Best Vitamin D Supplement! It's Not What You Think!

[@chrisstepleton4761]

This is your best video. I am a retired medical person who had low vitamin D at 5, and my doctor put me on 5000 units along with K2 mk7 at 200, which I added, and now my vit d is 76. I want it in the 80s before I reduce it or just stay the same as long as I don't go too high. Any doctor that is not testing for vitamin d is doing a disservice to the patient. Take charge of your health and make sure they test for it.

What brand vitamin did u take ?

The fact that we get free videos on KZbin by Healthy Immune Doc is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏

I always love your videos. So much great information. I am a plant-based eater. I have to confess, I don't always get the proper nutrients, mainly because I do intermittent fasting, eating during a six hour window and fasting for 18 hours. I love natto, but I have to travel to get it, it's not always available. I am seventy-four years old, four-feet eleven inches and weigh between 106 -109 lbs. I'm not on any medication, but I have been diagnosed with osteopenia, and there is some sarcopenia going on. I know I need more weight bearing exercises, but it is difficult for me to be consistent. But truly love your videos. Can't afford the vitamins you take, but I will definitely purchase some more vitamin D3 and magnesium. I've been out for a while. Sorry for the long message. 👏👏👏💯

Any food grade mushroom sliced & put in direct sunlight for 30 minutes increases the vitamin D3 content of the mushroom.

How do you know this?

I just love your videos! I usually won't watch a video longer than 30 minutes, but I do for your videos. Please keep them coming!

Wow! Thank you for the encouragement!

[@onetuliptree]

I change up my Vitamin D supplements, mostly because I'm not sure what I should be taking. Thank you for clarifying the subject!

[@oyandakona5994]

Thanks just popped mine while listening to you When is the best time to take them! Morning ? evening?

[@Syl-Vee]

Thank you for your detailed explanation of the metabolism of vitamins D, K, as well as calcium. This information is not covered adequately by my medical team. They just tell you to supplement with vitamin D when the serum levels are low and the recommended dosages are all over the place. I have been taking 2000 IU of cholecalciferol for 3 years and my deficiency was corrected within the first 6 months of taking it.

I question everything, especially advice from government health organizations after reading 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett, this book exposes so many shocking truths about the health industry. I completely changed my habits.

[@jillbeans1573]

Thank you for your posts. I always learn from them.

I love you! 👍👍I don't care about the bit of K2 M7 I take which is not expensive I am vegan ethically natto is a bridge too far, but am sending this to my best friend; we are both in late 60s and she lives in Sao Paulo and has been wild swimming all her life. She was astonished to learn that according to her doctors she was a candidate for spinal fusion due to degradation of somewhere ... in the cervical part of the spine (all this while she described biking home don't get me started). BUT she's getting her Vit D levels tested ASAP. Post accident hip fracture 2 years ago I am hyper aware of this. I take 5000 IU per diem didn't understand calcium supplements but knew enough that e.g. in spinach -- minerals compete? always here to re-listen so magnesium I take at night I like bis-glycinate in powder, one teaspoon (BTW, all this Includes my dog, my partner is gone and no way is my dog going to suffer the slings and arrows of rampant humans on the planet) ... rambling a bit but anecdotally 6 months ago I did indeed have unexplained dry patches on my upper arms etc. a mystery no more, they're gone and I do get to a swimming pool so chlorene sp was not a factor. My story which dovetails with yours is looking after my parents in my early '30s lecturing at Uni with no tenure so 2nd job I cooked for them and got through the better part of a bottle of wine in the last 2 years the story after that wasn't pretty ... and my family like yours was solidly based so I do count myself one of the lucky ones.

For me the "miracle" vitamin was zinc. When I first went low carb vegetarian I was not grtting enough zinc snd one day my tongue started to hurt badly. That was such a strange symptom, so I googled that after a day of it not going away by itself. I read that sore tongue can be a symptom of zinc deficiency and I had zinc tablets in the house and took one and *within an hour* my painfully sore tongue was completely better. That's what really brought home to me how important micronutrients are. Before I was vegetarian I was pescaterian, and I ate a lot of fish and never took vitamin D and I was fine. Fortunately, my doctor called for a vitamin D lab and noticed that I became vitamin D deficient after becoming vegetarian. I have been supplementing with 2500IU daily, ever since.

Great video! Beneficial information with In depth look at how everything works together

[@woodworkinggirl5525]

Im so frustrated because my heart doctor tells me not to take K2 because it can cause clotting and I said no thats K1, but they said they would advise against k2 because it can clot your blood🤔😳calcification runs in my family, so I thought it would be good for me to take the D3 plus K2 together, but my heart doctor makes me doubt it ☹️ Thanks for your knowledge ♥️Christy from Va

My husband had a job where he worked out in the sun daily and when he had his vitamin d levels checked he was low.

[@SJ_Vibezz]

Thank you for this video. I live in the UK, i Recently started taking 8-10,000 iu daily with k2 , that seemed to be my only problem…vit D

[@deconcoder]

Great video!! You tried natto once? I had it last night, and the night before.. available at Japanese markets but they even have it at Erewhon now.

[@kodowdus]

Bottom line: "Vitamin D" is not a nutrient. It's a prehormone that's normally synthesized in the skin in a "natural" (pre-industrial) environment. It's also *not* a significant component of most human diets. Therefore, "vitamin D supplementation" is actually a form of hormone replacent (i.e., a pharmacological intervention) that should be implemented based on routine blood tests, not based on notions of "recommended dietary allowances".

[@humblebee3018]

Excellent comment!

[@greggbambu411]

My mom lives in Florida. She goes to the pool. Gets a lot of sun. Her dr told her she was deficient in vit D

[@larsnystrom6698]

The sun, if you can get it, should be enough. But we also need magnesium to convert vitamin D3 into the form we meassure in the blood. That's one reason why we usually say supplement with: Magnesium Vitamin D3, and K2 Vitamin A also belongs together with them, but we seldom need to supplement with that. Our biggest problem are all those who heard about the criminally insufficient RDA for vitamin D, and warns you about toxicity! My advice is begin with 5000 IU daily of vitamin D3, meassure after 3 mouths, and adjust the level to get 25(OH)D into the interval 50 --100 ng/ml.

[@Trenchant468]

Would it be harmful to take Vit D w K2, for a few months only? I’ve been prescribed d3, but recently bought a couple bottles with K2. (Gut and bones aren’t great).

[@inasmal3996]

Dr can you answer my question please. My husband elbows are extremely dry. Never heard any advice for this.

[@Micci75]

Thanks for an informative video. But you should make it clear in the video itself that your favorite product is one you sell!

So if on hemodialysis, is vitamin d not good for you?

[@karahamil3657]

Can you do a video on how without bloodwork to tell if levels are too high . Mine are still within ‘ normal’ but are high . I do supplement just not every day now .

[@Groot_for_prez]

Does infrared sauna or red light therapy provide us with vitamin D?

[@Healthyimmunedoc]

No

[@midlifemom5829]

Besides vitamin D , do u have a video on the safe version of Magnesium to take and the proper supplements to pair with it to maximize absorption? Its so overwhelming and frustrating to figure out which vitamins to take for basic health. All these YT "doctors " do not elaborate on dosage and specific types of vitamins to pair for maximum bioavailability. Also what about menopausal women who may have osteo issues. There's just too much information presented on YT that is not presented in a manner to help us understand which approach is safe So what is the bare minimum to take and what type and waht dosage? Vit D, magnesium, potassium, zinc, what else??? Oh and what about Omega 3s?

[@MaryTheMerryVegan]

The supplement you recommend is way too expensive for the average person to buy.
