- MamaNatural.com 🔅 I'm not a fan of supplements. I take a few (post/video coming) but I prefer to get my nutrients from food. Vitamin K is the exception. Here's why...

![Why I Take Vitamin K2 & Vitamin D Every Day! [2024 Studies Update]](/img/tr.png)
I’ve been taking K2 along with D3 for about 6 months. My dental hygienist was amazed that I had no plaque at my last checkup. Also, my blood pressure is now lower. It really works!
That’s AWESOME!!
Same thing here.
Which supplement you were taken plz mention
Yes, my teeth, gums, and even eyesight really improved from diet changes. I always ate healthy, but I started doing no sugar and seven cups of (mostly organic) veg a day and more fats(avocado, coconut oil, cheeses like brie). I likely did three cups of veg before, less fat, and way more gluten free sugar treats that my body collected in my middle and on my teeth. I take D and K2 and a few other supplements too. For me the most helpful one is actually daily nutritional yeast and also collagen. Hard to say what helps with what, I just know I am doing well. I pray everyone reading this does well too. May God bless you with good advice and good health! He cares.
@@sumairsoomro3071 it's K2 and D3 supplements. 🙏❤️🙏
73 yrs of and taking high dose vitamin D3 4000 IUs along with vitamin K2-mk 100 mg For 6 months now. Wish some one had informed me about the benefits years ago.
It’s SO beneficial!
Recent studies show high doses of omega3 can cause Atrialfribulation. Becareful.
@@Noor-jw2tn can I ask did you mean vitamin D3?
True story. I was diagnosed with factor V ( chronic blood clots) while in army. Doctors put me on blood thinners and it didn’t help much. For years I had bad symptoms. After eating cod liver oil with natto and Europe hard cheeses I noticed a significant drop in symptoms and pain. I also noticed rapid healing of my stress fractures in wrist which wouldn’t heal before. K2 is really a standout vitamin.
That's amazing that you've had so many great effects from taking K2!
I flickin just got diagnosed w/ Factor 5......
grass fed butter, cheese sauerkraut NATO K2 WITH D3 the best mixture ever you are right
Can you tell me some good vegetarian supplies of K2?
Sauerkraut, miso and Natto.
I mentioned K2 to my dr and she said she didn't think my heart could take it ... I'm going back on it ... and I'm staying away from traditional doctors ... I've gotten way too much bad advice from them ... I'm "boss of my bones" and I'll do what I feel my body needs ... I live here!
That’s right!! You’re in charge of your health ultimately ♥️♥️♥️
I've gotten so much bad advice from my doctors, it's scary, actually. I grew up in a family that is pro-doctors. I want a doctor I can trust - I truly do - but they are a rare breed!
Doctors can prescribe anti-depressants. But depression as a disease doesnt exist. This pill is just damage your brain. They can precribe pills to kid for "better focus" and "stay calm" during school but these pills destroy the kids health. Doctors can give addictive drugs to people suffering body pain and they become so addicted they cannot live without it so they pay the big price and their brain is damaged for life. Do not believe the medecine industry at all and be very careful with the american medical industry. Its all benefits minded. They look more about their wealth than your health. So do not believe all they say. They look how to sell you, not how to help you
You can get a decent amount of both D3 and vitamin K2 from egg yolks. Another source of K2 for me is home fermented sauerkraut. As mentioned, natto is the best K2 source overall that happens to be vegan friendly as well.
Yep! All are awesome sources!
Thanks for this concise but very important vid. Is vit. K2 just fine or is mk7 necessary?
Just make sure the eggs weren't laid by chickens that were fed strictly grain...gotta be free range hens eating bugs, worms, etc.
hi, my understanding is that mk7 and mk4 are two forms of K2 (so it's all still K2) 👍🏻
@@liinu01 Yes. You'll be alright with either.
Thank you for bringing this video on of importance with pertinent information about K-2 ,I really appreciate your great help Denny😘😇
Thanks for watching! You’re so very welcome!
I used to eat brie often, but not much in years. I'm going to take it up again
Woww what a nice lesson.. Health is wealth
♥️♥️♥️
Hey girl thank you for letting me know this Truth didn't know !!!!
🥰🥰🥰
The teeth and plaque is true,I noticed in 2 weeks of taking k2mk7 with d3,I had no plaque on my teeth for the first time in my life..strange
Interesting, right?!
@@mamanatural yea I just discovered k2mk7,I use 100mg. So far so good
Which supplement did you take?
Same here! No plaque at all. I didn’t make the connection but thank you.
@@lissethmorales3834 vitamin d3 2000iu and k2mk7 100mcg
I have been taking K2, MK7 , for two years, the first year , when going to the Dr. my Osteopenia, was better...and the calcification, I had in my Carotid arteries was stable...the second year, had a scan of my Carotid's ...both sides are down...one from 50% to 35%, the other from 35% to under 30%. ...I take it with vitamin D....once a day...if you have calcification, in your arteries...please try taking it...I think, it has saved my life !
Where you buy it
You are precious! Love your content!
Awwww thank you!!
I love brie!!! I live in the USA and have never heard of natto until a few days ago. I would love to try it! (Looks sticky!) I am 2 months pregnant now, and started supplementing K2 just today. I was already supplementing D3 for a while. The supplement I have is by Innovix Labs, and it has 500mcg of K2 MK-4 and 100mcg of K2 MK-7.
Noticed you said you were 2 months pregnant and your comment says it’s about 7 months old. Hope you and your baby are doing great!
BEAUTIFUL LADY BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION 😍
No, I've never used K2, but I'm going to start soon!!

I took A combo K2 and Vit D. Stopped it because I found out I am allergic to Vit D...makes my blood pressure sky rocket. I noticed my skin really aged after stopping. I am back on K2 by itself. K2 so important for anti aging of the skin. I even broke out with sun spots everywhere after stopping . So my opinion is to take it!!
Thanks for sharing your story! So glad you figured out what worked well for you!
You are allergic to a hormone? I have never heard of that. Vitamin D3 is actually a hormone, not a vitamin, it is impossible to be allergic to D3. You could have had a bad reaction to a cheap, garbage version of D3, I wonder what brand you were taking haa..
@@jettagliturbo I believe it's a solvent in the manufacturing if Vitamin D. I used Seeking Health brand and tried cheap Nature's Blend. Both made my blood pressure sky rocket. Since I stopped Vitamin D my Blood pressure is normal.
@@01maggie hey Maggie, I had a similar reaction to you! Is there a way you can still get your vit D but without increasing your heart rate. My heart rate has been beating harder a week after taking Vit D. So I stopped and it’s a little better. I haven’t taken any k2 yet so I’m not sure what to do. My doc is just so useless and I can’t even see them in person because of friggin covid
@@01maggie 😲😌 hmm exactly, is manufacturing that version however you purchased not the actual hormone Vitamin D
VERY SPOT ON PRESENTATION MAMA NATURAL 🤗🙏OBLIDGED TO U VIDEO & INFO🤝👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ♥️
I mainly choose food with K2. I do use good vitamin supplements. These in combination do give me energy.
Good to know!
I tried Natto and find it delicious. Will try to make it myself.
Awesome!! Hope you love the homemade version as well!
I am nervous about taking k2 but i hear a lot of good things
😉😉😉
Wow. This old video was on the leading edge
I had an EKG done a few years ago during a physical and discovered I had some Calcium built up in the arteries I did research and took vitamin K2 then next physical with an EKG show a normal EKG results
Wow, that's amazing!
Thank you so much
You are so sweet God bless you,

Great information. I need K2.

Knowledgeable lady
I try! Thank you! ;-)
I have been Vegan for 13 years and am very healthy. I take the Garden Of Life plant calcium. It has Vegan D3, K2, and Calcium and magnesium. It is hands down the best option for Vegan and non vegans. It is the best supplement for any diet or lifestyle type.
Garden of Life is such a great option!
You have to take vitamin B complex
@@bobcocampo Were you talking to me?
@@bobcocampo also iron, zinc, vitamin C, B-complex and omega-3 too, in addition to vitamin K2.
Thank you for the FYI..NEEDED THAT!!
Please give me a reply dr♥️ is that vitamin k2 can help to growth maxilla( upper palate bone)❓️ and is that available (vitamin k2) in oil foam
Solgar is another great K2 maker. They derive it from Natto.
Very good to know!!
What is considered high dose of vit d? I take 2,000ui (50ug) most days.
Starting k2 today, I'll update in 100 years....
Can I order it from Amazon? Pharmacies are not helpful at all these days, in fact most of them are closing.
Nice one
Thanks for watching!! ♥️
Thankfully it's in my multi vitamin supplement.
That's an excellent place to get it!
Since watching, I take a prenatal (not pregnant) D3 and K2. Is this to much vitamin D? I have always used a prenatal as my multi vitamin.
This is great, thank you. I just need to ask about one of the hard cheese. You mentioned taking Brie cheese.... and I am trying not to eat anything with high saturated fat, which Brie cheese has at almost 30%....,so I don't understand how this is good to take then on relation to K2, please can you explain? ❤️🙏🌟✨✨✨🕯️
There are other things you can consume that are helpful for this! It doesn’t have to be Brie cheese!
@@mamanatural what are these other things, please? 🤔💖🙏
@@shirleymitchell8398 Try Natto (Japanese fermented soybeans). Some people find it slimy and gross, but it is loaded with K2.
@@shirleymitchell8398 she mentions alternatives in her video. One of your concerns is avoiding items high in saturated fats, there is no relation to a products fat content and it also being a source of K2. For example if I am diabetic i shouldn't make the correlation "bananas have high K+ levels but how are they healthy if they have high sugar content, too". It just means it's rich in 2 things but bc I, me, should be avoiding the sugar part simply advises me to look for potassium elsewhere. Purchasing a supplement could benefit and best suit you, please do much research as well. Have a blessed one, friend.
@@celinaherrera5460 Thank You.
GOD Bless You too. 💕🙏🕯️
SUPPER and SIMPLE …👏👏🤙👏👏

Hi ! Doctors here don't talk about K2 . What should I do? How should I decide my dosage?
Love Brie Cheese always in the fridge
YESSSS!
What MG should you take of K2 or the combo of D2 & K2? Thank you…I enjoyed.
Follow the dosage instructions on the package for the brand that you choose! So glad you enjoyed the video!
I was curious too, what MG to take. 90 or 180
Hi mama natural great day how to order k2 in Amazon?Thank you so much.
How much is k2 that your using I want to order to you mama natural ,can send my order from the Philippines.
Im taking d3 k2 zinc after a month or two i feel really good.
That’s awesome!
You said it is inexpensive, but this is actually rather pricey ($27 for 120, 90mcg). Also says not to take it at the same time with D3 & take it with meals. I have a liquid meal and one solid meal a day. Can I take the K2 with my liquid meal? Thanks
You should be able to!
@@mamanatural Sorry to be a pest. I was told that these type of vitamins (D & K2) should be taken with a soluble fat. Any food or meal will help the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, but meals containing other fats are the best. I don't want to spend the money (which I did purchase by the way) to find it is not working cuz I am taking with a liquid meal. What I take liquid is a Barley Life (green), Just Carrots & a protein powder. Thanks so much.
I was perscribed drops of Vit D K2 when I had covid. Question? Does it hurt to put them in hot tea?
Putting vitamins in hot liquid may denature them and make them less effective.
I like your presentation. Nattoh is important for us, that is why I make it!
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching ♥️
What is NATTO? Where can I buy that?
How do you make it? It is very hard to find.

Thanks for this amazing video.
I have Osteopenia and went through two major fractures in my hand and my knee meniscus was also broken. My Vitamin D3 level was insufficient but Calcium was within normal range. I asked the doctor if my vitamin K2 level can be tested but he said there is no test for vitamin K2. Currently I am taking Vitamin D3 injection of 200000 IU per month orally for more than two months. I tried to find Vitamin K2 injections but I couldn't find it anywhere. What should I do now?
You can always do oral vitamin K2, either through supplements or through foods!
thanks mama. love.
You’re so welcome ♥️
We have fermented fish, shrimp, pork, etc in the Philippines. Does fermented animals have K2?
Meat products contain K2 so yes fermented versions should still contain it.
I take vitD3 K1 and K2 (4) and (7). I have a cavernous malformation in the center of my brain stem that hemorrhages from time to time. I just had a rather large episode and originally they said I had some calcification in that area due to old hemorrhages. I think I have been doing too much cinnamon, garlic, ginger, curry, turmeric of which I never realized are blood thinners. I'm warned against taking aspirin also. So in order to help with the calcifications, I probably need to be taking more of the K's. Constant frustration that doctors have no knowledge of this. They are good at doing MRI's and cat scans, but you are left with radiation and no answers.
Finding a naturopathic doctor may be helpful-I’m so sorry you’re going through this! The frustration is certainly valid ♥️
Is it good to used a combined D3 & K2 supplement, 100mcg K2 & 125mcg D3?
It definitely is. You can buy supplements that combine the two.
If you don't get enough sun daily I would say start with 2000iu of d3 along with the 100mg of k2.
D3 is another important vitamin, for sure. So combining the two can only help!
i was taking d3 supplement for 4 yrs because i hardly go out due to fibro last blood test flagged up to high levels so i had to stop immediately ,levels were going down at last blood test , so am i safe to take k2 on its own . i dont want to make the same mistake as with d3 i suffered a lot with bone pain increased fatigue and difficulty breathing. there's no good asking gp about vits and minerals they no jack shit about it all i ever get is shrugged shoulders when i ask them about them , except d and c they no nothing about them
Thank you so much for k2 info
How much should I take daily
I am 61 and have osteoporosis
Dosage instructions can be obtained from the packaging or from your medical care provider!
The pattern dosage is 100 Mcg.
Life extension Super K has both K1 and K2 has anybody use this before?
Add magnesium.
Magnesium is definitely an important supplement all on its own!
Dr Erick Berg says one should take 10,000 IU Vitamin D3 everyday plus Vitamin K2 100mcg. I wanna know is it safe to take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3?
That is the recommendation from many doctors-it’s really up to user discretion at the end of the day!
Can I take vitamin D3+k2 while 12 weeks pregnant I’m scared to start cause I had a miscarriage before and I’m nervous to do anything new
They are generally considered safe, but it’s never a bad idea to check with your doctor before starting anything new.

I LOVE Brie Cheese! Unfortunately, I love it on Triscuits and Triscuits are loaded with everything you don't want in your diet - carbs and MSG. 😭
There are SO many options that are MSG and preservative free online and in health food stores!! You can still have your crackers ♥️
carbs are not bad. simple ones are, not complex ones. carbs produce glucose in our brain which is important.
Thank ma ma I needed a remedy for kidney stones I also get the gout too
Hopefully this is helpful for you ♥️
Just had a blood test for D3, I have been taking 800 iu every other day for 2 year's now. My D3 is 57 Ng/ml.
I said to my doctor about K2 she said there is no need to take K2.
I wasn't happy with that answer.
After seeing all information on CZcams, thank you for your video.
I'm worried about my heart disease
and COPD.
I'm going to start taking K2 I was told on here to up my D3 to a thousand iu every other day, I was also told to take 200 micrograms of K2.
Would that be every day or other day?
Every day!
Thank you for your advice.
Do you think K2 mk7 200 ug is to much to take against my D3 that's only 800 iu evey other day.
Going to up the D3 to a 1,000 iu when my 800 iu have finished.
28 Tab's To go.
Thank you.
Have watched you tube where a doctor said D3 10.000 iu you should take K2 200 ug with 10.000 D3
K2 100ug with less D3.
Very confusing.
On what's best, I can't get any information about this from my own GP.
@@trevorjenkins1976 best thing to do is to do your own research which is what you're doing now. You will know when you start seeing the benefits. I thought I was taking enough vitamin D3 when I was taking 10,000 but read now that anywhere from ten to twenty thousand is best so I'm currently taking
20,000 iu's daily. Also I live in the North so we don't get a whole lot of sunlight especially in the winter time.
Yes and the main problem with doctors today. No one of them, okay maybe a little number, will tell you about such kind things. Today we have to do our search. Because when you ask a doctor: " Can I take vitamin K2? Or what about this?" The answer is: No. And sometimes the little things can actually help you to to live a beautiful and healthy life.
It comes in 90 and 180 mcg. What is the right dosage for average weight female ?
Many brands have dosing instructions/recommendations on the packaging-this is what you should go by since the actual content in the supplement is likely individual to that brand.
Yes I take ke
How are u feeling with k2. Whay do u take it
Hope you benefit from taking it!
I take vitamin D3 and magnesium with my vitamin K2.
Great combo!

I can't believe I never knew k2 had to be taken with d3...got some today
Yay!! So glad!
😅l
What can I do ? After taking k2 50 mcg with 1000 I'd , short breathing, chest tightness and huge back pain..... From India pls help me
Try eating natto instead of taking K2. K2 is derived from natto anyway, and natto has both K2 and an enzyme called nattokinase which complements K2 very well. You won't get any adverse reactions from eating natto. It's very easy to make natto at home. Look up videos on CZcams on how to make it using rice straw or mint leaves.
2022 and this information is still being ignored by most people.
Not everybody is ignoring it though 😉
Can be used if taking blood thinner ?
Please check in with your provider!
Liver.. med rare liver is a fantastic source
Good to know!
Can you name the best vitamin k2 supplement online
There are so many! It really is best to research the right one for you ♥️
@@mamanatural Mam I have a question, I am 18 years old can vitamin k2 supplement makes my facial bones bigger, does it impacts on facial bones also?
Stupid question: is K2 the same as magnesium? My nutritionist friend told me recently that Magnesium must be taken if you're taking vit D, for all these same reasons in this video. 🤔
Should you take it seprately d3 and k2 or together?
Together!
@@mamanatural thank you for replying 😊 and for the info
Does vitamin k2 cause blood clotting or is it safe?
It provides your body with the ability to produce clotting factor, but it should not actually cause or create clots.
I think it should help to prevent that. If you take calcium calcium goes to your arteries unless you take the D3 and the K2 which will deposited in the right place the bones and the teeth as she said. You don't want plaque building up in your arteries. Sad I'm just finding out about this a couple of months ago. My doctors either don't know or don't tell me anything.
@@sable7114 As a Clinical Pharmacist I can tell you it's because they don't know..
I come across many doctors and Cardiologists..NONE so far have known about this and I'm going back about 6 years now!
Knowledge is power...as they say
@@19111959 I agree with you wholeheartedly. My original comment would not post let's see if this one will. So many pharmacist and pharmaceutical reps have helped me with things that my doctor did not tell me about like how do I avoid prolonged exposure to Sun with a given prescription? And also that an injection I was being given causes bone thinning which I probably would have elected not to take had physician told me that. To get your K vitamins just eat your green leafy vegetables but I'm asking you about K2 not K1. If I can use my free time to try and improve my knowledge in an area that's not my field why can't Physicians use their free time to do the same to better improve the services that they provide to their patients and to be able to answer questions. Nutrition is also healing it should not always have to be some chemical that I take. So I'm not saying all Physicians are like this but all of the ones I've seen are. Their formal education has failed them. There is so much more they should know
u mistaken k1, which helps clotting
If i am taking 6000iu per day of vitamin d3 so how much iu or mcg of k2 should i take?
Talk to your doctor or refer to the bottle for dosage instructions!
100 micrograms for every 2000IU I think is best. Double-check that.
Started to take Vitamin D3 & K2 because my blood test came back low in iron and my doctor told me to stop taking it immediately or I would get blood clots. I'm so confused??? I think I need to look for a new doctor, please let me know its ok to take it??
I really can’t speak to what’s safe for you personally-it sounds like you may need to talk to your doctor more in depth about why this is his recommendation for you!
Does K2 have any anticoagulant effects?
No it doesn’t.
I think it does the opposite
@@mamanatural sao is it safe to take with aspirin?
Cute mama.

Can K2 help retinopathy?
Vitamin K is imperative for eye health, so it's always possible that it could help!
@@mamanatural
Any research on food that can reverse retinopathy?
Does k2 help the blood clot?
It supports a healthy blood balance, but it does not inherently cause clots. If you have a blood disorder or clotting issue, it is always good to talk with your doctor before starting any supplements!
I take a D3 K2 supplement. Can't say I feel any different.
Some people don’t! It could also be that the supplement you’re taking isn’t high quality enough or concentrated enough to be therapeutic!
Vitamin k2 made my face ugly and wide and my jaw going more inward. I had a lower jaw extension surgery years ago because I had a huge overbite. It made my cheekbones wider, is there any way to reverse this? I use 1 mg vitamin k2 mk4 a day.
Sounds like a great question for your doctor!
1 mg is way too much. Recommended supplement K2 is between 100mcg to 200 mcg a day
I wonder if it works on osteporosis.
There is some evidence that it helps prevent it!
Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease with or without conduction issues. I had a AV block all my adult life. I take k2 and do IF and Ketodiet . My bloc is gone... the calcium has a lot to do with osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. You won’t see this in the media. Think about the billions of dollars at stake if word goes around
There was a study done on women with varying stages of bone loss so they ate 50 MG of prunes everyday for 16 weeks. At the end of the study the bone density test had showed improvement and/or reversal of bone loss. I eat organic prunes (not prune juice, too filtered). Your body does adjust to it in terms of digestive issues (diarrhea). So it is worth looking into. I also take liposomal D3 and K2. I have noticed improvement with my teeth, some gum regeneration and blood pressure went from 142/82 to 117/78.

@@mamanatural Thnk u so much for replying😊
Where do you refer to as a to: high dose of Vit D3? How much IE per day do you think of?
High dose is usually 6,500 IUs per day!
Depends on the individual! A very high dose is in the 10,000's of units (typically for specialized treatments in disease), but everyone absorbs it differently, especially depending on where you live on this globe of ours and how 'dark' your skin is. A dose of 6000ui may be high for some people, but there are others that may need that as a starter in order to get their levels up to where they need to be since Vitamin D needs to be taken over a longer period of time to get accurate results. Targeted blood testing for Vitamin D is the only way to know what 'your level' of vitamin D should be (as your Doctor adds or takes away).
I have Osteoporose and take 20,000s a once a week . Doctors orders.. He also told me to take Calcium but having checked found its not good but Vitamine K2.. Look into it!!!!!
Also good for the skin!!!!!
Can you eat natto during pregnancy?
If it’s something you’re used to eating prior to pregnancy or is likely okay-fermented foods that are new to you should probably be avoided in pregnancy.
Where can I get k2 to buy
There are a TON of sources through supplements and foods!!
Just eat eggs. Ton of k2 in egg yolk. Make them with butter. Also has k2.
These ARE excellent sources of K2!
Does K2 help with headaches
It could if you’re deficient in K2!

I have toxic levels of vitamin D of 335 my originally toxic levels was 329 3 weeks ago and the doctor took my levels again two weeks later and that's when they had went up to 335 after I was trying to be on a low calcium diet and trying to restrict my vitamin D intake my doctor said he don't know how to help me cause he'se not familiar with what I should be eating with toxic levels of vitamin D so he referred me to a dietitian and she said she couldn't help me either because they didn't teach them much about vitamin D toxicity when she was in school I don't want my level to continue to go up I did buy the vitamin K2 like you recommended I just don't know what to eat to lower my vitamin D levels in my body at the same time keep my calcium from getting too high as well. Could you please give me some type of menu/diet/foods that I can eat during this time that my levels are 335 that will allow my vitamin D levels to go down while eating
This sounds very frustrating and confusing! This is a very rare and serious condition that may require another doctor’s opinion since diet alone cannot treat it. I would find another provider who can help you get to the root of why this is happening! I hope you find answers soon!

I was taking 20,000IU for about 18 months then increased to 60,000IU on the 19th month till the 20th month. I stop taking my vitamin D supplements a month ago after getting symptoms that led me to the hospital ER. My doctor clearly told me he don't know much about vitamin D toxicity, And couldn't help much on what not to eat, so I ask my doctor to refer me to a dietitian, he did, but after speaking with the dietitian she said they didn't teach them much about vitamin D toxicity And she knew as much as me, she said give her some time to research for a few days and when she came back she told me she didn't learn nothing and that there is barely anything about vitamin D toxicity out there. I'm writing you cause I have no where to turn cause my levels increased from 329 to 335 2 1/2 weeks from my last vitamin D levels test and I don't know why. I have no guidance on what I should eat while allowing the vitamin d levels to go down. So the doctor and dietitian told me "try not to eat anything with vitamin D and try to keep my daily calcium intake between 300-400mg. They couldn't suggest what I should be eating as in a menu of some kind. I'm so lost, in my search everything seem to have vitamin D and/or calcium. I was eating 4-5 chicken wings, popcorn, and bananas a day when my levels went up.
@@deborahdenise81 Try reaching out to Dr. Eric Berg DC on you tube, maybe he can help.
Dear Deborah.. Vitamin D has a half life of few weeks. Bring a fat soluble vitamin, the levels won't come down immediately. Give it a few weeks. I would say about 6 weeks.
Stay off fish and sunshine for while. Stay very hydrated that your kidneys are not strained and a good quality magnisium supplement should help.. But please don't over do it as you did with vitamin D.
Many don't understand the dangers of high dose fat soluble vitamins.
