    I never believed supplementation could help with my chronic insomnia. But I started reading about it and the first recommendation I came across was to start taking magnesium glycinate. That helped. But then I added Vit D with K2. To my surprise I started sleeping far more than in the past. While it’s not a perfect night’s sleep, it has improved and I’m grateful.

      Add a B 50 for a while and this should get you into REM if you are deficient in Bs - then the biome will start producing the B's you need after reseeded - check out Dr. Stasha Gominak... a real sleep doctor lol

    Here I was thinking my Nurse Practitioner knew her stuff, turns out I must stay on top of my health. I thought I was doing everything right. My body was going through over training syndrome or burnout. Sleep suffered, terrible body aches. I sought after a fix, I took a 5,000IU, a weekly pill, had like 45 tabs left, stopped taking it, bad idea…everything you described, I’m on it. My sleep suffered bad, in my past, stage 4 cancer (liver/Colon) I had started using melatonin gummies, it was helping, as soon as I restarted the vitamin D 5,000IU, slept 9 hours, no waking up in the middle of the night…

      The amount of D3 required to get correct levels varies very widely between people, there is no one standard dose for everyone. If you are supplementing then you need to get your blood levels checked and adjust the dose accordingly.

      Here in the UK, it has recently become possible to buy 'Vitamin D3 as Calcifidiol ' (rather than Cholecalcifidiol) - this bypasses the need for the Liver to take part in the process of making VIT D and makes the substance available to the body in a couple of hours, rather than a couple of weeks. So its the one to take if you suddenly become sick. I believe in some countries in Europe they automatically give it to all emergency admissions to A&E in order to help prevent sepsis.

      Like I said, I mixed vit D3 with dairy! You can use butter cause even if the calcium is highly bioavailable, there's only low amounts of calcium in it. But I would definitely avoid yogurt and cheese and even milk if you're gonna take Vit D, especially if it's high vit D3 intake. For example, if you don't eat dairy, sure, go for 5-10k IUs of vit D3 during winter. I wouldn't do that mixed with dairy though.@@Bulletproofyourhealth

    Everyone in the comment section, You need adequate amounts of magnesium to actually absorb any minerals or vitamins at all!
    There are 7 different kinds of magnesium. I'm sure this Dr. Has a video on magnesium under his channel!
    On a side note; cell salts and pure liquid vitamin are the WAY TO GO! It goes under your tongue and into the blood stream. When ingesting a vitamin, you have to metabolize it through the gut. This can disturb the gut microbiome and throw your good bacteria off causing other issues within the body!
    Gut microbiome is life.
    The absorption rate also becomes lower and if you have inadequate amounts of magnesium within the body... you won't absorb or store what's properly needed.
