    Great video. My only comment is there’s no mention of some people not absorbing the vitamin d. My doctor put me on the 50,000 once a week with 1,200 the other 6 days/wk for 3 months. I asked to be retested after treatment and my level didn’t change one point. This continued treatment for 6 more months with the same result. I did some research after that and found that magnesium, vit D, k2, and calcium work together. Started with just magnesium and my levels double in about 6-8weeks. Maybe this might help someone.

      I'm dubious about this doctor. I've heard good things about vitamin D supplementation (and magnesium) but show me where in nature it has ever been natural for human beings or any animal under the Sun to consume such enormous quantities of calcium. I'm also baffled as to how he might explain - regarding vitamin D - how and why humans and animals have lived in regions of the World that have low levels of sunlight for much of the year since the dawn of time.
      BTW, you might want to check your vitamin B1 (thiamine).

    I have taken 5,000 to 15,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 almost every day for the past 20 years. It's one of the few vitamin/supplements I take where if I stop taking it for a few days, and then start taking it again, I'll definitely notice, especially in the wintertime, or if I haven't been outside for awhile. You can definitely tell it's doing something, and I like the way I feel when I'm on it.

      Joe, yes, it needs to be D3 containing K. We can take the supplement, but what matters is, does it get to the proper place to help us. Also, magnesium glysinate builds bone density. I am proof. I was told I am D deficient 6 years ago. Went through 5 years of Reclast infusions. Doctor told me iy didn't help. I raised my vitamin D3 +K intake, after speaking with my doctor and she said fine. I also take two large tablets of magnesium glycinate daily. More Americans than not is lacking enough magnesium glycinate.
      I have also been on citracal for about 6 years. This years DEXA showed an increase in bone density. Good luck with your health.

      Sunshine vitamin or steroid hormone was the most powerful medicine on earth given by our CREATOR.
      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.

They knew a lot about herbs, vitamins etc. That are now being advertised as being so good for you.. my son who is now about 45 years still. Drinks the seven seas cod liver oil. Some years ago on a plane going to London. I sat next to an elderly doctor , we talked a lot.. I remember him saying . He never stopped taking cod liver oil, he looked very fit . He was on his way to a class reunion At the University where he had studied. I was very cautious about taking the vitamin D, after hearing it can be toxic. So now I will take the 2000 IU a day. To see if it will help the pains in my joints..Will let up know after a few month the results

      They did know. There were heaps of literature coming out as early as February-march 2020 suggesting vitamin d recommendations. The “experts” like CDC and pharma said nah nah it doesn’t help. Then the actual studies started coming out demonstrating vitamin D improves symptoms, acts as prevention etc - they said correlation doesn’t mean causation 🤦‍♀️ they knew it from the start, and they suppressed it on purpose. All experts who treated their patients with vitamins and mineral protocols - all were labeled “dangerous misinformation”. I watched it as it happened and was shocked. There’s a website that analysed more than 200 studies on vitamin D and Covid specifically, the absolute majority of them showed the benefit. The same applies to ivermectin which was suppressed. The whole pandemic was “accidentally on purpose” to push for vaccines - no doubt about it. We had the data on our hands how to treat Covid successfully from
      The start, but it wasn’t the goal. I say it with confidence because there’s no other way to explain it.

    Good info, but lacks one import point. D3 helps the body absorb calcium, which is good. What is not so good is the D3 doesn't tell calcium where to go. That's why you need to take Vit. K2, it tells calcium to go directly to bones and teeth, not soft tissue like arteries and organs like the heart or brain. Uncontrolled calcium hardens arteries and calcifies tissues in the brain which apparently are causing Parkinson's etc. Research K2 also, not just D3.
    Jeff Bowles has a great book on D3, he experimented on himself. Give it a read.

    If you were to take one single nutritional supplement, you should choose Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). This vitamin does not replace all the nutrients needed for optimal health, but it is important to know it is a prehormone, a hormone precursor. There is not one tissue or cell in your entire body that doesn't contain cholecalciferol receptors. It is recommended to everyone to take 35IU / pound of weight / day. Thank you for posting this video. It is always a pleasure to hear from Dr. Holick.

      Vitamin K2 deficiency can cause improper soft tissue calcification, which can cause atherosclerosis

      @@ebenburger111 Yes, it's true. As long as you expose yourself to the midday sun, without sunscreen for about 15 minutes EVERY DAY. If you are Caucasian then this should provide you with up to 20,000IU of vitamin D. However, this is not possible for darker skin types, hence the importance of vitamin D3 supplementation for better health.
      Vitamin D requirements vary widely. It is therefore important to check your level with a 25 (OH) D blood test. Based on recommendations from Dr. Holick and Dr. Cedric Garland - UCSD & Moores Cancer Center, SD, everyone, children and adults alike, should take 35IU of vitamin D3 per pound of weight daily.

    I learned so much. I took notes. I'll need to listen to this lecture at least six more times to let it all sink in.
    I am wondering whether there is a yin yang effect between vitamin D and melatonin. Melatonin is the chemical signal for darkness. Vitamin D is sunshine. Melatonin and vitamin D are both ancient molecules. Endogenous melatonin requires vitamin D during the day. Sunshine includes the blue wavelength. Melatonin production is shut down at night within 1.5 seconds of detection of blue wavelength by particular ganglionic cells of the retina immediately signaling the SCN. The SCN interprets blue wavelength as day and lack of blue as night. Melatonin is an anti-carcinogen and antioxidant and is capable of switching a cancerous cell into a normal cell through the mitochondria. I can see how melatonin depends on a reliable source of vitamin D. I don't know if vitamin D requires a dependable source of melatonin to complete its missions. I can't wait to learn more!-- Audrey in Chicago

    How do you measure the UV light to get the vit d amount?

    Does that mean that 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is the optimal time to take vitamin D supplements to mimic nature? Referencing 22min22sec mark stating optimal time of day the body can make vitamin D provided the proper angle of the sun. --Audrey in Chicago

    Actually there is no such thing as Vitamin D3 toxicity!! WHat doctors call Vit D toxicity are actually Vitamin K2 and /or ,magnesium deficeincy symptoms. Vitamin D3 itself is completely no tooxic it only causes its co factors to be used up more quickly ..Vitamin K2 deficeincy leads to excess calium in the blood, this takes about 5 to 6 months of high d3 dosing. Immiediate "toxicity" symptoms such as dizziness, falls , panic attacks, heart arythmias, tachycardia (heart racing), anxiety, insomnia, constipation, blood pressure changes etc...are just symptoms of an aggravated underlying magnesium deficiency. 80% of us are magnesium deficient and doctors don't test for it-the blood test is worthless as only 1% of magnesium is in our blood and it is tightly controlled. Holik mentions thjat peple living at higher elevations make more d3 due to les ozone....this is nto quite the case, as the air gets thinner , it blocks less UVB rays so the sun at a 10,000 foot elevation is anywhere 40 to 70% stronger UVB rays than at sea level. Want the goo information check out the JeffTbowles tod moc (backwards) information source.

      I do take 750mg magnesium at night. I find more than that gives me a loose tummy. Do you know how much one should take? I take 4000iu vitD3 per day, plus K2.

      Vit D level is highly dependent on behavior. Your latitude or altitude only matter if you actually go outside when the sun is shining which might be never for some people. I work third shift a lot and I might not see sunshine for a month or more at a time.

    I'm middle age, mid toned skin, and overweight. I need about 7-12000 a day apparently. Which is like 3-4 hours shirtless and summer were I live. Minimum. Wow that's a lot.

    I found no research on it but I think St-Johns wort is facilitating the vit D production in the skin. I think that because of the photodynamic properties of some components. Some mood lifting properties could even be the result of risen vit D. But this is all a guess of course.
