How much vitamin D do you need for bone health?

[@richard01983]

Great information, everything I had to figure out on my own over 20 years reversing my osteoporosis. I gave up on endocrinologist pill doctors who knew nothing about the cause and treatment off my osteoporosis. They prescribed pills with very serious side effects that did not increase my bone density over 5 years before I realized I would have to figure out the cause and treatment myself.

[@DrSusanBrown]

Congratulations on your hard work!

[@edward471]

Absolutely great contribution . Thank you Dr. Susan

[@BBurns-vg9om]

Ive just had my Vitamin D3 level tested. Its high,97.2. Im backing off a bit now. The doctor didn't question it!!! Just don't go above 150 reading. I like to be 80. Is that ok Dr Susan. Not taken any now for 3 weeks. Thank you for all your brilliant information. So grateful ❤

[@DrSusanBrown]

You welcome! yes we like a 50-60. Back off and retest in 3 months you can then calibrate your dose after that.

How about vitamin K2 ? It helps tremendously in calcium absorptions. Without K2 calcium will just be in your blood stream and not being absorbed into the bones.

Every time I go to buy magnesium, there are so many types of magnesium to choose from (citrate, glycinate, etc.) and I don't know which to get, so I don't get any... still lacking magnesium. 😞

At end of Dec 2021 I developed pain in the ball of my foot. I was walking about 1 hr a day on a paved path with good supportive athletic shoes. I inserted Superfeet insoles and an additional Dr Sholl's insole into L foot just below the ball of foot with the understanding I was offloading the weight on the ball of the foot when standing/walking. Pain in ball of foot went away for 2 weeks. THEN, I was out walking and there was a Severe pain in the Top of my foot. Did no exercising for 1 week and pain didn't go away. 1/31/22 went to podiatrist and her xrays show a broken 3rd metatarsal. I'm now in a boot allowing bone to heal... Shocked this happened from walking! I am not taking any drugs, don't smoke & eat healthy... How much K do I need? Thanks I already take Vit D.

Great lectures Dr. Brown. If MK7 has such a long half life, is it advised to take 100mcg daily or every other day?

Medicare wouldn't pay for a vitamin D test nor my vitamin B12 test even though I have always shown I am low on these. I think that's deplorable.

[@DrSusanBrown]

HI Kay! This is common that Dr's wont prescribe or insurance wont pay😩 Luckily there are companies now in which you can obtain these test through low cost self testing methods. We link to some options at the bottom of this blog: ecs.page.link/YUadt

[@angelalaskodi3459]

I know this is a super late reply. But have your doctor put a diagnosis code when ordering vitamin d levels. The insurance then has to pay it.

I had a knee replacement and then found out my back and knee were going too. I am going to have another knee surgery. I am scared that the replacements aren't going to hold. I read where the meds the Dr. Gives you take your jaw bone. I refuse to take it. I need help the Dr.said I would need hip surgery next. I am 54 years old.

[@DrSusanBrown]

Melinda, it's wise to start building a lifestyle that will support your replacements and give them longevity. An alkaline diet helps build bone in conjunction with strength training and proper supplementation. Good luck on your journey!

Is Wellbutrin one of the antidepressants that contribute to bone loss?

Hi Madam, What is the min and max need for vitamin d daily intake for osteoporosis people.Is shelcol Hd is enough ?

[@DrSusanBrown]

As Dr. Brown explains, your need for vitamin D will depend on many things such as the season of the year and how much sunlight is available. The best way to asses your requirements for a vitamin D supplement is to test your blood level and try to obtain a 50 to 60 ng/mL level. Read Dr. Brown's blog on this subject. bit.ly/33zZIXp

[@billbosch9127]

Vitamin d3 has a 25 day half life according to a dr on YT. He said if you are low and take 4000iu a day, it can take 3 to 5 months to normalize. However if you take 200,000iu in a week, you can hit normal levels in a few weeks.

15 hours is half life of Vitamin D3.

I’m 67, my bones are great, (I just had a Dexa Scan), but my D level is like 26 and I take 2,000 a day but don’t seem to absorb it. Is it safe to just jump in and begin taking K2 or should I check w my physician first? Just trying to my D up. I do live in Dark Oregon, but was raised in Sunny Lis Angeles. What about a sun lamp? Thanks so much.

[@DrSusanBrown]

HI Cheryl, The body does use around 4000 IU's per day. read this article to learn how to increase your dosage accordingly bit.ly/33zZIXp

[@saltwell80]

What is ng what's that

[@DrSusanBrown]

nanogram :)

[@DrSusanBrown]

HI there- The normal range of vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). We recommend a 50-60 ng/mL level.

[@marjn1030]

What about vitamin d and magnesium? Research taking vitamin d with zinc.

[@DrSusanBrown]

You need magnesium to activate vitamin D. Good to take both!
