Aug 23, 2023 Vitamin D was 56 ng/ml I was 74 years old then now 75. So far no colds, flu covid and I don't do flu covid, Pneumococcal shots.

Rhonda Patrick says she did thorough research and concluded that you would literally have to take hundreds of thousands of IU of vit D daily for weeks and weeks on end in order for hypercalcemia to become a legitimate concern.

I work night shift and I've realized that my work hours, in combo with the shorter daylight hours of the winter, have caused me to BARELY get sunlight. I haven't tested my levels but I knew it was likely that I am deficient. I've now been taking a 5,000 IU pill daily for a couple weeks, and I've definitely felt a difference in my energy levels and mental clarity.
I took 50,000IU's every day for 3 years and felt the best I had ever felt. My blood level of D3 was 100ng/ml but my calcium was fine and I had zero symptoms of toxicity. Prior to that even taking 10,000 units a day for years and getting plenty of sunlight I was always deffecient in Vitamin D. I will say this adding Boron to my daily supplements had a huge impact in my absorbition of D3!

I have bad 3 region progressive spinal arthritis with subluxations & severe crippling bilateral sciatica & osteoarthritis. I still lift but only moderately heavy concentration on rep progression. Incredibly I feel much better when working out. I can even leg press being careful not to roll my lower back. While I go to the gym, I'm fortunate in having my own well stocked gym. Another MRI next week to check progression. I miss being able to take a long fast walk, hills, slopes, etc. I get cardio by doing a 20 minute round robin with my free weights & machines; no rest.

Agreed and magnesium is one of the very few things I supplement and for best absorbtion I go for magnesium glycinate.... If you're just buying what's cheap and it's oxide you're wasting your money and citrate might make you explode in the bathroom
@@michaelriddick7116 this is true. But it's not something you need a lot of. I'm sure plants have K2 but I know I get more than enough on an all red meat and egg diet. Vit D is something I supplement hard during flu season due to latitude and not enough sun exposure.
I've been taking 5000IU for YEARS now. I have my level checked annually and it's always normal (was 51 this last time). I live in Michigan and am 54. A very common mistake is that some people only take the supplement during the colder months when they feel they are not outdoors enough. You need to take it year round regardless because it takes several months for your levels to return to normal after you stop taking the supplement for an extended period of time.
I had my vitamin D tested and was shocked that it was a normal level, as I barely get any sun even in summer! Also I grew up in England, with weather similar to here, I still take 5:000 IU daily to prevent osteoporosis & I also take K7 ..
I was as shocked as anyone, but my vitamin D was in the acceptable range , I am got to be getting another VIT D test again soon so I hope my levels are still good, I take 5000 IU a every day , along with K2 / MK 7 for bone health also….
Was taking Vit D supplement for 10 years. Naturopath suggested wiping out all my supplements. To sit out in the sun with veins facing sun. No sunscreen. Naturally do this with a doggy who loves outside.
@@HillbillyYEEHAA You need full-spectrum sunlight on your retina. It's critical for many processes, including hormone production. It doesn't need to be a lot, but 10-15 minutes in the morning.

I was diagnosed with asthma pretty late in life, maybe around 42, I always had a severe cold every spring. I have now been supplementing 10,000 in pretty much daily for ten years.

I take 10000 iu's every morning with k2, magnesium glycinate and a probiotic. So far my panic attacks are gone. Im 33 and was going to the ER twice a month thinking i was having a heart attack
The vitamin D supplement or the form produced in your skin by UVB is cholecaciferol. This may be stored in fat cells or converted by the liver into calcifidiol, the storage form which is what is measured in the vit D assay. This can be converted by the kidney into the active form calcitriol. Many other cells can also make this conversion as required. The fastest way to increase your level if required is to take calcifidiol. If you have an inoculation or an infection this can severely deplete your levels of vitamin D. Taking calcifidiol is the fastest way to increase your levels back up.
You should be advising people to supplement with 2-10 grams of taurine per day: "Taurine regulates intracellular calcium homeostasis. Taurine, also, when conjugated with bile acids assists with absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D and vitamin K."
Vitamin D Magnesium Sulforaphane Berberine This supplement stack has reduce my insulin resistance, less sugar cravings, less water weight retention, reduced autism stemming symptoms, less procrastination.

I read (somewhere) you should take Vitamin D in the morning because it can keep you awake if you take it later in the day/evening...gahhh so much conflicting nutritional info online.

Yes your doctor can do a differential Vitamin D test and it will report what Vitamin D analogs it finds in the blood. This allows them to tell if your Vitamin D level is from food and sunlight or supplement form. The key though to taking high levels of Vitamin D and not having toxicity and having a great outcome lies in Vitamin K supplementation and vitamin K intake from food. That and not supplementing with Calcium if taking Vitamin D unless you have active osteoperosis. Vitamin D 3 increases calcium absorbition by 20,000X so you have to approach the combination of D3 and Calcium with caution and make sure you include lots of Vitamin K and Magnessium and Boron to keep things optimal and balanced so that the calcium ends up in your bones and not in soft tissues and your blood! If you want to push levels up to the point that they can actual heal and reverse dissease states you have to do a lot of research. Sadly the best research on Vitamin D is 1950's and previous. Just like Iodine research 1950's and latter is absolutely criminal and backwards to reality. Similar can be said for sodium and colesterol being absolutely criminal and backwards you can likewise make a case for all research 1980's and latter on Boron being backwards and criminal. A lot of the best research has not been made available digitaly so you have to have access to old journals, research and medical texts that are out of print and only avialbe in paper formats and often not in English either!
My vitamin D level 2 years ago was 20. I started to go out into the sun way more. Started getting a 10 minute full body tan everyday, got a bike and road it around. Despite all this, after 2 years, my vitamin D levels is 22. It barely improved. I am beyond confused and disappointed. Ill start taking suppliments but im wondering why the increase of sunlight didnt seem to help me at all.
I studied with an ‘ahead of his time’ genius some years ago, and he talked about how sulfur was necessary for the processing of vitamin D… If you live in a highly polluted area, have toxic mercury dental amalgams or eat a lot of tuna, mercury can bind the sulfur, which is necessary for utilization of D. I recall him saying that sulfur was the third most important mineral in the body. Maybe your Microbiome is also lacking. Even vitamin supplements need to be fermented in the gut for availability to your cells.
yes that's concerning. wonder if something is preventing you from absorbing it through your skin? mine went from 20 to 40 after supplementing for about 3 month on 10000 then 5000 iu after that
Please answer this question: the vegan diet preaches meat, the keto diet preaches nearly no fruits and vegetables, how can one retain a healthy lifestyle on keto diet if you’re not receiving any of the nutrients plant provide and vice verse for the other diet mentioned if you’re not receiving the nutrients from the meat? I cannot make sense of it.
Dr. Steven Lin (a dentist) recommends taking the Vitamin D3 and K2 at different times in the day. He also has recommendations on the amount of K2 based on how much D3 you take. I do not know his reasoning for taking the D3 and K2 with a time spacing.
There are centenarians with Vitamin D levels between 15-25 ng/mL and they are doing fine even though they never had access to vitamins or supplements. Too much Vitamin D is bad news for your arteries.
So I’ve been taking 8000iu of d3 everyday for a year and a half with zinc picolate and 2 omega 3s. I’ve not had so much was a cold and don’t take k2 but eggs lots of eggs. Do I need k2 also do people take it at night ? I take mine with my lunch (eggs).
An underrated way to synthesize vitamin D is to not wear sunglasses outside even while driving if you can. Sunlight through your eyes during the daytime can synthesize vitamin D.
@trail.blazer I'm in the US and it's not that hard to get one. With some doctors, you may have to insist, but nobody seems to know how Important it is. Your health is the most valuable thing you have, but people are just going through life expecting someone else to protect their most valuable possession.
@@47retta Don't get me wrong; it is easy to get a vitamin D test, but not via Doctors. I believe it is the same in the UK, where the doctors (at least in the past) have been resistant to ordering tests just because people ask for them. For me it costs around US$38. I had 3 tests done over a around 9 months including winter and worked out how much to supplement to keep me at top of range.
?**? Question: If Vit D Absorption is OK, does that imply absorption of other Fat Soluble Vits (E,A,K) is likely good too? Vit D was OK last year, but considering getting the Test for the others (which will automatically include re-test of Vit D) however, the '4 Vit Test' is expensive, so thinking maybe just Test Vit D again, hopefully as an indicator of all at Fat Soluble Vits?
If anyone might know .. Whenever I take any Vitamin D3, even very small amounts such as the 200 iu's that are in a cod liver oil, for the next few days I have quite scary skipped and extra heartbeats. I especially notice it while I lie down to sleep at night and it is scary enough that I am too concerned to keep supplementing even though my Lab Levels are at the bottom of the scale in the 20's. How can I fix this?
I've been on Carnivore for almost a year, so my body is constantly shuttling fat around from the OMAD meals I eat. Would I need to take vitamin D with a fatty meal or might I have enough circulating in my body that I can just take it with water?
I have a couple full spectrum grow lights. Could I use these to help get some Vit D? It would be easy for me to lay under one for a bit during the winter months.
Depends, what you mean by full spectrum. As in it mimics the same spectrum the sun gives off or the optimal spectrum for plants? Which will be similar to the suns spectrum but different for example consider plants that exist on the floor in jungles versus up in the canopies of the jungle. They require totally different spectrums. Check with the manufacturer of that product to find out the spectrum of that light. If nothing else it may very well be an alternative in the winter months but is never going to be a replacement for the sun.
What is the best way to get vit D levels tested in the UK? If I get it done with my GP is the result likely to be reliable? Any potential pitfalls to be avoided?
You can buy a test kit from a pharmacy, or health food store, or, as you say, blood work from the GP may be available if you don't want to fund your own healthcare. I understand it was the case that doctors would not test for vitamin D levels in the UK because EVERYONE was deficient. Remember, we live further north than most Canadians - to give it a transatlantic perspective. Only in summer, can we produce some of our own vit D from sunlight. Supplementation in winter is essential, and even in summer, most people working indoors, or covering up outdoors will still be deficient. I do find that with the higher level of supplementation I now take, I do tend to tan more easily if I do catch a bit of sun. The body probably indicating that it already has adequate vit D.
Not sure what you specifically mean but we know we were lied to. Now we no longer trust the main stream media, many of our health officials, the FDA, the CDC, the WHO, and most people on the left in general. 3 years of gaslighting will do that to a person.

@@47retta Don't get me wrong; it is easy to get a vitamin D test, but not via Doctors. I believe it is the same in the UK, where the doctors (at least in the past) have been resistant to ordering tests just because people ask for them.
For me it costs around US$38. I had 3 tests done over a around 9 months including winter and worked out how much to supplement to keep me at top of range.
Something to remember, Vitamin D is useless without sufficient Magnesium. Can't use it without it. Most people are low on Magnesium.
Don't forget to take vit D vith K2
No one uses an 18 gauge needle for a blood draw!
Do we really need to take it with k2? I sometimes dont tolerate the supplements well so i use a vitamin d lamp daily
Thank you.
Thank you very helpful
It would be lovely to have vitamin d in the water but isn’t it fat soluble not water
Correct
Can you do a vid on Rebounding?
keep in mind magnesium helps activate vitamin d. Studies also linked low glutathione with severe covid also.
Just met Paul Saladino on Saturday at erowan Culver City and he looks amazing with that tan complexion. I wonder what his D level is.
I saw him surfing...hes got cake 😂😂😂
Thanks great info
?**? Question: If Vit D Absorption is OK, does that imply absorption of other Fat Soluble Vits (E,A,K) is likely good too? Vit D was OK last year, but considering getting the Test for the others (which will automatically include re-test of Vit D) however, the '4 Vit Test' is expensive, so thinking maybe just Test Vit D again, hopefully as an indicator of all at Fat Soluble Vits?
When I was in the army minimum pushup requirement for men was 40. Women 15. Btw I'm 60 and I do 50
If anyone might know .. Whenever I take any Vitamin D3, even very small amounts such as the 200 iu's that are in a cod liver oil, for the next few days I have quite scary skipped and extra heartbeats. I especially notice it while I lie down to sleep at night and it is scary enough that I am too concerned to keep supplementing even though my Lab Levels are at the bottom of the scale in the 20's. How can I fix this?
I've been on Carnivore for almost a year, so my body is constantly shuttling fat around from the OMAD meals I eat. Would I need to take vitamin D with a fatty meal or might I have enough circulating in my body that I can just take it with water?
Vit D and K have changed my life.
How so
Good morning. What is the difference between Dk and d3?
My concern is that taking vitamin D or even D3 wont be converted into D3 Sulfate in the body.
Aww miss whatching live
Hands off the water!!!
Take your Vit D with your buttered coffee and Omega 3’s in the morning. 💪
I have a couple full spectrum grow lights. Could I use these to help get some Vit D? It would be easy for me to lay under one for a bit during the winter months.
Depends, what you mean by full spectrum. As in it mimics the same spectrum the sun gives off or the optimal spectrum for plants? Which will be similar to the suns spectrum but different for example consider plants that exist on the floor in jungles versus up in the canopies of the jungle. They require totally different spectrums.
Check with the manufacturer of that product to find out the spectrum of that light. If nothing else it may very well be an alternative in the winter months but is never going to be a replacement for the sun.
What is the best way to get vit D levels tested in the UK? If I get it done with my GP is the result likely to be reliable? Any potential pitfalls to be avoided?
You can buy a test kit from a pharmacy, or health food store, or, as you say, blood work from the GP may be available if you don't want to fund your own healthcare. I understand it was the case that doctors would not test for vitamin D levels in the UK because EVERYONE was deficient. Remember, we live further north than most Canadians - to give it a transatlantic perspective. Only in summer, can we produce some of our own vit D from sunlight. Supplementation in winter is essential, and even in summer, most people working indoors, or covering up outdoors will still be deficient. I do find that with the higher level of supplementation I now take, I do tend to tan more easily if I do catch a bit of sun. The body probably indicating that it already has adequate vit D.
@@paulcampbell840 Thanks Paul, I'll go to a pharmacy today and see if I can get one.
@@paulcampbell840 Have been taking between 8000 and 12000 IU per day over the darker months but not sure if that's enough for me personally.
Volume is so loud. My earbuds are turned all the way down
I see so many weirdos online saying "vitamin D is rat poison"
As a fat soluble vitamin, putting it in the water is not an option 😂
So if D is sequestered in fat. If an obese person loses fat quickly are they in danger of overdose of D
I had 40 ng/dl and my report said I was near toxic levels.
That's lower than ideal...
Ideal is between 80-100
OMG...that's insane.
ML not DL
Im pretty sure my dr said nothing about levels and i know they're high.
I ate half a pack of liver not long before my test. I wanted it 😂
💪🏻😎👍🏻
How about we stop putting anything where it is not found naturally, and let people make their own choices allowing natural for selection.
hate Jardiance ads
Fat soluble….
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sad you don’t see through the lies of Covid
Not sure what you specifically mean but we know we were lied to. Now we no longer trust the main stream media, many of our health officials, the FDA, the CDC, the WHO, and most people on the left in general. 3 years of gaslighting will do that to a person.
He spoke out about it during the plandemic 🤔
Vitamin D is fat soluble. Put it into water supply? I don’t think so.
My HYPOTHESIS agrees with you🐥🐦🐕🐦⬛🌷
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dont need to put D in the water, its in the air.
In order to utilise vitamin D3 in your body you also need vitamin A.
Eat liver
👍👍🙏
Bring the nanas 🍌 my friends ❤
OK bro, I have to stop you, I have been a doc for over 25 years on top of 2 masters and PhD. I have and can prove THERE IS NO SUCH THING A C 19, STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!! I HAVE 9 requests to go on all these pod casts and shows like yours to offer 100K cash if you can prove me wrong!!!!!!!!! BUT no one will take me up on over 300 things being talked out as real... BUT there is a kicker you will have to pay me 200K when I prove I'm correct!!! Play ball much?? PS you are correct on Vitamin D...
In the water? Disgusting
Go in the sun
Don't put extra shit in my water....If I need fluoride I'll rinse....if I want vitamin D I'll eat fish...
I'm so glad I saw this video🩷🐕🐦⬛🐦🌷
I'm going to get my VITAMIN D3
I think I'm D Deficient.
I have excess body fat - I used to be skinny and was wondering what is wrong I can't lose weight and health went down the toilet since COVID hit.
🐥🐕🙃🤗🐦
I've been taking a low dose of 2,000 VITAMIN D but I'm definitely going to get a higher dosage and take it along with my other supplements.
