Exposing skin to sunshine creates many different photoproducts that are important to our health, besides just vitamin D. When it hits our eyes indirectly it helps regulate our circadian rhythms and elevate mood. I've heard you should spend have the time in the sun that it takes you to burn, which is about 20 minutes for most lighter skinned folk and about 40 minutes for most darker skinned folk.
Was torn between about three different types, a liquid dropper, sprayer(for the inside of the cheek) or gummies. All are vegan D3. I'm glad you gave the long winded answer because it sheds a lot of light in a short amount of time. This helped me decide, cheers.
Thank you. *When* we expose our skin to the sun is critically important too: it's only the UVB rays, best when the sun is high like between 11am and 2pm that vitamin D is efficiently produced. So I've seen in videos etc. I get some of that sunlight and have also found vegan D3, tablets not capsules.
Yeah I have a it’s called Nutri men and it is got all the vitamins in there plus the zinc but I’m not taking enough so my vitamin D was low but now I know exactly how much to take once I get it up then I’m gonna stick with that 2000 IU thank you so much Doctor thank you I’m trying to go Whole Foods plant
Hello Doctor Klaper, What are your thoughts on Isotonic Drinks? I’m considering to buy a supplement which has Vitamin D3 and K2 in form of an isotonic drink. I don’t eat animal products and also rarely eat fermented food such as natto (I also don’t like natto). Thanks in advance for your answer.
We, Jiangxi Chundi Biotech Co., Ltd. are manufacturing Vegan Vitamin D3 from pine-derived phytosterol, which is 100% plant-origin, Non-GMO, free of any animal ingredient contamination. It is a secure non-animal alternative for conventional lanolin Vitamin D3.
I'm doing the same. My blood levels are too low currently. It's important to get the levels checked on a regular basis if you supplement. Once I'm up, I will decrease my dosage.
You can order your own Vitamin D blood tests using this website. Keep track of your results and gain more control of your blood testing! www.ultalabtests.com/hemovative
I can't take even 1000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. My heart doesn't like it. :( For that reason I keep it below 500 IU, maybe one day I can raise the amount. (I guess my thyroid is messing with it.)
It's an important combo! Without the K2, calcium can't be transported to your bones and remains circulating in your bloodstream, damaging your arteries and organs. K2 is vital!
Hi Dr. K, what are your thoughts on taking D3 with K2? Do you recommend just taking D3 alone while eating wfpb or do you recommend taking a combination supplement of D3 and K2?
He's done a video about vitamin K that addresses this question. Basically if you consume a cup of dark leafy greens on a daily basis, your body will be able to produce sufficient K2 so you won't need to supplement. Unless you hate eating greens!
Hi Simpson Lee, for individual cases such as yours that require a deeper understanding of the issue, please consider booking a consultation at plantbasedtelehealth.com You can work directly with myself or one of the other plant-based doctors.
Don't use instagram or othr social m accts bc of stalker. So if anyone else has this question too maybe they can post it for me... how long can fresh produce be kept before you lose most of the good of it? Seems to me things like squashes and celery and even leafy herbs and chard and especially brassica can last an awfully ling time before they actually go bad but i imagine there's some point where they look ok but are a lot less nutritious..
Hi vegetables that require refrigeration (most veggies) decline in nutrients each day. If you can't eat within a couple of days then you frozen foods which retain their nutrients better. PS store bought 'fresh' veggies are normally already a couple of days old.
Thank you, Dr. Klaper. You are a wealth of great info. I would like to note, though, when I was very low in Vit D some years ago, I tried the vegan muhroom source of 'D that you speak of, and it barely made any change in my levels after a few months. It went up a mere 4 points. I switched to D3 non vegan in a drop form, and my numbers moved to an excellent number within a few months. So I stay with that now.
@@Elizerinc Elizabeth, I am currently taking Prairie Naturals in the dropper formula. It is a Canadian company. Initially I used Biotics, but switched. All drop versions will have a bit of oil. This one is olive oil, so maybe the best of that choice. The best way to know how much to take is to monitor every with blood test in 2 or 3 months to see where numbers are, because initially you may need more to start. In full transparency, because of covid I've not had a lab test for some while, but was maintaining good number before, so hopefully all stable. Wishing you all the best.
You may not be using one that also has K2 in it? The K2 transports the calcium into your bones, making them strong. D3 without K2 keeps the calcium circulating in your bloodstream, damaging your arteries and organs.
Great thing is, before you cook your mushrooms you just need to sit them in the window sill in the sun for 15 minutes and they will absorb vitamin D and pass it along to you after you eat them.
@@vegannibs7526 i dunno about that! :p if you cant absorb vitamin d in winter why would a mushroom be able 2? my face alone has more surface area than a mushroom lol seems so silly, i must be missing something
@@VeganChiefWarrior I’m sorry it takes an hour of soaking mushrooms in sunlight or under a UV bulb. nutritionfacts.org/video/is-vitamin-d3-better-than-d2/
@@vegannibs7526 cool that you fact checked man respect for that, but do you see my point? like are they saying that mushrooms can absord vitamin d from winter sun but human skin cant? and is it even d3? cause i think alot of plants have d2, sont quote me on that tho lol
Hello Dr. Klaper, you are absolutely amazing. Let me first say, thank you so much for taking the time to put out all of these highly informative videos. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Daniel Issabey I am an R&B singer, dancer, actor, I have been vegan for 15 years and animal rights activist. With all due respect you need to get rid of this lady and have me be the host. The vegan community needs the right look, the right person, the right personality, I know that I am that, I say that humbly and modestly. It does not need more people that sound and look like just another, "Karen." Again, I apologize to her and anyone offended but for me the most important is preventing as many animals from all kinds of suffering, torture and ultimately death. That is accomlished by getting as many people to become vegan, promise you I am a thousand times better, 🙏😎🎉...
Bro, with all do respect and for the purpose of self development, you come across pretentious, narcissistic, and condescending as fuck. And as a first impression, it doesn't paint a very good look of yourself. "promise you I'm a thousand times better", you're not coming across that way.

Thank you again Dr. Klaper for standing up for the other animals and for providing healthy information for us human- animals!!!!
@@randywsandberg ,thank you!
remember when we got all we needed from the earth? those were the days, oh wait i still do live like that YESSSS!!!

I use a D3 spray. Source is lichen. It’s only 1000 IU so I’ll have to start double spraying.
He said 2000iu is for D2 not D3

Do you recommend a multi, or taking individual supplements?
Hi David, I do have a video on supplements. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/nZw6eR8fbxc/видео.html
I was thinking of just sun-drying some mushrooms, has anyone tried that?
Good idea I’ve never tried that

Pine derived huh? Interesting source, where can this be purchased and are there test study results available?
Are there other vegan food sources for vitamin D, apart from mushrooms?
Swiss chard, sesame seeds, tofu… 😊

I like taking D3 5000 daily with K2 daily. Normal high D3 levels have been shown to help some people with Hashimotos autoimmunity
do you love it
I'm doing the same. My blood levels are too low currently. It's important to get the levels checked on a regular basis if you supplement. Once I'm up, I will decrease my dosage.
Is it ok to take 50000 once in 25 days, so you have exactly 2000 a day? Or what is the "safe" limit there?
Monthly bulk doses are far less effective for immune system - shown by studies. 2x per week is ok, max period 1x per week.
i have vitamin d DEFICIENCY level lower than 20 ....... can vitamin d high dose like 50000 iu be used to recover within a week ......???
You can, but it can take several months to get levels back up. Get your blood levels checked regularly while supplementing.
@@lf7065 how many months??
@@lordzmusic8461 varies from person to person...everyone is different.
@@lf7065 does vitamin d DEFICIENCY causes mnd like symptoms .... coz from 1 month I'm feeling the symptoms but do not know what is it .....

Dr. Klaper. Is 5,000 IUs/day too much per day?
I can't take even 1000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. My heart doesn't like it. :( For that reason I keep it below 500 IU, maybe one day I can raise the amount. (I guess my thyroid is messing with it.)
What are you do if you’re level 17
What about Vit D and K2 combo?
I think he said once that we don't need k2
It's an important combo! Without the K2, calcium can't be transported to your bones and remains circulating in your bloodstream, damaging your arteries and organs. K2 is vital!

@@reefunk1974 Fantastic. Thanks much for this reply :) appreciate it.

Just to clarify, I meant I haven't been to a lab lately, but am healthy and avoiding facilities unless necessary.**
@@paulashear1134 Thank you.
well, if you are not vegan but vegetarian and eat eggs then lanoline d3 is not an issue.
👏👏✔
Why does vitamin D supplements make my bones hurt 🥺
You may not be using one that also has K2 in it? The K2 transports the calcium into your bones, making them strong. D3 without K2 keeps the calcium circulating in your bloodstream, damaging your arteries and organs.
2 bad mushrooms grow in dark shady places in winter huh lol
