- Adequate vitamin D nutrition is associated with the prevention of rickets in children and therefore, little thought is given about the consequences of vitamin D deficiency in adults. However, it is now becoming clear that vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining bone health from birth until death. Of equal importance is that vitamin D has a multitude of other biologic functions in the body that may be important for the prevention of common cancers, hypertension, type-1 diabetes, as well as a host of other common maladies that afflict elders.
Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D. is a Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics; Director of the General Clinical Research Unit; Director of the Bone Health Care Clinic and the Director of the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory at Boston University Medical Center. Dr. Holick has made numerous contributions to the field of the biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, and photobiology of vitamin D for human nutrition.
Dr. Holick has established global recommendations advising sunlight exposure as an integral source of vitamin D. He has helped increase awareness in the pediatric and medical communities regarding vitamin D deficiency pandemic, and its role in causing not only metabolic bone disease, and osteoporosis in adults, but increasing risk of children and adults developing preeclampsia, common deadly cancers, schizophrenia, infectious diseases including TB and influenza, autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease.

Why is it that the medical profession is always struggling to keep up with the non-medical public when it comes to health building and disease prevention? The main reason is that health building and disease prevention cuts into their cash flow.
After 6 months of taking 6000 IU everyday,my level of vitamin D was at 53ng/ml(25 Hydroxy D),i've raise my intake to 11000 IU and after another 6 months my level was at 69 ng/ml(25 Hydroxy D),am now taking 20 000 IU everyday,i would like to reach a level between 80 and 90.The best way to have a idea how much to take is to get tested at least once to know were you are.Before starting taking my vitamin D supplement,i was eating fish 3 to 5 time per week,i was taking cod liver oil everyday,no fast food,don't drink,don't smoke,train everyday.I was shock to see that with my healthy life style + my 6000 IU per day i was only at 53 ng/ml
Nice, way to go! Keep up the good sun exposure😄👍
You should use vitamin d softgels without cod liver oil. The vitamin A may hinder the progression of your vitamin d synthesis if consumed too much.
colddarknight666 question is, do you now feel better
I didn't notice any changes,vitamin D is just "one piece of the puzzle".There are so many other things that the body might lack off.
I recommend him to everyone I know. I know they are healthier too. This man is my choice for Man of the year!
This is like a breakthrough for me... So much information in a single hour! I feel like I have been sleeping. Thank you very much for this presentation.
EXCELLENT and thank you! Man of the century award!
This is the most useful information about Calcium, and Vitamin D. Thank you!
The Bat with Blood transfusion bag on the side is hilarious...awesome video.
What a wealth of info in just one lecture: 1 million IU will make one toxic but not 50.000 a week for 8 weeks. Bats were just fine with above 200 ng/ml. Holick is around 50 ng/ml and makes a good exemple for us all.
This is a must-see, although I wish Dr Holic research milk consumption a bit deeper than he did in the time of delivering this speech.
The Type 1 diabetes portion is at 58:22 - 59.:00, in case someone wants to find it quickly.
amazing presentation
Ay e you should review Dr Fung “ THE CALCIUM STORY”. I hate calcium supplements will never take them - DR Fung believes they actually do harm. I agree for me.
AS ALWAYS DR HOLICK YOU HAVE NOT ONLY SCIENCE YOU ARE MAKE EASY SOMETHING REALLY COMPLEX
I always say the more we look to our primitive ancestors the better off we will be, they were not slathering themselves with sunscreen, they were in the sun being active!
Michael holick is best man of the world
I've always admired your work, Dr. Holick. Thank you for being an educated voice for vitamin D. It is so crucial for my patients and so many are deficient. Not in agreement, though, with your evolutionary theories. I've studied so much physiology and I've can't deny intelligent design.
Superb talk, thank you
How frustrating he talks about regular (non-raw) milk being good! And tums! There are studies that raw milk works...but there are many other great sources. But his vitamin d info is great!
great video, thank you :) I added it to my favs
thank you so much!!
Oops at 24:25 - it is impossible to reduce anything by 400%. If something, e.g., need for primary C-section, is reduced by 100%, it means it is entirely eliminated. Dr. Holick should probably have said the need was reduced by 75%.
I live in Nz, I want to start taking Vitamin D especially as MS runs in my family.... where can I get active vitamin D from that is in a larger enough portion to actually be useful?????????? Please Advise....
Where can you get the vit d cream
thank you greetings from mexico
Have yourself tested AND THEN adjust your dosage accordingly. NO ONE can tell you if 10, 000 IU is safe or not because IT DEPENDS.
Can we use a vitamin d lamp? I keep seeing conflicting info on this. Some say tanning beds aren't safe because they use a magnetic ballast, is the the reason they're not safe? Or are any and all tanning lights unsafe? Thanks,
Marketing ploy on the ballasts. You'll get more 'radiation' holding a cell phone to your ear, but you won't hear about that one either.
great !
My sister and I always believed in Vitamin D but only what we get from the sun.
What about prostate cancer? Seems to be related to milk consumption...
so what about 1,25 dihydroxy and the elevation due to cellular infection

Is 10,000UI vitamin supplement daily safe to take?And also is all vitamin D3 Products the same for example if i buy vitamin D3 from Walgreen made by Nature Made. is that the same quality as prescribed vitamins?
You want to find a gelcap with olive oil as it's 'carrier' with no other additional ingredients. Doctors Best brand is one that many have used over the years.
Where can i buy a save d3 suplement?
Walmart.
actually I take 10,000 for about a coupe of years and my vit d went to 175 . so not so safe the upper limit.
That totally depends on your location. The UK and many others use nMol/L as the scale of measurement, with an optimal range of 200-250 nMol/L. The US uses a scale of ng/ml with an optimal range of 80-100 ng/ml. The first cases of toxicity do not appear until those levels are over 500 nMol/L (UK) or 200 ng/ml (US)
The sun is very hot here
moderation is the key and eating a healthy diet .I use Coconut oil as a sunscreen and I wear hat sun glasses and shirt in summer . In winter I use a sun lamp just like they use in mother Russia and I also take cod liver oil .Vitamin D from sunlight or UVB lamps increases testosterone in men. Makes you sleep better too .To keep your skin healthy young drink one glass of water with two citrus limes or lemons blend the limes or lemons in a blender with filtered water and drink the citrus juice every morning .Cholecalciferol, or activated vitamin D3, causes a life-threateningly high calcium and phosphorus level in the body, resulting in severe, acute kidney failure. ... Acute kidney failure develops 2-3 days after ingestion of this type of mouse and rat poison.
Have you studied vitamin D for 40 years? Do you have a vitamin D lab and have patients that are vitamin D deficient? Where is your research on this subject? Have you visited Doctor Holick in Boston? I have.
Milk? Are you kidding me? I am from The Netherlands. We've consumed milk products like no one. We are also in the top three osteoporose index. Humans are herbivores.

Where do you get this information? I think your must reading something that is absolutely not verified at all. People that need to get their vitamin D up are healthier and vitamin D is not going to increase your calcium...you will have to take calcium and or eat high foods with calcium in them. And what are those foods? Not much works to help get your calcium up.
That's because you cannot take D3 without taking K2. Vit K2 is essential for ushering calcium into the bones. Without it, you'll build up calcium plaques in the arteries and veins and be at a high risk for Afib, strokes, pulmonary embolisms and myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).
D3 will indeed increase calcium in the bloodstream, because it uses up your body's stores of K2. That is the only reason. But you must have K2 to move calcium out of the bloodstream and into the bones. D3 also uses up your stores of magnesium, as well, as it requires Mg+ to activate it in the bloodstream. Therefore, it's recommended to take 1000mcg of K2 (MK-7 form, as MK4 is not as strong) and 1200 mg Mg+ per 10,000IUs of D3
