- ~70% of the US population has inadequate vitamin D levels (less than 30 ng/mL). The health consequences of this are plenty. In this video, expect to learn:
• How vitamin D regulates the protein-encoding human genome
• Why Vitamin D deficiency is so common
• How vitamin D deficiency accelerates aging & increases mortality risk
• Why older individuals produce less vitamin D
• The "sweet spot" for blood levels of vitamin D
• The vitamin D dose required to raise serum levels by 5 ng/mL
• Why some people require a higher vitamin D supplementation dose to raise blood levels

Thank you for this! I am blessed and grateful to have crossed paths here. Best wishes warmest regards
That people are still deficient after years of Covid is very sad. Why doesn’t our public health system promote this? It’s basic public health.
Because, big pharmaceutical companies won’t allow it. Your gp doctor is trained to treat the disease not prevent it through “health care”
Sickness has been monetized at every level. There's no money in healthy people.
Vit D is out of patent. No money to be made by big pHARMa....poor things. 👀.
BECAUSE healthy people don't make anyone big money
You just hit the nail on the head! @@susanauger3758
My Vitamin D levels currently are at 98. I have so much energy and stronger in the gym.
Thats really good. You are touching upper limit.
@@aansul888 there is no general upper limit. There might be a personal one, but no one on the internet will be able to tell you the number. When people talk about these things, they probably apply to 95% of the people (hopefully), but often it's more like 50% and the others will have higher or lower "limits". The personal "upper limit" would be reached when all the genes that need to be activated by Vit D are actually activated.
@@wocket42there is something called vitamin d toxicity buddy.
@@DhiviBoy African tribes that are exposed to sun all day have average levels of 110 to 150 and they show no signs of vitamin d toxicity.
@@DhiviBoyvitamin D toxicity is really a deficiency in Vitamin K2. Hypercalcemia is easily avoided with k2 supplementation and reducing dairy intake.

@@poopoomangioneplease be kind to let us know who to follow instead besides doing our own research
Started taking 10000 IU late 2020 when I read the direct relationship of low levels and infections. Over 3 years later my level is close to 90 and never had a cold since.
I'm doing the same, but make sure you're taking K2 as MK-7 as well - to help prevent the body dumping calcium where it shouldn't.
get sun daily instead. much much better
Not very easy, depending on where you live and work schedule.@@user-mh6ve5ft2p
@@user-mh6ve5ft2pSun exposure is very unlikely to generate the necessary amounts of D3. A number of factors make this so. Historically, humans spent much of their history out in the sun from sunrise to sunset, with little to no clothing. It is impossible to replicate this lifestyle today. Additionally, latitude and seasonal changes affect how effective sun exposure is at triggering vitamin D3 synthesis. Supplementation is ESSENTIAL for most people. The only question is how much to take daily.

Dr. Patrick, appreciate your series on Vitamin D and other topics! Thanks a bunch!!
Thx for covering longevity
Thank you, Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
So glad Dr. Rhonda that you share more details & how we can get the basics for our cells. The western method of telling us @no fat, no salt, no sun…etc” sadly keeps sick people in the system & big pharma wealthy always. Thank you!
You have to take it with a good fatty meal for increased absorbtion. Add magnesium and k2 also.
the fat is in the pill
The oil is the fat source in the pill
@@scottslomka240 Only if the pill isn't a pill and happens to be a capsule that contains vit D as an oil based preperation ! If your vit D supplement comes as a pill, you should ideally consume it with/following a meal that contains an element of fat.
Great video. I would also add magnesium is essential too for the metabolism of Vitamin D.
Add in K2 ❤
How much magnesium per 10.000 IU of vitamin D3?
@@Kraven83male adults require around 420g daily.
Sound like you're supplementing with Vit D? With doses that high you can actually stop the absorption of magnesium.
Thank you
Good job everyone
Worth noting that the original discovery of Vitamin D was associated with a particular disease, a long time ago, and the historic recommended minimum to deal with the childhood problems being studied at the time is almost certainly inadequate. They did not understand the complete functionality of it then. It varies quite a lot in different parts of the world too.
Does anyone know what seminar this is clipped from? Would love to watch the full event.
Bravo. Thanks so much.Nouredine
Rhonda is just wonderful
I'm so educated. New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Indigenous population needs to listen too global world 🌎
She’s gonna need to make a lot of really good recommendations to counter the pfizer shots she recommended. Little late on the vitamin D there Rhonda.
Which supplemtation method works best? I've read oral doesn't work well and has issues with calcification without vitamin K. I've read the best is light either through a sun lamp or the sun, which avoids any calcification issues. Is this true?
My dosages are 200k to 300k IU’s per week and I cycle on and off. I also test levels on a regular.
The absolute only thing I changed after finally getting tested after 25 years on D-depleting carbamazepine/(Tegretol) was taking a supplement. No change in activity or UVB or diet.
Going from lowest 6ng/ml up to just under "sufficient" 30ng/ml on doctor Rx'd 5,000IU/day, then, with covid quadrupling that to 20,000IU/day to get above 50ng/ml before still catching an barely noticeable Delta, changed everything! Finally new hope/release from very long severe depression and the disappearance of all my debilitating pains let me start Keto/IF and losing 80 pounds. Still, it did end up taking 4X my doctor's 5,000IU/day Rx to get my med + fatmass-depleted D Level up there.
I've been on 20k a day with magnesium and k2... it's changed my life already. I should've checked myself in to a hospital a long time ago lol... it's amazing I still have a job. Curious, how much k2 were u taking?
@@sbarter How much K2 are you taking with 20K D3?
So the vitamin D sat in the fat so to say ?
@@holyboy1 I've only been taking 180mcg. Will probably double it
@@holyboy1 I've slowed down from the 20k a day, I got a lil worried about going so hard so fast. I've been doing around 10-15k for the passed week and actually sitting in the sun for 20 min so figure that should account for the missing amount. It's been around 3weeks close to a month, the biggest change is my mental clarity and a massive reduction in invasive negative thoughts. Still have a whole sleugh of physical pains and stuff but hopefully that is reduced with time. The mental aspect of it was the worst part
I send these to physicians.Her ability to explain on multiple aptitude levels is beyond impressive. Also I find her so soothing to listen and watch. I take 2,000 i.u. per day. Ive heard your HDL and 25 hydroxy should be close 50+/-

How to live and what to eat @@susanauger3758
Thanks for bringing this to public attention. My skin is black.
Don’t worry, you will be white one day
one thing the health care system fails to tell patients is that the same sun-protective qualities of melanin that make darker skinned people less susceptible (but not immune!) to skin cancer from UV radiation also means their melanocytes produce less vitamin D, and especially at higher latitudes or cooler seasons there is no way for anyone with medium to dark skin to get enough vitamin D without either a high dietary intake (e.g. from fatty fish) or more reliably, supplementation.
Question about cholesterol and vitamin d, maintaining regular bloodwork and a fairly low dose of about 3000 IU:s per day significantly rises my LDL cholesterol which again lowers back to normal levels when quitting vitamin d supplementation. Any clue why this happens?
I take all 3. Sometimes skip Mg2+ because it makes me kind of over-alert and increases tinnitus in the morning.
Thought all was good with me, but bc of you, I thought I'd try adding some magnesium bc of your info that so many are deficient in it. 2-3 days in, I was astonished. Upped my energy level, all worked better. Had no idea that things were off for me until things were better
How much magnesium do you take and which one if you don't mind sharing it..
@@wristcheck350 look at magnesium types from bioavailability perspective. A good choice is magnesium citrate. And magenesium is water-soluable, so it doesnt build up in fat tissue (like e.g vitamin d) so around 400mg of this daily should be pretty good.
@@wristcheck350 Thirne Magnesium CitraMate. I followed the directions on the package & take 1 capsule 3 times a day
You are amazing. Would you speak about supplement use and prescription medicines?
How do you feel about Boron?
Something she didn't mention and it goes right along with this, is lotion. Women especially smear lotion all over their body morning and sometimes evening. So what happens to it? We know all kinds of medicines are administered onto the skin, like seasick medicine, arthritis creams, etc. It goes into the body through our skin. Ok, would you drink that lotion? Of course not, but you are getting a dose every day. None of the lotions on the health food shelf DON'T have chemicals in them. So use coconut oil or lard for lotion. Yes, lard. As close to human fat as you can get. I eat it readily so it can't hurt you. Just a thought.
I like to use shea butter in the fall and winter.
My daily intake of D is 20.000ui a day. My wife, 40.000ui. It's been 3 years since we started. Never felt cold symptoms after that or from others, like coronavirus. Overall We have more energy, and for some reason we never gain weight. But i dont know if there is any relation to that. My wife uses for multiple sclerosis treatment, and never felt better. It just stopped the progress of her disease.
Hope you are taking sufficient K2 and Magnesium.
I agree with the K2 and magnesium recommendation from another commenter. Fish oil might assist further healing, as well.
please have your wife see a lyme literate doctor.
Send her blood to Igenex labs in California for lyme/tick testing. They have the most sensitive tests.
MS is often lyme. She can get treatment for that disease.
@@joyshuman2727 hi there!! Appreciate your concern!! Tky!! My wife is a Coimbra protocol patient. Thank God, she now has no symptoms from her disease. Because of high doses of D vitamin her body was able to shut down auto immune attacks. The dayly amount was established by very efficient exams she performed. She also takes magnesium, methilfolate, coline and many others. And she has to avoid any food with calcium.
I have been taking Vitamin D supplements for 2 years, i took 2,000 UI for most of this time, until 4 months ago when i heard about the reaserch of going higher being better and safe, and so i have been taking 10,000 UI for 4 months and my bloodwork came out today, i have 69.50 ng/ml and the paramaters are 30-100 ng/ml. so i'm right square in the middle :) will continue with 10,000 til the end of the year and will switch to 5000 for maintainance onwards.
This is great info to get out to the public so thanks for that. I just don’t understand why you kept saying 4000 was the upper tolerable limit. That’s not anywhere near the upper tolerable limit. There are many papers where they gave much more than that for extended periods with no side effect. None. I can tell you that most obese people will need to take 10k daily or more to have any shot at hitting that upper range of 60.
You must take 10K IU everyday if you are deficient which is 1 mg. Ref range is 30 -100, not 60.
@@aansul888 thanks for telling me what I already know. 60 is the low end of the target. You can’t say that I or anyone else has to take 10k. It depends on the person. For me it’s about 6k Altho in winter it’s 10m.
Because that's what the "authorities" say. We know it's nonsense. Wonder why they are saying that !?
She is a responsible practitioner. There is no universally perfect dose and toxicity is possible, even if rare. The proper dose depends entirely on the individual, which is why she said to START at 4000 units, then get tested and adjust from there if necessary.
@@dlg5485 practitioner? Are you under some illusion that she is a medical provider? She is a researcher. That’s her claim to fame in this space. And all the research supports the well known premise that 4k is not by any means the upper tolerable limit. Doctors frequently prescribe 25k and even 50k doses to people. This is a relatively common occurrence. Not controversial in any way.
any concerns about high dose vitamin D resulting in higher levels of calcification of arterial plaques?
Including synthetic supplements?
30,000 iu daily.....Plus 600 mg Magnesium Glycinate, 500 mcg K2, 10 mg Boron + host of other supps. (100ng/ml - 150ng/ml)
Have you been tested? My level was 386 while taking 10.000. My dr was concerned.
@@sadie45nanamoles per litre or ngs per ml? I agree with you about testing. I was taking between 20 and 25000 iu.s daily for three or 4 months, plus doing a bit of sunbathing. My vitamin D blood level reading came back at 222ngs per ml 😮. Now cut down to 10000 iu.s a day.
Nmol I think. I live in Ireland. I think that is the measurement we use. 30 nmol is normal here.
I take 10.000iu sometimes daily and then a few days not and my dose is 54ng/ml and not getting higher. What people also should know that everytime they get sick, your reserves are less and less
I like Rhonda. Forst seen her on Joe R. Very informative.
Indeed
In Rhonda Patrick we trust 😊
I take 10,000 ius and it is so great!
Still no comment on the link between omega3 supplements and prostate cancer???
What’s this about?
Since January 2023 I have been taking higher doses of vitamin d. Anywhere from 30 to 40 thousand IU's daily. The reason for this is because I have lupus and vitiligo. My question is, will taking vitamin d from an external source stop or slowdown my body regular vitamin d production.
Thanks Rhonda!
What do we think about the new studies about Vit D supplementation being correlated with multi morbidity?
Can you explain?
?
Sun is the best source. Ran into issues with supplements even at low doses and was taking mag and K2 along with it too. Get everything from food and nature.
Anyone have a link to the whole talk?

Sure... that'd be $100 convenience fee. 😳
to get good levels of vitamin D you need enough good levels of magnesium to activated the vitamin D. Lot's of people that are deficient in vitmain D are already magneisum deficient. Then they get prescribed 25,000 or 50,000 ui of vitamin D from there doctors and get worse. The calcium is going in al the wrong places and they don;t know why i think when doctors prescribe vitamin D they should also prescribe magnesium and the good form of it not oxide
I have heard this and also vitamin k2 helps put calcium where it should be.
D3 and K2 plus magnesium glycinate. Not oxide. Live long and prosper.😊
D3
Magnesium glycinate
K2 (MK-7)
Calcium citrate
Zinc
Omega3
This seems like a good combo for me
Very well said my friend 👍
@@lh2000 why glycinate ? why not magnesium citrate ? It should be more bioavailable
Taking boron complex sporadically may be improving my flexibility.
Dr Rhonda a Saint in disguise (thank you for your work)
I'd like to see Dr. Patrick read the book "Whole" by T. Colin Campbell, and then talk about whether most people should consider taking a D supplement or not. I've read that almost everyone, including Floridians who get hours of sun per day, still show as "deficient" on tests. And so what is considered "deficient" may not be accurate at all. Campbell's book talks about the dangers of taking isolated vitamins that will throw the body's innumerable biological reactions out of whack and cause problems, not solutions. You could probably make a case for every vitamin and show that most people are deficient in almost all of them. So should we start taking handfuls of vitamin tablets every day? Of course not.
They all seem to ignore his extensive studies. There is so much good data showing vitamin D supplements make no difference. It is a hormone and our body makes I through exposure to sunlight.
the Root Cause Protocol also takes the stance that storage D should be around 20 and we've been mislead about what a normal level is.
Question for Rhonda. Does two 20 minute sauna sessions in one day create the same benefit as one 20 minute session for one day and another 20 minute session the next day?
Nothing on Vit K2?
How can you make 4 times less of anything? You can use 1/4 of something.
Yes D3 is also for the immune system. The 25hydroxy of 30ng/ml was established over 40 years ago. Research shows of people outdoor dwellers have over 60nm/ml. That is the minimum to shoot for. It takes up to 3 months for D to ramp up. An adult can take 4000iu D3 daily safely. Get a 25hydroxy after 2 or 3 months. I live in Florida but i have to take 10,000iu D3 daily to achieve 83bg/ml.
Yes her assertion that 4000 is the upper tolerable amount is absurd.
I'm confused.
If 1,000 UI of Vitamin D raises serum levels by ~5 ng/ml, and to have an adequate blood serum levels, you need to be >= 30-60 ng/ml. That would translate to 6,000 - 12,000 UI.
However, the at the very beginning of this video, the bottom left of her presentation slide says a tolerable upper intake of 4,000 UI/day.
Seems like a contradiction. So which is it? 6,000 - 12,000 UI/day or 4,000 UI/day?
@@HolisticPython yes it can be confusing. 4000iu is safe for adults and much higher can be tolerated. Every body is different due to age, skin tone, liver function, latitude, sun etc. A study was done in Minnesota for 7 years more than 6000 patients. The only person that developed hyper calcemia was a person taking 40,000iu per day and a calcium supplement and was reversed. I started at 4000iu per day and had a 25hydroxy but achieved 50 ng/ml. It takes over 6 Weekes for your body to absorb D. I then went to 10,000iu D3 per day and achieved 83ng/ml. My girlfriend takes 5000iu daily and it's at 93ng/ml. Very high D3 greater than 100,000iu is used for MS patients but requires a doctor supervision based on the Coimbra Protocol. Hope this helps.
@@HolisticPython i took 10000 IU's daily for 12 months and then reduced it to 4000iu's per day and my reading is still only 45ng/ml. Taking too much would be pretty difficult to do
@@brettmasonmediabravo of course
I started taking 3 g of omega3 a day and couldn’t believe the changes I saw, nails thicker, hair thicker….super weird but will take it, also so D3+K2 because of you too
daily adequate sun exposure per day is 10,000 IU of vitamin D, I wake up before the sun, work all day inside and have a basement apartment at the very minimum I take 10,000 IU of vitamin D unless I've been outside for the majority of my day.
Now do one on the detriments of the soybean oil it sits in

4000 is probably safest and not irresponsible to tell people to take. You would need regular blood tests for lvls that high.
The upper tolerable limit is the official recommendation. There are upper tolerable limits recommended for each of the vitamins in non-prescription supplements - these are amounts known to be safe in all people - but given many variables, this level may not be effective for establishing optimal blood levels in some ppl. So, if someone is unable to do regular testing, it will be safe to take this amount on a regular basis, but w/testing may establish that may need to take more to reach optimal level. Dr. Patrick is not physician, so I'm sure she must not make recommendations for supplementation beyond the official, even though she knows that some ppl will nerd to take beyond this UTL to reach sufficient level, much less optimal. I have heard a vitamin D researcher and physician say ( in a recorded grand rounds presentation to other physicians) that he uses an eight-week protocol of 50,000 IU once per week. I have a photosensitive autoimmune disease and I am elderly and obese, so I knew I was likely deficient even though taking a senior multivitamin and consuming some dietary sources of vitamin D. Therefore, a couple of months b4 my scheduled annual Medicare visit, I started taking 8,000 IU of D3 daily, 6 days/week, in an approximation of the 50,000 IU/week regimen I had heard from the vit D researcher. At my request, my GP ordered vit D blood level test & it was 50, in the middle of the optimal 40-60. And mentally I felt amazing. But will need further experimentation and testing to know how much I need to take on a regular basis to maintain that optimal level. I dropped back to the upper tolerable limit recommendation of 4k IU daily, and, a year later, I feel less well, but will need more testing to determine whether vit D levels have slipped or if something else awry.
Some ppl are taking 20k iu,even 40k iu
Ppl In this comments string
She should also mention that some people do not absorb Vit D well. I've been low on Vit D much of my life and there is nothing I can do. I've tried so many forms of Vit D supplementation to no avail.
It's always around 25-30.
I did have a few doctors tell me that Vit D is not as big a deal as we once thought. I don't agree, I believe It is very important as she says here.
Have tried upping magnesium and fat . Some people don’t absorb it at all unless they take it with fat
I'm in the same boat, I think.
I take a lot (of D) and still get sick at times and can't get better until I raise it through the roof. So I do, and I get well and have no side effects.
Try take with fat and some skin exposure and k 2
Same. I take 4000iu daily (for 2 years straight), am outside 4-5 days a week (landscaping), and eat a fully balanced diet. My levels stay at 31-39. I REALLY wanna see what I feel like at levels 70-80 (since folks say they notice a huge difference) lol, but my body won't get there.
By chance, do you have an Autoimmune Disorder?
What are the most effective/bioavailable supplements for people that don’t have a ton of access to sunlight?
Vitamin D3 is the best absorbed by your body, its what the body makes from sunlight. If you start to take it you should also take K2 and magnesium (im not sure which one is best but it looks like magnesium glycinate helps with depression, anxiety and high blood pressure) to help with the vitamin d absorption. Also take it with something fatty, it could be a meal, or a glass of milk.
So the calcium in my blood was high for some reason on my last blood test. I had started taking calcium citrate for osteopenia, but I stopped because of palpitations. I read not to take vitamin d if your calcium is high. Any insight please?
I think the answer is to take vitamin D3 with K2. Google the relationship - hope that helps.
Avoid calcium for now and take magnesium glycinate its opposite. You can research a supplement called Bone Support .
Unfortunately I'm censored here
I've seen this case multiple times. These could be the reasons :
1. Don't take vit D2 (studies have attributed D2 to higher blood calcium levels) , but take Vit D3 and if possible with vit K2.
2. The issue here is calcification of arteries if there's too much calcium in the blood. However, it's not possible to have too much calcium if you're drinking enough fluids (not water, hydration fluids i.e. water and electrolytes) throughout the day.
3.Low protein intake. Calcium is used up in digesting protein since protein digestion requires an acidic stomach, which the calcium provides. Up your protein.
4. Genetic condition or certain food allergies.
Vit D is important since literally every type of cell in our body has a receptor for it! Do not skip out on vit D3, Omega 3 from cod liver oil and K2. Hope this helps.
Additionally, K2 to help the D3 go into the bones, rather than the arteries, and Magnesium to make most effective use overall of the Vitamin D, however you are getting it. I am not a doctor, but from what I understand, many people who take Calcium supplements, probably wouldn’t need as much (if any) if they got enough K2. On a Balanced diet, Calcium is in many foods, it just won’t be used for bone health as much as it could without K.
I've seen recommendations for 5000iu D3 along with 100mcg of K2. I take almost every day.
Hi Rhonda, I know that I need to take magnesium along with my vitamin D3. However, I have COPD and magnesium causes me to have labored breathing at the least bit of exertion. Can you explain why? Can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Thanks for your informative video!
Because magnesium can cause respiratory depression, consult your dr about taking supplements
Mg relaxes muscles. Your lung accessory muscles may become too relaxed and inhibit proper lung inflation. Do you O2 sats go down, too? Wondering if conscientious slow deep breathing with activity would be doable for you while on Mg. Can you divide your Mg dose so it doesn’t affect your breathing?
Like the vid and the information I agree, but she’s a little yappy and all over the place wasn’t the easiest listen with headphones
I've come to understand the supplements that everyone should be taking are *Vitamin D, magnesium* and *iodine.* You mentioned *Omega 3s* also.
Dr. Taylor 🥰 here. If your vitamin D blood test reads low. It is much more likely that you are low in zinc and/or magnesium. If your doctor will run your active vitamin D, calcitriol blood test, it will likely not be low.
Plus to feel at least 10 years younger and stronger you need to charge up the body capacitors. Works for me. Hahaha.
Rhonda is amazing!! If we listen to her, she’ll save lives.
I take D3 for my peyronies disease.
I take 10,000 if its sunny and 15,000 if im not getting sun
How can you make 4 TIMES less of something...that ain't mathing
Need k2 with it
Wut about the study ➡️ (Low vitamin D levels linked to longevity, surprising study shows)
Just checked my D3 supplement bottle and it says that each pill has 4,000 iu (100mcg) and my cod liver oil capsules has 5 (it's either ug or yg, can't quite decipher it.) Is that enough for a man in his 60's? 🤔
enough but vit d needs to be taken with magnesium

Sunlight and Vitamin D
Shocking
These are the only 3 supplements I take 😅
Should we take with K2 ?
Yes
yes
10 at 10-20k IU per day.
Vitamin D and Zinc 👍
Do you have to take Vit K with D or is that a myth. Can you get the Vit k from food ?
d3 + k2 in one supplement is what you want
I am a bit disappointed that there is so much focus on supplementation with pills. The first thing people should do is try to get a little bit of sunshine every day if this is available. Here in the tropics, I do that every morning as this helps me with my circadian rhythm as well, but further from the equator, you will need to do it around noon. Next you should make sure you eat a healthy diet with plenty of fatty meat and fish, occasionally also liver. If that is not enough, you could try to supplement - by using a UVB light. Supplementation with pills is a last resort measure.
Depending on where you are there isn’t enough sunlight.
Only 1000 IU a day ??? Others recommend 10,000. Who to follow?
Meet half way & take 5000iu
Start with 1,000IU per 10 kg of body weight. Eg 8,000 for an 80kg or 175pound person
If 1,000 UI of Vitamin D raises serum levels by ~5 ng/ml, and to have an adequate blood serum levels, you need to be >= 30-60 ng/ml. That would translate to 6,000 - 12,000 UI.

Seems like a contradiction. So which is it? 6,000 - 12,000 UI/day or 4,000 UI/day?
@@HolisticPython All these are guides, but definitely you can take a LOT more than 4000IU. A good sunshine day gives you 25,000. See David Grimes work is my recommendation. What we know from labs is that mouse need 1IU per 10gm. Hence 1,000IU per 10kg is a very rough guide. You need blood tests of course. But nothing will go wrong by taking 4,000- 10,000 per day for 6 mths. See what bloods say at end of that.
@@HolisticPython also that 1,000IU equates to 5nmol is also a rough guide. But nonetheless almost nobody can be hurt by an extra 25nmol or 40nmol, hence another reason to try 5,000 to 10,000. People have literally taken 500,000iu per day harmlessly but you do need to have K2 and magnesium as well at right levels. Almost everyone should supplement Mg. For K2, simply buy your D3 premixed with K2 (mk 7).
Is 5k of D safe for someone with mild kidney disease ?
Every thing not absorbed is passed through Kidneys.That is a huge amount. You need to see a very high professional. So what you do is get a Kidney function test. And if the excretion is above 500 mg /litre . Your in a bit of trouble. I would be checking what you are taking and if the kidneys store it. If in doubt take the 5k then get a reading of Vitamin D in Urine. It's your life !
I've tried a variety of vitamin d supplements but they make my ears ring. I found a research article somewhere on the internet that mentioned something about tinnitus and vitamin d supplements so I know it's definitely a thing. My levels have been horribly low for years and I have osteoporosis now I think because of it. Can anyone recommend a good brand for vitamin d?
I’m in the same boat as you are,… would lOve a preferred source as well …
Is it really important to take k2 with it ?
Some say take your k2 like once a week or so. Others say magnesium is more important.
I take k2 daily, once in a while. Then when I run out I give it a break. I get my mag daily through the skin. Always.
Isn’t it really important to take K2 with it? Wonder why she didn’t discuss it.
I would love to give Dr Rhonda Patrick some vitamin D ❤
So a white guy living in tropical area has hit the jackpot
I find rather interesting that the Women Health Initiatives didn't find marked benefits to Vitamin D supplementation, despite being a decade long study with the statistical power to boot.
How long in the sun, and how often? Another basic question unanswered...but take your supplemental pills "you guys."
15-30 minutes a day. If you get a tan in the summer your body stores the vitamin D and utilizes it for months.
Endocrine Society recommends 60 to 80 mg is there sweet spot!
Vitamin D is in eggs, milk, tuna and red meat right? So wouldn't people get enough of Vitamin D if they ate a normal diet like this?
Most people would. But a lot of people just don't absorb/ retain Vit D from diet, sun exposure and even supplementing. I take 4,000iu a day (for years), am outside very often, eat a fully balanced diet and my levels don't go higher than 31-39 🤷🏽♀️
Promoting a rodenticide for human health. Great work doc.
I love Rhonda, but why do we have to sort through 100 podcasts to determine the optimal daily protocol for vitamins? Can one of them just write it out and share it, please. 😂
It's really complicated. People react differently. The only way is to get your own blood work done and look at your markers.
Monitor My Health told me my vitamin D levels were 'excessive' at 163...
Check your “active” vitamin D3 1,25OH D3. It is what your kidneys convert from what the liver has converted. Watch Dr. Eduardo Beltran’s videos. He is a vitamin D expert in Brazil.
How much do you take?
@@theancientsancients1769 I'd been taking 4,000 ius a day for a couple of years now. Maybe the issue is that since I went carnivore I'm eating a load of pastured eggs every day and I've a feeling they're like triple the vitamin D strength of eggs from chickens that haven't seen sunlight, you know? So I've ditched the supplementation. I live in northern Ireland and basically never get strong enough sunlight here to move the needle. I'll test again in 6 months and see if there's any reduction.
About 100 is considered to be safe, above that you get into the unknown Zone what is increasing danger the higher above that that it goes. Probably not wise to have it above their continuously for a long period
@@theancientsancients1769 I took 4000ius with K2 for a couple of years. I'm in northern Ireland, so I'm never exposed to the kind of sunshine that really moves the needle, even in summer. I think the issue might be that I've been carnivore for a year now and eating a lot of pasture-raised eggs each day, and oily fish. The eggs are pretty high in vitamin D, so I've been getting between 2000-3000ius from my diet most days. I've stopped supplementing now and I'll re-test in 6 months to see how things have changed.
I take tons of Vitamin D capsules.. yet still my Doctor speculates that I’m deficient in it…
Vitamin D, from the sun on our skin and eyes right? Live near the water? Walk every other morning and get the skip, more Vitamin D. Dogs love it too.
No vitamin d produced in the morning
Rhonda is great but it’s something new every week lol
I take 15k a day, which keeps me at about 80.
