I’ve been taking 10,000 IU Vit D for years (along w/K2) snd my blood levels are ideal. The RDA is ridiculously low for most people.
10000 a day for years? Have you ever had your vitamin D blood level checked? You must be well over 90 blood level?
I have taken 10,000 units daily for years also. My recent lab test showed I was in the upper quarter of normal. I am a 300 lb man and do not get a lot of sunshine. I also take magnesium and K-2 MK7. My point is people are different and you don't know how much is enough until you have your levels checked.
@@Hanover-ek4jy I test my Vit D levels annually. Last time, it was 64 ng/mL. I’m a petite woman and it seems higher levels of Vit D supplementation are just fine for me. I never recommend 10,000 IU daily to anyone without regularly testing. We are all so unique.
I'd been taking 3,000 for years and then upped it to 5,000 and have finally got into the range mentioned as good in this video. So I agree - many people need more than the RDA recommendations.
I took 10k IU every day for multiple years and my vit D was 70 after 3 years.
Glad to listen and see you again Dr. Mike. Good and useful information. ☺️🙏🏼
Great information Dr. Thank you. We appreciate you
At the recommendation of my asthma doc, I’ve been taking 5,000 IUs of D3 for years.
Bravo Doctor, getting the word out just in time. Plus that paper on NJM was such a blow to consumption to Vit D.
I've been in the medical lab for nearly 20 years. Docs don't check D very often, but when they do I usually see it in the 12 - 22 ng/ml range, occasionally under 10. I think D should be checked more often given it's importance. I try to shoot for 60 personally and I take it with Mg (malate) and K1/K2.
It just blows me away wouldn’t that suggest our reference ranges are just to high
@@iamthefiremanjj No, it means very few get enough vitamin D
Thank you...
Must take K2 with Vitamin D to help move calcium out of soft tissue and to where it's needed.
In addition to lab tests, there are home tests to check Vitamin D levels (send a blood sample to a lab).
From everything I've read, you are exactly right. I hope Dr. Hansen discusses this in another video. Thanks.
For a correct metabolism of vitamin D, in addition to K2, a small dose of vitamin A is necessary, all together they play a team game.
Canadian doctor Kate Rheaume Bleue explained this well in her book on vitamin K2
600 IU is absolutely laughable
Yeah he was pretty credible until he got to that part and I'm like dude are you serious?
Thanks
I avoid doctors .... but doc mike is my kind of doctor ....
Dr Hansen, could you do a video of iron deficiency.. recently my mom, cousin and myself (all female) have been prescribed Ferrous Sulfate for 3 months. …
We are all very consistent with yearly check-ups.. and it’s known women have low iron levels…
we thought it was odd we all got prescribed iron since we think it shouldn’t be a concern… not sure.. would be great to hear your point of view. Thanks!
Succinctly presented, Doc.
VITAMIN D. TRUTH.... (3 year old video)plus this one makes it the best information on this topic which is a great confusion because of various unscientific videos on CZcams. The dangers of excess levels are mostly subclinical and a possible reversal is often difficult or perhaps impossible. The ONLY REASON for low serum levels on the maintenance dose (after achieving the desired levels in case of initial deficiency) is the intake of the supplement in water which should rather be with FAT {milk, butter, coconut oil, curd etc...} Anything in excess is dangerous.
Wonderful explanation Sir !
600 IUs is ridicoulous. With about 8000 IUs daily D3 oil drops I managed to push my D from 22µg/l to 53 in 10 months. I am going to reduce my dosis when I reach 80 or so, but imagine I had only used 600IUs. I would be where I was before.
Getting a wee bit of sunshine daily is a good thing.
I live in South Sweden, I need 100 IU per kg to stay at 125 nmol/L. Blood tests is needed to get the right dos.
I was deficient in D when taking the RDA for years and needed 4000 IU to get into normal levels year-round.
I live in Scotland and started taking a modest 25 mcg of Vitamin D during autumn and winter several years ago. It seems to work for me as my nails grow at a very fast rate and are tough as steel.
Girders
I had a blood test years ago for my vit D level; it was 3 & I live in So Cal.
Do you have any symptoms
@@iamthefiremanjj I didn’t. I was having a trigger finger issue & my dr knew the orthopedic doctor would want it done.
@@youthrevisitedagain I’m happy your okay :)
I also suspect that Vit D deficiency is rife in our pets too as many (birds, cats, dogs & reptiles) spend way too much time inside. Also applies to rugged horses.
No need to suspect. GOOD pet food supplements it. Being covered in fur, scales or feathers is great at blocking the rays.
actually animals bodies, despite being covered in feathers, fur or scales have adapted to take in Vit D - they would have not survived otherwise lol. good pet food comes from the wild, not a bag or can!
I have vitamin d I am falling asleep all the time am very scared because I feel so tired I was goinge off in a cafe do you think I should see my doctor I can not understand how I got it my joints are so painful to
5000ius is my sweet spot 👍
How do you know? Are you testing for your blood levels?
@@RandomDudeOne Well for starters, in my case it's all about feel. For instance 1000 iu is good starting dose but eventually certain stuff impacts d3 levels like cloudy weather and etc. But if you don't feel good on your d3 dosage you have play around with it. Keep in mind the administration in which I use my sublingual gland under my tongue. This is one of the most powerful vitamins with alot of benefits
IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR ALL: Doctor, the dose you recommend here is way lower than the amount in each capsule of Vit D bought at the store, at least what I've seen.. The minimum I've seen is approx 1000 IU and up to 10,000 IU per capsule but you recommend 600 IU ?
I take 6000 a day and test at 50. Best thing to do is start around 5000/day and test after a few months to see where you are at. Adjust from there. You want to be around 50/60
I take 6000 IU a day of D3 and my levels hover around 50, but I am never outside/in the sun. I work nights is why.
K2mk7.. must take with D3 supplements 5K iu or higher..
Close, but no cigar. You need a mix of K2 MK4 and K2 MK7, with more emphasis on the MK4. Pregnant and nursing mothers especially need MK4, as MK7 isn't transferred across the placenta or in breastmilk. Ideal is around 300-1000 MK4, and 60-100 MK7, all trans.
@@stanj7223 Mk7 is converted to MK4 in the body.
@@ragingoracle6239 Pretty sure you're dead wrong about that, especially because of your initial comment. However, I'm not a biochemist. MK-4 is rapidly taken up by the body, MK-7 slowly (if at all) based on the serum concentration results I'd read.
@@stanj7223 look it up
@@ragingoracle6239 I only found two papers at NIH that suggested MK-4 could be converted to MK-7. However, the 72-hour serum half-life of MK-7 says that it's not done efficiently, if at all. MK-4 is absorbed within an hour or two of intake.
4:34 the cheapest and most reliable method to be highly confident that you have adequate vitamin D, and other nutrients, is to take a daily supplement. They have about 15 to 20 nutrients in them, and unless you are extremely careful with your diet, your diet is likely deficient in one of them.
Taking a Vit D test is the only reliable method to know if you have adequate Vit D levels.
600 iu or even 800 iu is laughable
My Vitamin D numbers.. Started taking 2000 iu daily in March. Surprised about the latest dip even though we finished summer.
March 2023: 20
June 2023: 39
October 2023: 37

if they had k2 mk7 they would be fine
The mini that he sad will help rickets that's about it. I think he needs to go do some reading and find out the new table has changed and it's up to 100 is normal and the best is to be as close as you can to 100
How much is "too much" Vitamin D? I'm under the impression that up to 4K IU daily supplementation is considered safe.
Very rare to achieve toxic levels in an adult. And if a person is obese, they require more d3. As every cell in the body has a receptor for vitamin d. It is more like a hormone than a vitamin and to protect immunity a fatter person needs more. Most people with pneumonia and/or severe covid are found to be deficient in d3. Take a minimum of 1000 iu in the morning and 12 hours later as prescribed by my doctor. That achieves an even level in my blood.
Anyone taking Vitamin D supplements needs to test their blood levels regularly so they know how much to take.
Dr John Cambell put out a long post summarising the research. No evidence for the calcium claim. In some cases they were giving 50,000 IU dose
Back at taking 50k daily for a bit, then maybe every couple of days, in the afternoon when pth is low. I found it causes no problems (like leaching calcium, my teeth immediately signal it) so far as long as I take the rda or so 1.0g calcium with phosphorus and magnesium, shortly after the d.
❤👍
So is vit d inferior to vit d3??
The price difference is shown when I try to buy d3 , more expensive!!
His referencedvRDA seems far to low. I believe that's one of the things that contributed to so many people dying during covid. US r Davis just too low. I don't understand this. We need to do more research I take 5000 IU per day in my D3 numbers 51. Just Thoughts.
Vitamin D3 and
K2 type MK7 and
magnesium glycinate and
zinc
togerher!
Why zinc aswell?
Sadly this video is a waste of time. If I had studies and other references that back up the claims I would give it some credit. I would especially like to see the study that shows a light colored skin person with a tan can have low vitamin D because I figure my body knows how to limit the vitamin D I need.
Oh dear, how did our ancestors ever survive without pharmaceuticals?
Especially the Eskimo tribes that lived so far from the equator. No food contains vitD but they managed to survive 🤦
Yes but how old did they get, and especially how well and healthy did they feel?
I checked a little bit in Bing AI they didn't live to long it seems when comparing 🤦🏻 I bet they didnt feel super good either.
"According to the web search results, the life expectancy of Eskimos 100 years ago was not very high, especially compared to the Canadian average. One source estimates that the Inuit life expectancy would have been around 60 years in different regions of Canada in 1921."
@@dbattar2400 the life expectancy varied by 60 years?
@@dbattar2400 when I replied yesterday I forgot that my comment on vitD and eskimos was sarcastic. 1 They can get D from the sun in the summer. 2 The do get it from the food. I appreciate you checking the great AI and sharing this. However I didn't see what the difference in expected age was. If you are interested in D and willing to dig further I have several videos , with studies, I can share.
@steinshaw2490
1. Yes they could get it in the summer, but vitamin Ds half life from the sun is 15 days. Which means two months after summer their levels would be very low.
2. Vitamin d is way too low in food (only good one being salmon but they needed to eat a lot of it).
Sorry I cut Bings answer short but it compared eskimos 100 years ago to have around 60 years while canadians had 71 years. Of course this is due to a lot of factors and not just vitamin d. But I believe that their low vitamin d levels had some effect at least for longivity but a lot of effect on physical and mental health.
@@dbattar2400 Inters ting. I'd like to learn more about the half life. Maybe you are talking vitD2? Isn't vitD3 a pre hormone and the body makes it into something else? And if I eat canned salmon older than 15 days it will lose half of it's vitD and another 15 days it will be one qtr of the origial amount? I find it hard to believe the avg age in 1920s was in the 70s so I would question the AI on that.
Yes Vit D extremely important
It would've been nice if you would've gave more of a realistic amount, people should take an even maybe see what some of the blood level should be. I know it's different with all people, but there is a guidelines for what your blood level of vitamin D should be, and I know you need to get a check to see how much you should take but everybody knows the RDA recommendations are a joke.
