I recently bumped my D3 to 8000iu. Used to be 2-4000iu. I experience terrible depression in Fall and Winter. Since I changed my intake I noticed myself feeling much much better.
That's well well over the safe upper limit. Too much vitamin D can cause calcium build up, weaken your bones and even damage your kidneys and your heart.
@@djkenny1202 5000iu is the upper limit and some doctors say that's too much. Anything above that after a period of time is bound to be doing damage to your body.
I struggle with depression and low levels of Vitamin D3. I can attest that this is true. I only take 2000IU daily but it makes a huge difference with depression and immune system. If I stop taking it for awhile, it’s very noticeable with my mood and I end up getting sick.
@@Vixinaful Everyone is different. Vitamins are natural and not like medicine so they'll take longer to effect you. The good part about them tho is that while it'll take longer to see effects, their effects last longer on you as well. I was super depressed and took me about 2-3 months until I finally started feeling normal again. But again, everyone is different.
i had the same experience. Initially i was just taking vitamin d to boost my immune system, but for some reason i started noticing that i experienced depressive episodes less frequently. I noticed the difference after 2-4 months.
I have a low vitamine d at 10 , and i do have anxiety most of the time and depression and since July i started to have suicidal thoughts every single day and huge anxiety i do lose my breath with that anxiety, when i started my vitamin d the suicidal thoughts want away, and i stoped losing my breath when i get anxious. But i still do have anxiety
You should also take vitamin K2 and magnesium. K helps your bones absorb calcium (generally low if vitamin d is low) and magnesium glycinate helps with vitamin d absorption and anxiety. I started taking magnesium glycinate and didn't notice a difference because I took it before sleep. I was feeling anxious the other day so I took one during the day and I feel like it helped for sure.
Good video. Something no one ever discusses is the fact that depression is the body's way to get you to stay stationary so it can heal itself. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
@@elizjawebb6310 do you really need a source? Seems common sense, your brain/body gets tired and lethargic so you dont keep using up all its energy needed for healing.
@@elizjawebb6310 you can Google it. It's not that difficult. It's up to you to do your own research. I'm just letting others know this info. But diet has the most to do with the depression and dis-ease.
@@ruschev2 LMAO thank you! Yeah the info is all over the place. I deal with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and fibro and and and.... I deal with so much and not one of my drs ever told me about the connection between body injury and depression being connected at all. Once I learned that, and then adjusted my diet accordingly I've been doing much better with my life long depression and my flare ups aren't nearly as bad anymore. All of the metals being introduced into our body I think has been causing dis-ease tbh. And they know it too. Most drs don't know this information because they aren't taught correctly. It should really be considered a crime against humanity. The misinformation and only treating the symptoms, that is. I think of it like this... The metals like the aluminum and mercury together create an inflammatory response to begin with. Then the metals in enriched flour etc creates a dissonance in the body. Think of the earths magnetic field and how it'll keep meteors out. Same idea with the body and viruses. You create a dissonance though, you then create more disease within the body. I watch my diet intensely now after everything I've been through. My picture right now is of my neck two years ago before spinal cord surgery due to compression and stenosis from spondylitis and my food allergies. The surgeon told me my last check up they hadn't expected me to survive. I used to inject myself with chemo and I took 3 or 4 different immunosuppressants for it all. Now I only need a steroid taper every few months and I'm currently working on figuring out the why it happens. I think RA is a bacterial infection. The ricin in the castor oil helps kill the bacteria that causes the ra. But what do I know? LMAO
Depression is horrible for me, it effects my health, I also suffer from insomnia and believe me when I can get more sleep, I feel and look a thousand times better.
I have Graves disease and a level of 47nml/l. Went on 5000IU's a day and after a mnth I was so energized I was normal. From bedridden that is. Slowly over about one year my body recovered from ALL the symptoms Ive had from depression to lower back pain to hormonal issues to autoimmune condition, to hair loss and depression..Then came my doctor and tol me to go off them bc my level was at 214. All my symptoms came back after a month and despite having been on them now for about 2 weeks, I feel as fatigued as before so Im waiting and hope in 2 weeks I'll be back to energized again.
@@ruschev2 Well my doctor told me my blood level was at 214nml/liter and that I had to quit them so I did and one month later all my symptoms were back so I got back on in december but.. Nothing has happened yet so Im back to being sick. My sleep has improved though but thats it.
@@ruschev2 Really?! You have to enlighten me about this bc thats what Ive said, I told her I dont believe its toxic bc Ive talked to those who have taken the amounts I did at 5000IU a day for years and they didnt get kidneys stones. I lso read something about a tribe in africa whose levels were way higher and they were healthy.
I cant sleep properly for 3yrs longer then 4hours at night nd then I wake up. Since 3months im getting dizzy all the time like nd t feels that somebody is pushing my head to the ground when Im working hard or work pressure is high. Now I have strange headaches, cold sweat at night since my first 25.000IU D3 mega dose. Im very quickly tired after walkiny more then 2/3minutes. my D level was at 26 (not that low as other) I realy hope that all my problems is caused by low vit D nd not something worse
My level is at 8 ng/l It is horrible - Some hard I am losing not to much, I have low moods and more so recently plus fatigue and muscle aches, constant infections especially sinus issues for around a year now - my bones feel weak not sure how bad, but also I am now nearly to my weekly dose as of tomorrow - I feel a lot more worse including dizziness is back and sinus pressure again once not having much vitamin d in diet or the supplement. Could I have an additionally 600 UI every day do you thinK?

Sleep loss and low mood fo rme. Had my bloods checked and my doctor prescribed 3000iu to start for 3 months and down to 1000mg daily, long term. Feeling better now I know will now do the Magnesium too. Thank you so much. 🇬🇧
What is the half-life of vitamin D in the liver? so if I take 10,000 IU Per day, how long it will take to leave my system? I appreciate your time to answer
An utterly absence of God in one's life is the most potent form of depression, it is a self examination of one's declaration of a soulless body--- a seedless melon, a coreless apple, a pitted olive--- substance without sustenance. Monks living in walled desolation in cold sunless climates were vibrantly alive because they had God.
So with God you can become a breatharian and live 1000 years? MOST people need GOD in the form of vitamin D3, if they lack it. Especially in a stressful lifestyle exposed to all sorts of chemicals and emotions since being an embryo. And are those monks consuming animal fats from animals that get sun during the whole summer?

What's the fastest way to regrow my hair, get it to thicken up? I'm 64 and freaking out how thin my hair has gotten. I've been lax on supplementing vitamin d3.
Rosemary. Get fresh rosemary (about 10 sprigs,branches) put in pot and bring to boil. Boil 10 mins and cool. Put into a spray bottle and spray hair with it. On scalp to. Good luck.
I don't think I've had blood work to see if I'm low in vitamin D, I do have depression. I live in Canada and was suggested I take D3 in the darker winter months. It helped to some extent. I took magnesium for awhile before bed, didn't help much with poor sleep. Am planning on using both again and try using magnesium for a lo ger period of time.
Hmm, were you taking magnesium oxide? Remember certain forms are way better than others. One more thing an adult needs 5000 iu of vit D per day. Some like myself who are very deficient need more, I'm gonna start on 10,000 iu per day. The NIH put out these recommendations recently.
For sleep you may want to up the magnesium. I had terrible sleep and started off with 1,500 mg at night. I cut back slowly and now I am at 400 mg. I also take tryptophan and velvet bean sometimes.
If your doctor absolutely knows you suffer from depression and insomnia, shouldn't they at least check your vit D levels? Or do you need to ask them? I didn't even know they could do this.
Even if I take 1,000ius vit d with k2, I get bpvery tight muscles and borderline joint pain, what's going on? Is it significantly increasing my calcium levels? How do u circumvent this?
Actually vitamin D deficiency is far stronger associated with cancer (and most other chronic diseases). Adults can and should be supplementing especially if they test low and or barely get any sun/live in a northern climate.
I recently bumped my D3 to 8000iu. Used to be 2-4000iu. I experience terrible depression in Fall and Winter. Since I changed my intake I noticed myself feeling much much better.
