and spends as much time doing the same activities with her, with darker skin tends to have more layers of skin, and each layer has more pigment in it, which filters out the sunlight. So unlike her redheaded body, the dark skinned friend makes far less vitamin D, but for her there’s an upside to the darker skin leading less uv in: She’s far less likely to end up with malignant melanoma.
So the redheaded buddy ends up having to wear more sunscreen, and the dark skinned friend could benefit from vitamin D3 supplements.
That’s important to know, especially if you have very dark skin.
Years ago I had Vitamin D deficiency where my levels were low 5. I was so sick that I was in and out of the emergency room for 6 months. I saw 20 different doctors that performed so many test trying to find out why I had so many severe symptoms all together. Every test came back negative except my Vitamin D level. Out of the 20 doctors that saw me only 1 doctor told me to take Vitamin D3. Once I started taking Vitamin D3 all of my symptoms were gone and my health improved. Vitamin D is a miracle hormone.

Outstanding info as usual. We need Dr Berg in charge of the FDA so the truth would be taught, told and enforced and the garbage off the market
It's actually terrible because Dr Berg has got Vitamin D wrong completely here. Vitamin D deficiency is actually an indicator of a Magnesium deficiency. Taking more vitamin D will actually make the Magnesium deficiency worse so can't meaningfully increase vitamin D levels. It's Dr Berg's lack of understanding on this matter that has him recommending super doses of vitamin D but this could actually be damaging people's health. Most of the symptoms in the video are directly related to a Magnesium deficiency not a Vitamin D deficiency, it just seems like it's vitamin D because low magnesium causes low vitamin D. The fix is to first fix your magnesium deficiency. Any Vitamin D video that doesn't focus on Magnesium is potentially harmful and not in the interest of optimal health.
@Civic. Dr Berg knows this! Magnesium is in his D3&K2 supplements that he sells!
What do you know about cholecalciferol?
I would like to add to this list the 3 major symptoms I had when diagnosed with low vit D level of 6: EXTREME FATIGUE, MANY TENDER AND PAINFUL SPOTS along my muscles and SUNKEN FINGERNAILS. ALL of these went away a few weeks after i was treated with vit D.
I agree muscle aches and bone pain is a def thing
Sharing Dr Berg notes:
Having low vitamin D can affect the body in a myriad of ways-it’s important to avoid becoming deficient in vitamin D.
Keep in mind that any time you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2. The ratio should be 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3.
Being vitamin D deficient is commonly associated with symptoms like:
• Bone loss
• Bone pain
• Low immunity
• Depression
• High blood pressure
• Inflammation
• Asthma
• Poor sleep
Surprising signs of vitamin D deficiency:
1. Nightmares

My son has schizophrenia. Watching Dr. Ber has had his symptoms down 50%. He had high blood pressure, no more. He had a kidney stone one inch in size but due to diet, it is the size of the tip of a pen. He lost 20 pounds by default, not trying. This is because we implemented much of what he taught and my research trying to understand what schizophrenics lack, Dr. Berg shows me where and how to get that vitamin, mineral, or whatever it is. I had major anxiety again and forgot about dr. Bergs videos and just last night, I slept for 4 hrs straight. I've not slept well for a week so I know I will go back to it.

Looking back on my childhood I was probably vitamin D deficient my whole life. I was diagnosed in my 50’s when I was being tested for celiac. Also looking back at my children’s childhood and adulthood, I bet they were also. I’m going to share this video with them. Thank you!
its a reallization we all have once we take vit d for 3 days.
You are the ONLY medical person on all of UA-cam I trust. Thank you for your honest and understandable content to so many basic health issues.
I am a 62-year-old African American woman who currently maintains a daily regimen of 40,000 IU of vitamin D3, alongside 400 mcg of vitamin K2. Following Dr. Berg's guidance, it is recommended to take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Regarding the matter of urinary incontinence, I am grateful to report that I do not experience this issue.
if you eat unhealthy food, don´t think that high dose D vill save you! Better to eat healthy , unprocessed food, no supplements at all than unhealthy food, suger, smoking etc and lots of D Vit.
@@ml-hy2sh Even eating "healthy" has its drawbacks with the use of GMOs and pesticides also the fact most westerners are completely deficient due to being indoors all day. If anything, a North American should be taking a Vit D supplement especially in the winter.
The research indicates you cannot gain the same benefits from supplements as having a healthy lifestyle aka getting lots of sunlight and eating plenty of vitamin rich(full-fat!) foods such as raw dairy in the form of milk or cheeses. I'm sick of seeing adverts for supplements.. eat real food and get in the sun!
@cherylrleigh1912 you mentioned that in your comment, are you taking daily 40,000 iu of vitamin d and for how long
what if I cant eat dairy because of rosacea? Please respond if you can, thank you.@@jessica6513
I suffer from Graves disease and went on 5000IU's a day 1,5 years ago. After one month the depression let off and I had been depressed since the age of three! Then symptom after symptom let go and after 1,3 years I felt reborn! Never in my life had I felt so great so I took down the fose of vitamin D to 2000 a day since a doctor had told me my level on 214 was too high and dangerous. Bad move, I quickly went down again with fatigue and just days ago the depression came back although not as bad as before. I had bloodtests and despite all my symptoms of another graves episode, my thyroid levels were fine however my vitamin D levels had gone down to 119. Im now back on 5000 and will NEVER lower it again! The difference is like between life and death for me if I go under 5000.
If that make you feel good keep taking it is your body only you know how it feel what it need
Maybe your body needs something else that works like vitamin D. Try Benfotiamine (B1). You have nothing to lose. This is just an opinion 🤔
Well seems I have a vitamin D deficiency i have all 23 symptoms.
I have a couple and will be increasing my D intake. At least we have great info to help us.
Go outside
@@ChickenTender57
Going outside isn’t enough to increase vitamin D if you’re significantly deficient. You will also run the risk of skin cancer. I need to go to the dermatologist every 6 months and she finds it every visit.
I’m rarely in the sun anymore.
Some people genetically don’t process vitamin D from the sun either.

Thank you for all you do to keep us informed and educated.
Wonderful! So glad to hear that!
A Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7(100mcg for every 10,000iu D3) & B6-P5P(activated-pyridoxal-5-phosphate) at the same time. ➡One important function & benefit of Vitamin D3 is that it helps the body absorb Calcium which in turn plays a part in how the body absorbs Magnesium. The levels of Vitamin B6-P5P in the body determines how much Magnesium will be absorbed into the cells. Vitamin D3 ensures calcium is absorbed easily & Vitamin K2-MK7 activates the protein, osteocalcin, which integrates Calcium into bone. Without D3 & K2, Calcium can not do its job effectively. Vitamin K2-MK7 activates matrix GLA protein (MGP) to bind excess Calcium & promote arterial flow & flexibility. ➡D3 is fat soluble so the Dr said to take all these with a meal because they'll absorb better.....
Wow. My life would have been much different, had I known this earlier! I'm 54 now, and am being treated for low Vitamin D, by my primary care physician, currently. However, I am seeing symptoms that both my children suffer from!! Flat feet, scoliosis, etc!!
If ONLY, I had known, 30 years ago, my beloved children, may have avoided certain health issues! That's just heartbreaking 💔😭
Dr. Berg, I find it interesting that Vit D deficiency can cause wheezing, and skin irritations as Chinese medicine connects Lung and Skin issues to each other. (I guess that makes sense bc they're both epithelial tissue).
Dr. B, yesterday I met this pregnant lady, and she was contemplating not taking her prenatal vitamins. I referred her to your channel and briefly explained the importance of vit D during pregnancy!!!! Hopefully, it helps her
🎉🎉🎉🎉
ZOMG that's so important of you!!!!!!! xDD
Dangerous for her to miss folic acid too. Can lead to spina bifida. I can't imagine why someone would like this is a good idea.
I sure hope she watches the video because vitamins while pregnant are very important.
It's very dangerous to not take prenatal vitamins for a pregnant woman.
Did she skip out because it made her nauseous. This was my issue. 😢
My dad has prostate cancer and it was because of his chronic vitamin D3 he takes 30.000 IU a day with K2 200 mcg and Magnesium and hes feeling away better.
nicely done, just make sure he doesnt eat fake calcium aka all calcium supplements, he's just gonna load his body up with silt and aches. otherwise sounds smart.

Thank you doctor Berg. You have no idea how much this is helping. My 9 years old daughter has at least 4 of these symptoms and I never thought of vit D deficiency.

I was born with Rickets / Lyme Disease and this list makes so much sense. My Lyme Literate Naturopathic Doctor who fully reversed his own extreme case of Parkinson’s Disease, found out that my body does not absorb Vitamin D or Iron properly
How did he find out and what did he recommend?
I thought my winter dose of 28.000 was too much but now I’m thinking that should be a minimum and maybe I need to nearly double that in winter months especially since I’m a brown skin person

When I got covid about 1 year ago, I woke up and couldn’t open my eyes as they perceived the low level light of sunrise to be blinding.
After being in bed all day I forced myself to sit outside in shorts and nothing else because the sun was out. After 40mins sat there with my eyelids closed I felt refreshed and could at least open my eyes.
I too was deficient in Vitamin D3 and had horrible RLS. I had no idea what caused it and went to 2 neurologists, tried everything they suggested (including an opioid at bedtime) to no avail. All I know is that it mysteriously went away but I cannot put a timetable on taking D3 K2 and my symptoms disappearing. I wish I had documented this. I take 10,000 IU D3 and 260 mcg K2 dailey and have no more RLS so I'm happy. Was D3 the cause of my RLS? I have no idea but it does make sense now.
Wow, 50,000iu of vitamin D?? I'm not judging, just confirming. I've been on 40,000 for a month and my psoriasis is in retreat mode. Great video, thanks for posting.
Unfortunately, didn't say how often, but I've had three doctors recommended that dosage, and it was weekly.
I’ve been taking 50k IU with 200 mcg K2 daily. I thought it would be for a short time, but I think my deficiency is severe.
@@SuraDoes Same here. Getting out in the sun seems to help, and I'm not sure water hardness isn't a factor in my case. It's off the charts here. Reverse Osmosis water is definitely on the list of things that cause vitamin D deficiency, so not a stretch to think that hard water couldn't affect it in some way. Maybe dr. Berg could expound.
Why why why can't doctors talk about this. Why treat symptoms instead of root cause. Dr Berg thank you for being so awesome and helpful. . It's a shame that doctors are not like you
My doctor wants to give a small dose of something for “the bipolar” as she always says. Yet my red blood count is low and hemeglobin and she refuses to check my vitamin d. She also laughed when I mentioned long covid. 😢 I’ve dealt with covid while pregnant, alopecia and feeling dizzy everyday and she says it’s the anxiety/bipolar. My mood is actually great for once but it’s my body. She again thinks I’m crazy. Imagine some people who are mentally ill just have deficiencies. 😖

You need to get a vitamin D3 lab test to see where you are and then retake it months later after dosing for a while to understand what your body needs. I personally feel better and not have the above symptoms along with improved immunity when I am between 55-100 ng/ml. I currently take 5,000 IU in the summer and 10,000 IU in the winter. I also take Vitamin K2 (MK-7) at the same time and take magnesium supplements during the day.
@unclegeorge4629 thank you yes I've had bloods done recently and taking a D3 supplement aswell as K2/MK7 but still have those pesky bumps on my arms so just thought you might have included something else. Will retake bloods in 3 months and see
Last year I had low vitamin D. It was awful, I felt like I was going nuts. Restless legs, felt these shock sensations thru my body, couldn't sleep, emotions were all over. Thought it was early menopause. I had labs done and found my vitamin d was very low. I never even knew it was a thing.
You may want to have b12 checked, too. I've had both be low and had the shocks, but that symptom for me was lack of b12.
Both B12 n D3 better
Dr. Berg has been reading my mind! I was recently intrigued with how vitamin D plays a huge role. I am so grateful to have found you. I started to take vitamin D my heart palpitations has decreased. Parkinson’s Disease has signs of vitamin D depletion, no vitamin D. Also, sugar depletes vitamin D. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Interestingly, almost every one of these describes me from childhood to adulthood. I'm not surprised, but it sure does explain a lot of my issues. Thanks Dr. Berg!
So low vitamin D could lead to overnight build-up of nasal mucus?
I've been seeing primary Drs and other Drs for years. I like to think for the most part that I stay on top of my health and no one ever told me the importance of Vitamin D.
I honestly don't mind sharing that I didn't learn about this until watching a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast speak about it relating to C19.
I had to ask for a Vitamin D test and sure enough I was deficient.
Be your own advocate don't just assume that your Dr is telling you everything.

I will testify that I had lower back stiffness, forearms would hurt/painful, broken rib would always hurt and there was constant pain between my shoulders before I took vitamin d.

I will also testify that when I dont take VD for a few days pain starts returning to all the areas.

I wish I knew this info. When I was a teenager..I would pass out whenever I started my periods from severe pain.
Thanks Dr. Berg!❤
So, it appears you have upped your VD3/K2 ratio. Your earlier videos stated 4000-5000/100; now you're saying 10 000VD/100K2. Is this because there is new research? Or has some agency determined this valued is safe, as opposed to the previous one?
If so, please link any relevant studies, or preferably do a new video, on the topic, stating the reasons.
Yea its really confusing sometimes, different Dr's always change the vd/k2 ratios
I’m in my mid 40’s and live in the PNW. In the summertime I take in as much sun as possible and get flak from friends because of it. They cannot argue that I never get sick, have a lot of energy and look younger than my age. I’m not advocating sun worshiping for everyone but for me it’s vital
I made a video of this on my channel..literally thought I was dying 😮
Hello Dr Berg, thank you very much for your growth boost tipps. Because im not the tallest guy, i was concerned about the development of my kids and bumped into your videos inclunding growth boost.
Since end of january i tried to follow your tipps as close as possible, and also forced my kids to eat healthy stuff, such as scrambled eggs or paprika, because they refuesd to eat those things since infancy and also threw up, caused by not being used to it, being forced and not getting their will. Now they eat it regulary. Still with a slight distaste, but they accept it now.
My just turned 11y old daughter made 8cm and is now 150cm and my just turned 6y boy made approx. 6.5cm and is now at 118,5cm. Their "rapid" growth has also been recognized by others.
Thank you very much.
Vitamin d deficiency is very common and even more so these days. Thank you Dr Berg as always
That’s because the propaganda tells you to stay away from the sun, when getting some sun everyday is one of the best things for you.

Yes absolutely necessary.

Please answer..... ❤
I used to have pharyngitis almost with every time season change. Then i discovered to be low in vit D. After correcting my vit D levels, pharyngitis gone for almost forever now.
Beware a vit d test is like 1500$ out of pocket and a lot of insurances will only cover the test under certain specific diagnosis. Good luck. I ended up paying 1000
In what country is this? In Canada it is 65$ . You can order online kit to self measure it for around 50-60 USD.
My deficiency took the form of a very dry sore mouth, which I’ve not seen stated anywhere. Vit D deficiency was diagnosed after a blood test. It went as soon as i started taking the tablets.
Thank you DR BERG🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖I HAD MISERABLE LIFE FOR 30 HEARS ,MANY OF THOSE SYMPTOMS 💖🙏🙏🌹🥀🌹🥀
Sorry to hear about your condition. Hope my suggestion here will help you.
I take D3 + K2 - 5,000 IU’s + 50 mcg but I still have some of the symptoms you spoke of - should I up my intake to 2 or 3/ day???
I like 20,000iu D3 a day...🙂... A very good Dr👨⚕ advised me to take Magnesium 400mg, D3, Vitamin K2-MK7(100mcg for every 10,000iu D3).
Watch the following video;➡ Is it Safe to Take 10,000 IUs of Vitamin D3? Dr B erg ⬅ ........
Thank you Dr Berg. I purchased your D3 & K2 vitamins and they have helped immensely. Very quick shipping to Australia 😊
Wonderful! So glad to hear that!
Depression is a major symptom
I am 59 years old and have braces and an improper jaw alignment. And as a child, I had frequent tonsillitis, hay fever, and started having myopia; sinus issues, eczema and mood problems when I was a little older ... wow, now I know why or at least a common factor!
Sir I am from India ur r helping us alot by giving such a information about each vitamin deficiency we r getting so much diseases now I am able to understand which vit I am deficient and because of that I am getting cured by taking that vit tab thank u so much sir ur educating us so nicely
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for giving us the proper ratio of Vitamin K2 to D3. You may have mentioned it in a past video that I missed. But the first couple of D3/K2 videos of yours that I watched (about a year ago) mentioned no ratio, so I was left to research it on my own. Glad you made it plain here.
It's hard for me to believe you hadn't noticed the reduction in our products of this vitamin through the years with you being a doctor &/or scientist unless you haven't been this for very long.
How long have you been a doctor &/or scientist ?
This man IS a real Doctor. At the very least what a Doctor should be.❤❤❤❤
Shoulda named your vid "Vitamin D-ficiency: 23 weird symptoms"

I can attest to depression and skin problems (non-healing wounds) because of this deficiency
Hi Dr Berg. Thank you for making this interesting and informative video. Myopia...hmm..I have been diagnosed with keratocornus which has made me myopic. If i think back i started becoming myopic once i moved from my native sunny all-year-round part of the world, to the Northern hemisphere and at the same time left high school where i played about 2 hours of sports a day in the afternoon sun, for university where i spent much less time indoors. Do you know if there is an association between keratocornus specifically and vitamin D3 deficiency? I would be interested to know whether there has been any improvements in cornea shape with vitamin d supplementation reported?
I just read Busting Breast Cancer by Susan Wadia-Ells, and she lists several studies that link low Vitamin D to breast cancer. Just adding to the list!
Nylon bras cause breast cancer too its in men’s boxers also causing dysfunction
Thanks for sharing!
I've seen your Ad for the 1st time, they will help with your recent encounters. Keep up the great work
Got sick with a cold, felt very glaucoma-ish during it, the cold is wearing off but this glaucoma is still persisting. Will check out vitamin D supplements :)
I had itching for 4 years , started having 10,000 IU and now itching is gone , i am thankful to you dr berg
I've had itchy skin for years, over 8 I think now, doctors have no idea what's wrong as blood work comes back fine, hoping this will help!
Me2, hv itched most of my life - mentioned it to drs, nothing. Turns out I have allergies to certain foods, who knew... bakery breads, spicy foods and aged blue cheeses. Been taking D for years , get out in the sun regularly, and started Cod Liver oil about 5 mos ago that I thought was helpful to my skin's overall look.
💭💭 I wonder 💭 if vitamin D would help women who are going through perimenopause menopause post menopause since vitamin D is a hormone 👈🏻💭❔ DR BERG 👍🏻
Dr Berg, I’m a black woman from the UK. I’m glad you’ve mentioned some of the conditions i suffer from, uterine fibroids, perimenopause symptoms like fatigue and also vertigo. Thanks 🙏🏾 for explaining all this
I had many of these sympyoms and eliminated most of them, NOT by having vit D, but by having high dose Active B6 / P5P, B5, B Complex and time relased vit C with Rutin+Quercetin.
Thanks dr. berg✨So great💯
Thank you. Glad you like this.
Good thing you informed about youtube's unfair policies at the end. Will subscribe to your newsletter. Thanks.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
What weird timing! I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency a few days ago and my doctor has told me to supplement 1000iu of vitamin D 3 times a day! Thank you doctor Berg for your insights!
D3 with K2 is the best.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm in the sun a lot, and my D was mid to low. I now switch monthly between 5000iu and 10,000iu because of Dr. Berg.
I'm not sure your levels but 1000iu is a drop in the bucket. I am a nurse, and my physicians order 50000iu as a weekly dose for usually 6 weeks and drop off to 2000 to 5000iu per day. I always say listen to your doctor, but they often get this one wrong.
Also what we need to keep in mind there are certain predicaments that make us absorb less of the D3 then the rest. Things like age, the older we get the less we absorb, being overweight, having darker skin as in absorption from the sun as dark skinned folks have natural protection but also absorb way less of the D3. All those will influence how much D3 we need. From what i read in these comments on D3 on YT people have this fear they are taking too much and end up not taking enough. Doctors are sometimes to blame as the medical industry sets very low guidelines of how much we need to take. 85+ levels are needed to fight any illness successfully. I have read books about just D3 vitamin and suggest for people to really inform themselves and don’t wait for your doctor to tell you as these doctors were not trained to prescribe vitamins. They go by the guidelines they were given which are super low. Don’t forget the big Pharma don’t want to see you healthy. The sooner you accept that the better for you.
My results show '27 nmol/L' (in australia) and I have a 'mild sufficieny' My doctor had said to take it 3 times a day with meals but considering your comment I may have to up my dosage.@@cindynorris5983
Thank you doc I do use vitamin D it's helping me with high blood pressure, good sleep, and muscles problems
Hey Dr. Berg, I've been watching your videos for a while and I thought it would be a good idea to do a video about height. I'm 22M 5'4 would like to know if I can do anything to improve height. Thanks in advance! We love you Dr. Berg!
Pam here…. I had weight loss surgery where I do not absorb the fat soluble vitatmins well. My heart developed bradycardia…in the 30’s when I slept. My vit d was undetectable in test. Was started on 50k units ASAP and it took 3 months to get it to the bottom of normal range. My resting heart rate went back to 70’s
