but you cant get too much vitamin D from sunlight? If you are white and stay out in the sun all day? Im not going out in the sun, but theoretically.
An absolute must, if Vitamin D3 take K2-MK7! No one has good amounts of K2. It must be supplemented, or eat Fresh Natto Daily which has Nattokinase which eats blood clots and K2-MK7. Slows osteoporosis and takes calcium out of the blood. Don't supplement with calcium.
@@toroddlnning6806 Sunlight automatically destroys any excess Vitamin D.
Thank you for adding note about K2!
400,600 is way too low i take over 5000 for the last 20 years age 75
I am a breast cancer survivor and have been taking 10,000 IU for 15 years now without any toxicity.
You need to take magnesium too as vitamin D depletes the body of magnesium. I take 10,000 IU too, along with K2 and magnesium.
You need to take K2 with vitamin D
It takes the calcium out of the blood and puts it
In the bones where it belongs
10,000 iU’s is not an overdose issue
Especially if you are dealing with any kind of chronic health issue
Dr. Berg has a video on this
Some people take 50,000 iU’s for certain illnesses
But it is not recommended for a long period of time ( years )
With all supplements it’s a good idea to cycle
Easiest way is take the weekends off
Gives the body a break
So 5 days on
2 days off.
@@RestorationWatch How much of both do you take? I started takin 10,000 IU some days ago, ordered some MK7 also, but i dont take magnesium dont know how much is ok and not.
@@Bieggaoaivi A general rule of thumb is to take at least 100mg of magnesium per 1,000 IU of vitamin D3. Also. while Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work together directly, the dosages of these two vitamins are independent of each other, which means that no matter how much vitamin D3 you take, the optimal dosage in order to benefit from the full effect provided by vitamin K2 always remains the same - between 100 and 200 mcg per day.

I am 63 landscaper, hard work in hot Florida. A year ago thought I would have to find something else to do because I felt wore out tired with pain. Started taking 30 to 40k vit D3 daily for maybe a month. Since then I take 20,000 IU of vit D3 with 200 vit k mk7. Now I work longer days, feel stronger, less pain, no adverse side effects. I research and doctor myself, don’t trust the pharmaceutical/doctors. Also take 800 mg magnesium, benfotamine (B1) and potassium. I don’t get sick. These simple things are for me a blessing from my father in heaven for which I am thankful!
I work landscaping in New Jersey. About once a week, I soak my feet for 30 minutes in Magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts) in a bucket of hot water. I no longer have achy legs.
I also take that amount and feel better than I have in a couple years.
@@Themanwhocameback2 How much Epsom Salts do you put in the hot water?
I agree wholeheartedly. If we don't have the Spirit guiding us we will not have discernment and will most likely rely too much on doctors. That can be a deadly mistake, a road paved with poor health due to deficiencies and being too conservative with vitamins and supplements. The RDA on most vitamins is a joke and will never bring us optimal health if strictly adhered to. The RDA is deceiving and purposely so, to keep us symptomatic and seeking out doctors and medications. Fasting is also a really important health intervention that should be a central tenet of our health care routine. Doctors these days are woefully and dangerously ignorant and that too is purposeful for the benefit of companies who are eagerly awaiting your dependence on medications to treat symptoms that are easily healed with the right knowledge. If someone goes to their family doctor and is not the smartest person in the room, they are at risk for never experiencing optimal health.
check out B complex which helps in alot of other things. you are making a great life choice. God bless.
IMPORTANT: You should also be taking Vitamin K2 at the same time when you're taking 10,000 ius of D3. D3 can still cause some calcification in your arteries. K2 removes the calcium from your arteries and puts it back into your bones, where it belongs. You only need 100 mcg of K2. The MK-7 version of K2 is supposed to be more effective than the MK-4 version.
Also, you should be eating some food with fat in it, at the same time as taking D3, so your body can absorb it, like nuts, avocado, etc. Essentially, any fats will work, but try to stick with the healthy fats.
A good vit D3 supplement will be made with quality oil.. And still eat with food anyways.
This should be top comment, Its very important
carnivore is better, ruminant animals and it has natural k2 in it
@@chavbudgie4299not farmed fish!
@@yellowdayz1800 quality has little to do with the calcification taking just D3. K-2 (M-7 type) is pertinent.
My wife cured her Rheumatoid arthritis in six months taking 200,000iu’s of D3, vitamin K2 magnesium and moringa. Started in June of 2019 and by Dec her blood levels for rheumatoid arthritis were 4. Her levels were 186. Now she’s on a maintenance dose of 50,000iu a day.
Wow
That's great to hear and I'm not a bit surprised. The doses your wife took would probably cure many ailments.
How much magnesium does your wife take? I use high dose vitamin D3/K2 as well and I spray 1200mg of magnesium chloride on my skin each day. It seems that magnesium gets depleted rather quickly when taking high dose D3. I heard of a woman who was taking 50k D3 daily for years by recommendation of her Doc who neglected to tell her about the importance of magnesium. I was shocked that a Doc was even aware of the benefits of high doses but wasn't surprised he was clueless about magnesium. This poor lady was having horrible Charlie horses from this protocol that would literally leave bruises. Once I made her aware of the magnesium spray she was free of the bruises in days. I wish more clinicians cared about their patients enough to look outside the box of consensus medicine which has been a planned disaster.
@@jm1733 hi JM my wife takes 1330mg of magnesium glycinate from Piping rock. Comes in 665mg capsules. From my research with several natural Drs, they say the Glycinate is the most absorbable. Finding the benefits of extremely high dose vitamin D was a Godsend. My mother who’s 91 and very healthy, has been a nutrition advocate since she was a child from her mother. My mother told me about a book by Jeff Bowles called “The miraculous results of taking extremely high dose vitamin D3”.
What a great book. He’s a researcher so he says he knows lots of info that Drs never here about how to prevent and cure. My wife’s story is truly a miracle. We both believe God has put all the remedies for all the diseases on the earth in natural form. Best of health for this new year. 👍🏻
can u show me a picture of her blood levels
I was on 50,000 IU every other day, and was on this high dose for years! I finally had blood work that showed I'm no longer deficient, but here's the sad part, no one told me ( including a rheumatologist, neurologist, family doctor)! In researching on my own, I found out that you need to take K2/M7 along with taking D, or calcium won't go into your bones, and instead can go into your deep tissue, arteries, onto your bones, just like you are sharing! Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤
Exactly! Vitamin D3 needs to have vitamin K2 in order to direct the calcium into the bones. Unfortunately in recent years a study that was done looked at vitamin D on its own. Nutrients work synergistically with each other, not on their own. Some doctors, like this gentleman’s new doctor, are up on the latest research but conventional medicine in general are 17 years behind the science so unless a doctor keeps up with the latest science on their own the info they have could be close to two decades old.
@@luvurab You are so right, most doctors aren't researching and continuing to learn about things after they a as re out of med school. Especially, nutrition, alternatives to prescribing Rx's. The doctors doo ok my have enough time in between patients to even accurately diagnose most people, and it's not completely doctors fault, it's due to the way the system is set up, which is dictated by insurance companies only covering brief times with each patient, and the pharmacies regularly bringing new drug samples, and lastly, we send patients to a specialist for each body system or part, and doctors send reports, but it's all over the place, patients aren't getting what they need from them coming together and the patient is seen in parts instead of a whole person. We aren't going to change the system in time for those that need help now, so we need to find and work with the few doctors and our own research and I think there's a growing number of people, including doctors who are also seeing things need to change, and I'm encouraged to at least see we can't just rely on prescriptions and need to be our own advocate.
May I know what is M7?
Thank you
@@user-df5vn7sp1k it’s vitamin K2. There are a number of different types, but MK 7 is what you should take with vitamin D3
I was just about to comment that K2 must be taken with D3 : )
It’s basically criminal that health authorities have not updated Vitamin D recommendations. This is an excellent video. Get tested to makes sure of your dose. It’s very difficult to get enough vitamin D through sunshine alone.
On your last sentence - what are your sources ?
Sunlight only creates Vitamin D when the sun is at least 30 degrees above the horizon. So even during summer it’s availability is limited during those hours. During the rest of the year it is even more limited. Generating Vitamin D depends on the UVI at that moment, the suns angle, your age, weight, skin tone, etc. a lot of factors. It’s best to get tested regularly and supplement from there. Never assume your getting enough vitamin D from sunlight alone. There is a good app called dminder that takes all these factors into consideration and will will give you a good idea of how much vitamin D you’re generating. It’s a great app and no I am NOT it. Just a recommendation..
The reason the recommendations are so low, is that they need to guarantee that people get the amount from food. So if they were higher, they would need to start adding it into food products.
@@tommurphree5630 common sense is the source the arker you are the more difficult it is to absorb vitamin d through sunshine
if you dont believe it look it up
@@Nobody-Nowhere Very few unfortified foods provide Vitamin D.
My doctor told me last week that my Vitamin D levels were 96 which I was really pleased with as doctor said it was in normal range. On having access to my records, I realise that the UK measure the levels in nmol/l rather than ng/l. Therefore my level was 96nmol/l which in effect is only 38ng/ml.
I take 3000 IU of Vitamin D every day with K2. I am a dark skinned lady and am now thinking I need to increase my Vitamin D supplementation. It feels to me that doctors are happy with blood level readings that are adequate or sufficient. Shouldn't the aim be to reach optimal levels??
Wow, that's interesting to know! I'm in the UK too and had a general blood test about 5 weeks ago because I was anemic, but I also asked them to test for D levels as well, though I never received a detailed print out because my Iron levels were so low, that's all that was focused on and so I didn't bother with the rest.
But I did ask the anemia specialist if she knew what my D level was, while we were discussing my anemia and what needed to be done about it, and she told me it was 'good' at 65, which I was quite pleased about and surprised about too, because I hadn't been supplementing with any, and although I had been in the sun quite a bit, I didn't think it would have been enough to have got my levels that high so quickly, especially after winter! I think I'm going to definitely go and get the print out asap now to find out. I have been taking 5,000 ius for around 6 weeks, but have just upped it to 10,000 (With K2) because of a couple of issues I still have, but generally I do feel pretty well.....
Mine was 13
@@truthseeker1268 I think it's vital you know what unit of measurement they're using when giving you the figure of 65. So definitely get the printout.
@@user-cw8om2lr7v oh no! You can raise the number by vit D3K2.
Because of RA, I took 40,000 a day to stay off medication. I haven't had any meds for RA in 17 months. I've cut back by taking it every other day or 2 but I take k2 with my D3. Works for me.
I found this last year after years of suffering from depression. Vit D 10,000 IU everyday has an immense effect on my mood and my Vit D leveles are usually between 50 to 60. I wish I knew this earlier.
My age is 38 hai I have upper back pain and anxiety issue so I test today my vitamin d level is 20ng/mg
I started D3 for the first time in my life a month or so ago and it completely healed my intestinal lining (leaky gut) in very short order. I had tons of leaky gut symptoms and they all vanished.

Don’t worry about toxicity from D3 it’s extremely hard to get toxic from it. I have been taking high doses for many years and never got toxic. Actually high levels of D3 are crucial to fighting serious diseases of all kinds. I read 3 books about D3.

What books??? Please share!!
I started vitamin D3 and K2 , now am off BP medication and consistently maintaining stable BP levels
CAUTIONARY TALE: In 2013 (at age 49) I was in a hospital rehabbing a major back injury. They found my vitamin D level was in the toilet at 14 nmol/L and was put on 20,000 IU/day for a month. This brought my levels up to >30 but barely. I was put on a 5000 IU supplement per day and tested frequently to keep my levels between 50-100 nmol/L. This was done WITHOUT vitamin K supplements.
Flash forward 10 years…..Only in the last four years did I learn of the importance of vitamin K intake (naturally or via supplementation). I now have major arthritis in every main joint in my body! I’ve had a hip replacement, am soon to have one of two shoulder replacements, and have been told both knees will need replacements. I , and other health professionals, believe much of this was caused by inadequate vitamin K while supplementing with Vitamin D3. I am now a 59 y/o retired RN, but nutrition and vitamin interactions were only a minor footnote in my medical training. These things are more critical than you may think!
I'm sorry to hear that you have arthritis. Though, there are many potential causes for this and you can't reliably draw the conclusion that yours was due to Vitamin K deficiency.
The scary thing is, a lot of people take a bunch of vitamin C without knowing you have to take K2 with it. It can lead to calcium deposits in the arteries of the heart and calls all sorts of issues. K2 rout your calcium intake to your bones and it can also dissolve Calcium deposits in your arteries and heart. It’s very important. A lot of supplements for vitamin D3 now are coming with K2. Which makes perfect sense.
Sorry to hear this all happened to you. This should’ve been something doctors and scientists should’ve been telling people forever. As you would think they would have known. But maybe not.
I always tell people about vitamin k2 that’s take calcium or vitamin D
You can have now autoimune disease! I treat my autoimune Disease whit 300.000ui D3(Coimbra Protocol) day and 4mg Naltrexone (LDN)! Plus .... 5.000ui is NOTHING ... Even for put 25OH D3 levels up on blood! Prety sure than vitamin D even whithout K2 dont cause thath ! AUTOIMUNE DISEASE!
@@MakeLifeExtraordinarywhat’s a good ratio between k2 with d3 or vit c.
I was taking 7000 a day and it did very little for me. So I increased to 10,000 a day which raised my levels to 76. The toxic cutoff is above 100 so I'm not worried. My numbers fluctuate between 55 and 80. I believe this helped significantly during COVID.
Toxic cut off is 150
@@user-gf8pf5kn8k According to the labs in New York the maximum before toxicity is 100. Is it higher elsewhere?
I am in the health industry and i know how things operate.The reason why they tell the doctors to tell their patients to take 1000iu is because they know its not enough and that it will not do anything. So you have to take alot more this is proven. Its sad that people actually think that going to your doctor is the place to go when you are sick but nothing can be furthur from the truth
💯💯
Sadly I believe you. My Dr, whom I used to believe in, won't even test my D levels anymore. I'm known to be deficient, mainly because she's the one who tested me in the first place around 8-10 years ago and my level was 21, so she placed me on 5000 iu/day. Now she says that's outdated info and vitamin d isn't as beneficial as once thought, won't test my levels, and said not to take more than 1000 iu and I'll be fine with that. I'm angry, confused, and upset about this change. She knows I became very depressed and low energy last winter (we live in the PNW and I suffer with SAD every winter but this was extreme), also dealt with pretty intense pain from an old back injury for 5 months. She did little to help me (offered antidepressants which I won't take and counseling which I have mixed feelings about). I ignored her 1000 iu instructions and started taking 6000 iu/day of D3 with k2, then cod liver oil every other day in my protein shake after strength workouts, and going outside for walks in the early morning springtime sun. Depression and fatigue lifted within a couple of weeks after starting the 6000iu, which then gave me the energy to start working out again, my mental outlook improved drastically, back pain subsided, all after literally debilitating depression, fatigue, and pain from Oct-Apr. I wish I could see a Dr who wasn't beholden to the drug companies, tries to get to the root of health problems, and is willing to use natural and alternative remedies. It's a lot to try to navigate health problems by yourself (I also have Hashimoto's and some other health issues), it takes a lot of time and research, but I've done it for years and will obviously have to continue to do so because the mainstream medical system is useless, unless you become deathly ill and they can use their invasive treatments on you.
I had one Dr that via blood tests showed low Vit D levels. He gave me RX vit D. 50,000 iu. Now levels are good , and take 10,000 iu daily . I am fine, health, and battle common colds, flu's much better. Stronger bones as well, plus. Unfortunately , this Dr left my ins plan. I use my Nursing knowledge.
Facts.
This is the exact reasons doctors call what they do for a living, “a practice.”
I have been taking 10-15,000 units a day for over 10 years and have probably got 3-4 colds in that time. Before that, I had colds for 4-6 months of the year. My blood level now is 70. I now take 100 mg K2 mk 7 daily. When I caught the WooHan, it was like a mild flu. No Clot Shots, ever
I’m glad you didn’t take the clot shots. They sold us wolf tickets
Me and the gazillion others did. I died yesterday. The rest tomorrow.
I never take vitamin D and got the clot shot and covid was easy so good job spending every day taking pills when I just took a shot once

…IT IS MCG’s “micrograms”….
For 10,000 IU D3 ( international Units ) take 125 mcg “ micrograms” of vitamin k2 as menaquinone -7, menaquinone-4.
Please be very careful giving nutrition / medical advice. 🙏🏼
I was deficient under 30 and always getting sick. I took 3000IU a day and over 18mths it’s slowly increased to just over 100. I started noticing a difference around 50 but once I got to 90-100, that’s when I really noticed all the health benefits. Pretty much never get sick now when compared to before.
I just started on D3 a few days ago and really notice the difference right away even taking just one 2,000 IU / day. My diet and lifestyle are very consistent so it's easy for me to pay attention to how I feel when one thing changes. I knew I was deficient due to working nights, but never tested my levels. I swear the D3 is also having an immediately and noticeably positive effect on inflammatory bowel disease.
I’m at 142 ng/ml and haven’t been sick in years.
90-100?
Thaaanks 😊
Happy for you
Do you mean 100nmol/L or ng/ml? Units are very important and they vary depending on where you live
What brand of Vitamin D3 have you been taking?
I have taken 30,000 a day for many years, but you must take vitamin K2 and the proper amount of magnesium.
Hi Paul! How much K2 do you take with that dose?
I had my Vitamin D level checked 1 month ago and I was at 22ng/ml(low). After finding out my low level I started taking 10,000 IU of D3 EVERYDAY and getting some natural sunshine. I just got my blood tested on Feb 1st and now I am up to 39ng/ml! I feel way better. No side effects from taking 10,000 IU/daily. Once I hit 60ng/ml I will lower it to 6,000 IU to see if I can sustain the 60ng/ml. I weigh 210lb

I recently went to a new doctor who appeared to be closing in on maybe 70. I thought I was getting a younger one. She told me to stop taking 3000 of D a day because it would stop my heart and kill me. The funny/not funny thing is, when she ordered my bloodwork, she didn't include my D level. She also said I had calcified ear wax in one ear and when I got to an ENT, he pulled out a piece of cotton. The woman is obviously not fit to practice and I have to find another doctor. I actually went to her because another doctor misdiagnosed me about another health issue. It's getting really hard to get help. I'm really sorry to say this but when doctors get to a certain age, they should be evaluated to see if they are still competent enough to help people live instead of wasting our time. Personally, it discourages me from seeking help at times and that's why I end up in the ER which is not how it should be.
wow
Congratulations for saving yourself & being aware. Think of others who lull themselves into complacency until it's too late🙏🏼
@@hblee88 Thank you.
Absolutely. I've noticed that older doctors 50+ and dentists are normally better than younger ones coz they've got the experience but over a certain age like 70-75 and you're better off going somewhere else... Plus they don't really know much at all about vitamins and minerals. Better off going to a Naturopath instead.
Pulled out a cotton swab an what?
The big problem is finding a knowledgeable, competent doctor that actually wants to help you.
There is a pubmed article where a hospital gave up to 60,000IU per day to every person who came into their hospital. No reported issues.
Please stop spreading false information. Not everyone reacts the same.
Keep in mind that vitamin D requires magnesium to transform into an active form. Thus, taking high doses of Vitamin D may drain your body magnesium supply and cause magnesium deficiency symptoms. Make sure to take Vitamin D together with magnesium and vitamin K2.
Magnesium Glycinate is the easiest to absorb....
Soo true, it's the ferris wheel that moves everything. D, iron and so forth.
yes!
Exactly.!
Vitamin D3 multivitamin and fish oil in the morning, and my magnesium glycinate at night.
I’ve been taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily for 2 1/2 years and the last time I had it checked it was 84 ng/mL. I also daily take 200 IU of K2 MK7. I’m a 72 year old male, about 220 lbs. I was able to find a naturally oriented doctor and she wants vitamin D between 80 to 100 ng/mL and would regard 50 as way too low.
It's about the bioavailability of D... that's why take K2/M7 is an awesome idea.
Was it 84 ng/mL when you first started taking 10,000 IU of d3 or you didn’t notice a change until 2 years after?
Yes Steve
I have ME and fibromyalgia. My vitamin D level was around 28 in October when they first checked. We Scandinavians usually have the lowest in March, April so a low
October made me really weak. It was difficult to stand still upright.
I take Holistics 5000IU once per day. I'm over 100 now and that made a big change for me. Dr. Lars Humble says it's great to reach over 100 up to 120 to minimize brain fog
I hope you are taking also vitamin K2 Mk7
Iodine is essential for fibromyalgia healing
I have Ulcerative Colitus and fibromyalgia too. U was adbised to use Curcumin to treat the U.C. and it resolved my Fibromyalgia too. I was allergic to the usual drugs that treat U.C. and the Curcumin is a natural anti inflammatory used widely in India and Africa, it's the active compound in Turmeric, it may work for you too.
100 what?? what units?
when I was at 100 the doctor in our village said this is dangerous... she acted as if I would die or something.
As others have stated vitamin D{3} should be taken in conjunction with vitamin K2, to ensure calcium is not taken out of the bones, into the blood, tissue, etc.. The ratio is: for every 4000IUs, take 100mcg of K2. The K2 will remove excess calcium back into the bones.
Under 40000IUs is regarded safe, on it's own.
Where did you find that ratio of 4000 to 100? I've been curious about that and would like to read more.
First you stated 4,000 then regarded under 40,000 as safe. Typo? Please correct.
Mk 4 puts calcium in the bones. Mk7 remove calcium from soft tissues like arteries.
chatGPT replay: "The statement is partially correct. Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 do work together in the body, and they both play important roles in bone health and calcium metabolism. However, the specifics of the dosage and safety limits can vary based on individual needs and should ideally be determined by a healthcare provider. Here are the details:
Interaction of Vitamin D3 and K2: Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from the diet, and vitamin K2 helps to direct that calcium into the bones and teeth where it is needed, rather than allowing it to deposit in the blood vessels or other tissues. Therefore, taking these two vitamins together can indeed support bone health.
Dosage Ratio: The ratio stated (for every 4000 IUs of D3, take 100 mcg of K2) is a commonly suggested one, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule. The ideal ratio can vary based on individual needs and should be determined in consultation with a healthcare provider.
Safety of Vitamin D3: The upper limit for vitamin D intake for most adults is often set around 4000 IUs per day, but higher doses may be used under medical supervision in some cases. The statement that under 40,000 IUs is safe is not typically accurate -- this is a very high dose that could lead to vitamin D toxicity if taken regularly without medical supervision.
In general, it's important to remember that while vitamins and supplements can support health, they should be used as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, and their use should be guided by a healthcare provider. Overconsumption of any vitamin or supplement can lead to adverse health effects."
If you look up on Google how much vitamin K2 MK7 you have to take, you will discover that K2 dose is independent of D3. The dose of K2, should be 200 micro grams, regardless of how much D3 you take.
I have a level of 122.5ng/mL recently. I am taking 15000IU and 30-45 min UVB sun rays daily. I am ok. I take K2 as well. My original level before two years back was 15ng/mL. Because of my age (66) and mainly due to Covid 19 I have decided to increase the vitamin D level. One of the research paper I have read maximum level can be 200ng/mL.
😊😊😊😊😊
@testinginstruments7785
I consider ancestrial levels to be 40 - 60 ng/ml.
And if I got to higher than 80, I would think about reducing it.
Although your 122 should be safe. I think 200 is clearly too high.
The body can produce corresponding up to 15000 - 20000 IU after a whole day in the sun. It goes no higher than that!
Use that as a guide for your maximum supplementation level!
Most likely, the optimum levels are very different from person to person. Some say you can check it with the parathyroid hormone levels. They should be in a normal low range
One doctor said If you have a Autommune disorder you should get you levels to 150 ng/ml
@@larsnystrom6698 why? anscestors were living under the light of day, gathering, hunting, exploring, travelling.. they ate a lot of raw foods, meat and organs that are full of fats and vitamins
I take 8k with a medium chain fatty acid (coconut oil 1 teaspoon morning and night). I get my potassium via food and herbs. Vitamin B complexes via Nutritional Yeast and a Modified Keto diet.
Been in remission for my MS now for 10 years.
Hi there, congrats on your journey. I have been diagnosed with osteosarcoma and going through chemo. Is there anything else you did to help with your fight against cancer.
@@pankajrohaj MS is a Autoimmune disease. My aunt had bone cancer for 14 years and treated it with a 36 Amino Acid combo and herbs. She lived to 92. She also did 10k of Vitamin D and didn't eat anything with Corn Syrup, High Fructose Syrups, or Maltodextrines. She would blend up Garlic with Avacado and he's with high Omega 3's. She had been given 3 months to live. 14 years later died of old age.
@toryallan7967 yes I'm avoiding corn starch, maltodextrin as well. Taking Turmeric and castor oil which has helped with inflammation. Would you mind sharing 36 amino acids and herbs? I have ordered the D3+K2 supplements after hearing how good they are too. Your time and advice is much appreciated. I'm a 33 year old who was a runner so it was quite shocking but trying to live on for my kids.
Hi there I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago. I have a hard time trusting mainstream information on MS, as none of it can give any nutritional solutions. When were you diagnosed? What type were you diagnosed with?
@@Ndogg012 I was diagnosed after 11 years of being sick (started in 1991) and as Slow Progressive MS. It steadily got worse and the Medicine they had to mitigate the Immuno-response started to cause Arterial Inflammation then destroying my Liver. That's when I went Nutrition, Herbal and Physical Therapy route.
Number one Clue: My Vitamin D was in the teens (18 parts per million) where you need to be above 40 at a minimum. Taking pills alone didn't help much, got to the 20's is all. Read about the roll that Medium Chain Fatty Acids play in absorbing and using D3 so I went with Coconut Oil ( Teaspoon in morning then at night). Plus bumped up D3 to 8000 units (4k in morning then 4 at night with the oil).
Second Clue: cut out anything that sequester's D3. No more Soda with corn syrup. No more cooking with Corn starch or anything with Maltodextrines. Plus cut out Dr Pepper and Mt. DEW they have Phosoric Acid and other stuff that strips Calcium and affect D3 negatively.
Third: Vitamin B Complexes needed to be balanced so the Neurons could rebuild properly. I use Nutritional Yeast as indicated by a Dr Berg. I also do a modified Keto-Paleo meal plan to get the right fats and proteins and I grow my own Vegitables whenever possible. Herbs I grow are Oregano, Basil, Anise, Sage, Mint, onion and Chive. Use then in all my meals.
Fourth: Get a good Physical Therapist that Teaches you not just Treats you. Work a slow but steady exercise so as not to aggrigate the inflamitory response to cell breakdown by overdoing it. I did water Arobics so as to keep my body cool while exercising slow but steady.
Plus I got off all pain killers except an occasional Alieve for migraine or the muscle cramping.
Not a Dr but have learned to live with the Neuropathy affects and can get around without a Cain and Walker. I adjust my activities if I respond to something badly but otherwise been in remission for a bit over 10 years.
I’ve been taking 15,000 iu per day (10,000 in the morning and 5,000 in the evening) with K2 for a couple of years. Had my levels checked about a year ago. 80ng/ml. Some websites say over 60ng/ml is too high, others say up to 100ng/ml is fine. My doc was happy with my results…
Can 20ng person take 60k iu every week once?
There are vitamin D calculators on the internet that can help you determine the right loading and maintenance dose. You enter your current serum level, your desired serum level and your weight, the website tells you how much vitamin D to take for how long to reach your goal.
How do you take vitamin d n k2 ?
@josetuma3398 I take with water 💧
Warn me when it's over 200
You are 100% correct. Even 5,000 IU's per day is peanuts.
@TheHaratashi
Not peanuts!
Each 1000 IU typically raises your blood level 5 - 7 ng/ml.
So, if you started at 20 ng/ml, you can expect to be at 45 - 55 ng/ml.
And thats a pretty good level.
10000 IU may be more than you actually need.
I took 5000iu everyday for 5 months through uk winter and my level was 105 nmol, far too high ,it is not peanuts
@@petemayes1940 105nmol is not high at all.That is equivalent to just under 45ng/ml. My Dr. recommnends around 100 ng/ml is optimal.
@@dwaynemorris3079 Sorry meant ng ....I have had melanoma and should be 70 tops
Thanks for the link to the Mayo paper! I'd like to add a couple of points from my searching for actual research on Vitamin D. Yes it is a hormone and it is almost like a rechargeable battery. When you do get sick, your Vitamin D levels (as measured by blood test) will start dropping rapidly. So the advantage of being higher than 65 ng is basically how long can it help you fight an infection. My last 2 readings: 101 ng (18 months ago) and 63 ng (last month). Everybody seems to have a different uptake rate. I hit 101 ng by taking 10,000 UI/day. My brother takes 20,000 IU/day and only gets to 70 or 80 ng.
Also many lay people don't understand how Covid-19 generally killed you. For many, it caused an overreaction of the immune system, causing your body to flood the lungs (basically stuffy nose but in the lung) and reduce your oxygen uptake. Vitamin D, among other things, is a regulator of the immune system. It both makes your immune system react faster to an infection AND also helps limit overreaction of the immune system. This latter feature is why high Vitamin D levels are protective against dying from Covid-19. The fast immune reaction from Vitamin D is why so many people taking it say that they "rarely get sick". They are getting sick but the immune system catches it so much faster before the infection gets going and gives us the normal cold symptoms; You fight off the cold super quick.
Maybe you are like me, see my other post.
Figure out if you have an underlying condition that is consuming the vit-d like I had.
which i had more thumbs to give
Great point.
you might have different magnesium levels in the body
Don’t forget about vit k2 to avoid calcification. And magnesium (which most are severely lacking) also heavily compliment these other supplements.
thank you for the clear up to date explanation it is going to be very helpful to many that are deficient in Vit D . My Dr refused to give me more than 800 IU despite my levels being below 20nmol/L We had a 15 minute long argument but he was adamant he was right because the UK national Health Service at that time were still quoting 800 IU as the optimum level in their recommendations. I have been taking 4000 IU daily all year round in the UK and the positive effect on my health and various conditions has been life changing
I had mine at 97 ng/ml and I was at my very best (I have to start taking it again as I'm low). I would bump up your dosage to 10000 IU Daily and then go get a blood test in 2 months and see what you level is then.
Mine was at 8
800 IU per day is a safe dose for a baby or a small toddler.
@@PeCo333 Wow that's low, what was your sun exposure like in the years leading up to those levels?
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 Low, of course! I don't like too much sun,and I live in the north of Germany with long winters. And the summers are not always sunny. Now I take 20.000 IU a week.Sorry for my bad English 🙈
Those ancient 400IU numbers were only the levels sufficient to prevent deficiency disease, in the case of vitamin D, that would be “rickets.” Higher levels are about *therapeutic* doses; that is, an amount you would need to ensure bodily functions-like immunity-that are related to it are not just not failing, but functioning optimally.
I personally have been taking 10,000/day 5 days/week for many years, to get my levels to 60-70. I have a history of kidney stones, and have had not a single stone (nor anything at all showing up ultrasound images of the kidneys) in the last 10 years.
I know someone who took 50,000 a day for six months to a year because it helped with her depression, and started to have problems. Their blood levels were in the high 200’s. Sounds best to stay around 100-120 blood level. 30 is NOT enough.
Lol you can’t just stop there. Tell us what the problems were
Meh. Recommended values change over time. We haven't reached the end of medical science research. Why stop if you're not experiencing any adverse effects?
I was taking 5,000IU d3 over the counter daily for over a year and it didn't help. I'm currently taking 50,000IU D2 weekly for 36 weeks prescribed by my doctor. My levels were 14nl/mg in March. My lab work this week indicates my vitamin d 25 hydroxy levels are 92nl/mg. Great improvement. I see my doctor next week to go over my lab results. I don't feel any different whether my levels are 14 or 90. If I didn't go to the doctor regularly, I wouldn't know my d levels were low. This video was very helpful. Thank you
Really, no difference at all, not more energy? Many tell the opposite
Same here.
Is your prescribed D,vitamin D2 or D3?Most people prescribed d are taking d2 not d3.Makes a difference,don’t forget to take with K2.Hope this helps.
@@susancowand6473My Dr prescribed d2 for me. I'm taking that now. It increases my D levels. The d3 I was taking did nothing for me. I took d3 drops with k2 in it for over a year and my levels were low as if I wasn't taking anything. I stopped that. D2 is working so far.
I took 10,000 IUs or so per day for a number of years...Finally got tested and found that, though I had no symptoms of toxicity, my levels were in the toxic zone. It turns out, however, that the half life of Vit D is roughly two weeks...which allows one to fairly quickly reduce levels by abstention in a reasonably short time. I now take approx. 7,000 IUs a day. (I also take 400 mcg of K2 per day)
can help to take at the same time as magnesium
What were your levels?
Which brand you use for k2
25,000 per day for 4 years im at an average of 97 nano grams per milliliter. Never had covid. No side effects. Im also in the sun in hawaii 6-7 hours everyday.
do you take k2 too? and magensium? how much magnesium should I take per 5k IU?
I want to start taking 10k per day but should I take it directly or first one 5k capsule and in the evening one too
Wow that's a TON of vit d!
All nutrition isn’t really about how much you take but how much you assimilate. My vitamin D levels were very low a few years ago and I had to take 50,000 IUs once a week for a couple months just to get back to normal.
I was told by my psychiatrist to take Vitamin D for depression. For about 14 years, I took 2000 iu/day. After I had COVID in early 2022, I started having difficulty sleeping. A few months ago, I decided to double the dose to 4000 iu/day. My sleep immediately improved. My levels were around 50, but I had heard that higher levels might be more ideal. I haven’t checked my levels since the increase. More studies definitely need to be done in regards to this vitamin.
If you are healthy, 50 is the sweet spot!
I'm 61 and been taking 10.000 IU for almost 25 years.
I'm in top shape (fitness and healthy food) and only have a detox response (most call this being sick) in 8 to 10 years.
Also, vitamin D3 supplements are necessary to prevent colon cancer.
I've been taking 40,000iu D3 with Vitamin K2 since early in the pandemic. It's been wonderful, I doubt I will ever stop. My hay fever has mostly disappeared, my asthma is better, I haven't been ill since I bumped up my daily D3 to 40,000iu.

Interesting. I've been on 10,000 IU plus magnesium and zinc for years. I'm in my late 70s and don't know my levels as I don't go near doctors. I enjoy great health and energy. Also when I first started taking Vitamin D I noticed a difference within days, felt more cheerful and generally better. I haven't noticed that with any other supplement ever.
Very helpful! Thx. I had very low VitD several years ago so I’ve been supplementing with OTC D3 and prescription D2 for several years with good results putting me in the 50+ range. And then… a few months ago I started on Mounjaro for my diabetes and I ended up losing 45# in about 6 months. My blood tests at that point were AMAZING! No more high BP or diabetes or anything else troublesome, EXCEPT… my Vitamin D was now at 199! Turns out ALL my fat soluble vitamins and hormones were ultra high due to them being released back into my system as I burned off the fat. The doc actually called me at 7am on a Saturday to tell me to stop taking any of vitamin D supplements! I also showed some calcium crystals in my urine test which she said could lead to kidney stones so we would continue monitoring that. But she didn’t explain the connection between the D and the crystals. So thanks for filling in that detail. Now I understand why she also wanted to make sure that I wasn’t taking additional calcium. It sure helps to understand the WHY of the instructions the docs give you. 😃
I’ve heard doctors say vitamin D toxicity is still taught in medical school but nobody ever sees it in practice because most people are vitamin D deficient.
Well I think I have experienced it because doctor prescribed 50 iu to take once a week and I literally immediately threw up the first dose
They were searching for reasons I was having symptoms of unknown aetiology. I told the doctors it was MS, which it was, thankfully very mild. They did every blood test known to man, one of which was my Vit D level, which amazingly was over 50. My daughter is a pharmacist and asked my if I was taking a Vit D supplement, which I wasn’t. I told her redheads have an edge at metabolizing what sun they do get into Vit D, and that it is an ancestral benefit redheads possess. I take supplements now around 10,000 units a day to maintain my health along with 200 mgs of Vit K. Both hubby and I both began supplements prior to the planneddemic, and had the vid and despite many comorbidities, and survived! Thanks for the info. I knew people only had troubles from increased doses IF they were off the charts, which this study confirms.
I am taking 20.000 IUs in winter and 10.000 in summer for years now.
I began with 5.000 and wondered, why my level stayed so low in the 20ths, so I added gradually over time.
I am a big guy from Germany with 2 meters and my weight is at 125kg, so this is right for me,
Every person is different, so everybody has to find his own personal dose.
What about k2 magnesium zinc?

10,000 IU a day isn't even enough to correct a serious deficiency in timely manner. That's maintenance level dosage for me.
I went into anesthesia partly because the science of much of medicine is different for each person. Our bodies are designed to work efficiently but not every body works the same way. Slight differences in our biochemistry / physiology can cause issues that are sometimes virtually impossible to sort out and fix. Example - just because your vit D level is normal doesn't mean that you could benefit from supplementation or vice versa. Each of us has to do the best we can determining what works best for our particular self. There are so many things that go into a well running organism that we can never get everything perfect. Good luck to all.
Excellent video! My adult son and I were very low on Vitamin D3. The doctor explained that very low vitamin D is dangerous for our health. I take 5000iu of D3 daily and for the past 3 years my blood work shows 50-60 ng/ml which is in the middle of standard range. I'm 66 years old and get no or at most 1 cold a year.
try it with magnesium or eat such food with it
50- 60 is perfect.
Don't forget K2 and Mg.
The "recommended dosage" for vitamins are so out of date that they can be considered misinformation by the "health" organizations who should be looking out for the people. I've taken 20,000 IUs daily during the Covid waves and I only got sick once in the whole year back in 2021, and once in 2022, and recovered after 3 days.
Low vitamins can cause enzymes not to work properly, which means you may get sick, which means you will need a doctor aaaaaand big farm medicine.

Cholecalciferol in high doses acts by elevating blood calcium levels, causing heart failure. Possums and rodents have a low tolerance to calcium, which makes them particularly sensitive to this type of toxin. Animals poisoned with cholecalciferol show loss of appetite, reduced body weight and elevated calcium concentrations in blood and tissue.

In the UK you would have to jump through hoops to get your doctor to even organise a serum D3 test, let alone titrate a dose to get you to reasonable levels. 90% of doctors and the government still believe that you should take 400 to 600 iu max. They have no knowledge or interest in Vit D3 status. It is pretty much assumed that serum vitamin D status is associated with a better immune system, and therefore better health. Better resiliance to disease. So, why isn't it centre stage at the doctor's surgery. It's almost as though they want us to be ill so that they can give us some expensive drugs to overcome our acquired illnesses.
Late March 2024, my NHS GP gave me a standard panel of blood tests that included Vit D, and B12. Things may be uneven but some, at least, are on to the importance of Vit D. I had been supplementing (with K2), so results were decent
Last sentence in your post. Ding ! Ding ! Ding ! What have we got for him Johnny !? Spot on.
I take 50000iu every other day. No issues at all. I found that I get old age aches and this dose works great for 48 hours with K2.
Depends on levels in your blood. It concerted in your body, so it depends on conversion rate.
Take 7000 a day for years, never get sick anymore.
The governments Recommended Daily Allowance, (RDA) label percentage % numbers are specifically design to ONLY make sure you have a pulse. That is all.
Also should be mentioned you should always take magnesium with vit d & k2. It helps with up to 90% absorption and without it is pointless taking it
10000 IU is more than indicated by doctors but very far from an overdose.
Vitamin D toxicity isn't a thing. There's hypercalcemia, which you can get in rare cases - either if you have kidney disease or if you're taking calcium supplements with vitamin D. So scientists are blaming vitamin D for high calcium levels, not the calcium supplements. Isn't that fasciniating?
I had low VD and was hospitalized with Covid bilateral pneumonia for 8 days. I now take 10,000 VD a day. Last time I had covid (1.5 years after I was hospitalized from it) it was more like a cold and I was only sick for 4 days!!
K2 is found in every day
foods, where as D3 is not.
North of the 35th parallel everyone is deficient.
I almost croaked from Covid. I surmise I was in the low 20's when I got sick. After coming home from the hospital I started taking 3,000 IU's per day thinking that would surely get me up to an optimal level. After 3 months I tested at 29 ng/ml. I began taking 10,000 IU a year ago and recently tested at 54 ng/ml. Everyone is unique. Test. I have white skin and 97 percent Northern European ancestry. Don't assume that because you're white that you aren't deficient or insufficient.
Make absolutely sure you take 100 mcg K2-MK7 when taking Vitamin D3.
1st tested at 20ng/ml with 3000IU per day & 3 months later, its increased to 29ng/ml (9ng/ml increment every 3 months). took 10000IU & recent tested at 54ng/ml (29 to 54 = 25 increments within how many months?). if it was me, i will stayed at 3000IU where i know every 3 months, the increments around +-9ng/ml. well, a good absorption

I started taking 6,000 IU with K2 daily during the “pandemic.” I went from 2-4 colds per year and annual sinus infections to nothing. I feel like it’s a miracle after spending most of my life waiting for the next cold. Oh, I never got the pandemic illness either even though my 12-year old did have a mild case. He’s on the regimen now after being diagnosed as low in vitamin D and has been doing well. YMMV so check with your doc first!
I had my Vitamin D level checked by my rheumatologist who was treating my rheumatoid arthritis and my level was 3. She immediately started me on a 50,000 dose but not daily. Once I was finally at a level that was in the upper range she started reducing it. I now take 5,000iu 3 times a week and have for quite a few years and it’s been stable. I do a lot of gardening so do get natural sunshine but I am very fair and had my first skin cancer at age 30. My husband just recently had his level tested and his level was 16, so I had him start on it. He had developed a goiter, which is why he went in and hadn’t seen a doctor in 5 years.
If your husband has a goiter he's probably low in iodine. I would consider supplementing with an Omega-3 based supplement and some iodine for that.
Or you could just supplement with many things because unless we eat an ideal diet from food we raise ourself on pristine pastures, it's pretty hard not to be deficient in multiple nutrients these days. Once you start poking around you find out there are so many fantastic supplements out there today. It's hard to choose just a limited few.
@@YourCapyBruv_do_u_rmbr_3Dpipes I developed a goiter several years ago but have several autoimmune disorders. When my husband developed one, I started iodine supplements for both of us. I don’t use salt when cooking except when making bread which is not often and neither of us salt our food. I have the same iodized salt container for years. A friend of ours also had a goiter so it isn’t uncommon.
@TAS TX just to add, there's a company called piping rock that sells supplements at a very affordable price. They offer various organ meat supplements that I've been looking at lately. I'm sure as you know organ meats are especially nutrient rich.
@TAS TX no today unfortunately it's not. it's up to you course but I would recommend increasing your iodized salt intake as well as using other natural salts like sea salt. Natural unrefined salt products can provide a variety of beneficial minerals.
There's a supplement out there called solé that I think is is genuine. I used to use it but it's been a while. It seems it to improve my health.
I'm also very fond of marine phytoplankton supplements, arctic ruby oil, a company called activation products, and a supplement called cell food.
I may be a bit of an evangelist but I believe excellent health can be found from good wellness practices but also using a variety of quality supplements.
Other holistic practices that you might want to consider are rife therapies, red light and far-infrared therapy, and simply tanning for more vitamin D exposure. Supplements, if they're quality, are always great in my opinion, but I believe moderate sun exposure or a tanning bed can also be helpful. Whether it's outdoors if you're able to do that or simply in a commercial tanning salon.

Thanks for sharing your experience. At the start of the pandemic, I started on 10,000 IU of D3, plus K2, zinc and C. I had read that this was good for immunity. Last year when I went to my pcp, she said my bloodwork showed that I had hypercalcemia which was causing osteopenia. She told me that high doses of D3 can cause this. My D test showed I was at 100. So she told me to cut my dose of D3 in half. I have now been taking 5000 IU. I also had my parathyroid tested and it was normal. My next appointment is in July 2023, so I’m hoping everything will be ok.
You must start taking 600-800 mg of magnesium. The magnesium glycinate form is very effective. Magnesium will help with the calcium.
@@BlackButterFlyTongue yes, I also take magnesium glycinate. 425 mg is the max that I can tolerate.
@@RevelationArtist try doing foot baths with Epsom Salt - magnesium sulphate. that's a better way to up your magnesium without the GI problem.
Take sufficient K
I was taking a 10.000iu as well. Got a test. 2 mths ago, the level was 385!!!
It has to be > 60 ng/ ML. I try to maintain ~80.
I increased to 20,000 units I went from barely surviving, to thriving. Thanks for sharing.
My sister takes 10,000 ICU ..she’d a thyroid cancer…about 13yrs ago after her surgery/treatment she’s been on high dose vitamin d. Thanks for sharing your experience/thought.
for how long of a period did you take the 10 000iu of vitamin d before switching to 7000 ius?
3 months
I think you can take up to 50,000 IU for about a month before you would see toxicity symptoms. That's according to my nutrition text from a college class. I don't see 10,000 IU hurting you.
Which course are you studying. I want to know about the courses related to nutrition.
They always took high does in the 50s area lol I know I was there lol I’m doing great
It won't u are correct
I highly recommend getting your vitamin D level tested as it associated with so many auto-immune, nervous system disorders & degenerative diseases. I’m a 58 year old male who stays in the shade, 6’2” 250lbs, Vitamin D 198 nmol/L, blood pressure 110/70 & calcium 2.24 & have none of the issues I’m going to mention next. In 2002 I was suffering with anxiousness, fatigue, hypersensitivity - felt like burn out, frequent colds, allergies, but in hindsight, it was low vitamin D. In 2008 I had it tested & my vitamin D level was at 26 nmol/L. I started supplementing vitamin d3 400iu for a few years, then 1,000 iu for a few years, then 2,000 iu for a few years with little progress, then 3,000iu, then 4,000 iu. By 2019, my vitamin D was 73.9 nmol/l. I started taking 5,000 iu vitamin D3 and that got me out of the insufficiency range to 125.1 nmol/L. In 2001 I increased my vitamin D3 to 7,500 & 2022 10,000 iu along with Vitamin K2 MK7 100mcg & in Oct 2023, my vitamin D was at 198 nmol/L, so I think I’ll dial it back 7,500 iu as toxicity is at 250 nmol/L. If I knew what I know now, I would’ve started at 10,000 iu with vitamin K2 MK7 100mcg per day for 3 months, then dialed it back to 7,500 iu everyday & Vitamin K2 MK7 100mcg every other day for 9 months & retested. When I got a mild case of shingles, I took 15,000 iu vitamin D3 & 100 mcg K2 MK7 twice daily for 3 days & by the 5th day it was healing up & two weeks later it was gone. I may try that if I get a cold.
I thought the limit was 150. I was told I was toxic, but I never got sick when my levels were that high.
I have 150ng, my levels went up to 150 within 2 months after taking 10.000 IE + 120µg K2 MK7 + MG Citrate daily.
I started with 3000iU back in 2020. Since a week I doubled my dosis to 6000iU a day. Will keep taking this for another period before I increase the dose. Thanks for your video!
Do you feel any difference in how you feel?
Magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 is a kind of minimum supplementation for when you don't get any sun.
When supplementing with vitamin D, get your calcium from food, not from supplements.
After 3 months, you can test your level of vitamin D, i e 25(OH)D, in the blood. Your goal is 40 - 60 ng/ml. More, if you want, but I think over 80 is unnecessary.
10,000 is nothing. People don't understand the actual minimum amount your body requires. You can take 100,000 ius and still be fine. You might get some calcium build up but that's about it
Vitamin D3 doses are patient specific. Generally, Vitamin D serum concentrations 75 to 100 ng/mL are not toxic. Also, ensure total Calcium serum concentration is less than 10.2 mg/dL. If Calcium serum concentration exceeds 10.2 mg/dL request an ionized serum Calcium measurement.
How long did it take for your vitamin d to drop to 20 after you paused your 7,000ui supplementation? Was it a rapid drop off? Great video by the way!
around 3 months
@@TechnoPandaMedia thanks!
@@TechnoPandaMedia i´m also pro VitD+k2 use in minimal 7000ie dialy, because i just found out i have hyperthyroidism, even though i did take "high doses" of Vit D (for example 5000iE daily)..and still it wasnt´t enough.
Have you notice a diffrence in your wellbeeing between 20ng and 50ng VitD level?
@@madlenj.4644 My wife had hyperthyroidism with multi nodular goiter, iodine supplementation fixed it for her. It was recommended to her from her endocrinologist
In 36 and been taking 20,000 IU for 2 years and no problems.
I watched Dr Eric Berg two days ago about this. If you google the toxicity range for vitamin D it should pop out easily, but it does not show what should be taken when you are above the 20,000 IU range. Dr. Berg answered those missing link, but I also am reminded of it in the comments here.
Interesting. A good follow-up study would be to see if taking a large dose once per week has any added benefits to taking smaller amounts once per day. Example: 50,000 IU / week, or 7,500 IU / day.
I read an article that the every day slow drip is better. Body will take what it needs and reject what it doesnt. I dont want expensive pee.
@@melindatarnow5713 The article was wrong. It takes days for a large(50,000 IU) dose to hydroxylated in the liver then more time for the second hydroxylation in the kidneys. The body dose not "reject" any Vitamin D in the urine(or anywhere else)
I've taken vit D/wK2 10K for almost 10 years. My recent level was 76, it started at 16. I have a genetic defect that inhibits D absorption.
30 is still too low. Everyone will feel better if it’s much higher than that. Also, people need to realize that sometimes it takes a long time to get your numbers up. Just be patient and they will eventually get to where they need to be.
Very informative, thank you.
This is very helpful to me. It alleviates some of my apprehension about adding a 2000 IU D3 supplement to my daily multi-vitamin. Also, I have learned that adding a small amount of additional magnesium helps the body use the vitamin D... but beware, magnesium overdose is definitely possible so don't overdue the magnesium, or any metals or minerals. My multi has 50mg of magnesium and my magnesium supplement has another 400mg, which is the recommended daily amount so I am pretty sure that I am not taking a toxic amount of magnesium. Magnesium normally dissipates and/or gets used up fairly quickly so it is probably okay to take the supplement every day.... However, to be on the safe side, I occasionally skip a day from all of my mineral and vitamin supplements... maybe twice a month.
I've been using over 1000mg of magnesium daily for many years. I use a topical spray and have had great results from it, no issues at all.
Magnesium is necessary to turn vitamin D3 into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is the form that is measured in the blood. Also, apparently sufficient zinc is necessary to turn this intermediate form into the actual active form, which is 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
So supplementing both magnesium and zinc in small doses should help impove your immune functioning, if you're not getting enough of these nutrients from your diet (like a diet high in processed foods).
I have taken D3 50000IU a day for two years now. I also took K2 mk4 5mg and magnesium malate 300mg 4-5 times a day. D3 use upp alot of magnesium. K2 is needed to transport calcium from the blood to the bone. D3 increases calcium in the blood.
@Donal Kinsella when taken D3 10000IU for a year, I have 76ng/ml. My last two large health test did only measured D3 to 70ng/ml, so I have no idea. My hair grows has also increased. A 20 year old foot damage has now healed. My pain in booth arms is gone. I have no negative side effects. My mother in law took the same dosage. Her allergy is gone after a year on D3.
@@vindrock8176 Hi! How did you decide your vit K2 dosage per Vit K D3 you were taking?
@@prettypraline I just take the stronger K2 I find. K2 800ug of the stronger mk7 should also be sufficient.
@@vindrock8176 Thanks for replying! Good to know! Thanks!
hi there, what is your blood level like after taking 50k IU/day for 2 years? seems like it's different for everyone, and everyone needs a different amount.
I was on 10,000 IU daily for several years. Eventually a blood test showed a slightly excessive level so I’ve dropped to 5000. Last two blood tests have shown reasonable levels.
markiangooley I have been taking 10k iu for about 9 yrs now and my levels are always between 89 ng/ml to 94ng/ml checked yearly.
@@dwaynemorris3079 Do you ever get sick? Many have reported to less colds.
@@ShepherdMinistry No, i haven't been sick in several years. I used to have real bad allergies but i still have a few minor issues with post nasal drip during the spring, but very minimal now.
in order to prevent Vit D toxicity, it would be better to take Vit K2/ M7. Vit K2 can transport Vit D to right place....
😂🤣”reasonable” according to who? That is the issue and the problem! I now stay between 80-100…and that’s how I recovered from numerous chronic lifelong problems! Plus…make sure it’s combined with K2… BTW…you can regularly test yourself…tests are available online and you don’t have to rely on regular MDs and beg for regular testing!
I took 400UI daily and it didn't do anything (blood test). Then I took 4000-10000IU daily for several months and blood test revealed that I got it into so so, little bit under average (from terribly low)
I was taking the standard 1K iu of Vit D for years and just stayed 25 to 31 range. Once I started taking 10k iu every other day or so I saw it was raised to 43. I watched your videos and several others and learned that it is a fat soluble and should be taken with a fat. Also since I am 220lbs, which is considered medically obese, I have a higher body fat content. I found that I needed more than the standard. 10Kiu daily also I started taking 100mcg vit k2. now my level is 70 and I feel GREAT! I also never caught covid due to taking my vitamins properly. Also taking b complex, magnesium, zinc and iron. I'm in my mid 40's and have sun sensitivity (rashes) so supplementing works for me.
Sun sensitivity can be caused by taking too much B6 (recommend keeping to below 12mg per day total B6 from supps, I get 6mg per day) and not enough zinc (to get enough to help with skin issues 20-25mg zinc for women 25-35mg for men is probably around the right level (I take 28mg per day [I'm a guy in average shape]). Sun sensitivity is the same as the skin damage that people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen get as well from the computer monitor blue light (use a 50+ sunscreen either way, and night mode can be used on your monitor all the time to reduce skin damage). Btw I assume you mean 100mcg K2 and not 100mg K2, I also take 10kIU D3 which I pair with 400mcg K2, recommend you consider a slightly higher K2 dose unless you eat a lot of organ meats or Kimchi (Korean fermented Cabbage) as both are high sources of K2. If you have a medical condition that could be affected by dietary changes please talk to your doctor before changing diet.
@Mithril_Antimarr My skin's sun sensitivity was due to Polymorphous Light Eruption or PMLE for short. I've had it since I was a child. It was not due to taking any sort of vitamins. I do wear sunscreen for exposed skin and long sleeves. I limit my exposure to the sun and wear long sleeves and blue light glasses even when using computers.
As an adult learning about plme and vitamins I've managed my skin and have little to no issues. I don't eat organ meat, I have kimchi, olives, pickled vegetables and beans daily. I have a garden and grow or make my own food I don't eat out either.I also did miss type and corrected the dosage to sow 100mcg not 100mg thanks for pointing it out.
You need more k2
@@RepentfollowJesus True I've recently added another 100mcg. I make my own kimchi and eat a lot of olives and fermented foods. I grow my own kale, collards and blueberries so I try my best to graze on the things that I can get it from naturally and supplement the rest.
Low vitamin d level here and I didn’t get Covid. Imagine that.
