Doctor: "consult with your doctor before taking supplements"
Me: doctors have no clue about vitamins and nutrition, they are not educated.
My doctor told me they cannot do blood tests or check vitamin levels unless its absolutely necessary. So.. guess we're supposed to guess
@@Locito845 I went to a functional medicine doctor and paid out of pocket to get my blood work done. Also, considering the high cost, I went out of the country to get updates on blood work and ultrasounds, all done for less than the cost of a copayment and no doctor permission or referrals of any kind. It's called medical tourism.
I feel fortunate if that's the norm. My doctor said NO to every supplement I inquired about , ESPECIALLY in high doses but one, Vitamin D 3. I ignored his advice on omega fish oil and B 12. The fish oil wreaked havod on blood sugar levels and caused bed ridden fatigue for over a month. The B12 caused anxiety close to psychotic level for 10 days after the last dose. Most supplements are not only a waste of time and money but outright dangerous.(@ high doses, which is heavily promoted)
You are 100% right, doctors know only "one size fits all" - all patients are their solid "CASH COW."
@@Locito845 wow, unbelievable. I'd go to a functional medicine doctor even if its out of pocket.
I really appreciate your detailed discussion of the dosage of these supplements. Again, all doctors and ANCPs should watch this video. I assume nutritionists have this knowledge.l like how you split the video for just dosage and then the detailed data for medical professionals. You are the best teacher.
A wolf produces vitamin D in large amounts when it suffers a wound.When the wound heals the production drops off.Basic example of the importance of vitamin D. Cheers from sunny Alberta!
What an amazing factoid! Thank you. I think this shows why veterinarians receive such better medical training and education than allopathic practitioners. Medical information is much too bifurcated and incomplete when only looking at human beings.
I can find no data to back up that claim.
Garret Graham The wolf lies in the sun.Then they exude some oil,cholesterol,the sun converts it to vitamin D and the wolf consumes it by grooming.Vitamin C also increases to a high amount which is produced internally. An ill dog always seeks out the sun to lie under. Merry Christmas and cheers from sunny Alberta!
That was a very interesting factoid. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Where do you get this from? Can you share youre source? Because it makes no sense at all to me. All I know vitamin D forms in animal skin or hair and in mushrooms when exposed to sun(uv)light. It is not something an animal can produce whenever it needs it.
27:20 doses of each
Thanks
These dosages seem to be for light weights. Also you can fix your Vitamin D level within 10 to 30 days just by taking more in a short period of time.
Cheers!
Thanks

I don’t recommend taking calcium with the vitamin d unless your diet is low in calcium. It can cause high calcium levels in the blood and that’s not good for you at all. I know this cos I have had higher calcium and it’s painful and not fun at all.
Your videos are very helpful though, helping many. Thank you.
Average calcium dietary intake per day is 1210 mg per day for males, 947 mg per day for females age 20-39. It does drop a bit as we age, but taking 1000 mg per day is unnecessary. Men probably never need any, and older women could meet the DV by taking 200 mg / day.
I cannot take calcium. And my mom quit taking her calcium she can now sleep all night, has energy through out the day, and her memory is improving. To me calcium supplements do more harm than good.
@@guygrotke7476 Only children need more calcium. For adults normal diet includes necessary amount of calcium. Calcium in blood promotes parasites, blood vessel diseases and cancer.
Correct. No need for it
@@strawberryhun agreed that’s absolutely what they do. Too high of calcium can cause insomnia, pain, depression etc, brain fog and memory issues etc
Dr Coimbra's protocol is amazing. Well known to those of us interested in vit d
Doctor it was so wide explanation,ive never found such at internet! Thank You So Much for Knowledge!
Dear Dr. Been, please allow me to make some remarks on the Coimbra Protocol(CP) and on the use of vitamin D to fight SARS Covid-19. Those are two different protocols and should not be mixed. The CP treats patients with autoimmune diseases, who generally have a polymorphism leading to a genetic resistance to vitamin D. Because those patients are genetically resistant, they are treated with much higher than normal doses. The doses are adjusted to each patient, considering parameters such as blood calcium, PTH levels and others. Those patients are also required to limit the ingestion of calcium-rich foods and to drink plenty of water, to prevent calcium-related problems. Now, when it comes to the SARS Covid-19, the supplementation of vitamin D addresses the widespread problem of vitamin D deficiency. The doses used to may seem very high, but are in line with the amount of vitamin D naturally produced by the skin, which is up to 20,000UI a day(depending on the sunlight spectrum, type of skin, age, etc.).
Thanks for that detail.
Thanks
I am in the North East. Pretty cold right now.I supplement with !5,000 Iu's a day with 100mcgs for each 5,000I take.Its in one pill. My daughter who has been in a flare with her UC ever since she got the J&J. I have her on 50,000 IU's of D3 and K2 .They say in high doses it's like prednisone without the side effects when you have inflammation in the body.. The daily recommended doses are a joke!!!
We appreciate the editor detail thank you
@@rdiemidio65 Hi. D3 doesn't work well if a D3-deficient individual starts taking it to fight an infection that already happened. The liver might take up to 2 weeks to convert D3 into 25-OH-D3 and, after that time, the disease could have worsened a lot. D3 works wonderfully if taken, in right doses and for enough time, BEFORE the infection. If a person is already sick, a doctor can prescribe 25-OH-D3 (the semi-activated form of D3) or, even better, 1,25-OH2-D3, which is the active form of vitamin D3. This could well explain why some studied found D3 to be ineffective.
My sisters, are taking 6000 IU/day and tested at 50ng/ml. I take 5600 IU/day and tested at 70ng/ml. My doctor considers this to be optimum for the duration of the pandemic, and during flu season.
I take about 8000 iu per day, and my blood level stays at 70 ng/ml. (I'm a big guy.) I keep it there for my MS, and it seems to be working as well as the $70,000 per year MS med I was taking. For me, this is for the rest of my life.
Read on the importance of taking magnesium when taking Vitamin D.
@@yournamehere6939 I take magnesium.
Magnesium was/is the main supplement that keeps my body going. I tried getting my Vitamin D level up from 19 ng/ml, my doc recommended 1000 IU for a month, nothing happened. 2000 IUs for another month, Vit D went up to 21, 4000 IU for a month, Vit D at 22. Doc getting upset saying I’m not taking it consistently. 5000 IU! I’m like 🤷🏽♀️ why isn’t this working? Did my own research. Found out you need Magnesium to help convert Vit D. Started myself on magnesium, Vit D and 1000 IU Vit D, my level shot up to 57 ng/ml. Doc says Good you’re taking the 5000 IU. Nope!!
I did my own research. Have my own MS, Fibromyalgia, Early Parkinson’s, Chronic Fatigue controlled without medications. 40 years going to the doctors and none of them Ever suggested Supplements. 🤬
😇 thank God for UA-cam and comments from people, helped save my life.
@@yournamehere6939 Many sources state that it can take up to 6 months for vitamin D supplements to take effect. This largely depends on body fat. Body fat absorbs vitamin D first, then it enters the blood after the body fat is saturated.
Thanks Dr Been we have been using these Vitamins for long but dosage and mechanism became clear thanks to you
Hello… thank you for this excellent lecture… There is one part that seems to be confusing to me.. if we’re taking K2, along with D3, in order to avoid calcium in the blood and other soft tissues, why would we then take a calcium supplement in addition to the D3 and K2? Thanks
Taking calcium is like bringing sand to the beach
If existence of calcium deficiency is present
@@sudhanursinghome9880 Thank you!
Fm
Bb By ,,.mgm...g.g,h )
If you start taking a combination of Vitamin D & K2 supplements, the calcium is directed to the bones where it needs to be, so the calcium level should be corrected, it shouldn't be in the blood or soft tissues, mainly in the bones. I don't think a calcium supplement is needed.
I’ve been following the COVID and vitamin D research for months, this is the most practical presentation I’ve yet to see. Thank you!
SO glad you included info on Vitamin K2 as I have abided by that regimen for a couple of years after appropriate research
At least in the USA, most persons are found to be magnesium deficient, magnesium is the antagonist of calcium. I would take magnesium if there is added vitamin D3 to the diet?
Who can afford wild salmon . Some times I buy a can of salmon to make patties. Like grass fed beef and eggs are very high priced locally!
“If you think health is expensive, try sickness. “
Frequently you can find frozen wild salmon at a reasonable price - I have gotten some on sale at Jewel for $4 a lb, look at walmart as well in the frozen section
@@debrabunger9302 Wild salmon at $16.98 a pound just isn’t in my budget. Our two local stores offer only thin tail pieces. I have been very ill, that is one reason I am on a limited budget. At 77 yrs, SS provides barely enough to live on. Working all my life, as a single mom of three we paid our bills and my kids are college educated. I can be okay with canned wild salmon.
@@annebieker1248 If it is wild, you are okay. But Atlantic salmon, which is the same thing as farmed salmon, is worse for you than not eating it at all. Best wishes.
@@dianegordon4612 I live on a small Island. Two grocery stores with very expensive fresh fish anything. Have to take a ferry ($25.) to find a Walmart. Never heard of Jewel. Thank you for the suggestions. I am okay with canned wild salmon. I would fish myself but at 77 and in ill health I cannot do that any more.
Such an excellent analysis of how the body converts vitamin D the doses of vitamin D, vitamin K2 and calcium needed.
You are too much! Thank you! I keep telling people about you!
Thank you so much :-)
I despise IU as a unit. I really wish they'd stop using it and just list mcg/mg/g and whatnot.
Agreed
The one nice thing about iu for Vitamin D3 is that the average blood level for a certain long-term dose is 10 ng/ml for 1000 iu. So it makes it very easy to tell what dose you want: 4000 iu for 40 ng/ml 6000 iu for 60 ng/ml
@keirfree senior yea but there is no "standard". 1 IU of HGH is different mg than 1IU of D3 different than 1IU of α-tocopherol and so forth.
Maybe when we swapped from grains, drams, tablespoons and whatever else to metric it had a purpose. It's beyond stupid at this point.
@@TebTengri Not related but this reminds me of the situation with musical notations in Norway. Because someone at some point read B as an H, we now have CDEFGAHC instead of CDEFGAHC. As with many things, "is it easy to fix?" "Yes". "Are we going to do it?". "Hell no"
The supplement industry _has_ transitioned to mcg/mg. There will be a period of overlapped usage though since IU is ingrained in everyone's brain. Same with Vitamin A and E. By now everything should be labeled with mcg/mg with IU sometimes in parentheses. Check out the Amazon listings. www.fda.gov/food/cfsan-constituent-updates/fda-provides-guidance-industry-convert-units-measure-certain-nutrients-nutrition-and-supplement
The different dosages of MK-4 and MK-7 are due to half-life. MK-4 is about 1.5 hours and MK-7 1.5 days. Also, a osteoporosis styudy on Japanese women used three 15mg doses a day to achieve protection.
Dr. Cícero Coimbra PhD MD deserves a Nobel Prize!!!☀️☀️☀️🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Dr for all of your kind and knowledgeable information! I started taking Vit D 2 months ago and already have more energy!
It’s crazy how we take these vitamins, but we don’t know why.I heard somewhere to take vitamin K, but had no concept of the needed proportion to D!!!
Just wanted to note that there are two forms of Calcium (Citrate and Carbonate) I think the calcium that you are telling about that caused kidney stone is carbonate. Citrate is known to be easily absorbed.
Thank you so much for all the great information and all the work you do for our health.
K2 MK7 at 100 mcg daily gave me terrible palpitations. I was about to consult my doctor but happened to Google it and found there are a lot of other people who experience the same side effect. I think its a supplement we need to take care with!
There are ways to get it in food that seem safer to me.
Take mk 4 then?
I’ve gathered that K2 is a supplement that at your levels should NOT be taken daily. Mine is divided up between the K1 and the 2 forms of K2 in the amount of 2100 IU’s. I take it 1 time a week, since my diet provides a portion of my requirement.
I take K2 mk7 at 200 mg daily and it has no effect on me so I think it's the person; I also take 45, 000 K2 MK4 daily both are taken with vitamin D3 also and I have no side effects. I am trying to put the elasticity and deplete any blockage that is in my arteries leading to my kidneys which is causing me to have high blood pressure. Wish me luck
Taking D and K2 you also need to take magnesium. Palpitations can be the result of D using up your available magnesium leaving you with a deficiency.
The best researchers in the field are suggesting we keep 25OH plasma levels above 40ng. The toxicity levels are in the 200ng range. So, it seems there is a wide range. I would like to see any study that measures maximum epigenetic function levels of 25OH. I have heard levels of 70ng. But have not seen the study.
It is important to note that the D3 "Hammer" was used to treat cases of Influenza A. This was used by a Canadian doctor in Toronto in his nursing home patients who were experiencing influenza A outbreaks (does not work for type B influenza). His thesis was that it worked well to abort Infleunza A outbreaks and his patients recovered in 48-72 hours, was cheap and did not have the side effects of the commonly used anti-viral called Tamiflu.
Amazing!
Hi. D3 doesn't work well if a D3-deficient individual starts taking it to fight an infection that already happened. The liver might take up to 2 weeks to convert D3 into 25-OH-D3 and, after that time, the disease could have worsened a lot. D3 works wonderfully if taken, in right doses and for enough time, BEFORE the infection. If a person is already sick, a doctor can prescribe 25-OH-D3 (the semi-activated form of D3) or, even better, 1,25-OH2-D3, which is the active form of vitamin D3. This could well explain why some studied found D3 to be ineffective.
@@wladsonsantos5786 They used it to treat and in very high doses - and it worked. 50,000iua

I took a moderate dose (200 mcg) of K2 mk7 for a period of months....an unexpected side effect was that it SUCKED THE CALCIUM OUT OF MY SKIN. The skin on the back of my hands became like tissue paper and would tear with the slightest impact...after stopping Vit K my skin recovered after several months.
any updates?
Dr Mobeen says 100 mcg so you are taking 2x the rec dose, assuming not on blood thinners or K antagonist.
Why u not took d3??
It sounds like you were low on calcium to begin with. Calcium and D3 is very important if you're going to supplement with K2.
Does a D3 blood test reveals the Calcitriol level, or just the D3 level? If it reveals only the D3 level, then how to test for adequate Calcitriol level? Thanks a lot.
Just revisiting this talk. I have sourced a 125 mcg Vit D3 (5000IU) / Vitamin K2 180 mcg capsule that seems to be reliable. I'll dose with this for the time being.
Looks/sounds balanced!
Dr. Been, you're the best.
Indian physicians do not write k2 with vitamin D, I can not understand why
There are receptors in the sinuses for Vitamin D. Do you think using drops in the sinuses would be a better delivery system for obese people or will the body still store most of it in fat cells. Also, does a keto or other diet helping the body to burn fat over sugar help to use vitamin D more efficiently?
I stayed in the sun today for an hour and 30 minutes in my swim suit. To increase my levels of quercetin I ate a quater of purple onion. Raw onion.
I wish to strengthen my immune system. I will cuddle my cat tonight.
I love this video because it talks about getting back to the things we use to do as a species and about how much sun you need and what boast numbers you get from sunbathing. It's a DR from NZ and Dr Campbell from UK
ua-cam.com/video/JVg8opQkQXc/v-deo.html
Green tea allows zinc into the cells too. Every bit of knowledge helps
Your cat is the only living thing that will go near you after eating raw onion. Why not go for more palatable things, like cilantro, red lettuce, kale (not much better than onions), asperagus, apples, etc.?
If you compare the amount of quercetin in food, to the amount MATH+ recommends, you would find you need to eat more of those foods than you could possibly eat. I think EGCG from green tea would be a better bet. About 6 cups a day of strong Japanese matcha would do it. Or you can just buy either on Amazon or in a health food store.
@EMc2 F Being close to my cat relaxes me. Life is too stressful these days. I sleep better when I am more relaxed. I think I have better quality sleep.
Please also research on the importance of taking magnesium when taking Vitamin D.
absolutely, take magnesium additional calcium is often not needed. If you are in doubt drink a glass of milk or eat a bit chease for calcium.

@@sidmichael1158 You have to start off on a small amount, like 100mg once a day and gradually work your dosage up until you start feeling better. If you have too much magnesium in your system you will get diarrhea or very loose bowel movements, if you get to this point, cut back a little or take the magnesium every other day. Magnesium comes in several different forms, Magnesium Oxide is the one that causes most people to get diarrhea, I have chronic constipation no matter how much water I drink, I also have dry eyes, very little saliva, dry lips, and dry nasal passages and dry ears 😉 I believe this is all related somehow but doctors haven’t told me how. I take the Megamagnesium from Central Market for my body and the magnesium oxide for my bowel movements. If I forget to take my vitamins on any day, I at least take the magnesium oxide so I won’t be constipated the next day, yes, it’s that fast. Hope this helps, do your own research though because only you know your body best.

I have been studying nutritional research since 2002 and want to remind everybody that even though this is an excellent explanation that is very technical doctors who are normal MD's have usually one course in nutrition. It would depend on their age. By my extensive research and this pertains to me because I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a couple of years ago just starting that you must take your calcium supplement with the K2 with the vitamin d3 you can't get enough in your diet that's for sure even if you're eating whole foods. You must must take your calcium with magnesium in a 2:1 ratio normally with the vitamin d3 with the K2 in an acidic environment which means when you get up in the morning drink filtered water not tap water with a dash of lemon and a dash of apple cider vinegar with mother wait 15 minutes and then take the calcium magnesium etc complex mentioned here. Now I just switched from calcium tablets because they're made out of rocks so I went to a plant-based calcium magnesium formula because that's more absorbable. If you go through the different doctor recommended UA-cam videos and I mean doctors not just people telling you what they think you want to get out of the calcium that is coming from rocks because that's not going to do your body any good. What the doctor is saying about the danger of taking too much the wrong way has been explained by doctors like Dr Burke who's a chiropractor in again the people who have given the most insight correctly aside from this doctor are those who have an MD or a do after their name. I am very sincere about telling you about my own research in nutritional medicine. So to simplify when you get up in the morning take your filtered water such as from a zero filter water picture which you can buy at Walmart mix a dash of apple cider vinegar with mother with a dash of lemon and drink the calcium with the magnesium most of the time the ratio is two to one two more calcium to magnesium or equal amounts the K2 as recommended here with the d3 as recommended here. Remember that's with synthetic vitamins it is much better to go with whole food vitamins or herbal vitamins with these supplements then what you're going to get at CVS or at Kroger's. Those are synthetic. If you have a serious osteoporosis issue which I personally am dealing with because my family history I had to switch to whole foods everything and to the supplements mentioned here but again it took me a long time to find out about the calcium magnesium being drunk or taking in with the acidic environment. If you don't do this it doesn't work. And that's why some MDS who are holistic I shall find on UA-cam are telling you not to take calcium tablets at all. There is no way that anybody can get enough of their nutritional requirements just by food alone and that's even just eating whole foods you'd be eating way too much. This is an excellent video very technical which I am going to keep.
Water water. Plant based everything. Thx.
Thanks for this info. - I am just starting to research & decided to read comments before listening to this Video. I can tell that you have done your homework...

I think you meant to say Dr. Berg and NOT Burke!
I believe Vit D is fat soluable, so needs to be taken with fat, not sure about the acidic environment. That's news to me, so I will make some changes.
Thanks for the video. I'm left a little confused by one point though.
If D3 increases the levels of calcium absorbtion, and K2 is taken so not to risk an excess build up of calcium (in blood cells etc). Why would you want to add extra calcium via supplements?
I was wondering about this too. I've been avoiding calcium as I take D3 and K2 supplements
Thanks… That was my exact question!

I been given another possible reason modern people have lower levels of vitamin D. I've been told this by a number of sources and have no reason to believe it's not true. Along with lower levels of direct exposure to the sun, people no longer use lard for cooking. In the past pigs were raised outside in the sun. Pigs generally had very high levels of vitamin D. People don't usually cook with lard nowadays. Even if they do pigs are now raised inside factory farms and are every bit as deficient as the human population.
That makes sense. Pigs store Vitamin D in fat just like humans do.
How interesting.
Vitamin D is heat stable as well, unlike Vit. C. Bacon fat is a kind of lard. Save it after frying, use in gravy.
Wow, great information, thanks for sharing.
Well thank you for your Information. People now a days are eating very poor diets
I'm not sure what it is that has helped me, possibly what you're talking about, but I have noticed in the last few months that I no longer have the nerve pain in my toes that I used to have. Or the odd twinge where it felt like somebody just pierced my skin with a needle.
Of course I've added other things along with what you discuss in this video, but I'm thinking it might be the main topic of the video.
My daily pain levels have also gone down from like a 3-5 level to a 0-3 for the first time in 25 years. Weird to think that I might have this bug we've been dealing with for the last two years to thank for it.
I didn´t get it. What is the daily recommended dosage? 600, 5000 oder 8800?
8800 but he's saying you need to take that with Vitamin K2.
Thank you Dr Mobeen. Can I ask you a question. If ,like me , you are taking 2000iu vit D and 1 vit k2 tablet (90 microgram) per day in the winter and eating plenty of leave green vegetables (basically a vegan diet) do you actually need supplemented Ca? Rob UK.
Thank you so much for your clarity in explaining these issues. Helps me greatly in understanding what's best in individual situations. 🤗
Vitamin K2-MK7 is derived from Japanese food NATO. Certain population in Japan consume it daily and they may be consuming more than 1000 IU and I understand there is no toxicity at high level.
The human body can produce 10,000 iu/hr of vitamin D when exposed to appropriate amounts of sunlight. We don't overdose on Vit D because enzymes in the body neutralise excess vitamin D.
D3 3000 iu /day (for the last 3 years) Plasma D(oh25) level 184 nmol/l last test 4 weeks ago. K2-M7 90 mg /day
You are the best at making information understandable and your drawings are priceless.
Thank you for sharing your academic knowledge and medical wisdom. 😇
First time on this site; vr interesting info. As a vegan and recovering alcoholic, sober 7 yrs ditto non processed plant based food, I reversed fatty liver and insulin resistance among many other things. I take B12, algae based Omega 3 and 2000 units vit D. Get iodine from Nori sheets and other sea vegetables. A brazil nut a day covers selenium. My mind is sharp, I get lots of exercise walking my dog so my sleep is always adequate my digestion is perfect. In my mid-60s my doctor would like me to take a high amount of calcium and as she has not been trained in the area of the microbiome and nutrient availability I do not follow her advice; 300 mg calcium citrate seems to be the right spot with the amount of calcium I absorb from the food I eat. This is anecdotal of course and this video does address maladies like Parkinson's etc. but I find the levels of supplementation extremely high. The other problem I have with supplementing is the lack of regulation by the FDA so you are essentially betting on the amount you are actually getting. Not a site I will follow, but appreciate the information disseminated here; was excellent.
👍🏼
Thank you for this video- great info. This video was very well explained, and I love the visual representation used!
I found this quote in Dr Coimbra's webpage:"In the treatment of a patient, where proven prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic methods do not exist or have been ineffective, the physician, with informed consent from the patient, must be free to use unproven or new prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic measures, if in the physician’s judgement it offers hope of saving life, reestablishing health or alleviating suffering."
Declaration of Helsinki
Dr Fauci should have followed this!
Dr. Coimbra is leading a revolution in Brazil. I am from Brazil and have been following closely his work since 2014. At this point in time, a few small cities have adopted a preventive protocol, under the guidance of Dr. Coimbra. In those cities, the local administration is supplying vitamin D3 in realistic, physiological doses to all people under their municipality. The statistics are very telling.
According to the lecture, does baby aspirin generally work OK with Vitamin K? Not asking medical advice. Just clarifying definition of "K antagonist" in this presentation. Thanks a million.
Aspirin is not a vitamin K antagonist, nor are diuretics as someone asked in another question earlier. Examples of vitamin K antagonists can be found here:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K_antagonist
Pharmaceutical examples of 4-hydroxycoumarin pharmaceuticals include:
acenocoumarol
dicoumarol
ethyl biscoumacetate
phenprocoumon
warfarin
Great video! Covers the subject very well. Thanks!
I take 20000IU vitamin D3 and one or two packs of crushed Natto daily ( one pack is about 50g and contains about 460μg of VK) and it’s a great source of nattokinase as well.
I will increase. I thought 6k was high
you shouldnt take over 10k UI without checking your blood levels etc@@phylis3917
There is an English translation of Dr Coimbra’s work in Brazil by Tiago Henriques. I bought mine from Amazon. Titled HOW NOT TO DIE FROM HIGH-DOSE VITAMIN D THERAPY. An excellent read!
I bought that book a couple years ago and probably need to reread it.
Dr. Syed thank you so much for your professional & educational & very informative information.
Would you be kind enough to advice accordingly.
I am 61 in excellent health ,no meds.
With 50,000 ICU that I take once a month is 100 mcg of MK-7 (K2) , enough??
AND 1000mg of Calcium sufficient.
Thx very much in advance.
At 2:45 the statement that 8800 IU is the right does is completely contradicted by the referenced study! The study shows a daily intake of 600 IU is accurate and an error in a prior publication caused the misleading value of 8800 IU.
Please correct me if I misunderstood the reference, and if I am correct please correct the presentation.
could you please explain bradykinin storms, and the new research claiming that this is causing the problem instead of cytokine storms.
take your vitamin d and don't get the stage of bradykinin storm,. Research bromelain and bradykinin - theres no money in that so there won't be clinical study
I've been taking D3 (50,000 units) 2-3X per week along with K2 (600mcg every 3 days) since Feb. 2020. I started this with a Vit D level of 18 which was done by blood test in Jan. 2020. I am 56 y\o with no history of sickness or health issues since my teens. As of last week (12\3\2020), I had my blood tested and my Vit D level is @ 89 WITH NO SIGNS OF TOXICITY (my Calcium level is 9.6 mg\dl) OR ANY ADVERSE AFFECTS. I FEEL AWESOME ALL OF THE TIME! Super energy all the time with NO fatigue. My doc is not wholly on board since MOST people do not actively look to supplement this vitamin (really a hormone) to these levels, but the most recent studies PROVE AS A MATTER OF UNDISPUTED FACT, that by raising your levels to at least 50 ng\ml, your chances of catching, being hospitalized and or even dying from Covid (SARS, MERS etc.) are DRASTICALLY reduced to the point that it is just plain stupid for doctors not to be telling the world about this! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF 2020 THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR! PLEASE, ... look into this. I TOLD YOU SO.........................................................................................
This is great info thanks so much 😊 God bless you
Vitamin D is better absorbed by taking together with some form of fat like butter, a teaspoon of coconut oil or olive oil.
i'm on it ... ! vascular plaques has got to go .. especially after living on french fries for 40 years!
Please please look up a ketogenic diet
Also. Vascular plaque is a VITAMIN C deficiency. Lack of vitamin c creates arterial inflexibly creating micro fractures in the arteries. Your body patches these micro fractures with CHOLESTEROL! It's trying to save your life not hurt you!
Please research what i said. I don't ask you to agree but i have studied a long time. I just want to point you in the right direction
Thank you Drbeen. Very informative. Gave me much insight. ❤

Very few doctors seem to be either knowledgeable or willing to talk about supplements. I assume it's because they can't write a prescription. There is a Lot of math to be done, like you were saying...height, weight or other factors in order to get the correct dosages. My Vit D has been low for several years...and I need help ! I found out I was low by myself from a chiropractor's office, after many doctors ran thousands of dollars of expensive and some invasive tests, but Never, Ever checked my Vit D. The primary doctor I've seen more recently has given me a prescription for D2 a couple of times but it doesn't last. And she has Never said anything about K2... Ever. A few years prior, I was told by a Dr. in integrative medicine that I have thick blood. I found and contacted her from out of town. I sent my labs and she ordered some saliva and urine testing, but because of the distance, she couldn't help me any further. And mentioning that to a cardiologist (not by an appointment) said I should have a proteins S and P checked. Going into a doctor's office and asking them to run tests...they won't do that. I'm concerned about taking Vit K. A lot of doctors don't like you to read, because you ask questions, and that takes their allotted minutes away from other patients. I have read a Lot. And try as I might, it is so difficult to put it together. I've lost muscle and bone which has affected my mobility. I feel and get around like someone 15 years older than what I am. That's the honest truth. Sorry for the length of this, but difficult to put it in a nutshell. Where do I find someone to help me ???
While you wait to find an expert to listen to you, there’s enough information here to allow you to choose supplements from the supermarket for the interim. Also make changes to your diet too.
Same here. My cardiologist would not ok me to take mk7. Very frustrating!
I think there is a mineral that increases excretion of calcium, I don't remember which one, isn't it boron?
Thanks for reminding me that I've lost my Boron somewhere. Don't know if it helps excretion of calcium but would not be surprised.
@@rustybolts8953 It doesn't seem to be boron. Boron reduces calcium excretion:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/
"With boron supplementation, the women’s daily urinary excretion of calcium was reduced by 44%."
I don't remember which mineral increases excretion.
So the very last point basically is saying that a D3 supplement dose of 1000 IU a day is absorbed by the body much more efficiently than 15000-20000 IU a day?
So 1000IU supplement much better than no supplementation and its diminishing returns the more we take per day
Problem with Vitamin K2mk7 tablete form is that they can degrade very quickly and you end up with a small percentage. The 'wet' capsule form maintain levels longer. This has been tested. OR 100Gram of Natto contains 750mcg vitamin K2mk7 this has been researched analysed... as in Okinawa and probably explains their longevity. K2Mk7 has been shown in the research lab to protect against the degradation of elastin in artery walls.
Thanks for valuable information.
When I was on Warfarin my coag nurse told me that eating green leafies was okay as long as I let her know what kind and the frequency. She never said anything about it causing blood clots. Furthermore, when I was switched to Eloquis, I was told that diet was no longer a consideration. If taking K2 supplements was an issue, I believe they would have warned me about that when I switched to Eloquis.
Hello dr mobeen for all your work and information. I have just started watching you video. Again thank you. I have one question. You mentioned changing the dose regarding bmi with vit D. Does vitK and calcium dosage change too?
I thought the danger of calcium creating stones in the kidney while taking large doses of vitamin D was to be avoided for example I’ve heard Dr say don’t eat cheese blah blah blah so now I’m confused as to why we should take calcium supplements see what I mean?
No mention of magnesium? Major miss in this lecture. With vitamin D3 supplementation, magnesium is just as essential as K2. I take all 3 supplements daily, and only supplement with a minimal amount of calcium (200 mg). - 61 yr old male
How much do you take magnesium and what brand?
@@elenalepotova6623 I take 150 mg of magnesium citrate every morning with breakfast. The current brand I am using is Natural Factors, probably because it was one that was on sale at the time.
@@KamfaKing Thank you for your answer!
How much D3 & K2 do you take? Please and thank you ☺️
@@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 5,000 D3, 100 mcg K2, 200 mg magnesium
Your information is always helpful, Dr. Been.
As always, thank you.
Once again an excellent lecture doctor. Thank you
I take 5000 IU (D3) and 100 mc (K2 MK7) and a baby aspirin. Bad idea??
You cannot accurately use "rules of thumb" to figure out proper vitamin D dosing because it varies greatly between individuals. I know one man that takes 20,000 iu/day and is still deficient (less than 20 ng/ml). The only way to be sure is to have your blood tested.
Is he perhaps taking ergocalciferol?
@@TebTengri I'm pretty sure he's taking D3. I tried to persuade him to try BioTech's D3 which has been modified to be water soluble as well as the usual fat soluble.
@@IggyDalrymple I usually take mine with a decaf coffee with 15mL heavy cream and then 1 teaspoon Nordic Naturals fish oil and 5 drops of Thorne K2 mk-4(5 milligrams).
Actually just took it. I get my post workout shake at 1000-1100 depending and then try for a real food meal with fat and protein around noon but not too big to help vitamin absorption
Has he tried getting his doc to Rx calcifediol? I can buy it OTC here but in the US it's Rx only.
@@TebTengri Last couple of years I've taken 10,000 iu D3 with 1,500 mcg K2 from SuperDosing but in past year I've lost 40 lbs and probably should cut back to 5,000 iu. My blood level was in 70s and may now be over 100 now. I belong to GrassrootsHealth and they will test me in the spring. GrassrootsHealth is dedicated to doing research on vitamin D and other nutrients. They published the very first paper on vitamin D blood level vs Covid-19 outcome. Their finding was that hospitalized Covid patients with less than 20 ng/ml were 26 times more likely to experience "critically severe" outcome as did Covid patients with more than 30 ng/ml.
Alwaxys thank you for ALL you share Drbeen. So informative n helpful. Blessings to you. 💕
Over obsessing about health is a bad idea. Take 15 minutes of sunshine daily or 2000 IUs in winter. Above all keep your weight down with low carb diet. Exercise 20 mins per day. No smoking and limited drinking. Bob’s your uncle, you’ll be fine.
I gave my vit D lecture to lady friend in church. She "obsessed" and took vit D. She tried to persuade her husband to "obsess" and take vit D but he ignored her. They both got Covid. He died and she had mild case.
Hope that works for you, Mr Dykes. Not everyone has the same needs. Do not be so ignorant as to foist your mind-made projection onto others.
please explain, if the corect dosage of vitamind is 8800iu, then the correct k2 doseage is 800mcg? this is what dr kate suggests? min 4:16
Another great session, Happy Off, the national weather service says we might start getting happy air by Sunday nite!
Thank you. Looking forward to the happy air 🙏😀
Great content here. I do suggest a definite consult for some not understanding. I'm stressing the importance to understand.
Thanks You ...
Sir.

I think it's for every 10000 IU of vit d we should take 100 mcg of k2... Not 1000.
Please clarify.
His Vitamin K2 recommended levels are actually very, very low compared to experts in the field.
That’s why I got confused when he was on that part . Thank you for clarifying the point .
yes, take arsenic for yr longevity, Doc!!
Also, I have heard that you need half the amount of magnesium ratio to calcium for metabolism. ?
The amount of magnesium is automatically inhibited by calcium. They are competitive. Dietary calcium is usually enough, but supplementary magnesium should be pure magnesium chloride, without calcium. A 50/50 supplement is a waste of money. Check out

Thank you Dr.. New to your videos..❤
Welcome.
Just what I wanted to know, I’ve been taking 35000 IU a day, so I guess I’m ok for toxicity, but I’m going to tune it back a bit. I was taking it for covid prevention.
Tune it back. I got mild toxicity from it at around 5500 a day for 3 and a half months.
You could be on 5 times that if with VitK: MK7. Toxicity wld not occur
@@Innominat9 really, that little? What were the effects?
@@LKaramazov Just got the blood work back.
Indeed it was vitamin D intoxication. I noticed it fast though so the effects jsut started showing up.
Apparently, we don't need that much at all to cover for our potential lack of daylight exposure. Especially since I am young, healthy and workout a lot.
The side effects were bouts of constipation, diarrhea, dizziness and night sweats.
800 UI is MORE, and I do mean MORE than ENOUGH if you have a balanced diet.
Too high? Can take for little while only that much. 🙏🏽
Good info but way too details. Dr you should have summarized it at the end clearly for everyone. I have no clue after watching it what’s the best dose
15:50, you say "fat cells will act like a container or a depot to store this vitamin D...Then what happens is the liver on a daily basis is going to pull the required amount of vitamin D....So, if somebody has a lot of fat cells, then they will store more vitamin D in them, so their general requirement increases". The previous statement doesn't make sense to me. It's hard to think of an analogy to make my point, but if I were to increase the size of my gas tank in my car, would there be a general increase for fuel burned by my engine? No. My mileage would potentially go down slightly because of the extra weight the fuel would add to the car, but having a larger storage capacity doesn't significantly change my miles-per-gallon. Are you implying the extra energy used to carry around the extra fat cells will burn-up TWO to THEE times more vitamin D 16:39 ?
Good question. Fat cells themselves metabolize the vitamin D. Hence, the more fat cells means more vitamin D use in them other than storage. /oversimplification
The liver has a hard time pulling vitamin D from fat if the concentration of vitamin D in the fat is low.
In the temperate and sub arctic areas of the world vitamin D is stored in the fat during the summer and fall historically over the winter and spring one would use up the fat thus getting some vitamin D. This would be essential for women to have healthy babies. In the modern world with the supplementation of year round food the vitamin stays in the fat and not available in the blood.
Vitamin D does have a half life in the fat. If it is only stored it will degrade over time and be unavailable. Therefore if one is maintaining a steady weight over the winter one must either use supplements or use a UVB lamp (or go to the tropics for holidays).
In practice one must either get their Vitamin D level tested or take sufficient supplementation. 5000IU costs 5 cents: no brainer.
Dr. , What do think about a supplement that has vitamin D3 5,000 IU, the same supplement also contains vitamin K2 (MK-7)
180 mcg.
Taken with womens multivitamin that contains D3 1,000 IU &
K1, K2 With a COMBINATION of 30 mcg of vitamin K.
So when I take my multi with the separate supplement of vitamin D3 & K2 ,
Im taking a total of 6,000 IU Of D3 and 210 mcg vitamin K.
Is that safe?
I just started doing this daily as well is it ok? My level was a 9 when tested.
I'm no MD but I'd recommend getting your bloodworks done and consulting with your GP before starting to self-medicate with these levels.
Hell, it might even tell you stuff you didn't even know about. Way back I got bloodworks done "just in case", to prove everything was ok... It wasn't...
precisely that you are no physician and you are not making any kind of scientific argument whereas this physician and his published research which he cites does.
@@juuskanda I'm sorry, what? Consulting your GP and having your bloodworks done is bad advice how? This random act for no particular reason saved/prolonged my life.
Also a touch of Boron. D2 IS available OTC in the USA.
I would’ve liked to see Nutritionists included in this discussion 🙏🏼
Hi there
Do I need to take the calcium supplement if I am taking only Vitamin D and K2 MK7?
