How do you take the oil, say olive oil, to increase absorption? Teaspoon at time of taking D3? Any other good uses for olive oil? Do tanning beds increase D3 levels? Thanks.
Some people take a spoon full of oil with their D3 gel-cap, some take Cod Liver oil which has D3 in it. Or, you could just take your D3 after a meal that contained fat...
Certain tanning beds do have good Vit D rays. You just have to ask the tanning place you go which bed they have and always request that bed. Our local place has like 10 beds and only one helps with Vit D
I take mine with my bulletproof coffee in the AM.
KETO Diamond Tanning Beds? Get Real! Tanning beds are an abomination.
Sports research has one d3 with coconut oil and k2. Excellent brand.
I found out about my severe vitamin D deficiency in March and in two months my levels went upto 33 ng from 7. I am aiming for 55ng.I started with 4K IU of d3 then went on to 10k IU along with magnesium, fish oil. It was life changing! I also had to correct my severe B12 and iron deficiency with shots and infusions respectively.I took a zinc + b complex capsule too. I also made some dietary changes by limiting dairy, gluten and sugar. I am a different person now. I used to have extreme hair fall, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, poor balance, bone pain, weak teeth, numbness in my toes, lack of concentration , poor memory, depression, anxiety and brain fog. My career, social life, relationships everything was suffering for so many years. I feel like over 75% of my problems are gone. It didn’t take too long, only a few months for this entire transformation. Please do not ignore nutritional deficiencies . I hope this helps people 🙏🏼
Sage k thank you so much!!!!
I've been suffering these same symptoms and just started supplementing. It's only been 2 weeks and I'm feeling so much better!
For the benefit of those reading your comment please clarify how often you took/take the amount of Vitamin D3! 1x/day or 1x/wk, etc? Thank you!
Do you mind sharing which brand of supplements you took plz.
My Dr wrote a prescription vitamin D2 of 50,000 units; once per week for 8 weeks then I'll have to take over the counter. I need to check back with her for the dosage of over the counter once I'm finished with the prescription.
How lucky are your patients to have a doc who is so knowledgeable and open minded
I heard that vitamin d is basically rat poison. Is this true? I watched it on u tube
Yes I wish he were my Dr!!
@@rondamcdaniel8865 , No it's not true.....
My son’s new doc said to eliminate the 5,000 i.u. VitD I had been giving him for most of his adult life (he is developmentally disabled). Within 5 days his anxiety depression EXPLODED! Putting him back on it today, that is the only change we have made....thank you, Dr. Berry❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hlw please help me also how you use the medicine
Hopefully you got a new doctor
It's amazing how I trust Dr Berry more than my primary Dr.
My Dr has never been informative on anything that I ask.
Phyllis Tilden dame here I feel like there not helping me so I can keep coming back I don’t trust her at all
I never thought that I would be online, but Dr Berry helps, if I have a question, I'll watch his video on that symptom..
My Dr is in and out of room within 10 mins
GET A YOUNGER DOCTOR, FEMALE ARE THE SMARTEST USUALLY. and take your D3 and B complex no matter what. I think doctors have been lazy, Dr Berry is waking us all up to better medicine!!!! Love him for this!

Vitamin D is vital for good health and vitality. You want to keep your Vitamin D, 25 levels between 50-100 to receive the full benefit of this amazing Vitamin/Pro-Hormone...
Do you think some people feel better than others with a vitamin D level over 50 ng/ml?
I have a friend who said he felt terrible at a level of 28 and didn't feel optimal until he hit 70.
Mine is a lot lower at 16. He said he felt depressed, irritable, and fatigued at 28. On my own lab report, they say a level of 30 is the low end of normal. I guess even getting just a bit lower than 30 can cause different people more problems than it would seem? (At least to me, this is curious if some labs are claiming that 30 is the low normal.)
Dr. Berry I see you said vitamin/pro-hormone... Made me curious If I had a Total Thyroidectomy will this affect how my body is going to/not going to process Vitamin D? My levels are very low and doc has me on D2 once a week and on D3 rest of the week...... I stopped doing this because in my head this does seem to be working and I feel its not right..... mind you my Doc never stated to take with healthy fats either.
KenDBerryMD thank you Dr, I suffer from this because I always feared drinking milk and eating cheese or ice cream. But, you showed me I can eat cheese again after twenty years.
My vitamin level is 5.
KenDBerryMD Thank you so much for your great wisdom sir. I’ve utilized many of the advice videos that you’ve posted on RUclips and it has help me immensely! God bless you and your beautiful wife. 🙌🏽😊
I’ve have been taking 6,000 iu’s a day and haven’t been sick in 8 years !

How often do you test your blood? You can get toxic levels since it is fat soluble vitamin and hence it stays with you for longer periods of time.

Very informative. Glad to see a Dr. Talk about how important vitamins are to our health. I could hear you, but I also have the volume up loud anyway, so it is hard to know.
I love the fact that you're a doctor (Huge respect) and you admit that you don't get much teaching on vitamins such as Vit D. Really, massive respect to you! My own doctor always tells me I'm not deficient in VD, I ended up doing a private test and was extremely low!
Great video doctor and thank you for your honesty!
Sounds like your “doctor” might need to get fired lol. I’m so glad you found out the truth.
A lot of school is the bare minimum and it's up to you and experience after to really learn what you want or further your knowledge.
Finally some knowledge and honesty
I live in Canada and they found a serious vitamin D deficiency last year. Now I’m like a new person. Even my dentist asked me what my secret was! I said vitamin D, B12, magnesium as directed by my naturopath and it’s amazing how much better I feel.
Lori what brand and how often did you take it.
I live in canada as well. You say your dentist, do you mean your mood improved or your teeth?
How much vitamin d and no k2?

Thank you for sharing! We could hear you loud and clear on our end.
Thank you Dr.Berry for this info. Also, I am on my 2nd week keto and loving it. Thanks to your knowledge you share. I do have some questions as far as supplements, I don't have a primary care doctor.
I’m a natural redhead and I live in South Texas. Can’t venture into the sun too long without burning. I have to take a Vitamin D supplement everyday. I’m blessed enough to find a doctor that knew to check my Vitamin D level...it was extremely low. Before finding my doctor, I had repeatedly been sick with colds/sinus infections...5 within 4 months. I was also exhausted all the time...didn’t matter how much I slept. My mood was low. Anyways, feeling 110% better now
I can hear you loud & clear! Love your video Dr Ken ❤❤❤
I could hear you just fine. I was doing keto with no good results you got my attention and now I am hooked on you .
1000UI of vitamin D3 a day has considerably reduced my menstrual cramps. I started taking vitamin D3 after watching a video of Dr Ken Berry. I am a believer now 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for the wonderful Video, Dr Ken D Berry, I really appreciate your helpful advice!!
Listening from Norway, and hear your loud and clear. Great subject, important too.
Thank you Dr. Berry! I followed your advice, did my bloodwork, found that my Vitamin D is 20(pretty bad) which affected my mood and psoriasis outbreaks, went on a 5000UI K2+D3 suplimetns a day for 6 months and now I'm at 38 with no psoriasis !!! - for others reading this, I don't say is a cure, but is definetly a huge improvement in my life for which I'm greatfull !!!

@@hornermike6940 not true...doesn't happen. Do the research..it actually reduces chance of kidney stones! My family has genetic disposition to kidney stones and I also got them too. I have been doing vitamin D for years now (6000+) daily and never had a stone since.
Thank you Dr. Berry for educating me on D3. By the way your audio is loud and clear.
The audio is perfect. Thanks for your information on vitamin D.
I was just sweating profusely 24/7. Even when I was asleep. My doctor decided to do my yearly lab work and checked my vit D because I was always just feeling low energy even though I take vitamin B. Results ... my vit D was a 10. Needless to say after 2 weeks now, my sweating has decreased and I'm not walking around like a zombie anymore!
Since im low as ever im wondering how your doing im just going to start taking prescription vitamin d...I sweat so badly is a joke I can't wait to feel better, plus my belly fat might go down!

Thank you for sharing knowledge. This was very helpful!
I agree with the D2 vs D3. My level was at 17 when I started D2. Three years later, it was still under 20! I started D3 and am now in the upper 30s. It’s still low, but it’s going up which never happened until I started the D3.
How long did it take to get from 17 to 30s. I am deficient at 17. How many ius did u take per day?
Keep up the excellent work.
Will do. Ideas for future videos?
I love your informative, helpful videos.
That’s a great video Doc, shared it widely when I searched and watched it again
Thanks for the info doc. I just started taking D3 and will monitor it.
Finding a trusted physician is the key n very difficult. Functional MD is usually a better choice but not always covered by insurance. After 50 years in medical profession I rarely found any MD who was interested in latest research that did NOT involve a drug company. Follow the money!Thank u for getting the info out there.
You're welcome! Future video ideas?

@@KenDBerryMD I can't find any honest info on what nutrients are depleted when drinking too much coffee and if too much can cause more pain and worsen osteoarthritis.

This put my mind at ease. Thanks, Doc
Thank you, Sir. Audio coming through just fine. I appreciate your communication skills and your enjoyable presentation of facts without being overly verbose. Damn good programs, thanks!
Please keep the nutrition videos coming. Would like to hear your thoughts on diet drinks like soda, juice and tea.
Good idea! Video in the works
donald rumsfield owns a drink company and got fda to let him put aspertame in all diet drinks and its poisinous to your brain (puts holes in the brain!!!) my sister used the blue packet of sweetner in tea for years, it killed her, dont let doctor lie to you! it will mimic parkinsons but alot of ppl are dieing from aspertame! in some foods too
I think he's say, ...Soda is sugar water. NIX IT NOW. It's liquid carbs. So bad. Juice, nix it. Water, just water is perfect. Your body LOVES clean, pure water. Most teas and coffee are diuretic, causes you to lose water. Not good. Only once in a while. Get on your D3, B complex, K2, Magnezium and fish oil! Feel great!
Thanks doc!! Glad you care to share this important info!! Magnesium is super important along with it too though. It aids in the metabolism/activation of the vit. D, so it actually can be used by the body. So, if taking the vitD make sure how your magnesium level is. And unfortunately only a intracelluler test gives the real/correct level.. Not the regular way that the doc's do. One last thing also , vit. K2 as MK7 .
Definitely post the link to the studies and add them to the description.
Loud and clear!
Do you have a cod liver oil recommendation? Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you, thank you for this video, Dr. Berry. This gives me hope that I could get better from this "mystery" condition of which I have been suffering for a year now. NONE of the doctors I have seen mentioned a vit D deficiency, despite all the blood tests and a 2 day hospitalization. It had been mind boggling that not one of my doctors recognized where my problem is coming from. It wasn't until I stumbled on a blood result that indicated that my vit d was at below 30 that I decided to help myself to vit D3 supplementation that my energy level allowed me to walk around on my own for an hour in the mall without feeling that I might die if I did not stop to sit down. This condition is so terrible and yet not one of my ivy league educated doctors could diagnose it. They think I had been making up my symptoms, or I am just depressed or I need exercise! Unbelievable! These so called health professionals have been disappointing and discouraging. On the other hand, your video had been helpful. Thank you.
North Yippie so has it helped you ?
Hi, I feel you! Get on a good Magnizium CITRATE like he recommends, it activates the D3 better and a good B COMPLEX! I was like you, not anymore!
Yeah you!!!
My Doctor prescribed me 20 000 iu 2x a week for 7, weeks, Vitamin D, does that mean am real low
I think that in many cases these mystery conditions are small fiber neuropathy/some centralized pain syndrome.
Which doesn't really make it any less of a mystery as they can't solve it nor understand completely why it happened

Is there a general recommendation for how long to stay in the sun daily, in addition to D3 supplements? Thanks for all the important info on vit D!
Hi Dr. Berry You have renewed my hope that medical doctors might actually promote good health in their patients as opposed to just pulling out the prescription pad. I can’t get enough of your videos! One question...is it important to take Vitamin D in conjunction with the proper ratio of Vitamin A.? No mention was made about Vitamin A in you video as it relates to an increased intake of Vit. D. Just wondering...Thanks
Thank you, audio sounded great. I have started taking vitamin D and notice and severe difference in my mood, fatigue, and migraines when I stop taking it or miss a few days. Thanks for the info.
Stunning knowledge and great info 😍 thanks doc 🍻
Please check your vitamin labels everyone...I just realized ther is MALTODEXTRIN added to my vitamin D3. Sugar!! The label even says "guaranteed no added sugar"etc.
Thanks for all you and Neisha do Dr. Berry💕
Very interesting video. D3 has just recently gotten my attention (doctor ordered it without saying why) and I was amazed to find the list of symptoms reads like my medical history. Crossing my fingers ...
Re the sound: volume is fine, however you have a "smooth" voice (me, too) that older listeners may have trouble absorbing. Hearing loss is not just about volume, it's also about lack of clarity in picking up consonants. Careful enunciation (but not to the point of stiffness) helps. So does taking those hearing aids out of the drawer and actually wearing them.
Thanks i hear you loud and clear
I hear you fine! Good video!
Can you talk about supplement? Do you recommend a specific brand? Much love from the Netherlands
This needs updating I feel. The Vutamin D3 listed is in olive oil.
Also, K2 (MK4) should always be taken with higher doses of vitamin D supplementation.
Yes.
And Magnisium because D3 can deplete it
can hear you just fine. thanks as always!
Thank you Dr Berry for your knowledge on this subject. Many thanks as I needed to know what you have just told us. God bless you.
Thank you doc. My vitamin D was just tested. My level is 6. I never feel well, I'm alway so tired and my hips hurt to the point I have trouble walking. I just started prescribed vitamin D meds. I can't wait to feel myself again. It's been over 8 years of total anguish.

True words DR Berry! Greetings from Sweden!
Thanks for this video! My vitamin D 25 test came back at 19, definitely low! I’ve started taking a D3 supplement that also has cod liver oil and omega 3. Also taking a vitamin K2 supplement because I’ve heard elsewhere that the combination is better for calcium absorption. Also, I can hear your audio but I do have to turn my volume all the way up with your videos. Maybe it’s an option you can change when you upload to RUclips? Have a great day!
My 25 oh vitamin D is also 19. Are you also facing anxiety and balance problems ?? Please reply...
@@aniruddhkarekar2818 A bit late but anyway, yeah, my vitamin D is 16.5 and i'm always tired, can't get enough sleep no matter how much i sleep, also have anxiety and depression, i think my balance is not great as well. Not sure if it's related to vitamin D level but i hope things will get better when i raise it
Great video Dr. Berry! I'm going to be using this video as a reference for my research paper on the relationship between vitamin D and depression. As far as the study on body fat in the midsection with vitamin D, it is more likely that subjects who were given vitamin D had higher energy levels, so they would be more likely to exercise, as well as maybe have an increased metabolic rate.
My energy level is not high. I'm losing weight in my stomach. I haven't exercised in 2 weeks and I'm not fit lol. I'm glad I started vitamin d3.

My greeting and thanks form Sweden.
Thanks.
I want Dr. Berry as my doctor!
Eleven years ago I got really sick, not too sure if it was the flu or some other kind of virus, it wasn't anything like I've ever had before. I had read that D3 helps with colds and flu. I began taking 5000 IU's a day. Sorry no disrespect here, but I don't really go to doctors (long story there, however after listening to a bunch of your videos, I would seek your advice!), so haven't had levels checked. I live in Idaho so less sun here. What I have found with taking D3 is my moods in the winter are better and lo and behold I have not had a cold or flu in 11 years!
Just an FYI, you can order lab tests online and get it checked at a nearby clinic skipping doctors/insurance entirely.
@@IT_Farhan Is this lab test pricey?
@@soniarand9119 Check out Ulta Lab Tests, I've had a good experience with them. My D2/D3 test was $39 and I had another test done as well and you add a ~$8 lab draw fee (depends on your lab of choice). I got my result in 1 or 2 business days. I was worried after moving to Seattle with minimal sunlight but I was taking Viva Naturals D3 5000IU usually every day. I ended up with a 49 value and was super satisfied.
@@IT_Farhan thank you, I will check this out! :D
Linda Pittenger Linda I noticed that the autism doctors were trying to push or we're really promoting the children who have autism to take vitamin D3 but they were also telling them not to drink milk which is enhanced with D3 then they were talking about giving them GC MAF which is a d-binding protein do you think that your vitamin D intake was killing viruses?
I can hear you fine ! Very helpful and informative video !
Can hear you fine. Thank you for the research
Great video Dr Berry very informative and to the point. I was just recently diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and was given a prescription for 50,000 units of vitamin D to be taken once a week. I was recently feeling some anxiety and from some videos I've watched on vitamin D deficiency, that is one of many symptoms. I just started taking it a week ago and just took my second dose today. Haven't really felt much anxiety lately so I hope it helps to get rid of it completely. Thanks again doc. Btw, I can hear you fine 👍.

@@ghjgjgjttytttt I got the same prescription and it got rid of my heart paps immediately
Great study i would love the link
Thank you for this very clear and down to earth video. You have a very trust inspiring presence. Ha ha. I would definitely want to see that study that showed the waste-reducing effect of vitamin D
Hear you fine ! Thanks for all you do you are very appreciated !
13 years ago I had a heart attack. After some stents I read there was a study that showed there was a correlation between Northern countries and low vitamin D and heart disease.
I asked my primary care to check mine and he said he seen no reason for checking it as I worked outside, but included it at the next blood test. Sure enough it was way low.
thank you, Vitamin D levels is what I have been looking for. Your last comment about reducing the size of my stomach? there is no sign of this working on me yet. I guess I just need to eat less 👍
I heard you just fine and I appreciate all of your videos and this one was perfect as well, thank you!!
Thank you very much for your valuable insight. I am surely benefiting from your advice.
Another great video Dr Berry! Yes I could hear you fine. Due to having to making it short and straight to the point I understand why you didn't get into the scientific terminology and how D works, so I want to just add some info if I may. VitaD3 is actually made from animals (cholecalciferol) which is actually easier and preferred by our liver to be synthesized into 25(OH)D3 then re-synthesized again into 1,25(OH)2D3 by our the kidneys, the actual hormone that our bodies need. VitaD2 (ergocalciferol) is made from plants and cannot be fully converted into 25(OH)D3 by the liver. D2 is also cheaper to produce so I don't know why anyone would need a prescription to get a more inferior VitaD supplement. So I would 100% agree with you that #1 sun exposure to UVB rays for us to make our own D3 is best and free. Or to simply eat rich D3 foods, such as oily fish, liver, egg yolk, butter, etc #2 would be to go with D3 (oil capsules preferrably from wild cod or cod liver). #3 would be to go with regular affordable D3 tablets as a last resort taken with olive oil or other healthy fats. Personally I would not even recommend D2 because I think it's a waste of money and for the reason I stated above
Francisco Ballesteros
Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. Sun Exposure
The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest.
However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3. GOD BLESS.
After doing 23andMe, my daughter (17) and I found out we have more than one gene 🧬 that affects how our bodies assimilate vitamin D. Her last blood draw it was low. Now we know why. I was already giving her 2000 IUs. Since the last draw I upped it to 5000. It has made a huge difference in her. She was anxious, stressed, lacked concentration and motivation. We kind of wish we had known this earlier. At 5, her pediatrician noticed her growth rate had slowed dramatically. He ran a blood panel. The only thing he noticed that was wrong was gluten sensitivity. Well...we went down that path and also saw an endocrinologist for growth issues. I think if the standard for D3 serum levels were higher and he knew to check the right one things would have been A LOT different for her. At least we know now.
Great video by the way!!!
I did the 23 and me as well. Where did you find the gene that affect vitamin d
Please share what about 23 and Me gave you information on being able to assimilate vit d or not? Thank you.
@@maureengreen8240 one needs to download their raw data and then upload to a site that will breakdown the information. The technical and thorough one is Prometheus (sp?) Another one that is a bit easier to understand is Very Well (I think that is the name). It has been a few years since so the names maybe a bit different. Note: I did this and did NOT buy the health version.
i still hear you loud and clear in 2020 Dr Berry!
As always... Great Video information... on the vitamin D test 25, what result should I be expecting to see to be sufficient?
I can hear you fine doc rock on!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Will do.
First of all, I want to say that I really like your videos. They have really helped me out. I am taking a daily dose of vitamin D3 now and I feel better than I have ever felt before. I have so much more energy.
Yesterday I have heard some very bad news from one of my best friends. She came back from the hospital, because she had taken some allergy tests. The doctors there have told her that she has a very rare allergy to vitamin D. They have tested her blood before and her vitamin D levels were at 14. They have also done skin tests. They told her she is the 4th person worldwide to have this rare reaction to vitamin D. She can't eat fish without throwing up. She couldn't take vitamin D capsules without throwing up.
I was with her and her family yesterday and everyone was very sad. Her mother was afraid that she might die, because one of the doctors told her that out of the 3 other people, one person died during treatment.
It was so good that I have seen many of your videos and now have a little knowledge about vitamin D. Ofcourse I will be very careful about what I say and leave things to the doctors and expert. I was able to give them some peace and rest by providing them information about vitamin D and how it works.
I can't imagine that only 4 people in the world have this ( although those are just the confirmed cases). Apparantly she has had this her entire life. The symptoms of vitamin D deficiency have been a life long experience for her. Also her skin tone has more pigment, because of her Turkish heritage.
I was wondering what your expertise says about this.
martijn stuart - I wonder if there is a deficiency of something else that is preventing the D absorption? Vitamin D has to have cofactors like magnesium & other vitamins, minerals & trace elements in order to be absorbed properly. The sun makes D sulphate in the skin which in turn helps to make cholesterol. Some people have issues with sulphur. Vitamin D is required for B vitamin absorption & production in the gut. Because most of the research goes into drugs rather than nutrients, sadly this field is still somewhat of a mystery. There are some doctors who understand the D hormone & it’s supporting elements like Dr. Coimbra & Ken Berry, but they are few & far between.
Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR. Sun Exposure
The best way to get vitamin D3 is through sun exposure. Go outside and get some sun, especially in the mid-day when it’s the strongest.
However, many of us use sun block, which is good for our skin but not so helpful when it comes to the production of vitamin D3. By blocking out the UVA and UVB rays, sun block can interfere the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D3. GOD BLESS.
Thank you for this video!
I found this very informative! Thank you!!
Audio just fine, Doc. I very much appreciate your videos, this one included.
Eight years ago, Mrs. Boss and I had to find a new physician. We were lucky to find a brand new MD right out of school was on top of everything. (His sister and his wife are also physicians.) The first thing he did was put us on 4000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily. His comment was: "If all the research I am reading is correct, Vitamin D could be the next miracle drug."
I have been an advocate for vitamin D3 supplementation since I was diagnosed with an extremely low vitamin D level about 10 years ago. It took 6 months of taking 10,000-12,000 IUs a day for me to reach just the middle lab range. F4r I was taking was a high-quality gel-capsule containing fractionated extra virgin coconut oil. A couple of years into trying to raise my level further, I went to order the same capsules but they were out of stock. So I ordered the same ones but in the liquid drops version. Long story short (I know, too late), it turns out that my body very much prefers a liquid drops. My level rose to near the top of the range before the bottle was gone. Fast forward a few years after maintaining that nice high-level... I figured I was good with solid high-level so switch back to the capsules since they are a little cheaper. Happened to have a regular lab check two and a half months into the capsules and my level had dropped quite a bit. So I went right back to the level went right back up.
Pretty interesting. Just goes to show we have to do what works for our individual bodies.
Now, I had never heard about the losing the belly fat part of using vitamin D. I'm here to tell you if that were the case I should be skinny by now, LOL. I'm obese and it's all in the belly. So, no, that didn't work on me, so sorry to say. Keto and intermittent fasting is the answer for belly fat loss, it's really working.
My belly is going down.
Please please shsre info on the Vit d drops???
Just a little question; over the counter Vit d is mixed with seed oils. Could you be doing harm to your body more than doing good?
Vit D gets rid of belly fat if it is caused by high cortisol, adrenal body type
Many thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us. I've only just been diagnosed with very low vitamin d levels and till now like others didn't even know anything about it what it did or how it affected us or how important it is to us....
Ive been suffering chronic muscle fatigue extremely tired even to the point of tremors when holding a cup of tea and feeling absolutely knackered after work..... I've just started taking supplements so we'll have to see what happens Thanks of the information 👍👍👍
