Dr Berg notes on this "must see" episode! Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you’d have to consume hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 for months! Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity. The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone. When you increase your vitamin D intake, you’ll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth. The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries. Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup. Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs. It’s best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Hey Doc. Night shift blue collar worker here. Just want to say thanks. Been taking much higher doses like you recommended and man the major difference in my attitude. Also cutting down on the coffee has made a difference. How about a video for the night crew? 🙏
@@aniawheelock Dear Nurse… Thank you so much for all your work. Nurses are simply the best. I don’t have to tell you how difficult and unnatural the night shift is. It’s very very taxing on the body and I think it destroys your health over time. I hope you can eventually shift out of the night shift… Just for your own well-being. In the meantime, I thank you for all you do.❤❤
Thank you for keeping the videos short and to the point. You helped my mother clear her psoriasis after over 10 years of struggling. Thank you DR.berg.
Yeah, same with probiotics for gut health....I just buy raw kefir from Sprouts (but not anymore, because the feds are after our farmers), and it's way better than the pills.
Only issue is our food lacks a lot of the essential vitamins and minerals nowadays as the soil is depleted of them, so supplementing seems kind of essential
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to guy called Eric Berg and the book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
My daughter developed a “connective tissue disorder” her shoulder would dislocate 10+ times per day and she had rips in her tendons. 3 years of physical therapy and surgeries and we were told there was nothing else they can do. I found out about cod liver oil and she hasn’t had dislocations or any more tares in 4 years!!
@@SofieDhimertikaI used 3 tablespoons a day when I found out about it from a Dr Berg’s videos. I used it in salads, with apple cider vinegar. But I was extremely deficient in d3, omega 3, etc. If fasting, I’m using Dr Berg’s D3&K2.
Do you know that there’s a class of antibiotics that causes tendon connective tissue disorders called Fluoroquinolones? I was put on Levaquin for pneumonia seven years ago and was not able to use my right arm for almost two years due to extreme shoulder pain…which also caused nerve damage and numbness in my right thumb. Thankfully, I no longer deal with this but I was never aware that there’s a black box warning about this on the label. There are various names under this class of antibiotics. You might check and see if your daughter was prescribed one of these antibiotics before her injury. It can take upwards to a month or longer for symptoms to appear after taking it.
On the contrary. Big pharma are really happy your stuffing all these man made unnaturally ingested vitamins into your body. you pee most of it out, your body wants it from good food, the way it's been used to getting it for aeons.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been "diluted". Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or "forgotten". You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.
Thank you for sharing this! It's so true that much of the valuable nutritional knowledge from the past has been overlooked or suppressed. I appreciate how Dr. Berg consistently brings clarity and uncovers these truths for us. His insights into the changing RDAs and the power of nutritional therapies are invaluable. Blessings to all who continue seeking and sharing this vital information!
I'm getting all confused. I think I will stick to a good natural multi vit and leave it at that because this is overwhelming and expensive. My kitchen counter looks like I'm a vitiman junkie. I love this information but it's overwhelming and frankly there is just too much to remember of what how and when to take!! I mean really...our ancestors didn't take all this stuff and yet here we are........I'm done with this overwhelm of information.
Magnesium Glycinate: Recommended for its high absorption, with doses potentially exceeding 800 mg to relieve cramps. Some individuals may require significantly higher amounts (up to 2400 mg) depending on needs. Zinc: Best obtained from food sources like red meat and shellfish. For supplementation, it’s crucial to ensure it's part of a trace mineral blend to avoid creating a copper deficiency over time. Vitamin K2: For those taking high doses of vitamin D3 (e.g., 10,000 IU), a ratio of 100 mcg of K2 per 10,000 IU of D3 is suggested. The preferred form is MK-7, which can be found in grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, beef, and eggs. Vitamin A: Best sourced from animal-based foods such as egg yolks and liver, with cod liver oil being particularly recommended for its balance of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene from vegetables is noted as an ineffective source for vitamin A.
Dr. Berg was recommended to me by my sister who is a nurse regarding Rosacea. His natural remedy has worked very well. I listen regularly. Congrats on hitting 13 mill followers 😊
Thank you for answering my question regarding vitamin D3 and possible toxicity that a well known bio chemist regularly warns about on facebook. I’m so thankful that you clarified this!
I appreciate you very much. It’s much easier for me to absorb the information when you write it on the whiteboard and the dosages together so I can screenshot it and make sure I’m getting exactly what you’re saying.
Would you please consider making an informational video on how you research medical studies and how you read them as well as how you are researching the ingredients of something you may or may not consume? THIS would be really valuable information for EVERYONE. ❤
Thank you for the fantastic suggestion! An informational video on how to research medical studies, interpret them, and evaluate ingredients in products sounds incredibly valuable-I’ll definitely consider creating this to help others make informed choices for their health!
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi Happy New Year! Could you please give us the title so that we may source the video you’re talking about? I’ve only seen videos where he explains his findings and gives sources, but not the underlying methodology to find and interpret that information. I’m still a beginner but I’d really like to learn what it means to do quality research like how I’ve seen Dr Berg and Dr Saladino do so I’d really appreciate it.
Eat healthy, exercise and walk a mile a day, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 65th birthday lately. 😊😊🤷
65 ? Your just a lad, I've eaten none of those things and am way older than yourself and fitter than many kids I know. Good fresh food , both meat, fish and veg. No industrial food (supermarket meals or seed oils) Low sugar intake, (that includes especially bread). Add to that regular exercise and sunshine and you'll stand a good chance of a long healthy life. It's the ancient formula, we don't need so called "super foods" they are just today's fad. Most people if they live healthily don't need extra vitamins.
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 Your dedication to healthy living is truly inspiring-such a well-rounded routine with nutrient-rich foods, daily exercise, and mindful habits. It’s proof that small, consistent choices lead to a vibrant and long life. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years ahead!
I take 50k a day right now (winter). It's not a dose i just came up with. It's the minimum of what i found i need to keep my mood out of the tank during this time of year. I just needed the courage to go past the RDA bc it did nothing, just nothing. I do have the genes that make Vitamin D harder to uptake. I would have never thought to look for that if it hadnt been for these videos. So grateful, thank you! You also, helped me with my gastritis and sibo!
50,000 iu equals 1.25 mg. It doesn't sound like a lot when its in milligrams does it? For such an important vitamin/hormone, maybe thats why those in charge decided to measure D3 in international units?
Learn to eat natto. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores usually in the frozen section. I suggest 1/4 teaspoon a day until you get used to the taste and slimy texture. You’ll eventually come to love it and your body will crave it.
Thanks for finally making a video putting this dosage into context! Vitamin K2 is crucial when taking vitamin D because if you dont the vitamin D calcifies the arteries, but the vitamin K ensures that it sends it into bones and teeth where it is needed! Emphasis should be placed on this.Zinc glycinate is the better zinc!
fake news. It depends. Medicine says there are people who need D with K and some only D. You need to do special test to know it. I don't remember what is called this test but there is test for that.
I started losing weight from 18/ 6 in my midsection and even ankle legs I stopped eating at 1pm to 6 this morning. I made some organic coffee slowly eating 2 eggs with Avocado and going walking, take my vitamins❤ Merry Christmas to you all ❤
Read the Bible. It's better. It names all the foods you should eat too. Berg seems to agree with most: eggs, butter, fat of lambs, etc. Cows, bulls, goats etc etc, veges, fruits, fresh olive oil (not store bought they put stuff in it that is harmful). Honey, nuts etc
You need to start the day with the Word of God and finish it that way. The Holy Bible will prosper you eternally, his suggestions can only prosper temporarily and what if something happens and you die? Your healthy body and your soul will go to hell. Thats not Gods will for you ( or any of us,) thats why He sent Jesus. Ask Jesus into your life.
I take Vitamin D3/K2 and Magnesium supplements every day based upon your previous Video, Dr. B. I even ordered your brand. I've seen a huge difference in how i feel every day thanks to your suggestions.
So many reasons that might result. If it was done a long time ago, the prevailing food culture might be a factor, or perhaps it was men only etc. Prevailing food culture might include smoking and drinking, which people who would volunteer for a raw milk study would be unlikely to do. The Control of the suggested Study might be quite uncontrolled or include a few really bad habits that potentially cause illness.
I have no gallbladder and all keto does for me is I get weaker and weaker with each passing month. Had to go back to a controlled normal diet with not too much fat. Shame, because I do like keto and it used to work in the past.
I am so sorry to hear that I hope you find what keeps you in the best health possible! I think keto is great for alot of healing the body, literally like fasting but all longlived populations eat moderate ammounts of carbs and science is catching on to this whilst it is also surfacing that keto can be very dangerous for the heart. I know that there will be no babies without carbs because the female body wont bleed with to little carbs. I tried Keto and find it utterly fascination and a very cool, sort of, medicinal practise, but calling it the human diet, makes zero sense. How would one eat so much fat in nature? From what I hear our mitochondria needs plant foods to thrive.
I would download, print and LAMINATE that! I find myself going back and forth between Dr. Berg vids to regresh my memory on what to blend with what. PLEASE MAKE IT, Dr. Berg! Regards from Denmark
Yes. I think he discovers new things quite often. For example, he recently understood that magnesium glycinate gets absorbed so much better than magnesium citrate… so less in needed for the same effects.
I prefer the capsule, it's extremely easy to swallow. I've been taking Dr. Berg's brand of D3 and K2. Seems to be good stuff. I also have been taking 500mg mag glycinate from a brand called Naturebell. I also occasionally take Dr. Berg's vitamin B1 (allithiamine) complex.
Hi Dr.Berg, I have been doing keto and IF for over a year now. I do it for health (I have no weight or metabolic issues). I also take 10,000 it's daily of vitamin d3. When I had my recent blood work my total cholesterol was 276 (hdl 89 and lol 172). My lipoprotein frac. Nmr was excellent. My triglycerides 60. Then came my vitamin d level: on a scale of 30-100 I was a whopping 129! My doc said he has never seen a level so high. My calcium was 9.8 (in range). I have heard about lean mass hyperresponders. Have you seen people on high fat diets have high vitamin d?
How long have you been taking high dose D3? Do you also take K? I'm kinda in the same boat, high LDL (150+), high HDL (~90), low TG (~45). I think lean mass responder usually have much higher LDL which could be reduced by resistance training for the most part even if you're on keto. I was lean and didn't have any metabolic issue, just wanted to tried keto and IF to see if it ll increase my athletic performance. I ended up losing weight/muscle mass and messed up my metabolic rate. I got back on my previous diet - high carb, low protein and high fat, and things revert back to normal. Long story short, perhaps keto isn't for everyone. As for Vit D, i only supplement Vit D in the winter and early spring to keep it above 50.
Great content as usual Dr. Berg. I thank God for the day I came across you on UA-cam. Since then I take every video and advise of yours seriously. You are a jewel to whoever want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Berg truly has a gift for simplifying health and wellness. I couldn’t agree more-his insights are life-changing for anyone serious about living a healthier lifestyle. Grateful for the knowledge he shares with all of us!
Let’s keep things in perspective. This guy isn’t aging well for having what’s considered to some as good health advice. I’m not talking about this video in particular, I’m referring to all of his videos. I am subscribed, because I’m open minded to a lot of perspectives.
@@naughtyrocks2425 Test have been made with 250 000 IU daily for 3 months with no consequences ever. So zero test is needed at 10K, far far from there. And 10K is on the low side. 25K is optimal.
Monitor your level in the blood and remember to take magnesium and K2. Nobody tells us that every micronutrient needs to be in balance. They don’t work alone. Good luck
I’ve been taking daily 50,000 IU of D3 for the past decade or so. My blood level is usually around 110-120 ng/mL. I get tested twice a year. And I can tell you one thing: I haven’t been sick for the past decade. Not even the cold or as little as a runny nose or a cough. Nothing. Of course I also take all the cofactors, 600 mg magnesium glycinate, 1,000 mcg of K2 (all-trans MK-7) and 20 mg of zinc bisglycinate. My calcium score (CAC) is 0.
So many recommended supplements. I think way too many. Walking in the sunshine and eating a good diet high in protein & greens does it for me. Feeling healthy with loads of energy at 74.
I agree lifestyle and diet are the best things we can do to be healthy. Depending on where we live and the time of year we can't always get enough Vit D from the sun, and the older we get our skin loses some of its ability to convert the sun rays to Vit D.
I don't know about the US but in many countries including mine, kids used to take one spoon of cod liver oil everyday. It somehow vanished after my parent's generation though. Everything else was in abundance in food. Modern food, the typical one, is lacking in vitamins ( and taste ) etc so we unfortunately often have to compensate, which easely lead to unbalance. That's a great video, probably the most important one on this topic, because there is nothing more frustrating than thinking we're doing the right thing while just making it worse. Balance and knowledge, as always.
Vit K2 can cause the blood to clot, too. I took Vit D3/K2 and got a bilateral pulmonary embolism. Maybe K2 is not the only reason, but in case, you have a tendency to develop blood clots (and you are not yet aware if it... I was not at that time....), K2 can be contraproductive.... I think it would be important to mention that. Best wishes!
@assainscreed1234 I was told that by the doctors who treated the pulmonary embolism. When you take bloodthinners, the older ones in particular, you should i.e. be careful with eating vegetables with K2. My doctor told me, as I seem to have a tendency for developing blood clots, that I shall be careful with K2. If you take the newer versions of blood thinners, K2 is not such a problem, because with eating them as vegetables it is not so easy to take in too much K2. But, when you take it as a supplement (i.e. to help your body use D3) the risk of overdosing is higher. I don't have "proof", because I am neither a doctor nor a scientist, but the reason for my PE is not known, and I took D3/K2 at that time. I didn't take a 2-1 supplement, but 2 extra products. So maybe I took to much K2? The doctors said, this might have increased the risk. I just wanted to mention it, because getting a PE is no fun.... Take care! 👍
I’ve taken D and K separately and then I’ve taken them in a combination supplement together and it’s easier and more beneficial taking a supplement that has D and K together. I take magnesium as well.
The part at 1:12 about magnesium and its connection to vitamin D is such a great reminder! 🌱 I never realized how important it is to balance these nutrients. Thanks for the practical tips, especially the starch test-so helpful! 🙌
Depends on the individual as well. I don’t have any deficiencies but I take 10k vit d3 with 100mg k2, 50mg of zinc and 500mg of magnesium. Now, this is my maintenance dosages, if you have deficiencies you might need to up your dosages, by how much, I can’t tell, there are numerous factors, do your research and test some things on yourself. Not 1 doctor told me to take more than 2k d3 units daily, not 1 doctor told me to take more than 250mg magnesium. Ps. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a person that eats as healthy as possible, does 20k steps a day, workouts 7/7 days a week, I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t do drugs, I’m overall a healthy person.
It's great to hear that you've found something that works well for you! Staying consistent with K2 and magnesium alongside seems like a thoughtful approach. Just make sure to keep listening to your body and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Wishing you continued health and well-being!
@@lisayerace6117 Good question, I have spent much time trying to find information on the matter, but nothing substantial. What I have found is a correlation between kidney stones and high fat diets (ie fat from meat, dairy, and bad trans fats)?
Out of all the books and advice I’ve come across, Banned Spartan Rituals just hits differently. The ancient secrets in there are worth reading for anyone serious about their health.
Dr. Eric, you are doing an incredible job! May God bless you abundantly. I follow your channel regularly, and it’s truly informative and impactful, helping the community stay healthy and informed. I’m writing to you from Kashmir, India, and I wanted to request a detailed video on the rising cases of high TSH levels, which has become a global concern. It would be amazing if you could explain how to manage and bring TSH levels back to normal, along with practical remedies and lifestyle changes that can make a difference. Thank you for your valuable efforts!
In 'sun deprived' UK, you NEED this vitamin. We don't all live in Florida or California. Last Autumn in London, there was literally no sunshine for three solid weeks. Sorry De Berg, but I'm ignoring your advice in this one. I'll keep taking Vitamin D, thank you.
Even more so here in Finland. We barely see the sun at all for a couple of months in the winter. It would be incredibly stupid to stop taking vitamin D.
I am sick of this. Eat apples, don't eat apple. Drink milk, don't drink milk. Eat meat, don't eat milk. Take vitamine D, don't take vitamine D. It is tiring.
I was taking 10,000 per day. I developed large kidney stones, two episodes 8 months apart. The 24 hour urine analysis had high levels in several areas which were caused by Vit D supplements. I quit Vit D
Kidney stone may be formed due to many reasons apart from Vitamin D excess. What is the nature of stone I.e., Oxalate, Urate or Phosphate? What are the Parathyroid hormone ,Calcium and Uric Acid levels ?
Check you K2 because kidney stones are made of calcium. You may have to increase you K2. D is so important for heart health; bone health and immunity. The D added to foods has a very low absorbent rate. I developed heart problems because I was lacking D, K2, magnesium, potassium, and iron deficiency.
yes; I've talked to people with family that have lost kidneys with 10,000. I have blood tests (3 this year) that monitor vitamin a, magnesium, and vitamin D - and 3500-5000 IU per day is optimal. I take K2 Mk4, Mk7 - DHA fish oil. Also, I've done research and have found vitamin D 10,000 IU to be risky and dangerous; there are people on reddit that mention permanent issues.
What's with the sudden change (reduction) in dosage advice for things like Vitamin D and magnesium? It sure is weird that they would say 10,000 or more IU's, then suddenly reduce the recommended amount to 600 - 800 IU.
Perhaps that is why more and more people suffer from deficiencies of magnesium, zinc, etc., because of low quality of processed food nowadays. Those elements are requieed for vit D and for calcium blocker.
What a brilliant video. So glad I clicked on it. PS= For Vitamins K1 and K2 I recommend Japanese natto. I don't particularly love it but I have a few condiments I add a very small drizzle of then mix in to seriously enhance and alter the flavour. Try Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing. A fantastic natural way to get vitamin K. Eat with steamed fish, rice, non pasteurized Sauerkraut or home made kimchi, miso soup and some crunchy dark greens and pickled veg. Such a great breakfast or lunch.
@@Vincetroid Thats for constipation. It's used to clear out the bowls before hemorrhoid surgery. Don't take that unless you like being stuck on the toilet.
Hard to know which brand of vitamins to buy as many claim to be naturally sourced or have high potency, but then use fillers. Unless you grow your own food it's hard to know which is fresh. Organic claims on food are always being called into question. We just have to do the best we can.
How did you feel before? I'm asking for my mom because she's in bed a lot from the parathyroid. Also do you take those 3 together and morning mid or night
I hope you get labs occasionally. When my level hit 125, I was not feeling well at all. I used high dose like you to aid in recovery after a severe cervical spine injury. I did recover from that well. Always appreciate Dr Berg!
Bless this doctor...he wants to help people and he is doing out of his own time... HOWEVER my opinion just eat healthy, limit or cut completely (if you can, and don't feel guilty if can't) alcohol and smoking, be positive in your own way, and especially be active even if that means blinking, talking, taking two reps... Listen to your doctor... Cause we all have one life, we ain't going live forever however let's not suffer.

You might check and see if your daughter was prescribed one of these antibiotics before her injury. It can take upwards to a month or longer for symptoms to appear after taking it.
It's almost as if modern-day doctors are almost useless.
I love how you always share the books you are reading with your audience. They are books Big Pharma wishes would disappear. So thank you sir!
It's called advertisement.
@ they aren’t his books, they are usually unknown and he wants to get the word out smarty pants
Kat do you by any chance have the titles of the other books. I want to write them all down and buy it slowly
On the contrary. Big pharma are really happy your stuffing all these man made unnaturally ingested vitamins into your body. you pee most of it out, your body wants it from good food, the way it's been used to getting it for aeons.
@@Proudlyme no I don’t but that’s a great idea though.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been "diluted". Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or "forgotten". You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.
Really glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support!
Thank you for sharing this! It's so true that much of the valuable nutritional knowledge from the past has been overlooked or suppressed. I appreciate how Dr. Berg consistently brings clarity and uncovers these truths for us. His insights into the changing RDAs and the power of nutritional therapies are invaluable. Blessings to all who continue seeking and sharing this vital information!
More like suppressed. Because pharmas need sick people for profits
My father vit d3 is 15 on blood tests and he is bedridden so what i do?@@Drberg
does it mean that i need to take magnesium too if i'm going to take vit D, K? been taking collagen for hair, but hair is still falling out in bulk
I love how a vitamin D video turns into a video telling you to take huge amounts of every single vitamin in existence.
I'm getting all confused. I think I will stick to a good natural multi vit and leave it at that because this is overwhelming and expensive. My kitchen counter looks like I'm a vitiman junkie. I love this information but it's overwhelming and frankly there is just too much to remember of what how and when to take!! I mean really...our ancestors didn't take all this stuff and yet here we are........I'm done with this overwhelm of information.
Magnesium Glycinate: Recommended for its high absorption, with doses potentially exceeding 800 mg to relieve cramps. Some individuals may require significantly higher amounts (up to 2400 mg) depending on needs.
Zinc: Best obtained from food sources like red meat and shellfish. For supplementation, it’s crucial to ensure it's part of a trace mineral blend to avoid creating a copper deficiency over time.
Vitamin K2: For those taking high doses of vitamin D3 (e.g., 10,000 IU), a ratio of 100 mcg of K2 per 10,000 IU of D3 is suggested. The preferred form is MK-7, which can be found in grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, beef, and eggs.
Vitamin A: Best sourced from animal-based foods such as egg yolks and liver, with cod liver oil being particularly recommended for its balance of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene from vegetables is noted as an ineffective source for vitamin A.
Helpful. Thank you
Wearing a copper bracelet solves that issue.
@@exk6 fascinating! Do you have any specific recommendations or just any bracelet?

Oh puleeze! Hes got about 12 million dollars from doing this! Google and see! You people worship anyone!
Thank you for answering my question regarding vitamin D3 and possible toxicity that a well known bio chemist regularly warns about on facebook. I’m so thankful that you clarified this!
You are very welcome! I'm glad that you found the information helpful!
He made other great videos on vitamin d “toxicity” that helped me greatly.
I appreciate you very much. It’s much easier for me to absorb the information when you write it on the whiteboard and the dosages together so I can screenshot it and make sure I’m getting exactly what you’re saying.

Would you please consider making an informational video on how you research medical studies and how you read them as well as how you are researching the ingredients of something you may or may not consume? THIS would be really valuable information for EVERYONE. ❤
Thank you for the fantastic suggestion! An informational video on how to research medical studies, interpret them, and evaluate ingredients in products sounds incredibly valuable-I’ll definitely consider creating this to help others make informed choices for their health!
Ye. Would love to know where he gets his information.
He made at least one videos on this.
@@lilybond6485he also made videos on his sources.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi Happy New Year! Could you please give us the title so that we may source the video you’re talking about? I’ve only seen videos where he explains his findings and gives sources, but not the underlying methodology to find and interpret that information. I’m still a beginner but I’d really like to learn what it means to do quality research like how I’ve seen Dr Berg and Dr Saladino do so I’d really appreciate it.
Interesting that Dr. Campbell is discussing this very subject...
I love his down to earth explanations. Very informative and I am better off for it.
Glad you liked my presentation. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Dr, you're maybe the only doc I trust.
Most welcome!
Eat healthy, exercise and walk a mile a day, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 65th birthday lately. 😊😊🤷
🎉
65 ? Your just a lad, I've eaten none of those things and am way older than yourself and fitter than many kids I know. Good fresh food , both meat, fish and veg. No industrial food (supermarket meals or seed oils) Low sugar intake, (that includes especially bread). Add to that regular exercise and sunshine and you'll stand a good chance of a long healthy life. It's the ancient formula, we don't need so called "super foods" they are just today's fad. Most people if they live healthily don't need extra vitamins.
I also eat fermented foods every day. My diet consists pretty much like yours, I'm in good health, knock on wood
Eat apple a day
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 Your dedication to healthy living is truly inspiring-such a well-rounded routine with nutrient-rich foods, daily exercise, and mindful habits. It’s proof that small, consistent choices lead to a vibrant and long life. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years ahead!
I take 50k a day right now (winter). It's not a dose i just came up with. It's the minimum of what i found i need to keep my mood out of the tank during this time of year. I just needed the courage to go past the RDA bc it did nothing, just nothing. I do have the genes that make Vitamin D harder to uptake. I would have never thought to look for that if it hadnt been for these videos. So grateful, thank you! You also, helped me with my gastritis and sibo!
50,000 iu equals 1.25 mg. It doesn't sound like a lot when its in milligrams does it? For such an important vitamin/hormone, maybe thats why those in charge decided to measure D3 in international units?
Ur taking the k2 aswell?
How you cured Sibo
Checked your levels?
@@ccaselli7 yes and Zinc and mg.
Learn to eat natto. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores usually in the frozen section. I suggest 1/4 teaspoon a day until you get used to the taste and slimy texture. You’ll eventually come to love it and your body will crave it.
Heard of...i take nattokinase...i assume its the active compound in natto?
I take the natto capsules.
Hmm .....
I like natto, it kind of tastes like coffee to me.
Sounds very interesting. Can you Tell me, why I should eat natto please? What does it have to do with Vitamin D?
Thanks for finally making a video putting this dosage into context! Vitamin K2 is crucial when taking vitamin D because if you dont the vitamin D calcifies the arteries, but the vitamin K ensures that it sends it into bones and teeth where it is needed! Emphasis should be placed on this.Zinc glycinate is the better zinc!
fake news. It depends. Medicine says there are people who need D with K and some only D. You need to do special test to know it. I don't remember what is called this test but there is test for that.
I'm thankful that I found your channel and love the way you present information.
I started losing weight from 18/ 6 in my midsection and even ankle legs I stopped eating at 1pm to 6 this morning. I made some organic coffee slowly eating 2 eggs with Avocado and going walking, take my vitamins❤

Thank you Dr Berg am still learning so much from you.
Read the Bible. It's better. It names all the foods you should eat too. Berg seems to agree with most: eggs, butter, fat of lambs, etc. Cows, bulls, goats etc etc, veges, fruits, fresh olive oil (not store bought they put stuff in it that is harmful).
Honey, nuts etc
I honestly love your channel. Please don’t click bait
I agree. Especially with opposing information.
I think he did it not to get censorship.
The shouty title seems a must have theese days. The content is good as always. Thank you!
The use of all caps in video titles is juvenile, obnoxious, and insults the viewers' intelligence.
“Maybe it worked too well, and they had to take it out” 😂😂
Love Dr Eric Berg 1st thing in the morning, best way to start the day with knowledge on self care ❤
But this is not knowledge about yourself
You need to start the day with the Word of God and finish it that way. The Holy Bible will prosper you eternally, his suggestions can only prosper temporarily and what if something happens and you die? Your healthy body and your soul will go to hell.
Thats not Gods will for you ( or any of us,) thats why He sent Jesus.
Ask Jesus into your life.
Thank you for the clarity you bring.
Thanks for your wonderful comment!
Love the help. You educate us, the public on nutrition. Thank you.
That's great to hear, thank you!
I take Vitamin D3/K2 and Magnesium supplements every day based upon your previous Video, Dr. B. I even ordered your brand. I've seen a huge difference in how i feel every day thanks to your suggestions.
It’s all in your head
Did you know the British Medical Research Council did a 10-year study on 5000 men, 45-- 59 & concluded raw milk reduced heart disease 10 fold???
proof?
@awfullawton4470 look up the medical studies
So many reasons that might result.
If it was done a long time ago, the prevailing food culture might be a factor, or perhaps it was men only etc. Prevailing food culture might include smoking and drinking, which people who would volunteer for a raw milk study would be unlikely to do.
The Control of the suggested Study might be quite uncontrolled or include a few really bad habits that potentially cause illness.
Now they're trying to scare people from it. I will make a point to use it.
Hence why they demonize it
You can make ketones by doing keto diet, eating healthy fats, fasting, Keep your carbs low
Amen
Then you look at Freelee the banana girl, insane amounts of carbs, stomach flat as a pancake, reversed all her health conditions. So go figure 😜🐒
Yet moderate carbs seem to be a staple for longevity actaully
I have no gallbladder and all keto does for me is I get weaker and weaker with each passing month. Had to go back to a controlled normal diet with not too much fat. Shame, because I do like keto and it used to work in the past.
I am so sorry to hear that I hope you find what keeps you in the best health possible! I think keto is great for alot of healing the body, literally like fasting but all longlived populations eat moderate ammounts of carbs and science is catching on to this whilst it is also surfacing that keto can be very dangerous for the heart. I know that there will be no babies without carbs because the female body wont bleed with to little carbs. I tried Keto and find it utterly fascination and a very cool, sort of, medicinal practise, but calling it the human diet, makes zero sense. How would one eat so much fat in nature? From what I hear our mitochondria needs plant foods to thrive.
A supplement dependency table would be a nice summary/reference. Maybe with proportions in the cell.
I would download, print and LAMINATE that! I find myself going back and forth between Dr. Berg vids to regresh my memory on what to blend with what.
PLEASE MAKE IT, Dr. Berg!
Regards from Denmark
Yes. I think he discovers new things quite often. For example, he recently understood that magnesium glycinate gets absorbed so much better than magnesium citrate… so less in needed for the same effects.
thank you, Dr. Berg! This is so very helpful
You're very welcome! I was hoping you could keep spreading the word and share my content.
Thanks a lot! I am a bodybuilder, and thanks to you, I can achieve better results in my fitness journey. I'm glad I found this channel!
I've never taken Vitamin D3 as a capsule. I always take it as a softgel and make sure that they use EV olive oil instead of a seed oil.
what brand is that? thnaks
@@PolPotsPieHole Not OP, but I use doctors best brand of D3. It uses only EVOO and no other seed oils.
I prefer the capsule, it's extremely easy to swallow. I've been taking Dr. Berg's brand of D3 and K2. Seems to be good stuff. I also have been taking 500mg mag glycinate from a brand called Naturebell. I also occasionally take Dr. Berg's vitamin B1 (allithiamine) complex.
@@PolPotsPieHole I use the Now brand.
I use Vitamin Shoppe D gelcaps. I I don't like capsules either.
Hi Dr.Berg, I have been doing keto and IF for over a year now. I do it for health (I have no weight or metabolic issues). I also take 10,000 it's daily of vitamin d3. When I had my recent blood work my total cholesterol was 276 (hdl 89 and lol 172). My lipoprotein frac. Nmr was excellent. My triglycerides 60. Then came my vitamin d level: on a scale of 30-100 I was a whopping 129! My doc said he has never seen a level so high. My calcium was 9.8 (in range). I have heard about lean mass hyperresponders. Have you seen people on high fat diets have high vitamin d?
How long have you been taking high dose D3? Do you also take K? I'm kinda in the same boat, high LDL (150+), high HDL (~90), low TG (~45). I think lean mass responder usually have much higher LDL which could be reduced by resistance training for the most part even if you're on keto. I was lean and didn't have any metabolic issue, just wanted to tried keto and IF to see if it ll increase my athletic performance. I ended up losing weight/muscle mass and messed up my metabolic rate. I got back on my previous diet - high carb, low protein and high fat, and things revert back to normal. Long story short, perhaps keto isn't for everyone. As for Vit D, i only supplement Vit D in the winter and early spring to keep it above 50.
1 year with 10,000 is vitamin D. I have added some carbs back into my diet and will have levels rechecked. Thank you for your input.
What about magnesium? Magnesium activates vit D.
Great content as usual Dr. Berg. I thank God for the day I came across you on UA-cam. Since then I take every video and advise of yours seriously. You are a jewel to whoever want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

good health advice.
I’m not talking about this video in particular,
I’m referring to all of his videos.
I am subscribed, because I’m open minded to a lot of perspectives.
What a weird thing to add that is not even true. ???
I’m taking 10k a day because you said so doc for the first week
Its ok to take high dose as long as you must monitor trough lab test every 3-6 months depends on how high you take.
@@naughtyrocks2425 Test have been made with 250 000 IU daily for 3 months with no consequences ever. So zero test is needed at 10K, far far from there. And 10K is on the low side. 25K is optimal.
Of magnesium?
Monitor your level in the blood and remember to take magnesium and K2. Nobody tells us that every micronutrient needs to be in balance. They don’t work alone. Good luck
I’ve been taking daily 50,000 IU of D3 for the past decade or so. My blood level is usually around 110-120 ng/mL. I get tested twice a year. And I can tell you one thing: I haven’t been sick for the past decade. Not even the cold or as little as a runny nose or a cough. Nothing. Of course I also take all the cofactors, 600 mg magnesium glycinate, 1,000 mcg of K2 (all-trans MK-7) and 20 mg of zinc bisglycinate. My calcium score (CAC) is 0.
thank you, Dr. Berg and Company.
So many recommended supplements. I think way too many. Walking in the sunshine and eating a good diet high in protein & greens does it for me. Feeling healthy with loads of energy at 74.
I agree lifestyle and diet are the best things we can do to be healthy. Depending on where we live and the time of year we can't always get enough Vit D from the sun, and the older we get our skin loses some of its ability to convert the sun rays to Vit D.
I guess that's why we rely on Multis.
Is it optimal.. maybe not.
Is it better than hoping our food isn't deficient (even to mild degree).. Yes?
Taking Vit D and a few other supplements is doable but the amount/variety Dr B suggests I think is tooooo much - mind boggling.
This video is for people who have deficiency issues.
@@okonspruceShould have Vitamin D levels checked and you’ll know how much to take
I don't know about the US but in many countries including mine, kids used to take one spoon of cod liver oil everyday.
It somehow vanished after my parent's generation though. Everything else was in abundance in food. Modern food, the typical one, is lacking in vitamins ( and taste ) etc so we unfortunately often have to compensate, which easely lead to unbalance. That's a great video, probably the most important one on this topic, because there is nothing more frustrating than thinking we're doing the right thing while just making it worse. Balance and knowledge, as always.
From Australia. 73
I do remember some time ago parents advocating cod liver oil
Don’t hear about it anymore
Wait ... he was the one who told me the benefits and how important it is in your diet. Now it's dangerous
Wishing you all the best of health for the New Year!!
So sweet of you! You too. Remain blessed!
Vit K2 can cause the blood to clot, too.
I took Vit D3/K2 and got a bilateral pulmonary embolism. Maybe K2 is not the only reason, but in case, you have a tendency to develop blood clots (and you are not yet aware if it... I was not at that time....), K2 can be contraproductive....
I think it would be important to mention that.
Best wishes!
Where is your proof?
@assainscreed1234 I was told that by the doctors who treated the pulmonary embolism. When you take bloodthinners, the older ones in particular, you should i.e. be careful with eating vegetables with K2. My doctor told me, as I seem to have a tendency for developing blood clots, that I shall be careful with K2.
If you take the newer versions of blood thinners, K2 is not such a problem, because with eating them as vegetables it is not so easy to take in too much K2. But, when you take it as a supplement (i.e. to help your body use D3) the risk of overdosing is higher.
I don't have "proof", because I am neither a doctor nor a scientist, but the reason for my PE is not known, and I took D3/K2 at that time. I didn't take a 2-1 supplement, but 2 extra products. So maybe I took to much K2? The doctors said, this might have increased the risk.
I just wanted to mention it, because getting a PE is no fun....
Take care! 👍
@@assainscreed1234 This is a well known fact. The truth is that most supplements can be dangerous
Sometimes I see K2 and D3 together, in a single supplement.
I take one of them D and K and 5 just vitamin D
Dr Berg’s vitamin D supplement is the GOAT.
You don’t say
I’ve taken D and K separately and then I’ve taken them in a combination supplement together and it’s easier and more beneficial taking a supplement that has D and K together. I take magnesium as well.
Thanks a very good overview.
The part at 1:12 about magnesium and its connection to vitamin D is such a great reminder! 🌱 I never realized how important it is to balance these nutrients. Thanks for the practical tips, especially the starch test-so helpful! 🙌
What are the ratios of zinc, k2, mag, vit e, thanks
Depends on the individual as well. I don’t have any deficiencies but I take 10k vit d3 with 100mg k2, 50mg of zinc and 500mg of magnesium. Now, this is my maintenance dosages, if you have deficiencies you might need to up your dosages, by how much, I can’t tell, there are numerous factors, do your research and test some things on yourself. Not 1 doctor told me to take more than 2k d3 units daily, not 1 doctor told me to take more than 250mg magnesium. Ps. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a person that eats as healthy as possible, does 20k steps a day, workouts 7/7 days a week, I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t do drugs, I’m overall a healthy person.
Taking this has helped me so much. I don't want to stop. K2 and mag alongside. Hopefully nothing bad happens.
It's great to hear that you've found something that works well for you! Staying consistent with K2 and magnesium alongside seems like a thoughtful approach. Just make sure to keep listening to your body and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Wishing you continued health and well-being!
Vitamin D and kidney stones? Any correlation?
@@lisayerace6117
Good question, I have spent much time trying to find information on the matter, but nothing substantial.
What I have found is a correlation between kidney stones and high fat diets (ie fat from meat, dairy, and bad trans fats)?

Shame about all the animals suffering and dying for this
@@flowerpower7288 My diet could harm 100 times more animals than it already does, and I still wouldn’t care. The way I feel is worth it
In 'sun deprived' UK, you NEED this vitamin. We don't all live in Florida or California. Last Autumn in London, there was literally no sunshine for three solid weeks.
Sorry De Berg, but I'm ignoring your advice in this one. I'll keep taking Vitamin D, thank you.
Even more so here in Finland. We barely see the sun at all for a couple of months in the winter. It would be incredibly stupid to stop taking vitamin D.

VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO! Thank you Dr. Berg ❤
I was taking 10,000 per day. I developed large kidney stones, two episodes 8 months apart. The 24 hour urine analysis had high levels in several areas which were caused by Vit D supplements. I quit Vit D
Kidney stone may be formed due to many reasons apart from Vitamin D excess. What is the nature of stone I.e., Oxalate, Urate or Phosphate? What are the Parathyroid hormone ,Calcium and Uric Acid levels ?
Check you K2 because kidney stones are made of calcium. You may have to increase you K2. D is so important for heart health; bone health and immunity. The D added to foods has a very low absorbent rate. I developed heart problems because I was lacking D, K2, magnesium, potassium, and iron deficiency.
yes; I've talked to people with family that have lost kidneys with 10,000. I have blood tests (3 this year) that monitor vitamin a, magnesium, and vitamin D - and 3500-5000 IU per day is optimal. I take K2 Mk4, Mk7 - DHA fish oil. Also, I've done research and have found vitamin D 10,000 IU to be risky and dangerous; there are people on reddit that mention permanent issues.
Did you take k2 with it?
Why did you take 10000? I take 1000 daily and maybe 2000 when it's cloudy for days or 3000 when I have a cold of some sort
Which Vitamin D Is Good For The Prostate ?

The celiac community really needs you to get a GF label on your supplements ❤️
What's with the sudden change (reduction) in dosage advice for things like Vitamin D and magnesium? It sure is weird that they would say 10,000 or more IU's, then suddenly reduce the recommended amount to 600 - 800 IU.
vit D above RDI causes calcification of soft tissue
Perhaps that is why more and more people suffer from deficiencies of magnesium, zinc, etc., because of low quality of processed food nowadays. Those elements are requieed for vit D and for calcium blocker.
What a brilliant video. So glad I clicked on it. PS= For Vitamins K1 and K2 I recommend Japanese natto. I don't particularly love it but I have a few condiments I add a very small drizzle of then mix in to seriously enhance and alter the flavour. Try Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing. A fantastic natural way to get vitamin K. Eat with steamed fish, rice, non pasteurized Sauerkraut or home made kimchi, miso soup and some crunchy dark greens and pickled veg. Such a great breakfast or lunch.
great sharing. thanks doctor 1:10

This man is a genius
Hard to know which brand of vitamins to buy as many claim to be naturally sourced or have high potency, but then use fillers. Unless you grow your own food it's hard to know which is fresh. Organic claims on food are always being called into question. We just have to do the best we can.
Dr Berg’s D3&K2 is best, based on my experiments.
I'm taking up to 30k per day with k2 and Mg instead of just 5k like I used to and I feel way much better
No cold for me in 7 years, when I was used to catch 4 colds per winter on average.
How did you feel before? I'm asking for my mom because she's in bed a lot from the parathyroid. Also do you take those 3 together and morning mid or night
I hope you get labs occasionally. When my level hit 125, I was not feeling well at all. I used high dose like you to aid in recovery after a severe cervical spine injury. I did recover from that well.
Always appreciate Dr Berg!
is it synthetic or food sourced
