The 1 Thing You're Doing Wrong with Your Vitamin D! Dr. Mandell

In this video, we dive into the intriguing world of vitamin D supplementation, exploring the best and worst methods to ensure your body effectively absorbs this essential nutrient. Did you know that vitamin D plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels, supporting immune function, and promoting healthy bones?
*Best Ways to Take Vitamin D:*
1. *With Healthy Fats:* Since vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, taking it with a meal containing healthy fats (like avocado, nuts, or olive oil) can enhance absorption by ensuring that your body effectively utilizes it.
2. *Morning Sunshine:* Natural sunlight is nature's way of delivering vitamin D. Just 15-30 minutes of sun exposure can boost your levels while promoting overall well-being.
3. *Consistent Dosage:* Taking a daily dosage rather than megadoses infrequently ensures a steady supply, allowing your body to maintain optimal levels without the risk of toxicity.
*Worst Ways to Take Vitamin D:*
1. *On an Empty Stomach:* Taking vitamin D without any accompanying fats can lead to poor absorption. Your body may miss out on its benefits, leaving you vitamin D-deficient despite supplementation.
2. *Over-Supplementation:* Popping high-doses sporadically can lead to toxicity, throwing your calcium metabolism out of balance and potentially causing harm.
3. *Ignoring Blood Tests:* Skipping regular check-ups to monitor your vitamin D levels can leave you in the dark about your health status, putting you at risk for deficiencies or excesses.
Join me as we unravel the science behind vitamin D, and learn how to harness its benefits effectively to elevate your health!

I always take my vitamin D3 with my evening meal so it doesn't make me sick. I am happy to know I have been doing it eight. I was recently in the hospital for 4 months and 5 weeks was in a medically induced coma. When they found out I don't have teeth and cant eat as balamced as I used to they checked everything to see if I need a supplememt. All of my levels were great. Thank you for all of the good information you give us.💜🦋

[@marymiles9922]

I didn't know that! I always take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Thank you so much! 🙏

Yep, vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, hence, why it should be taken with food that contains fat.

[@danielploy9143]

Those D3 pills come with some type of oil inside the gelcaps, it’s stated on the bottle.

[@MzladyGrinn]

I take 1 tablespoon of good olive oil twice a day with my supplements. My turmeric supplement, for pain, has been much more effective since starting this regimen.. Make sure to get your fats! Thank you Dr Mandell…

[@BAR55825]

I have learned to take my Vitamin D3 AFTER I eat my meals. I’ve been doing this for a while. Also, if we can spend 15-20 minutes out in the sun (in the mornings) it will trigger our brains to produce serotonin which is needed for energy and vitality. Studies have also shown that sun exposure improves our brain function. Thanks Dr Mandell for all your wonderful and expertise in helping us. May God Bless you and your mother. 🙏🏻♥️

That‘s very interesting 🙌 I took my Vitamin D3 and K2 drops ( 10.000 i. U. ) in the morning on an empty stomach and then drink water with my other vitamins, probiotics and Omega 3 drops mixed together after that 🤔 I think I will adjust the timing and take my D3 and K2 drops directly before my evening meal 😃 Thank you so much for that information 👍

[@virtualwhispers]

I would love for Dr. Mandell to make a video of 3 meals a day samples of what they would be - There is SO much information on his channel of the different foods - nuts - vitamins and minerals - I would love to see how we should be eating (The 3 Meals) every day to include the best of his channel's advice. - - Like what kind of 3 meals he eats every day to incorporate the best nutrition.

[@karenmiller129]

I take 10,000 iu's of Vit D3 (in coconut oil) with K2 as MK7 daily. Being an outdoorsy person who lives in Australia I also get plenty of sunshine during the warmer months. Unfortunately I don't trust many of our food supplies unless it's 100% organic and even then I'm still suspicious so I regularly take my Vit D and have for yrs. I take it every day with 3gms of a good quality Vit C, a great Magnesium combo, Zinc and B12. Haven't had the 💉 and haven't had as much as a runny nose. I've found this combo of vitamins (plus a fresh homemade organic diet and regular exercise) keeps me healthy and well. I'm in my early 60's and feel fantastic! Thanks always Dr Mandell for your caring and concise information. I've followed you for a long time and you've helped me immensely to make wise choices regarding my health and well-being 🙏💗✨️

[@audiophileman7047]

Yes, this chemist agrees with your recommendation to take Vitamin D3 with food that contains fat. This is exactly what I do. I take 20,000 IU's (500 micrograms) of Vitamin D3 divided between lunch and dinner with food that contains fat to help with high blood pressure. If I didn't have higher blood pressure, I'd take 10,000 IU's (250 micrograms) of Vitamin D3 per day with one meal or snack containing fat. It's always best to consult with you doctor on how much Vitamin D3 to take before setting a limit for yourself. 💪👊

So glad you told me.

[@LongevityLabYT]

Great video, Dr. Mandell! As a fellow wellness creator, I appreciate your insights on vitamin D supplementation. It's fascinating how this nutrient plays such a crucial role in our overall health, yet so many people are unaware of their levels. I’d like to add that recent studies suggest that vitamin D absorption can be significantly enhanced when taken with healthy fats, as it is a fat-soluble vitamin. Incorporating sources like avocado or olive oil into meals can help maximize its benefits. Additionally, while supplementation is important, I encourage viewers to consider getting their levels checked regularly. This can help tailor their intake to their specific needs, as you mentioned. Thanks for shedding light on this vital topic!

Advice: Keep your Vitamin D level in the upper half of the range. Only then you will see the boosting effects. In the lower half your body will simply function correctly. Please talk to your doc about the dosage. Too much has very negative side effects.
