Hello Dr. Berg. Could you please add the name of nutrition for the low acidic stomach to your video - 5:45 ? You pronounce the name very quickly and do not have any graphics beside the green bubbles to grab the name of the supplement. Can you improve this video with this information?
Have been watching your videos for 8 month. Just as I retired - was interested in improving my overall health now that I had ‘free time’ to look after myself. I’ve lost weight that I needed to lose, my blood sugar is now down from diabetic range to lower than pre-diabetes and I’m working on it to ensure it stays there. Also, lowered my blood pressure … and medications the doctor prescribed. Working on getting off all medications … My goal is to be medication free prior to age 71. I’m turning 70 in a few months - so that’s my year plan. Thanks for all the suggestions and information. This is stuff we should have learned in school .. during ‘health’ classes. AND health classes should be mandatory in high school .. It’s hard to change the world with all its ’bad habits’. Thanks for sharing with us your time and knowledge. God bless you!
People need to realize we don’t all have the same body types. You need to experiment and see what works best with you even with all the information at hand.
Also suppelement which shouldn't be consumed with certain food. I've learned that iron shouldn't be consumed with hot drinks. You should at least wait a half hours.
what I currently take. Morning: one omega 3 capsule with vitamin E in it. D3+K2 in one casule + one glas with magnesium since mag + d3+k2 work best together and lastly my vitamin B complex with all the B vitamins. Evening natural alma Vitamin c + Iron Before sleep another capsule omega 3 + second time magnesium but I wait and dont take iron and mag together although there is no clear evidence they influence each other negatively. What I might try is taking d3+k2+mag right before sleep and take iron and vitamin c earlier during the day. The only thing I would never take in the evening is my vitamin b complex. For those who feel tired and drained during the day this really changed it for me, it gives more energy which makes sense since it also takes action in the metabolsim and crabs cycle (procuding energy ATP) I dont see a reason or benefit taking it at night. I might add one or two other things but thats how I currently take it and I never take them on an empty stomach but thats just a personal thing.
One of the best features of this RUclips channel is that the Description Section breaks down what is in the video. That narrative I find to be so valuable. And I appreciate that he (or his wife) takes the time to do that. Maqnifique!
I take the D3/K2 with Mg because this combo seems to help me sleep. So many of your videos have lifesaving information Dr. Berg. Thank you!! As a video suggestion how about more on sarcopenia. All of us who live long enough will deal with life-threatening frailty. Prior to my father’s death, at 79 he was stuck in his tub all day because he didn’t realize he wasn’t strong enough to pull himself out. So ideas on how to stay strong might interest your fans. I’ve started using your Keto Essentials Aminos for the leucine. To save muscle I am also taking creatine, lifting weights, and have decreased fat a bit to increase protein intake. Thinking about going from OMAD to TMAD for optimal protein absorption. In any event, thank you for all your help.
@@curiouscat3384 Thanks for the reply. Sarcopenia is more involved than that. It starts around 40 and (in my understanding) has a lot to do with increased protein need. I've been lifting and a fitness buff since I was 30 yet they'll come a day when without a multifaceted approach involving protein and supplements I might not be strong enough to get out of a bathtub. That's why I was wondering about adding an extra meal to increase protein absorption.
@@japanluv Lucky you with no problem sleeping. 😃 I'm no expert but I know it's important to take fat-soluble vitamins (like D and K) with fat. (So maybe after a meal.) A commenter here mentioned that it might be best to take D in the am. He might be right as there is some information out there that points to this idea.
Super helpful. In the morning I take a glass of water with apple cider vinegar and lemon water mixed with some psyllium husks and inulin powder all in the single large glass of water. Then I have blueberries and an avocado and a carrot and celery stalk. Then I take 15 supplements along with 20 superfoods powders in a glass with carrot juice, V8 juice, green smoothie, and kombacha. Then I have a handful of blanched almonds. With that routine each morning I am born again and feel fantastic within an hour of waking up no matter what I did the night before. All of those healthy foods and supplements and powders keeps me in perfect health even as a senior and I am still slim. Then I do 25 pushups, 25 situps, 1 minute plank, and 15 minutes of rebounding, which is healthier for you than an hour of jogging (according to NASA studied on rebounders for astronauts).
Would you mind sharing what supplements and superfood powders you take please? What I've been doing for the past few years doesn't seem to have an effect, so not sure what to take. TIA
Dr berg can you please make a video on weight gain? I’ve dealt with a fast metabolism all my life & I’m currently 10lbs underweight due to my job requiring miles of walking daily. You’ve helped me resolve many health complications therefore I know I can put my trust into your advice rather than the bodybuilders telling people drink sugar powder and buy as much of the cheapest unhealthiest foods they can find.
I gained 16kg (1.58m, 46kg -> 62) mostly by sugar and beef. My blood pressure is better and my allergy symptoms are alleviated. There was time that I eat a lot without gaining weights, probably because my body was still lacking everything (I practiced fasting for about 10 years for my brain can be focused on my work). However, after that, my weight is lifted fast uncontrollably :)) After I had enough weight, I try to add vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Now I still unable to breathe during spring, but hope I can have a normal healthy life later.
Good info, thanks Dr. Berg. I read somewhere that vitamins (that give energy) should be taken in the morning, with a meal, which makes perfect sense. And minerals (that repair the body) should be taken at night, with last meal of the day or before bed.
I was always deemed as a vitaminholic by my family ….. it turns out, I haven’t been taking them I needed! Thanks Dr. Berg for your teachings! I’ve been able to fine-tune my body through your videos! Thanks! Much Blessings!
Infra red exposure and pomegranate juice makes you look years younger. The sun can make you youthful along with 1 hours a day walking running swimming jogging or cycling
re: Vit D, I was told it blocks melatonin production. In nature, we would be producing it D during the daylight hours when we don't want to be sleepy so that makes sense. This directly contradicts what is presented in this video.
Can you discuss what vitamins cannot be taken together? Also, what factors (such as minerals) inhibits or helps absorption of different kinds of vitamins?
I've taken supplements of one sort or another all my life, but it's only in the last year that I'm really starting to understand the chronobiology. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
@@Dancky2 It's a lot, but I have found the most important things were moving vitamin D, MK-7, vitamin C, and minerals to before I go to bed. I thought for a long time that vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," was best taken early in the day (logical, right?), but at night seems to work better for me.
So weird... I'd just bought a vitamin D3 just this morning since I've watched one of your video about always feeling tired and keep on thinking when is the best time to take it and then here it is just answered uploaded video ☺️🥰🙏 thanks Dr.
Dr Berg notes: There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins can be absorbed better if taken with fat or before a meal. But, if you’re fasting, you can take vitamins whenever. Cod liver oil: Cod liver oil is a great source of fat-soluble vitamins, and you can consume cod liver oil anytime. However, it may be best not to take it right before bed. Vitamin E: Vitamin E should be taken in the form of tocotrienols and is great to take with meals. Phytonutrients: Many phytonutrients are fat soluble, and this is why it’s great to have olive oil on your salad because it will help extract more phytonutrients. Take phytonutrient supplements and wheatgrass juice with a meal for better extraction. Betaine hydrochloride: Betaine hydrochloride should be taken right before a meal. Digestive enzymes: Digestive enzymes should be taken before a meal. Bile salts or products with bile: Bile salts can be better taken right after a meal. What to take on an empty stomach: • TUDCA • Activated charcoal • Bentonite clay • Individual amino acids • Trace minerals What to take before bed: • Calcium • Magnesium • Probiotics • Vitamin D3 • Vitamin B1 • Detox herbs • Apple cider vinegar What to take in the morning • Electrolyte powder • Vitamin B12 • Stimulatory herbs Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Ramadan is starting next week it will be great if you post some videos on how to break fast and what vitamins to take specially for those who have eating disorders and inflammations.
My -Chinese 86th generation TCM doctor sometimes said, when I asked, to take the medicinal formula after the meal because the stomach is then digesting the food.
Thanks Dr. Eric So does this work if I take my vitamins like this? After Lunch: Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, Biotin, Turmeric After 2 hours or more: Vitamin B12 or other B Vitamins After 2 hours or more: Vitamin C After 2 hours or more: Calcium After 2 hours or more: Zinc with Copper After 2 hours or more: Magnesium
I have always taken calcium and magnesium separately (afternoon and evening) because I have heard that the effect is otherwise less. They would reduce each other's effect.
Well this is spot on. Last night I laid out some Vits I want to start…but I also take Levo thyroxine just before bed…so I asked myself this very question…When is the best time to take the Vits?….Thank you Dr Berg. You read the room constantly. Greetings from London 😊
@@joanl2057 yes I was told this too …I did start taking them first thing….but I couldn’t wait the half an hour to have a cuppa tea 😃 or I’d forget altogether 🥴 …taking them at night is better for me and they work well. I’ve been taking them for over 10 years now…I hope you are doing well. 🌸
I take my levothyroxine on its own and take vitamins 6 hrs later. Levothyroxine needs to be able to absorb on its own and that is interrupted if you have anything with it.
If you clean out the bromine, chlorine and fluoride in the system you can have a proper functioning thyroid, this can be done by avoiding all these, tap water, swimming pools, toothpaste, chimicals in soda drinks and bread production ( US), this can also be done using lugol’s iodine, then make sure to have enough (iodine and) selenium for thyroid function.
Is there a test you can do at home to see which vitamins, bio salts, ect you need? Is it possible to take too many vitamins if you're also taking a multivitamin? Thank you for the great video Dr.Berg. your presentations are always amazing and very informative.
It's a good question. I don't know why people take them if they don't know that they need them. I take Vitamin B because I was having very vivid and disturbing dreams on keto. I researched it and it said I needed B. I take one at night and the dreams stopped. So I'm taking what I feel I need for a specific purpose.
I keep watching for self-tests to no avail. It requires a blood draw, but I believe some labs like LabCorp will draw your blood for certain tests without a doctor's order. That would be self-pay and can add up over time.
@@MamaLee5 good point. But, there are several nutrients and minerals that will or may not show up in a blood test. Example, magnesium supposedly like others are more so inside the cell and therefore can't be measured with a blood test. There is some in the blood so You could appear deficient and really not be. Magnesium among others is need for the bones and are stored in bone. Yes body complex. Always exceptions and possibly no 2 people alike. Lots of variables. I think that's what it's critical to listen to your body. And that in itself is challenging.
I read that if you smell the vitamin in the container, if it smells horrible to you, you don't need it, but if it smells good, you need it, so then take it.
I tried taking D3K2 before bed and I had nightmares or dreams. As soon as I switched to mornings for vitamin D3K2, all the dreams and nightmares stopped.
D3 is tricky. The later in the day, the higher the D3 absorption. Some believe because D3 is associated with sunlight it could signal to the body it's daytime and disrupt sleep. If you're concerned take D3 late afternoon, 3 or 4ish. Remember to take K2 with D3 or get a combo formula. D3 needs Magnesium, but doesn't need to be taken at the same time, just take magnesium regularly.
I had a Leadership class, one module was "The Healthy Executive", cod liver oil was a top recommendation. It was suggested a brand that does not give you "fish burbs" like the Omega 3 capsules do. I use -> On Target Living "Alaskan cod liver oil" this is infused with Organic Lemon. No fishy taste or fish burbs. I take on tablespoon every morning.
Doc, your my go-to quick recommendations for things Ive been dealing with. I had a severe brain injury in 2019, meningeal encephalitis from a staph infection..made an amazing comeback, but every system..without question does not work the same, Digestion is with the top 3, Ive been using your formula for about a month now and have noticed my bloating has decreased most of all, still not 100% but alot better! Keep the content up my friend!
Dr. Berg love your videos you have helped so many people including me! I just got my lab report from my doctor he said he has never seen at person at 75 years old so healthy. I don't take prescription drugs anymore and have everything great blood sugar blood pressure, cholesterol everything I do still do natural hormones hoping to get rid of that too one day. I could not get out of bed 15years ago living on soda and candy. I was so happy when I talked to the doctor yesterday he said I was proof that no matter how old you are you can reverse damage and become heathy I also have been exercising for 40 years I have been teaching Jazzercise for 30 years. Thanks for all your videos!
After watching you video I started to take my D3-K2 mk7 (3x1000=5000mg) & Magnesium L-threonate (3×144mg =432mg) I don't fall asleep any faster but I do stay asleep and sleep longer. Decided to try for a few days before I commented on my success or lack of if it did not work for me. Its been 2 weeks since I posted this and its still working.
It took me 2 years to figure out that my multi vitamin was giving me joint pain. They also kept me awake if I took them before bed and they made me nauseous if I took them on an empty stomach. I stopped taking them, started a balanced keto diet and now I feel great. I'd say, ditch the vitamins because they'll probably do more harm than good.
Dr. Berg! Can you make a video with recommendations for us that work night shift and need to sleep during the day?? How do we use our vitamins? How can we fast? Does this differ for men vs women? What can help us fall asleep during the day? Thank you! 😊
An hour after taking levothyroxine I have coffee and take N-Acetyl Cysteine and normally wait 3 to 4 hours before eating. If meal has fat and protein I take zinc and vitamin D-3. I recently began taking B complex again, but usually with the meal just mentioned along with the two mentioned above. The a.m. thyroid medicine unfortunately dictates what I do in the morning. I wait until 8 p.m. to take amlodopine and a baby aspirin. I just deal with getting up two or three times at night. I wish I could take thyroid medicine later. Thank you Dr. Berg for your very detailed information that you share with all of us.
Been a big fan of your videos for a long time. Thank you and btw you must really know your facts because you keep looking healthier and younger each video. Best wishes and thanks again for all that you share.
I do well & feel my best taking my main vitamins while eating lunch between bites. I never take them with caffeine or on an empty stomach. Eggs with my k2d3 & water made my blood levels of d3 perfect, 61 ng/mL.
I’ve found taking my supplements upon waking and at lunchtime is best for me. It took me a long time to realize that taking them before bed actually woke me up 5 hours into sleeping. I sleep through the night now.
I think you might be right. Vitamins are just like food; you wouldn't eat food before going to bed, so why should vitamins be any different? Only exception I might make is magnesium
I take ashwaganda for it’s many health benefits. It’s not one that I typically “feel”, but I recently took it on an empty stomach and wow, I really felt a difference.
I take “Gaia Herbs” ashwagandha root, one capsule a day with food and it has given me a nice relaxed feeling. May I ask, how different or what was the difference between taking it with and without food for you.
I was having pain on my left side, (under my rib) usually after I ate and had a bulge. I saw a regular doctor and 2 different digestive doctors and none of em knew why. They said it was just fat which I'm at a "normal" weight. I had an ultra sound, a colonoscopy, and endoscopy and all was fine. One of the digestive doctors wanted to run all kinds of tests on me as well. Thankfully I had found your videos during this time and Tudca is what helped, I'm feeling much better and bulge is almost gone!!! I have been doing mostly Keto and intermediate fasting also. Thank you so much Dr Berg!!!! I appreciate that you truly want to help people. 🌠
I had this problem too!! I even had to go to the emergency room last year because of it and no one could help me. You are the only one I’ve ever come across who has also experienced this
@@adventuresofkatekat Omg, why did you have to go to the ER? Mine would hurt pretty bad after eating so I knew it was something to do with digestion and it seemed like food would get stuck where the bulge was. Interestingly the digestive doctors never said anything about Tudca. I think mine was also from eating a lot of carbs and not getting any exercise when this all came to a head. What has helped you? Are you completely better?
@@svv3244 because it was sticking out and hurting very bad ☹️ I thought maybe something was wrong with my spleen. It happened a few times after too. Because I live in Canada I had to wait almost 6 hours in the ER and then I didn’t get much for help. I have been searching on the internet to find out what could be the cause of this problem and I found nothing. I felt really alone and then I randomly saw your comment on this video and it was such a blessing to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing this. I am going to try tudca :) Can I ask if you did anything else to help? I cut out carbs and that seems to help a lot.
@@adventuresofkatekat Geez, so sorry you've had that experience. I have had it hurt really bad at times (was usually after eating) but never went to ER. It would get hard during those times. One of my friends said one of her friends has same syptoms but they didn't know what it was as her doctors weren't helpful either. I've never been able to find much info or anyone else with this to talk to. So I just tried to cut carbs, eat better, usually one meal a day. I've fasted 48 hours a couple times but Ima do that more often as I think it really has helped. I think that Tudca definitely helped, was like 'the icing on the cake', lol. That is when my bulge finally was feeling better & getting smaller. I try to remember to take it with meals and also take apple cider vinegar in the mornings and before my meal. I also massage that area to try to get things moving. I also try to walk at least 20 minutes a day, more if things permit. What I think mine is, the tube going into my pancreas was getting clogged from all the years of eating carbs & then I sit a lot working from home. Ironically, one of the doctors said my pancreas looked really great when he looked at the ultra sound. When you look for a good tudca, make sure it doesn't have magnesium stearate or silicone dioxide & not from ch!na. The brand I got is from the UK, Sharoaid, advanced tudca. I will be also trying castor oil packs to see if that helps too. I've suffered for over a year & a half & finally been felling better. I really hope this helps you. Best of luck to you. You'll have to update me sometime. :)
I would be interested to know how many pills everyone is taking per day to keep up. I take several before breakfast, several with breakfast, few more during the day without food, few more with dinner, and few more before bed!!
I take mine after meal in the evening. I pour bottom fil in glass of apple cider vinegar, then dilute it with water. I take my Vitamins + extra of d vitamin. Then I drink cod liver oil. I feel great.
Yea a lot of these people are so psycho focused on being healthy and trying to live as long as possible that’s all they become, all they talk about or do is something with health which falls into the category of obsession, here for a good time not a long time, don’t hyper focus on health, it’s easy to manage without being obsessive
There is so much that could have been done years ago as respect to vitamins and your health ! Rather than being reactive to bodily conditions associated with vitamin and supplement deficiency when seeing your doctor ! Some doctors prescribing anything but a more natural remedy ! It’s as if there is a separation or collusion between doctors and pharmaceuticals ?! However , it is up to us as individuals to look after our health !
My vitamin D3/K2 comes in a coconut oil capsule. (The brand I use just recently added turmeric.) I usually just take all my supplements together, but I see certain ones would be better at night. Great info. Thanks!
Had no idea that calcium was not good for post menopausal women. Bc it could cause heart attacks. I had a stoke (transient global amnesia) 3 years ago!! Thank you Dr. Berg. Jana - Texas
Yes very helpful info especially about taking the detoxifiers before bed because they cause some fatigue. Dim and nac make me sluggish all day if I take them in the morning. I didn't know it was a thing that could happen!
I take mine just before I eat breakfast, I don’t recommend taking any supplements when fasting unless it’s digestive enzymes. I don’t take anything before I sleep.
I feel just as we need to avoid processed food, it is equally important to avoid processed/ synthetic supplements. I support natural food , natural supplements as much as possible 🙏☺️
@@csawserv I think the natural food that he is talking about are the food that are not processed food. So your fried chicken is a natural food. Processed foods are usually the canned foods.
thank you for saying you can take it on an empty stomach as well because I happen to be one of those people who takes it without food used to irritate my stomach many, many years ago I noticed it hasn’t what I do is I take a tablespoon of olive oil and then take my vitamin or vice versa
It's so good having a Doctor who can actually recommend things that work. Di Indoyl Methane, if that's what you were talking about, was and remains to be a revelation. You are a great help, a great communicator and a great teacher so thank you.

Krebs cycle, not crabs 😂
B vitamins are water soluble so you sweat and pee them out during the day. I take them before bed time and wake up energised the next morning
in india we add turmeric in every meal
And pepper, which increases the absorption of the turmeric
@@joyelle7578 which pepper.🤔🤔
Black pepper
Yeah tumeric is used every day in most Indian dishes, but if you're taking it with just a powder you can take it with Black Pepper to absorb.

Thank you! I hope you repeat this with updates and extended information. No one talks about this enough. And it matters.
I used to be so confused and now a lot of clarity is there.Thanks for the video.
I was always deemed as a vitaminholic by my family ….. it turns out, I haven’t been taking them I needed! Thanks Dr. Berg for your teachings! I’ve been able to fine-tune my body through your videos! Thanks! Much Blessings!
When should you take. Berberine? When should you take NAD?
Infra red exposure and pomegranate juice makes you look years younger. The sun can make you youthful along with 1 hours a day walking running swimming jogging or cycling
Great Suggestions !
Only wonder if pom juice is too much of a sugar hit as I eat low carb?
Pomegranate juice is very expensive here in Canada..
Five minutes in and I'm overwhelmed and confused. How could I ever make use of this? I need a written list.
Me too, I have a short attention span.
re: Vit D, I was told it blocks melatonin production. In nature, we would be producing it D during the daylight hours when we don't want to be sleepy so that makes sense. This directly contradicts what is presented in this video.
This is a great video! I have been wondering when I should take my vitamins. This helped so much! Thank you Dr. Berg
Your videos are immensely helpful, I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you for your work!
Can you discuss what vitamins cannot be taken together? Also, what factors (such as minerals) inhibits or helps absorption of different kinds of vitamins?
Vitamin C inhibits B12 absorption, and
Avoid taking Iron with Calcium
Discovered MSM is great and pairs very well with vitamin C and even magnesium
I take all of my vitamins after dinner. Never any sleep issues. And I love a niacin B3 flush in the evenings before bed.
Omg I literally just bought a ton of supplements TODAY wondering how and when I should take them lol Thank you Jesus 😭
Mmmm. Always grateful Doc. Keep reading, fact finding, speaking, guiding, advising and coaching us. Blessings.
I've taken supplements of one sort or another all my life, but it's only in the last year that I'm really starting to understand the chronobiology. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
May I ask what is your stack consist of?
@@Dancky2 It's a lot, but I have found the most important things were moving vitamin D, MK-7, vitamin C, and minerals to before I go to bed. I thought for a long time that vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," was best taken early in the day (logical, right?), but at night seems to work better for me.
@@scottmiller2591i tought the same..
I miss the board, Doc and thank you for your time to help us to understand more how to take our vitamins
So weird... I'd just bought a vitamin D3 just this morning since I've watched one of your video about always feeling tired and keep on thinking when is the best time to take it and then here it is just answered uploaded video ☺️🥰🙏 thanks Dr.
Same here.. I said to myself earlier today, I need to google when is the best time to take my vitamins
Dr Berg notes:
There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins can be absorbed better if taken with fat or before a meal. But, if you’re fasting, you can take vitamins whenever.
Cod liver oil:
Cod liver oil is a great source of fat-soluble vitamins, and you can consume cod liver oil anytime. However, it may be best not to take it right before bed.
Vitamin E:
Vitamin E should be taken in the form of tocotrienols and is great to take with meals.
Phytonutrients:
Many phytonutrients are fat soluble, and this is why it’s great to have olive oil on your salad because it will help extract more phytonutrients. Take phytonutrient supplements and wheatgrass juice with a meal for better extraction.
Betaine hydrochloride:
Betaine hydrochloride should be taken right before a meal.
Digestive enzymes:
Digestive enzymes should be taken before a meal.
Bile salts or products with bile:
Bile salts can be better taken right after a meal.
What to take on an empty stomach:
• TUDCA
• Activated charcoal
• Bentonite clay
• Individual amino acids
• Trace minerals
What to take before bed:
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Probiotics
• Vitamin D3
• Vitamin B1
• Detox herbs
• Apple cider vinegar
What to take in the morning
• Electrolyte powder
• Vitamin B12
• Stimulatory herbs
Thank you Dr Berg!
😺👍
Thank you Dr Berg, i appreaciate the health info you provide
You're very welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Ramadan is starting next week it will be great if you post some videos on how to break fast and what vitamins to take specially for those who have eating disorders and inflammations.
My -Chinese 86th generation TCM doctor sometimes said, when I asked, to take the medicinal formula after the meal because the stomach is then digesting the food.
This man is both very wise and handsome!!😊
Thanks Dr. Eric So does this work if I take my vitamins like this?
After Lunch: Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, Biotin, Turmeric
After 2 hours or more: Vitamin B12 or other B Vitamins
After 2 hours or more: Vitamin C
After 2 hours or more: Calcium
After 2 hours or more: Zinc with Copper
After 2 hours or more: Magnesium
BEST DOCTOR IN AMERICA!!!!!!
Best channel on RUclips. Best doctor I’ve ever heard. Period! A REAL doctor 👏🏼
Much needed information ! In one video ! Thanks Dr Berg!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
It would be nice if we could get a print out of these instructions on when to take our vitamins!
I was just thinking about this. I made a huge mistake and took a B12 before bed and only slept 3.5 hours that night🤦🏽♀️
hahaha
I take mine mid day with no problems.
I have always taken calcium and magnesium separately (afternoon and evening) because I have heard that the effect is otherwise less. They would reduce each other's effect.
Just a reminder to take k² with your calcium & magnesium 🌷🐢
Well this is spot on. Last night I laid out some Vits I want to start…but I also take Levo thyroxine just before bed…so I asked myself this very question…When is the best time to take the Vits?….Thank you Dr Berg. You read the room constantly. Greetings from London 😊
I was told to take levothyroxin on an empty stomach with NOTHING else except with water. (at 4 am).
@@joanl2057 yes I was told this too …I did start taking them first thing….but I couldn’t wait the half an hour to have a cuppa tea 😃 or I’d forget altogether 🥴 …taking them at night is better for me and they work well. I’ve been taking them for over 10 years now…I hope you are doing well. 🌸
I take my levothyroxine on its own and take vitamins 6 hrs later. Levothyroxine needs to be able to absorb on its own and that is interrupted if you have anything with it.
If you clean out the bromine, chlorine and fluoride in the system you can have a proper functioning thyroid, this can be done by avoiding all these, tap water, swimming pools, toothpaste, chimicals in soda drinks and bread production ( US), this can also be done using lugol’s iodine, then make sure to have enough (iodine and) selenium for thyroid function.
@@marycoleman4301 Hi Mary, what if you've had your thyroid removed?
I loved green tea, fish oil, and vitamin C right out of bed. Full alert all day, plus other benefits
I was literally just wondering this then BOOM. Dr. Berg is reading my mind again. lol
Thank you. I started taking calcium in the morning and wonder why I feel sleepy. That’s why.
Is there a test you can do at home to see which vitamins, bio salts, ect you need? Is it possible to take too many vitamins if you're also taking a multivitamin? Thank you for the great video Dr.Berg. your presentations are always amazing and very informative.
It's a good question. I don't know why people take them if they don't know that they need them. I take Vitamin B because I was having very vivid and disturbing dreams on keto. I researched it and it said I needed B. I take one at night and the dreams stopped. So I'm taking what I feel I need for a specific purpose.
I keep watching for self-tests to no avail. It requires a blood draw, but I believe some labs like LabCorp will draw your blood for certain tests without a doctor's order. That would be self-pay and can add up over time.
@@MamaLee5 good point. But, there are several nutrients and minerals that will or may not show up in a blood test. Example, magnesium supposedly like others are more so inside the cell and therefore can't be measured with a blood test.
There is some in the blood so You could appear deficient and really not be. Magnesium among others is need for the bones and are stored in bone.
Yes body complex. Always exceptions and possibly no 2 people alike. Lots of variables. I think that's what it's critical to listen to your body. And that in itself is challenging.
I read that if you smell the vitamin in the container, if it smells horrible to you, you don't need it, but if it smells good, you need it, so then take it.
@@002wpatrick I think the smell of brewers yeast for instance isn't nice to everybody, but many would benefit from it!
I tried taking D3K2 before bed and I had nightmares or dreams. As soon as I switched to mornings for vitamin D3K2, all the dreams and nightmares stopped.
I get that from melatonin but it is better than my chronic insomnia.
Now I sleep every night.
You are such a blessing to us! Thank you Dr Berg!
D3 is tricky. The later in the day, the higher the D3 absorption. Some believe because D3 is associated with sunlight it could signal to the body it's daytime and disrupt sleep. If you're concerned take D3 late afternoon, 3 or 4ish. Remember to take K2 with D3 or get a combo formula. D3 needs Magnesium, but doesn't need to be taken at the same time, just take magnesium regularly.
I was actually just wondering about this since im doing a 3 day fast. Thank you!

I had a Leadership class, one module was "The Healthy Executive", cod liver oil was a top recommendation. It was suggested a brand that does not give you "fish burbs" like the Omega 3 capsules do. I use -> On Target Living "Alaskan cod liver oil" this is infused with Organic Lemon. No fishy taste or fish burbs. I take on tablespoon every morning.
Thank you Doc as always for your best advice .!🙏I’m taking magnesium and vitamjn d3 before bed so I’m on the right path.God bless🙏♥️😇….
Don't forget k² with your magnesium 🌷🌷🌷
@@MyrtleBeachWebAngel yes I will.😚thank you🙏
I take the D3 and magnesium at bed time too.
Doc, your my go-to quick recommendations for things Ive been dealing with. I had a severe brain injury in 2019, meningeal encephalitis from a staph infection..made an amazing comeback, but every system..without question does not work the same, Digestion is with the top 3, Ive been using your formula for about a month now and have noticed my bloating has decreased most of all, still not 100% but alot better! Keep the content up my friend!
For a staph infection you no doubt took antibiotics. Don't forget the sauerkraut!
What would be the best time to take a multivitamin?
Take with 1st meal of the day.
Dr. Berg love your videos you have helped so many people including me! I just got my lab report from my doctor he said he has never seen at person at 75 years old so healthy. I don't take prescription drugs anymore and have everything great blood sugar blood pressure, cholesterol everything I do still do natural hormones hoping to get rid of that too one day. I could not get out of bed 15years ago living on soda and candy. I was so happy when I talked to the doctor yesterday he said I was proof that no matter how old you are you can reverse damage and become heathy I also have been exercising for 40 years I have been teaching Jazzercise for 30 years. Thanks for all your videos!
After watching you video I started to take my D3-K2 mk7 (3x1000=5000mg) & Magnesium L-threonate (3×144mg =432mg) I don't fall asleep any faster but I do stay asleep and sleep longer. Decided to try for a few days before I commented on my success or lack of if it did not work for me.
Its been 2 weeks since I posted this and its still working.
It took me 2 years to figure out that my multi vitamin was giving me joint pain. They also kept me awake if I took them before bed and they made me nauseous if I took them on an empty stomach. I stopped taking them, started a balanced keto diet and now I feel great. I'd say, ditch the vitamins because they'll probably do more harm than good.
Dr. Berg! Can you make a video with recommendations for us that work night shift and need to sleep during the day??
How do we use our vitamins? How can we fast? Does this differ for men vs women? What can help us fall asleep during the day?
Thank you! 😊
Hi Roxanne. Check out the latest video by Dr. Andrew Huberman. He addresses shift workers, sleep and fasting.
We'll add that to our video suggestion list.

@@Drbergdid you guys ever make that video?
An hour after taking levothyroxine I have coffee and take N-Acetyl Cysteine and normally wait 3 to 4 hours before eating. If meal has fat and protein I take zinc and vitamin D-3. I recently began taking B complex again, but usually with the meal just mentioned along with the two mentioned above. The a.m. thyroid medicine unfortunately dictates what I do in the morning. I wait until 8 p.m. to take amlodopine and a baby aspirin. I just deal with getting up two or three times at night. I wish I could take thyroid medicine later. Thank you Dr. Berg for your very detailed information that you share with all of us.
Doctor Berg thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time 🙏🏼❤️
Been a big fan of your videos for a long time. Thank you and btw you must really know your facts because you keep looking healthier and younger each video. Best wishes and thanks again for all that you share.
Perfect timing! You just saved me a heap of research time, thank you!
I do well & feel my best taking my main vitamins while eating lunch between bites. I never take them with caffeine or on an empty stomach. Eggs with my k2d3 & water made my blood levels of d3 perfect, 61 ng/mL.
Excellent video Dr. Berg. I've been wondering about these things for awhile. Thanks!
Most welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
I’ve found taking my supplements upon waking and at lunchtime is best for me. It took me a long time to realize that taking them before bed actually woke me up 5 hours into sleeping. I sleep through the night now.
I think you might be right. Vitamins are just like food; you wouldn't eat food before going to bed, so why should vitamins be any different? Only exception I might make is magnesium
@@pyracurse I agree. Magnesium and ashwagandha before bed are great
I take ashwaganda for it’s many health benefits. It’s not one that I typically “feel”, but I recently took it on an empty stomach and wow, I really felt a difference.
I take “Gaia Herbs” ashwagandha root, one capsule a day with food and it has given me a nice relaxed feeling. May I ask, how different or what was the difference between taking it with and without food for you.
@I'm happy Google it.
@@lpg12338 Sure, I didn’t feel relaxed as much as really alert, kind of like caffeine but no jitters or heart racing.
@@fbomb7184 Thanks. 👍
I take iron, vitamin c, vitamin d, zinc , turmeric capsules, collagen powder, and green powder.
Another great article you've done. It's a second time I've watched it. I learn more each time. Congratulations!
I was having pain on my left side, (under my rib) usually after I ate and had a bulge. I saw a regular doctor and 2 different digestive doctors and none of em knew why. They said it was just fat which I'm at a "normal" weight. I had an ultra sound, a colonoscopy, and endoscopy and all was fine. One of the digestive doctors wanted to run all kinds of tests on me as well. Thankfully I had found your videos during this time and Tudca is what helped, I'm feeling much better and bulge is almost gone!!! I have been doing mostly Keto and intermediate fasting also. Thank you so much Dr Berg!!!! I appreciate that you truly want to help people. 🌠
I had this problem too!! I even had to go to the emergency room last year because of it and no one could help me. You are the only one I’ve ever come across who has also experienced this
@@adventuresofkatekat Omg, why did you have to go to the ER? Mine would hurt pretty bad after eating so I knew it was something to do with digestion and it seemed like food would get stuck where the bulge was. Interestingly the digestive doctors never said anything about Tudca. I think mine was also from eating a lot of carbs and not getting any exercise when this all came to a head. What has helped you? Are you completely better?
@@svv3244 because it was sticking out and hurting very bad ☹️ I thought maybe something was wrong with my spleen. It happened a few times after too. Because I live in Canada I had to wait almost 6 hours in the ER and then I didn’t get much for help. I have been searching on the internet to find out what could be the cause of this problem and I found nothing. I felt really alone and then I randomly saw your comment on this video and it was such a blessing to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing this. I am going to try tudca :) Can I ask if you did anything else to help? I cut out carbs and that seems to help a lot.
@@adventuresofkatekat Geez, so sorry you've had that experience. I have had it hurt really bad at times (was usually after eating) but never went to ER. It would get hard during those times. One of my friends said one of her friends has same syptoms but they didn't know what it was as her doctors weren't helpful either. I've never been able to find much info or anyone else with this to talk to. So I just tried to cut carbs, eat better, usually one meal a day. I've fasted 48 hours a couple times but Ima do that more often as I think it really has helped. I think that Tudca definitely helped, was like 'the icing on the cake', lol. That is when my bulge finally was feeling better & getting smaller. I try to remember to take it with meals and also take apple cider vinegar in the mornings and before my meal. I also massage that area to try to get things moving. I also try to walk at least 20 minutes a day, more if things permit. What I think mine is, the tube going into my pancreas was getting clogged from all the years of eating carbs & then I sit a lot working from home. Ironically, one of the doctors said my pancreas looked really great when he looked at the ultra sound. When you look for a good tudca, make sure it doesn't have magnesium stearate or silicone dioxide & not from ch!na. The brand I got is from the UK, Sharoaid, advanced tudca. I will be also trying castor oil packs to see if that helps too. I've suffered for over a year & a half & finally been felling better. I really hope this helps you. Best of luck to you. You'll have to update me sometime. :)
Dr Berg you are invaluable to human kind . Thx you ❤🤩
I would be interested to know how many pills everyone is taking per day to keep up. I take several before breakfast, several with breakfast, few more during the day without food, few more with dinner, and few more before bed!!
My concern is what does not do well with my prescriptions. I take 2 at night and 6 in the day time.
I think you're a genius, you know so much. Thank you for your video 😊

Does vitamin B12 affects the kidney also Hb fortex multivitamin?
Maybe you mentioned it but when do you take a multivitamin
I take mine after meal in the evening. I pour bottom fil in glass of apple cider vinegar, then dilute it with water. I take my Vitamins + extra of d vitamin. Then I drink cod liver oil. I feel great.
It's all so confusing 😕
Indeed - it's a wonder that humans have been so successful for so long by eating real natural food.
Just eat one meal a day or 2.. fast in between as long as you can..there you go easy as 123
Yes. I watched again and took notes. Fortunately, my Dr is okay with what I take and helped with a schedule which matches his suggestions.
@@fidelcatsro6948 people would argue with this aswell, fasting (starving) yourself may make you store more fat when you do finally eat
Yea a lot of these people are so psycho focused on being healthy and trying to live as long as possible that’s all they become, all they talk about or do is something with health which falls into the category of obsession, here for a good time not a long time, don’t hyper focus on health, it’s easy to manage without being obsessive
Magnesium in morning because it helps break down fats and carbs
Too many information at once. Can you please make a list or cheat sheet for us?
I take Vitamin B12, vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, Betroot Extract, Spirullina, Fish oil, Collagen and Creatine.
Is what I’m taking safe to take daily?
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try the calcium at bedtime. My body gets tired before my brain all too often.
There is so much that could have been done years ago as respect to vitamins and your health ! Rather than being reactive to bodily conditions associated with vitamin and supplement deficiency when seeing your doctor ! Some doctors prescribing anything but a more natural remedy !
It’s as if there is a separation or collusion between doctors and pharmaceuticals ?!
However , it is up to us as individuals to look after our health !
I've been eating whole lemons everyday for a week I've noticed my skin feels softer .
Be careful they ruin your enamel on your teeth dilute with water and drink with a straw👍

I didn't know that either. Thank you for your comment on that!! 😁👍🏻
Yes very helpful info especially about taking the detoxifiers before bed because they cause some fatigue. Dim and nac make me sluggish all day if I take them in the morning. I didn't know it was a thing that could happen!
I take mine just before I eat breakfast, I don’t recommend taking any supplements when fasting unless it’s digestive enzymes.
I don’t take anything before I sleep.
Your information is so wonderful. Thank you again Doctor Eric
Please Dr Berg make an alternate day diet video please, would love to see how you feel about it.
I feel just as we need to avoid processed food, it is equally important to avoid processed/ synthetic supplements. I support natural food , natural supplements as much as possible 🙏☺️
Natural food? Like uncooked meat? Uncooked Fish? Raw vegtables?
Cooking is a “process”.
@@csawserv I think the natural food that he is talking about are the food that are not processed food. So your fried chicken is a natural food. Processed foods are usually the canned foods.
