In this video, Rhonda covers:
• Why nearly 7/10 people watching this have insufficient vitamin D levels
• The vitamin D levels that qualify as insufficiency & deficient
• Why vitamin D is much more than a vitamin (it regulates ~5% of the protein-encoding human genome!)
• How sunscreen affects vitamin D3 production
• The key differences between supplemental vitamin D and getting it from the sun
• Is it possible to supplement with too much vitamin D?
• Do you need to take vitamin K1/K2 if you supplement with vitamin D?
• How inadequate magnesium intake increases vitamin D deficiency risk

Virtually every vitamin D supplement now comes with K2..I didn’t like the emphasis on Athletic Green adding K2, like they’re doing something special. You know they’re getting enough unwarranted publicity as it is dr. Patrick. You called them out yourself)) Finally, thank you so much for the eduction 💙

This is why I also take Magnesium Glycinate and Liposomal C to help protect from sunburn

[@jorgesanabria6484]

where can i get magnesium glycinate from and is it okay to have vitamin k2 also?

check out "iherb" you get every supplement you need from there. But you should get the Magnesium Glycinate in capsule form, because it tastes really horrific.

[@alisakimi1]

I'm in Canada, have darker skin and also have genetic markers that make it difficult to keep my vitamin D levels up. I personally need 5,000-7,500 iu's to keep my levels optimal. I tested every 4 months for the first year to optimize my dosage, and now test yearly to make sure that I'm where I need to be.

[@kodowdus]

The term "vitamin D" itself is a misnomer, given that it is a prohormone and that its presence in food sources (like that of phytoestrogens) is incidental worldwide. On that basis, I would submit that the use of "vitamin D (cholecalciferol) supplements" should be referred to as "vitamin D (cholecalciferol) replacement" and therefore as a pharmacological intervention. Moreover, I would submit that we do not know enough at this time to say that the practice of oral "vitamin D" (cholecalciferol) replacement has a metabolic effect that is equivalent to endogenous synthesis from a cholesterol derivative and release into the bloodstream by the human skin upon exposure to sunlight (which also has implications for production of melatonin and other beneficial metabolic processes).

[@lawrenceweinzimer]

Excellent and thorough. Explaining the synergistic substrates (that which acts along with what else) bioavailability metabolism. Also beneficial is discussing conversion mechanisms into hormones... Dr. Rhonda is so approachable and down-to-earth.

[@mariahspapaya]

What I find ironic and perplexing is how I am extremely fair skinned, red hair and all, and I also live in Florida yet am somehow deficient even though according to my genetics, I should be better about naturally synthesizing vitamin d with less sunlight.

[@danfox8819]

Do you wear sunglasses and use sunscreen? If so, you will not create vitamin d adequately.

[@masteronionnorth2341]

My specialist told me to keep supplementing with vitamin D and couldn't praise the benefits enough. He stated that the majority of people are deficient.

[@zenpig6605]

Living in Northern Colorado in my 70's and yes I have been able to lay out in the sun for several days all winter in the last few years. I take 2000 IU 2 days a week along with a teaspoon of cod liver oil every day. Just had the dr. check my D levels for this summer and they are at 58 mg/mL, which I call a win. I do agree that it is a combination of sun exposure , good diet, and some supplementation.

[@pedroaboffa]

Chat GPT answered me: Pedro, your body generates vitamin D when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun. Recent studies suggest that the best times for vitamin D production are typically between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., with midday exposure being the most effective. This is because the sun is at its highest point, and UVB rays can more easily penetrate the atmosphere during these hours. Seasonally, the ability to produce vitamin D changes depending on where you are located. For example, during the winter months in regions far from the equator, the sun's rays are weaker, and UVB exposure is insufficient for your skin to synthesize adequate vitamin D. In contrast, during the summer, shorter periods of sun exposure can be enough to meet your needs. Experts suggest aiming for 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight exposure a few times a week, though this varies depending on skin tone, location, and time of year. If you're in a location where sunlight is limited during certain months, like in northern Europe during winter, supplements or dietary sources of vitamin D may be necessary to maintain healthy levels​

the thing is if you dont get vitamin d, you are more likly to get cancer, you are less happier. Serotin is released and other endorphins when you go in the sun. The Only downside is you can get burnt but I heard people on the carnivore diet dont have these issues, as the dont burn anymore

[@bettusascaino5532]

“During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.” Even in winter, the sun is much hotter here in Australia. I’m originally from Argentina and the sun over there (in winter) is just like a picture on the sky 😁
