Excellent advice. Thank you. I am a 77 year old male and I weigh about 210 lbs. About 12 years ago I learned about the importance of having enough vitamin D to treat and prevent many types of cancer and other health problems. Since then I have kept my vitamin D level at or above 100 ng/ml and I have had only two mild colds and one very mild case of covid-19. For many years before getting my D level up I had chronic depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog, word finding difficulty, chronic low back pain and etc. All of my health problems quickly resolved after getting my vitamin D levels up. I am physically stronger and mentally sharper than I was 20 years ago. I have plenty of energy and no pain. I take 20,000 iu of D3 daily which is only 1/2 mg. I also take 100 mcg of K2-MK7, magnesium glycinate or magnesium malate, omega 3 fish oil, Lugol's iodine, natural B complex, and a natural multi-vitamin/mineral daily. I strongly believe that hundreds of thousands of American lives would have been saved if the CDC or the WHO had recommended that everyone take 5,000 or 10,000 iu of D3 daily during the covid-19 pandemic.

My omega3 story: In 2008 I started getting some hip pain in my left hip. It soon began in my right hip. I asked my GP about it and he said "let me know when it gets bad enough and we will schedule your hip replacement surgery." The pain gradually got worse til in 2013 it was bad enough that I quit a hike and came home early. I figured it would get debilitating so I wanted to have one more good volcano season first. So I started taking new supplements that would help my strength and stamina. In early 2014 I noticed that my hip pain was gone. I had a great season hiking 260 miles, 75,000 feet & some great volcanos. After volcano season I stopped all my new supplements. My hip pain came back. I started resuming them one at a time to see which cured my hip pain. It was EPA/DHA. I took EPA/DHA for a year. No hip pain. I stopped EPA/DHA. The pain came back. I resumed EPA/DHA. It is now 2024. I am 74 years old and still have no hip pain. I am taking pills that have 500mg of EPA and 250mg of DHA, 4 per day. I have tried several brands. They all work.

Fish oils work best when homosistine levels are low, so should be combined with the methylated versions of B12 and Folate (B9). So should be methylcobobaline and methyl foliate. D3 is oil based so good to take with your fish oil for absorption. However K2 should be taken with D3 to help with calcification. May have spelt some of that wrong but this the combination that I've narrowed down. Also magnesium taurate seems to be a very good combination of magnesium and taurine, give it a try 😊

When she saw that, she told me to STOP taking vit d. My numbers were in the optimal range. Going into winter. She didn’t advise to take less or take a short break.

I've been a health coach for the last 30 years with extensive training in functional medicine and the main health issue I am seeing these days is GUT! People are sensitive to just about everything they put in their mouth. Why? Taking everything from antibiotics to eating junk. The fix? Syntol AMD. Restoring gut function is number 1 as it can cause a host of autoimmune issues. Number 2 is ferritin levels! 90% of the men and women I check have very low ferritin levels and most physicians don't even bother checking it. If your levels are below 100ng/mL, then you are iron deficient regardless of what your hemoglobin is! Symptoms? Chronic fatigue, hair fall, brittle nails, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog, blurred vision, feeling cold, leg pain, exercise intolerance, and the list goes on and on. Number 3 is hormones, and number 4 is thyroid. Fix the gut first, then fix the ferritin, and see how much better you feel!

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

@@WendyWzOpinion Hi, it really depends on what your CBC looks like. If you have low hemoglobin, MCH, MCHC, etc.. If you are iron deficient without anemia, then the protocol is different when taking iron. For example, taking iron with vitamin C lowers hepcidin and helps with anemia! However, if you want to target ferritin, then you must raise hepcidin levels by taking 65-70mg of iron 2-3X per day. This will prevent you from absorbing most of the iron because the body increases hepcidin when it sees a large influx of ingested iron. This is the body's way of protecting you from iron overload. So, how does ferritin increase? Well, your body is constantly getting rid of OLD red blood cells and the iron from those cells will get recycled by the body. When hepcidin levels are HIGH, your body will THINK it has enough iron and it will shuttle that iron into storage which in this case will be ferritin. What kind of iron to take depends on the person. Someone with gut issues should take a liposomal version as it doesn't need stomach acid to break it down. If someone has iron deficiency with anemia, that is another protocol based on the numbers. For example, someone with a ferritin less than 10 with a hemoglobin less than 12 would need an iron infusion. Most docs would discount it, but I have seen countless people suffer for years because their physician never checked their ferritin levels. So, please make sure you consult with your physician OR someone that is well versed in iron metabolism otherwise iron could hurt you, especially if you have underlying health issues, inflammation, infection, etc.. Oh, and I didn't talk about copper! You can have an iron deficiency simply because you are deficient in copper! It can get complicated, but I've been doing this for years so while I may make it sound easy, the average health professional may not even know what I am talking about. Take care!

I've asked a few physicians about blood viscosity because I'm thinking maybe it's been studied in hematology. The various blood types have a variable viscosity. Think of oil , some oil is thick, some oil super slick, others watery like. Now one would think that since type o blood is thinner and type b blood is the thickest which literally proves viscosity and with that said I question all the medications affecting some people and benefitting others ..... Like the clotting factor as well. It would be more complicated if all blood types were to be considered in every medical aspect. Another example some foods or herbs should never be consumed after a surgery because of the anti-,clotting factor and there's got to be a science in it all perhaps certain blood types they should rathen use the patients own blood serum after or prior to surgery rather than using anti clotting agents like Coumadin or whatever. They would be required to draw blood a week or whenever prior to planned surgery and separate the serum from the blood with a centrifuge ...

Sure enough, when I researched this topic, there's a huge amount of information agreeing with this. My cardiologist says stay with eating fish, but cut out the supplements. It might be due to the oil in these supplements being rancid. I eat sardines almost daily and salmon at least once a week. I hate being in A-Fib, though strangely enough, I recently return to sinus rhythm after a nap. Getting an ablation in a few days after 2 cardioversions failed.

[@sl4983]

What does an ablation do?

[@lsmith992]

Re supplements, if you buy the bottled oil rather than capsules you can tell if its rancid. I get the oil with lemon so it tastes OK.

[@LinA-it9vd]

My girlfriend threw a clot landed in her heart and her cardiologist said no vitamins D or K and to cut out leafy veg.

[@bradtozier6776]

Darling, get one of those Sunday through Monday pill separators and lay out all of your supplements for the week - or two. Take them with dinner. Easier to remember. Yes, Threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier. Best for specific brain health, but glycinate is a good all-around magnesium supplement. Do what's necessary to keep your vitamin D level up. Mine is always between 80 and 100.

[@CD318]

Dr. Boz is so easy to look at...

[@juliawillmer2528]

I take Shaklee Omega 3 and never burp them up! They are the best! All I take is Shaklee!

[@robertkreamer7522]

Never take D 3 without K2 they are synergistic . Plus K2 assists in keeping calcium free forming in your blood and is critical in keeping it in your bones where it belongs . It’s a complex process but the result is keeping arterial calcification at bay . Magnesium Glycinate is good all around . BTW I take 10 k units of D3 / k2 three times a week and yes I live in Florida. However I am 79 and my theory is as you age your skin is much less able to act as the D catalyst imitator . Nobody is going to research this , no money it it lol .

[@larsnystrom6698]

You could meassure the blood level of vitamin D, i.e., calcidiol 25(OH)D. And keep the level in the range 50 -- 100 ng/ml, Then you don't have to worry about the age related reduction of vitamin D production. We need some sun, but not too much. So sepatating the need of vitamin D from the need of sun might be a good thing, That means both sun and supplements. It's true that the research about vitamin D is abysmal, but we can still see that it's good for us to keep it in the high end of the range I gave. The immune system seems to be well supported already at the lower end, but the reduction of cancer risk seems to need a little more. But we don't know the optimal level for that, because no one researches that!

It's really good when you watch something like this, and all 3 of the supplements you mention are already part of my 4 supplement regimen. Vindication for my research.

[@RRob-pf4hp]

If you are taking vit D 3+ K2 you must take magnesium for proper absorption.

[@dilettanter]

@@RRob-pf4hp not disagreeing - just unsure what you meant. You need D3 and K2 in order to absorb magnesium? Or you need magnesium to absorb D3 and K2.? Does magnesium uptake get influenced by d3 and k2?

I just learned that any kind of autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's for me) means D3 may be harder to absorb. 😢 I take 30K a day now with K1/K2, magnesium, and zinc together. I did 20K for 6+ months and was only at 32!!

[@Jayla-dj2gj]

My Dr. says that happens when you have chronic infections. Vit D has to stay low so you can fight off bacteria better. Pumping up with D isn't the answer but you should get sunshine for all other benefits. I don't know if he's right, but I stopped D due to not being able to keep K up even with high supplementation.

[@njsongwriter]

32 ng/mL IS a healthy level. Don't believe all the vitamin D hype.

I ate sardines for breakfast, everyday for 3 months. No problem, doused with lemon juice, ACV, and EVOO, they were a delicious breakfast. Then I went on holiday and drank alcohol in excess for the first time, since the 2nd heart attack. My breakfast would not sit, I was about to lose it, so I put my hand over my mouth, and they came out through my nose. Had to switch to mackerel after that.

[@KenJackson_US]

It's kind of confusing that the triglyceride form of a supplement would be considered good when triglycerides in the blood are so bad.

[@trail.blazer]

The very high level of triglycerides that is found in blood serum is typically caused by too many carbs. That is carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia. On low carb your body, adapts to using triglycerides for energy so that will lower them, plus you have less triglycerides from the carbs. The increase in blood triglycerides from something like MCT oil is typically very small. Black coffee with no additives can increase triglycerides, not because it contains any, but because it affects metabolism.

[@KenJackson_US]

@@trail.blazer OK, so do the triglycerides in the supplement not make it into the blood?

[@trail.blazer]

@@KenJackson_US Triglycerides are not bad. Too high triglycerides are bad. If you are using supplements that contain triglycerides, a small amount of triglycerides from the supplement will make it into your blood. If you are ongoing high carb and your triglycerides are too high, that supplement is maybe not making much of a difference but is still bad to increase it even further. If you are low carb, it will still maybe increase blood triglycerides a little bit, but it is not a problem because your triglycerides are still good. Your body is also possibly better adapted to use those triglycerides. Exceptions being people that have metabolic disorders (eg rare genetic) that cause hypertriglyceridemia and do not clear triglycerides from the blood.

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

I don't know if it's peri-menopause or what, but I was low in Vitamin D in my bloods last year. I'm Australian, so skin cancer is always front of mind. But, I live in an Australian city that is so sunny, and has scientific proof that people who live here only need 15-20 minutes of morning sun to hit the daily amount. I did this for three months and had my bloods done - and was shocked to learn I'd dropped down 10! So, back on the VD3 K2 supplements. I think people might rely on the sun but maybe due to environmental factors (pesticides, water quality, etc.) we're not absorbing it like we used to.

[@zeroceiling]

Omega 3 / fish oil….recently tested by an independent lab…on the shelves of a number of retail stores have found a worrying number of the products actually contain rancid fish oil well past its prime.

[@trail.blazer]

Yes. That is why I stopped taking fish oil supplements. They are not a good way of getting delicate marine oils. Same goes for krill oil, etc.

[@beebop9808]

Sheesh, best stay clear of the fish sauce if smelly fish aren't your cup of tea. Those jokers rot the fish in the sun for a while before the even start to make the sauce with it. Little sweet Vietnamese gal I worked with years ago told me how they make the stuff while we were at lunch. Even after I explicitly told her NOT to tell me what I was eating! hahaha

[@zeroceiling]

@@beebop9808 actually drying it in the sun..or packing it with salt..or pickling it..even smoking it…is perfectly fine…the problem is when fresh oil is allowed to sit exposed to oxygen for some extended period of time…before being encapsulated….that creates the issue..

[@kronos77]

Except for one problem....other studies have shown just the opposite. There are different ways to determine rancidity. Besides, even if a "worrying" number of fish oil supplements are rancid, what about the ones that arent?

[@trail.blazer]

@@kronos77 There are some supplements that are not a problem. That's great, but how do *you* know if the supplement that you are taking at any specific time is rancid or not? Or if the previous/next batch is rancid, or if it contains formaldehyde? Maybe it is better to occasionally eat some fresh fish or even tinned fish.

[@vickilahtinen7254]

I read this on dr Rhonda Patrick’s site “Magnesium threonate may not be optimal for meeting the RDA because it contains little elemental magnesium. Consequently, people considering supplemental magnesium threonate for its possible brain health benefits should not count it toward their RDA goal. To ensure adequate magnesium intake, especially if one's dietary intake does not meet or exceed the RDA, supplementing with an alternate form of organic magnesium with a higher elemental magnesium content, such as magnesium glycinate, is advised.”

Not strictly true, you need to do more research
