Please if you could one day do a video about DHEA. I see many people taking TRT and not realizing that an effect is a drastic drop in their DHEA-S levels. Thank you!
Hi, some Magnesium advice please. I had a very low blood serum D3 level of 21 a year ago. My doc put me on 10,000 IU D3 daily, tabs that I crush with my teeth & absorb under my tongue. Most recent serum D3 level was in the mid-40s, and I'm continuing the 10,000 IUs D3. With the high D3 intake, I understand I need Magnesium in order to minimize kidney stones. Unfortunately I am poor & must rely on my insurance to cover costs, and oxide is the only Mg form that is covered. Knowing that oxide isn't a more absorbable form as others, how much Mg Oxide should be taken to have the same absorbable equivalent as 400 mg of Mg Glycinate?
I've been taking 20,000iu of vitamin d for about 2 years now. I'm 73 and I believe it has helped me a lot. I haven't ever had my d levels tested. Few months ago I started doing deadlifts because I read it's a good exercise for the back,spine and bones. At my weight of 170 I'm able to do 300 pound deadlift.
The really important question here is, are you single? I'm in my 60's and couldn't resist asking. Gotta smile where you can, yes? Happiest of Holidays to you!
I absolutely gain so much knowledge from your Videos they are short and soul informative you get right to the point no BS! I am calling your office to schedule an appointment with you!
Occasional testing and deciding on the maintenance dose is the only answer. Taking the tablet with fat only gives good results and hyper vitaminosis gives unexplained troubles which is often difficult to diagnose. The function of magnesium in conversion of vitamin d to its active form is the highlight of this message. Thank you Sir.
vitamin d3 recommended daily intake should be at least 10000IU especially if you live in the northern hemisphere....there is an abundance of evidence that shows taking high doses of vit d3 will help fight covid 19....this should be taken with vit k2 and also zinc....magnesium also be increased as you quite rightly point out
True! I'd been taking 5,000iu per day and got my level checked. My doc said to go up to at least 10k which I did, but still wasn't enough. So, now I'm up to 15k and hope to start to feel a difference. I'm in Colorado and am outside a lot, but it still isn't enough UV to get what I need in D3 levels.
@@chinookvalley you will not get enough UVB the sun has to be at a certain point and you have to pretty much get naked and be in the sun 30 mins. In the winter time you will never absorb any Vitmain D. Supplementing is the best option. Magnesium is so helpful. I filled up with in 2 weeks and reached 60ng/ml within a month. Between Jan I was at 33 ng and Nov I only got up to around 40ng/ml because I didn’t take magnesium. I also take K2. Once you know how much your level is there is a calculated how much you can take within 10-30 days and then it tells you once you reached it how much is your regular intake.

Thank you so much for your videos. I am 54 and just found out I have bone density loss osteopenia. I am increasing my vitamin D3 to 5000IU and I want to know what is the best type of Magnesium to take along with the D3. You mention glycinate, citrate, threonate, and can I take more than one kind at a time? thanks, cathy
BioOptimizers sells a full spectrum magnesium product. It contains all seven kinds of magnesium. Recommended daily dose is 2 capsules or 500mg, according to the label. I take it with my Pure Synergy D3+K2 product. Pure Synergy is certified organic and non-GMO. No synthetic Chinese chemicals like you’ll find in all of the chain drug stores.
Hearing mixed messages on when to take D3. Is it best at night? Or AM? K2 needed? Calcium? Magnesium? I take Magnesium at night in CALM most often. Its Carbonate form. I have magnesium Biglycinate unopened currently, should I instead take it with my D3? Will Betaine help with absorption? I’m trying it now before meals due to GI issues and reflux.
Some get better sleep when they take the vitamin D before bed, others like me get worse sleep. You have to try. I'd always take a little bit of k2 with my vitamin D. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by 20 (that's the number I heard a couple of times) and the k2 puts it from the soft tissue into the bone.
If they're fat soluble take them with a fatty food, such as butter, milk or olive oil. Zinc and other trace minerals can have a tard time being taken up if taken with fatty meals so better to take them separately with a glass of water and an apple. (Apples are high in Quercetin which helps increase Zinc uptake)
Magnesium for the WIN. My body chemistry absolutely loves this mineral, magnesium!! Helps tremendously with cramping or feeling edgy and jumpy! Also helps promote deep and restorative sleep. It's just so soothing in every way!😉
Does magnesium help with cramping at night, @@gloriamaryhaywood2217? I take 400mg magnesium before bed, but it doesn't help. Taking 300 - 500 mg potassium helps though.
@@KenJackson_US You may be taking a form of magnesium that is NOT easily absorbed by your body? Do a bit of research by using Google to find a good quality form of magnesium. There are many different forms of this mineral. Magnesium oxide, for instance, is a common one and is cheap, BUT it's like asking your body to dissolve frigging rocks!! Try to get one that says it is bio-available. It will probably say it is chealeted. Anyways it's easy enough to find a lot of info about all the different options of magnesium and which ones work best in relaxing the nerves and muscles!! I bet you feel a lot better once you start taking a quality form of this wonderful mineral!!😊
I take magnesium glycinate, @@gloriamaryhaywood2217. I switched to it on recommendation that it would calm my restless leg which tends to twitch just as I'm drifting off to sleep. Very annoying. The magnesium glycinate works for that. Also, it's easy to tell if I'm taking too much because, as Dr. Sung noted, too much causes loose stools. I wonder if I'm not getting enough sodium. I salt my food thoroughly, but I'm not eating hardly any processed foods, which are very high in sodium.
So Dr., I take 400mg MAGNESIUM at bedtime; my vit D is taken in the morning with proper food, however, cause ictaje my Magnesium at bedtime; what do I take in the Morning with my Vit D to supplement Magnesium with my Vit D? How much MAGNESIUM do i need to take in the Morning with 2500-5000 Vit D?
Heartburn- I've been taking Vit D for the last year- and lately doing Magnesium before bed- and it seems to help sleep. I've rarely had heartburn in my lifetime, but lately it has been pretty harsh. I wonder if it's from the MAG, or just from the extra Vitamin loads I've been adding.
I seem to get heartburn with most of the vitamin d3 supplements but since switching to the Thorne brand I have none at all. Maybe look into the ingredients and see if any of those could trigger heartburn. I find I can’t take a lot of the Now brand due to certain ingredients they use.
I take a tablespoon of Bragg's Acid cidar vinegar with the vitamins. Stops acid reflux and helps vitamins to be absorbed. The lie is you have too much stomach acid, older you get the less. Not enough cannot absorb important vitamins. Learned this from Dr. ERIC Berg youtube.
Is there a functional ratio to aim for between 25(OH)-D and 1,25 (OH)-D...just because it might be optimal in the blood doesn't mean it is optimally active. Therefore, what have you currently accepted as an optimal level of 1,25 (OH)-D? Awesome thank you.
Good question. I thought for sure he would cover that. I take magnesium glycinate, which helps settle my restless leg from kicking and waking me up just as I fall asleep.
@@eleanorday1854 Can't advise about taking vitamins? The whole point of the video is to advise about which one to take. I'm just asking which type of magnesium activates vitamin D the best?

@ I wonder if taking digestive enzyme will work instead of ox bile?
Před 2 lety
@@henryhendrika5689 every nutritional video I've seen says you need ox bile. There's never been a mention of enzymes being of any value trying to take the place of it.
If the gallbladder is removed you need to replace bile from the gallbladder. So that is why you need to take Ox bile as to help the body take up the fats and to emulsify them as well.
I hope you can stick to using I.U. (International Units) instead of ng/ml because nearly all supplements sold in the market are expressed in I.U. and it's cumbersome to do this conversion in your head.
if it was that low it could be from medication. Ask your doctor. I take a medication that causes D to not absorb too much. So I have to take very high amounts.
Aldo, most of the times taking vitamin D3 quickly depletes your magnesium reserves and can cause the symptoms of a full blown magnesium deficiency. Palpitations is one of those hallmark magnesium deficiency symptoms. Give D3 a try paired with some good quality easy to absorb magnesium supplement (Mg chelate or bisglycinate).
@Aldo S I would suggest that you pair your Vitamin D3 together with Magnesium and K2 and Potassium. You should take variants that are ending in -ate and those variants has good bioavailabilty and good absorbtion. Magnesiumcitrate is really good and has good bioavailabilty. Per each 10 000 IU D3 you should take 100 mg of K2. Both variants Vitamin K helps to push excess Calcium out of your blood to among other places the skeleton. But K2 is doing the better job. You can try larger doses of Magnesium your body will react to a too large dose with diahorrea, runny feaces. It will stop more or less as soon as you lower th dose. You should add Potassium(citrate) to the mix. You can take up 4700 mg Potassium per day. Try to get the majority of your Potassium via leafy green vegetables and avokado as food. I live far North in Scandinavia and have dark winter and I am both diabetic and have alletgies and asthma. I take upwards 800-900 mg Magnesiumcitrate and roughly the same amount of Potassiumcitrate, 100 mg K2 and wintertime 15 000 IU D3 and summertime 6-10 000 IU D3. The D3 I take made from vegan source of lav (Swedish). The brand is Helhetshälsa. I suspect that your reactions to the D3 variants was some kind of allergic reaction since most D3 is made from sheep wools fat. I am allergic to that D3. So that is why I am using the vegan D3. I am a type 2 diabetic and I have gotten good help to find this mix from my ND and I have verified it by reading a lot and gaining more knowledge from the CZcams-channels of Dr Sten Ekberg and Dr Eric Berg. Both are good at explaining and do informative videos. Good Luck.

I think you mean boron but some take it via Borax...even though Borax says not to ingest it. Apparently some say it's safe, though. You can also take boron supplements.
@@johnp7739 Natriumtetraborat. Safer than salt and much safer than sugar. You can eat up to 300 g per day on the long run and only have fertility problems after month as the body exudes it like vitamin C. This is the only scientifically proved result tested on rats. But then ... who wants to have kids with 50 when arthritis hits : ) Supplement will not have the amount to compensate for the existing lack in soil and vegetables.
THIS is what I mean .. : )
I’ve been taking vitamin d in the morning with my coffee bc I use real cream in it. (Ok actually I like my cup of cream with a little coffee splashed in it for taste 😆) Is that effective or should I do something else like a spoonful of Greek yogurt with my pill?
Much better with some food or at least yogurt, becouse vit D needs fats for absorption.
don't take coffee with supplements. take coffee 1 hour prier or after.
coffee limits the absorption and makes you excrete minerals and vitamins.
Hormone D3 along with K-2. You tube (Doctor Westin Price DDS). Activator X was starting point in becoming K-2 OR (Dr John Witcombe) K-2 You tube videos
Thank you so much for your videos. I am 54 and just found out I have bone density loss osteopenia. I am increasing my vitamin D3 to 5000IU and I want to know what is the best type of Magnesium to take along with the D3. You mention glycinate, citrate, threonate, and can I take more than one kind at a time? thanks, cathy
I have a separate video in magnesium if you want to watch in the description of the video.
@@DrJinSung thanks yes I also did watch that one just undecided which magnesium is right for me but I'm leaning towards glycinate
K2 and Manganese both assist with placing calcium in the bones and should be taken with D3.
BioOptimizers sells a full spectrum magnesium product. It contains all seven kinds of magnesium. Recommended daily dose is 2 capsules or 500mg, according to the label. I take it with my Pure Synergy D3+K2 product. Pure Synergy is certified organic and non-GMO. No synthetic Chinese chemicals like you’ll find in all of the chain drug stores.
@@stevemaurer9514 thank you I'll check it out
Hearing mixed messages on when to take D3. Is it best at night? Or AM? K2 needed? Calcium? Magnesium? I take Magnesium at night in CALM most often. Its Carbonate form. I have magnesium Biglycinate unopened currently, should I instead take it with my D3? Will Betaine help with absorption? I’m trying it now before meals due to GI issues and reflux.
Some get better sleep when they take the vitamin D before bed, others like me get worse sleep. You have to try.
I'd always take a little bit of k2 with my vitamin D. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by 20 (that's the number I heard a couple of times) and the k2 puts it from the soft tissue into the bone.
I took Vit D and Magnesium and had an allergic reaction. It gave me an anxiety attack.
Thanks for the heads up i Will try and sepparate mine first. Dr berg said you can take it together OR seperate (2 to 3 hours apart)
Should these be taken am or pm?
Am.
Do you recommend taking supplements in the morning vs. at night? Does it make a difference?
If they're fat soluble take them with a fatty food, such as butter, milk or olive oil. Zinc and other trace minerals can have a tard time being taken up if taken with fatty meals so better to take them separately with a glass of water and an apple. (Apples are high in Quercetin which helps increase Zinc uptake)
Magnesium is actually involved in more than 650 enzymatic functions.
Yes, some resources say over 300 and some say over 600. I might have to look into the verbiage to clarify. Thanks for watching.
Magnesium for the WIN. My body chemistry absolutely loves this mineral, magnesium!!
Helps tremendously with cramping or feeling edgy and jumpy! Also helps promote deep and restorative sleep. It's just so soothing in every way!😉
Does magnesium help with cramping at night, @@gloriamaryhaywood2217? I take 400mg magnesium before bed, but it doesn't help. Taking 300 - 500 mg potassium helps though.
@@KenJackson_US You may be taking a form of magnesium that is NOT easily absorbed by your body? Do a bit of research by using Google to find a good quality form of magnesium. There are many different forms of this mineral. Magnesium oxide, for instance, is a common one and is cheap, BUT it's like asking your body to dissolve frigging rocks!! Try to get one that says it is bio-available. It will probably say it is chealeted. Anyways it's easy enough to find a lot of info about all the different options of magnesium and which ones work best in relaxing the nerves and muscles!! I bet you feel a lot better once you start taking a quality form of this wonderful mineral!!😊
I take magnesium glycinate, @@gloriamaryhaywood2217. I switched to it on recommendation that it would calm my restless leg which tends to twitch just as I'm drifting off to sleep. Very annoying. The magnesium glycinate works for that.
Also, it's easy to tell if I'm taking too much because, as Dr. Sung noted, too much causes loose stools.
I wonder if I'm not getting enough sodium. I salt my food thoroughly, but I'm not eating hardly any processed foods, which are very high in sodium.
...because it's very important to do this @4:35 "in order to enhance viral replication" :)
So Dr., I take 400mg MAGNESIUM at bedtime; my vit D is taken in the morning with proper food, however, cause ictaje my Magnesium at bedtime; what do I take in the Morning with my Vit D to supplement Magnesium with my Vit D? How much MAGNESIUM do i need to take in the Morning with 2500-5000 Vit D?
splitted into 2; 200mg with D & another 200mg at bedtime. hopefully your D came with K2 MK7 too..
Heartburn- I've been taking Vit D for the last year- and lately doing Magnesium before bed- and it seems to help sleep. I've rarely had heartburn in my lifetime, but lately it has been pretty harsh. I wonder if it's from the MAG, or just from the extra Vitamin loads I've been adding.
raking your supplements with food may help. you may wish to switch to a sublingual spray or liquid vitamins and supplements. See if that helps!
I seem to get heartburn with most of the vitamin d3 supplements but since switching to the Thorne brand I have none at all. Maybe look into the ingredients and see if any of those could trigger heartburn. I find I can’t take a lot of the Now brand due to certain ingredients they use.
K2 and Manganese both assist with placing calcium in the bones and should be taken with D3.
I take a tablespoon of Bragg's Acid cidar vinegar with the vitamins. Stops acid reflux and helps vitamins to be absorbed.
The lie is you have too much stomach acid, older you get the less. Not enough cannot absorb important vitamins. Learned this from Dr. ERIC Berg youtube.
What's Taiki waititi doing here?
Is there a functional ratio to aim for between 25(OH)-D and 1,25 (OH)-D...just because it might be optimal in the blood doesn't mean it is optimally active. Therefore, what have you currently accepted as an optimal level of 1,25 (OH)-D? Awesome thank you.
What type of magnesium should one take with vitamin D? There are many different kinds.
Good question. I thought for sure he would cover that. I take magnesium glycinate, which helps settle my restless leg from kicking and waking me up just as I fall asleep.
Look in the description for link to the magnesium video
@@DrJinSung Thank you, I watched the magnesium video and you don't mention which type of magnesium is best to take with vitamin D.
I’m sure he can’t advise. We have to make our own decisions from the information provided.
@@eleanorday1854 Can't advise about taking vitamins? The whole point of the video is to advise about which one to take. I'm just asking which type of magnesium activates vitamin D the best?
Sounds very complicated
Thank you! I had my levels at 18 -23 "Most of my life" and I had my levels at 130+ for 1 month of taking 70,000 iu per day. I didn't feel any different at 24 than I did into the 130's. My experiment lasted a month. What differences should people feel ?
@Sweep The Leg You should have much more energy. You will notice the effect if you take Vitamin D right before you go to sleep but this is not advised.
In addition you will notice how much milder viruses are when you catch them.
@@ald1050 Thank you for your response! I'll have to try this. Right now I keep my levels roughly 24-25. This I can attest to, I caught a cold it really was gone in 2 days but I also used the sauna so that didn't hurt also.
@@SweepTheLeg2023 I caught covid19 even though I was double jabbed. I took 50k ius per day when ill (up from 20k ius per day) and my symptoms were mild and cleared up in 5 days.
@@ald1050 That's Great! Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience, that is Great to know. I just been doing 2k per day. What are your levels at if you don't mind me asking?
@@ald1050 Did u had experience any post covid side effects ? Like chest pain / bad cough / allergies / gastric issues
Hi. Which magnesium please?
Glycinate for overall function, Citrate if you have constipation, Threonate if you want to impact the brain more. Just in general use I like glycinate. Best, Dr. Jin
@@DrJinSung Many thanks
Because of climate change, there are talks on geo engineering and sun dimming, what do you think the effects would be on vitamin D uptake
Negligible, at most.
The name for great supplements is Dr Berg sorry for my fingers failure lol
I guess I don’t understand what I would need to do differently if my gallbladder has been removed. Not take as much?
@ I wonder if taking digestive enzyme will work instead of ox bile?
@@henryhendrika5689 every nutritional video I've seen says you need ox bile. There's never been a mention of enzymes being of any value trying to take the place of it.
If the gallbladder is removed you need to replace bile from the gallbladder. So that is why you need to take Ox bile as to help the body take up the fats and to emulsify them as well.
@@ewawiman9007 thanks so much . Really appreciate it
latest blood 180 nmol/l
I hope you can stick to using I.U. (International Units) instead of ng/ml because nearly all supplements sold in the market are expressed in I.U. and it's cumbersome to do this conversion in your head.
IU and mcg are measurements for the supplement and ng/mL is a measurement in the blood. It’s confusing. Best, Dr Jin
If you take vitamin D3 you also have a need for zinc. Ask Dr Campbell on CZcams.
My vitamin d level was 26 so I’ve been doing 5,000 iu d3 with k2 but my k2 is mk4 is that a good one?
Ask your doctor?
u shiould take d3 10000 iu per day for 1month and then reduce to 5000 iu
if it was that low it could be from medication. Ask your doctor. I take a medication that causes D to not absorb too much. So I have to take very high amounts.
Take MK7 type of Vit K2 not 4 with Vit D3. Happy Holidays!
@@ariseal i did he told me my vit d levels are fine i didnt listen tho because i know better
When I use magnesium it opens my sinuses and causes me to have a lot of mucus production. Is this normal in people or am I just a weirdo lol!
I wish. I take a chelated magnesium and it does nothing for my sinuses.
CSBundles we are all weirdos!!
Unfortunately vit D3 makes me sick. Thirst, palpitations, joint pain. I tried many types and brands.
Aldo, most of the times taking vitamin D3 quickly depletes your magnesium reserves and can cause the symptoms of a full blown magnesium deficiency. Palpitations is one of those hallmark magnesium deficiency symptoms. Give D3 a try paired with some good quality easy to absorb magnesium supplement (Mg chelate or bisglycinate).
@@gaborszabo5561 does it mean we should take D3 together with magnesium?
@@henryhendrika5689 Yes. Whenever you take vit D3, take some easy to absorb magnesium supplement as well.
@Aldo S I would suggest that you pair your Vitamin D3 together with Magnesium and K2 and Potassium. You should take variants that are ending in -ate and those variants has good bioavailabilty and good absorbtion. Magnesiumcitrate is really good and has good bioavailabilty.
Per each 10 000 IU D3 you should take 100 mg of K2. Both variants Vitamin K helps to push excess Calcium out of your blood to among other places the skeleton. But K2 is doing the better job.
You can try larger doses of Magnesium your body will react to a too large dose with diahorrea, runny feaces. It will stop more or less as soon as you lower th dose. You should add Potassium(citrate) to the mix. You can take up 4700 mg Potassium per day. Try to get the majority of your Potassium via leafy green vegetables and avokado as food.
I live far North in Scandinavia and have dark winter and I am both diabetic and have alletgies and asthma. I take upwards 800-900 mg Magnesiumcitrate and roughly the same amount of Potassiumcitrate, 100 mg K2 and wintertime 15 000 IU D3 and summertime 6-10 000 IU D3. The D3 I take made from vegan source of lav (Swedish). The brand is Helhetshälsa. I suspect that your reactions to the D3 variants was some kind of allergic reaction since most D3 is made from sheep wools fat. I am allergic to that D3. So that is why I am using the vegan D3.
I am a type 2 diabetic and I have gotten good help to find this mix from my ND and I have verified it by reading a lot and gaining more knowledge from the CZcams-channels of Dr Sten Ekberg and Dr Eric Berg. Both are good at explaining and do informative videos.
Good Luck.
@@gaborszabo5561 how much magnesium we should take along with vit D? Thanks a lot for your response .
Can't spell assist.....damn. MED SCHOOL must have got easy.

You always present good information but, your hand clapping at the start of your videos is loud & irritating.
Well, by all means, let the good dr adjust his presentation just for you
There IS a fast forward button you know....

Loose the medical vest.. you don't need too prove your qualifications bro
I've taken 10000 IU a day with k2. mag and A for two years and my levels have never exceeded 86 ng/ml
silkhead44 i also take 10,000 iu a day and have for the last 7 or 8 yrs. My levels are usually in the low to mid 90's, checked yearly.
