Dr Berg notes on this "must see" episode! Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you’d have to consume hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 for months! Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity. The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone. When you increase your vitamin D intake, you’ll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth. The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries. Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup. Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs. It’s best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
Hey Doc. Night shift blue collar worker here. Just want to say thanks. Been taking much higher doses like you recommended and man the major difference in my attitude. Also cutting down on the coffee has made a difference. How about a video for the night crew? 🙏
@@aniawheelock Dear Nurse… Thank you so much for all your work. Nurses are simply the best. I don’t have to tell you how difficult and unnatural the night shift is. It’s very very taxing on the body and I think it destroys your health over time. I hope you can eventually shift out of the night shift… Just for your own well-being. In the meantime, I thank you for all you do.❤❤
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to guy called Eric Berg and the book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
My daughter developed a “connective tissue disorder” her shoulder would dislocate 10+ times per day and she had rips in her tendons. 3 years of physical therapy and surgeries and we were told there was nothing else they can do. I found out about cod liver oil and she hasn’t had dislocations or any more tares in 4 years!!
@@SofieDhimertikaI used 3 tablespoons a day when I found out about it from a Dr Berg’s videos. I used it in salads, with apple cider vinegar. But I was extremely deficient in d3, omega 3, etc. If fasting, I’m using Dr Berg’s D3&K2.
Do you know that there’s a class of antibiotics that causes tendon connective tissue disorders called Fluoroquinolones? I was put on Levaquin for pneumonia seven years ago and was not able to use my right arm for almost two years due to extreme shoulder pain…which also caused nerve damage and numbness in my right thumb. Thankfully, I no longer deal with this but I was never aware that there’s a black box warning about this on the label. There are various names under this class of antibiotics. You might check and see if your daughter was prescribed one of these antibiotics before her injury. It can take upwards to a month or longer for symptoms to appear after taking it.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been "diluted". Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or "forgotten". You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.
Thank you for sharing this! It's so true that much of the valuable nutritional knowledge from the past has been overlooked or suppressed. I appreciate how Dr. Berg consistently brings clarity and uncovers these truths for us. His insights into the changing RDAs and the power of nutritional therapies are invaluable. Blessings to all who continue seeking and sharing this vital information!
Yeah, same with probiotics for gut health....I just buy raw kefir from Sprouts (but not anymore, because the feds are after our farmers), and it's way better than the pills.
Only issue is our food lacks a lot of the essential vitamins and minerals nowadays as the soil is depleted of them, so supplementing seems kind of essential
Magnesium Glycinate: Recommended for its high absorption, with doses potentially exceeding 800 mg to relieve cramps. Some individuals may require significantly higher amounts (up to 2400 mg) depending on needs. Zinc: Best obtained from food sources like red meat and shellfish. For supplementation, it’s crucial to ensure it's part of a trace mineral blend to avoid creating a copper deficiency over time. Vitamin K2: For those taking high doses of vitamin D3 (e.g., 10,000 IU), a ratio of 100 mcg of K2 per 10,000 IU of D3 is suggested. The preferred form is MK-7, which can be found in grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, beef, and eggs. Vitamin A: Best sourced from animal-based foods such as egg yolks and liver, with cod liver oil being particularly recommended for its balance of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene from vegetables is noted as an ineffective source for vitamin A.
On the contrary. Big pharma are really happy your stuffing all these man made unnaturally ingested vitamins into your body. you pee most of it out, your body wants it from good food, the way it's been used to getting it for aeons.
I take 50k a day right now (winter). It's not a dose i just came up with. It's the minimum of what i found i need to keep my mood out of the tank during this time of year. I just needed the courage to go past the RDA bc it did nothing, just nothing. I do have the genes that make Vitamin D harder to uptake. I would have never thought to look for that if it hadnt been for these videos. So grateful, thank you! You also, helped me with my gastritis and sibo!
50,000 iu equals 1.25 mg. It doesn't sound like a lot when its in milligrams does it? For such an important vitamin/hormone, maybe thats why those in charge decided to measure D3 in international units?
He suggests a range of 800mg to 2400mg of magnesium and to take zinc, but not an amount. I take 30mg of zinc, but listen to your body and if you have any of the symptoms of zinc deficiency he explains, I'd take more until they go away.
Thank you for answering my question regarding vitamin D3 and possible toxicity that a well known bio chemist regularly warns about on facebook. I’m so thankful that you clarified this!
I appreciate you very much. It’s much easier for me to absorb the information when you write it on the whiteboard and the dosages together so I can screenshot it and make sure I’m getting exactly what you’re saying.
Would you please consider making an informational video on how you research medical studies and how you read them as well as how you are researching the ingredients of something you may or may not consume? THIS would be really valuable information for EVERYONE. ❤
Thank you for the fantastic suggestion! An informational video on how to research medical studies, interpret them, and evaluate ingredients in products sounds incredibly valuable-I’ll definitely consider creating this to help others make informed choices for their health!
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi Happy New Year! Could you please give us the title so that we may source the video you’re talking about? I’ve only seen videos where he explains his findings and gives sources, but not the underlying methodology to find and interpret that information. I’m still a beginner but I’d really like to learn what it means to do quality research like how I’ve seen Dr Berg and Dr Saladino do so I’d really appreciate it.
I started losing weight from 18/ 6 in my midsection and even ankle legs I stopped eating at 1pm to 6 this morning. I made some organic coffee slowly eating 2 eggs with Avocado and going walking, take my vitamins❤ Merry Christmas to you all ❤
Great content as usual Dr. Berg. I thank God for the day I came across you on RUclips. Since then I take every video and advise of yours seriously. You are a jewel to whoever want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Berg truly has a gift for simplifying health and wellness. I couldn’t agree more-his insights are life-changing for anyone serious about living a healthier lifestyle. Grateful for the knowledge he shares with all of us!
Learn to eat natto. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores usually in the frozen section. I suggest 1/4 teaspoon a day until you get used to the taste and slimy texture. You’ll eventually come to love it and your body will crave it.
Dr. Berg states clearly what personal care physicians dont want to state out loud. It might impact the pharmaceutical industry profits. Thanks Dr. Berg! I voted for you as an RFK consultant candidate! Do you start January 20th on inauguration day?
You need to start the day with the Word of God and finish it that way. The Holy Bible will prosper you eternally, his suggestions can only prosper temporarily and what if something happens and you die? Your healthy body and your soul will go to hell. Thats not Gods will for you ( or any of us,) thats why He sent Jesus. Ask Jesus into your life.
Hi Dr.Berg, I have been doing keto and IF for over a year now. I do it for health (I have no weight or metabolic issues). I also take 10,000 it's daily of vitamin d3. When I had my recent blood work my total cholesterol was 276 (hdl 89 and lol 172). My lipoprotein frac. Nmr was excellent. My triglycerides 60. Then came my vitamin d level: on a scale of 30-100 I was a whopping 129! My doc said he has never seen a level so high. My calcium was 9.8 (in range). I have heard about lean mass hyperresponders. Have you seen people on high fat diets have high vitamin d?
How long have you been taking high dose D3? Do you also take K? I'm kinda in the same boat, high LDL (150+), high HDL (~90), low TG (~45). I think lean mass responder usually have much higher LDL which could be reduced by resistance training for the most part even if you're on keto. I was lean and didn't have any metabolic issue, just wanted to tried keto and IF to see if it ll increase my athletic performance. I ended up losing weight/muscle mass and messed up my metabolic rate. I got back on my previous diet - high carb, low protein and high fat, and things revert back to normal. Long story short, perhaps keto isn't for everyone. As for Vit D, i only supplement Vit D in the winter and early spring to keep it above 50.
Read the Bible. It's better. It names all the foods you should eat too. Berg seems to agree with most: eggs, butter, fat of lambs, etc. Cows, bulls, goats etc etc, veges, fruits, fresh olive oil (not store bought they put stuff in it that is harmful). Honey, nuts etc
I would download, print and LAMINATE that! I find myself going back and forth between Dr. Berg vids to regresh my memory on what to blend with what. PLEASE MAKE IT, Dr. Berg! Regards from Denmark
Yes. I think he discovers new things quite often. For example, he recently understood that magnesium glycinate gets absorbed so much better than magnesium citrate… so less in needed for the same effects.
Eat healthy, exercise and walk a mile a day, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 65th birthday lately. 😊😊🤷
65 ? Your just a lad, I've eaten none of those things and am way older than yourself and fitter than many kids I know. Good fresh food , both meat, fish and veg. No industrial food (supermarket meals or seed oils) Low sugar intake, (that includes especially bread). Add to that regular exercise and sunshine and you'll stand a good chance of a long healthy life. It's the ancient formula, we don't need so called "super foods" they are just today's fad. Most people if they live healthily don't need extra vitamins.
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 Your dedication to healthy living is truly inspiring-such a well-rounded routine with nutrient-rich foods, daily exercise, and mindful habits. It’s proof that small, consistent choices lead to a vibrant and long life. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years ahead!
Who else presses thumbs up even before video started? As you know its going to be right. Thankyou for everything Dr Berg. Happy Christmas to you n yours !. John Campbell has a fantastic new video out with Dr David Grimes. Hour n half of pure gold.
Absolutely agree! Dr. Berg's videos are always a must-watch, and it's great to see the community supporting him even before the video begins. Thanks for sharing about Dr. Campbell's new video with Dr. Grimes-I'll definitely check it out. Wishing you and everyone here a Merry Christmas filled with health and happiness!
Dr Berg I understand what you are saying about 10,000 but my levels are already 119nmol/l so I don’t need 10,000 iu? I take 1400iu. I used to take 2000 to 3000 iu. I get sun in the summer but it’s Scotland so not the most sun in the world. Can you let me know I’m doing ok? I also take 140mg magnesium glycinate . I don’t take zinc as I eat a lot of meat. 80 to 100grams of protein per day. I also take k2 mk7 45mg plus drink kefir . I eat liver pate once a week as well thanks.
Let’s keep things in perspective. This guy isn’t aging well for having what’s considered to some as good health advice. I’m not talking about this video in particular, I’m referring to all of his videos. I am subscribed, because I’m open minded to a lot of perspectives.
Dear Dr. Berg, I'm a subscriber and I've watched quite a few of your videos which I believe is because they ask more questions than they answer. Case in point, this video is entitled "VITAMIN D IS DANGEROUS". I sat through the entire video and noted with frustration that your presentation never explained why "vitamin D is dangerous", and I feel instead that you click baited me so I'm unsubscribing from your channel...
In case of you having really low IQ and reasoning capabilities lower than a toddler, I will explain to you what doctor said in this video There was nothing wrong said, yes he proved the title is true, and yes he proved the title is wrong 1. It's hard to reach vitamin D toxicity levels when it's taken properly (read: with all co-nutrients) 2. Vitamin D IS dangerous, if you would take LARGE doses, over LONG periods of time, WITHOUT consuming vitamin A, K2, magnesium and zinc and a bit of copper to balance zinc intake 3. Vitamin D is necessary for a living 4. He just compressed years of studies to give it to you, so a normal people can access this knowledge without diving into hard-to-understand studies on pubmed or etc.
Why do you say to not eat a lot of nuts? I usually eat between 1-3 cups of peanuts and walnuts a day. They fill me up, they got no carbs and are full of magnesium, omega-3, protein and good fats
My naturopathic doc says my vit d levels are too high at 140, and it tends to leach calcium from bones when too high. He wants my levels at 60-70. So far I can't find any info on the leaching of calcium. Too high happened after inconsistently taking Dr. Berg's D3 + K2 supplement, pretty much only when I have felt maybe a cold or flu coming on. I haven't gotten sick, but am i doing other damage to my bones?
60 - 70 are considered "normal" however 100 would be better. At 140, not necessarily high, "depends" on about 32 other items that must be tested and investigated to determine "normal" for you. Age, Race, family race and culture, area of the world you live in, elevation you live at that location, nutrition / diet, past health history and present health status, present medications...... All must be reviewed, not just a number. Plus, must take three blood tests within one month and then establish an average. Bone marrow biopsy to confirm calcium levels in your bones. Blood / serum levels not a good indicator of bone health.
What's with the sudden change (reduction) in dosage advice for things like Vitamin D and magnesium? It sure is weird that they would say 10,000 or more IU's, then suddenly reduce the recommended amount to 600 - 800 IU.
Yes unless you already get lots of magnesium from diet, but with the high amounts of D needed, no one will be able to get it from diet alone. Better store up the magnesium quickly.
What should the vitamin d level be in your blood? Would it be better to aim for certain level instead of telling people to take 10k IU every day? You need to monitor the level and adjust accordingly. Mine seem to go up nicely at 8000IU daily. Latest bloodwork showed 259 nmol/l which is about 105 ng/ml. I think 10k IU daily is fine for most people as they will likely not absorb it well anyway.
I agree with you on the point that dose of Vitamin D should be adjusted according to the blood level of Vitamin D. According to the Endocrine Society of America the preferred level of Vitamin D is 4o to 60 ng/ml which is equivalent to 100 to 150 nmol/L. Stay healthy.
I completely agree, levels should be tested every 3-6 months and doses should be adjusted accordingly. The aim is to get levels between 60 and 90 ng/mL.
Dr. Eric, you are doing an incredible job! May God bless you abundantly. I follow your channel regularly, and it’s truly informative and impactful, helping the community stay healthy and informed. I’m writing to you from Kashmir, India, and I wanted to request a detailed video on the rising cases of high TSH levels, which has become a global concern. It would be amazing if you could explain how to manage and bring TSH levels back to normal, along with practical remedies and lifestyle changes that can make a difference. Thank you for your valuable efforts!
I have no gallbladder and all keto does for me is I get weaker and weaker with each passing month. Had to go back to a controlled normal diet with not too much fat. Shame, because I do like keto and it used to work in the past.
I am so sorry to hear that I hope you find what keeps you in the best health possible! I think keto is great for alot of healing the body, literally like fasting but all longlived populations eat moderate ammounts of carbs and science is catching on to this whilst it is also surfacing that keto can be very dangerous for the heart. I know that there will be no babies without carbs because the female body wont bleed with to little carbs. I tried Keto and find it utterly fascination and a very cool, sort of, medicinal practise, but calling it the human diet, makes zero sense. How would one eat so much fat in nature? From what I hear our mitochondria needs plant foods to thrive.
The part at 1:12 about magnesium and its connection to vitamin D is such a great reminder! 🌱 I never realized how important it is to balance these nutrients. Thanks for the practical tips, especially the starch test-so helpful! 🙌
It's great to hear that you've found something that works well for you! Staying consistent with K2 and magnesium alongside seems like a thoughtful approach. Just make sure to keep listening to your body and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Wishing you continued health and well-being!
@@lisayerace6117 Good question, I have spent much time trying to find information on the matter, but nothing substantial. What I have found is a correlation between kidney stones and high fat diets (ie fat from meat, dairy, and bad trans fats)?
So we need a cheat sheet on Vitamin and Metal Ratios. Perhaps suggested Criteria for Blood Results to know what is high, and what is low. Fillers are there to make it something solid since the amount of active ingredient is tiny. As far as *they know, dextrins are harmless. Also there isn't much in a pill. Up to you to decide if that worries you enough to avoid it.
Thank you for showing the "starch test" it was so interesting. Food sources are always the best. I have never considered cod liver oil. Does this have a bad taste? Thinking back to the TV show the Beverly Hillbillies granny use to talk about it. Of course you never knew what her recipes would do to you!
You keep recommending cod liver oil, but aren't you worried about dioxine contamination? Would be great if you could make a video about that. Keep up the good work.
Well I have a personal testimony on vitamin d toxicity I was taking synthetic vitamin d 50,000 units once a week from my doctor And when I was laying down my spine was hurting and felt like it was splitting in pieces. And I figured out it was the synthetic prescription vitamin d that was causing the problem I quit taking it and the issue solved itself. So I don't recommend you take a gigantic dose once a week of any synthetic vitamin
I developed arthritis too despite taking it along with K2 and Mg. I got it in my back, fingers and hips. Now I pause D3 intake. Maybe my D3 Supplement was synthetic too or the K2 Mg was not high enough. How can I know if the D3 is synthetic?
Dr. Berg I had levels of 13.7 vitamin D in May, after watching your videos I switched it up and haven’t felt this consistently good in years , literally years

Many people advising me to stop having lime water( half lime , 400ml water, salt) daily. They saying i shouldn't consume foods that are sour, some saying it may affect my kidney and intestines....what should i do?
Depends on the individual as well. I don’t have any deficiencies but I take 10k vit d3 with 100mg k2, 50mg of zinc and 500mg of magnesium. Now, this is my maintenance dosages, if you have deficiencies you might need to up your dosages, by how much, I can’t tell, there are numerous factors, do your research and test some things on yourself. Not 1 doctor told me to take more than 2k d3 units daily, not 1 doctor told me to take more than 250mg magnesium. Ps. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a person that eats as healthy as possible, does 20k steps a day, workouts 7/7 days a week, I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t do drugs, I’m overall a healthy person.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg for the whole year you have advised. All your informations are changing myself and my family. We are fortunate to know your website. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family also your team🌲🌲🙏🙏🙏👍👍❤
@Drberg That's great to know, I had no idea what kind. I will continue eating 8 cups of organic dark leafy greens every day on your version of healthy keto. It will be 3 years, come March of 2025, that I've been very strict eating this way. Thank you for all of your knowledge and wisdom!!!!
Hard to know which brand of vitamins to buy as many claim to be naturally sourced or have high potency, but then use fillers. Unless you grow your own food it's hard to know which is fresh. Organic claims on food are always being called into question. We just have to do the best we can.
I prefer the capsule, it's extremely easy to swallow. I've been taking Dr. Berg's brand of D3 and K2. Seems to be good stuff. I also have been taking 500mg mag glycinate from a brand called Naturebell. I also occasionally take Dr. Berg's vitamin B1 (allithiamine) complex.
The magnesium supplement i bought says on it: Energy: from 700 mg Magnesium Glycinate, and next to it says each capsule: 91mg. The package is 60 capsules so does it mean each capsule has 700 mg of magnesium or 91? I am confused
In a previous video when Dr. Berg recommends taking 10-20k IUs of Vit D3, he recommends 500 mg of Mg but here, he recommends 800 mg. Can anyone clarify? Thanks.
Dear Dr. Berg, what could it mean if both vitamin D and parathormone (PTH) levels are elevated simultaneously? Could this be a sign of vitamin D resistance? I would appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you.
Thank you for pointing out the dangers of exacerbating a magnesium deficiency through taking vitamin D. I hope everyone understands the lack of magnesium in our soil, and how necessary it is to supplement magnesium in the form of glycinate and malate. Much appreciated, Dr Berg. Thank you.
When I was taking Vitamin D3 my liver enzymes were elevated a little. I was sent to a gastroenterologist and I slowly eliminated supplements( over 9 m) It was the vitamin D. When tested my vitamin D was 40. That was during the summer and I live in FL. Have you ever heard of this? Could I be sensitive to it or maybe have a gene mutation that causes this? All the doctors were stumped. I would like to keep my levels up especially during the winter months. I’m scared to start taking it again.
I’ve taken D and K separately and then I’ve taken them in a combination supplement together and it’s easier and more beneficial taking a supplement that has D and K together. I take magnesium as well.
I did not take vitamin D for 4 or 5 years, because I realized it was making me sick to my stomach all the time . Then I had a nurse practitioner mention that it was probably the source of vitamin D that was causing it. Now I primarily get my vitamin D from a lichen source as well as from fish . In addition to the vitamin d, I realized that magnesium was also causing nausea. I have not been able to take any vitamin that has magnesium in it for a few years now, as it makes me very sick to my stomach. I have to avoid even vitamins that have just a small amount in it. So I've been getting my magnesium by soaking my feet in magnesium. I can also get it through food, as I have not had any issues with that. Would you happen to know if the magnesium issue could be more of a source issue as the vitamin d was?
I don't remember which one but Dr. B goes over this in a posture video. He explains which vitamin to take to loosen the muscles in the chest area as they've contracted to a painful degree which causes people to hunch.
I take 45 000. It stopped my change of life symptoms completely in winter. In summer I'm outside for 1 to 2 hours and they haven't returned almost 59 now. I started when I was 52.
I just started taking 25,000-30,000 iu of vit D with 300 K2 and zinc and magnesium due to fibroid bleeding. It has helped tremendously. But I would like to get my levels checked can you recommend any testing?
@@patriotpirate2968Can they all be taken together because I also want to start taking them for fibroids too, I have a lot of them. Pls share the best time to take them. Thanks 🙏🏽
@nons958 i take the D, K2, zinc and 1 of the 3 magnesium capsules together and then the other two are night before bed. Total magnesium is 400mg but I think I should take a little more.
Hello! Magnesium sulfate has strong laxative properties and can lead to significant gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and stomach cramps. Here is more information! 👉 ruclips.net/video/hIAsSAgTRb4/видео.html

Dr Berg notes on this "must see" episode!
Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you’d have to consume hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 for months!
Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity.
The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone.
When you increase your vitamin D intake, you’ll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth.
The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries.
Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup.
Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals.
For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs.
It’s best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources.
Thank you Dr Berg!

And this video is a perfect example of how smart competent and helpful Dr Berg is!!!! God bless Dr Berg!!!
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to guy called Eric Berg and the book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Thanks for sharing I love eric berg
i will give that a read
🙄😂 read many books lmaoo
What’s the book about
@@rnyak2208 IKR
My daughter developed a “connective tissue disorder” her shoulder would dislocate 10+ times per day and she had rips in her tendons. 3 years of physical therapy and surgeries and we were told there was nothing else they can do. I found out about cod liver oil and she hasn’t had dislocations or any more tares in 4 years!!
What dosage per day of cod liver oil ?
@@SofieDhimertikaI used 3 tablespoons a day when I found out about it from a Dr Berg’s videos. I used it in salads, with apple cider vinegar. But I was extremely deficient in d3, omega 3, etc. If fasting, I’m using Dr Berg’s D3&K2.
Collagen supps regularly might also assist
Do you know that there’s a class of antibiotics that causes tendon connective tissue disorders called Fluoroquinolones? I was put on Levaquin for pneumonia seven years ago and was not able to use my right arm for almost two years due to extreme shoulder pain…which also caused nerve damage and numbness in my right thumb. Thankfully, I no longer deal with this but I was never aware that there’s a black box warning about this on the label. There are various names under this class of antibiotics. You might check and see if your daughter was prescribed one of these antibiotics before her injury. It can take upwards to a month or longer for symptoms to appear after taking it.
It's almost as if modern-day doctors are almost useless.
My life is divided to 2 parts:
Before I got to know Dr. Berg, and after...
Indeed, same here!
Amen 🙏
I believe that 12.9M of us are on a healthier path thanks to Dr. Berg!
Honestly. Same.
Same! God bless you Doc
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been "diluted". Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or "forgotten". You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.
Really glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support!
Thank you for sharing this! It's so true that much of the valuable nutritional knowledge from the past has been overlooked or suppressed. I appreciate how Dr. Berg consistently brings clarity and uncovers these truths for us. His insights into the changing RDAs and the power of nutritional therapies are invaluable. Blessings to all who continue seeking and sharing this vital information!
More like suppressed. Because pharmas need sick people for profits
My father vit d3 is 15 on blood tests and he is bedridden so what i do?@@Drberg
does it mean that i need to take magnesium too if i'm going to take vit D, K? been taking collagen for hair, but hair is still falling out in bulk
After doing supplements i realize just eating healthy food and getting outside does more good than anything.
This.
I agree, talking from experience 👌
Yeah, same with probiotics for gut health....I just buy raw kefir from Sprouts (but not anymore, because the feds are after our farmers), and it's way better than the pills.
Correct. Most natural
Only issue is our food lacks a lot of the essential vitamins and minerals nowadays as the soil is depleted of them, so supplementing seems kind of essential
You're one of the world's best Christmas gifts Dr Berg and we are blessed to have you in our lives. ❤🙏
Merry Christmas everyone!!
🙏
@EnlightenedPatriot1 blessings and love to you my friend 🙏
Oh puleeze! Hes got about 12 million dollars from doing this! Google and see! You people worship anyone!
Magnesium Glycinate: Recommended for its high absorption, with doses potentially exceeding 800 mg to relieve cramps. Some individuals may require significantly higher amounts (up to 2400 mg) depending on needs.
Zinc: Best obtained from food sources like red meat and shellfish. For supplementation, it’s crucial to ensure it's part of a trace mineral blend to avoid creating a copper deficiency over time.
Vitamin K2: For those taking high doses of vitamin D3 (e.g., 10,000 IU), a ratio of 100 mcg of K2 per 10,000 IU of D3 is suggested. The preferred form is MK-7, which can be found in grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, beef, and eggs.
Vitamin A: Best sourced from animal-based foods such as egg yolks and liver, with cod liver oil being particularly recommended for its balance of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene from vegetables is noted as an ineffective source for vitamin A.
Helpful. Thank you
I honestly love your channel. Please don’t click bait
I agree. Especially with opposing information.
I love how you always share the books you are reading with your audience. They are books Big Pharma wishes would disappear. So thank you sir!
It's called advertisement.
@ they aren’t his books, they are usually unknown and he wants to get the word out smarty pants
Kat do you by any chance have the titles of the other books. I want to write them all down and buy it slowly
On the contrary. Big pharma are really happy your stuffing all these man made unnaturally ingested vitamins into your body. you pee most of it out, your body wants it from good food, the way it's been used to getting it for aeons.
@@Proudlyme no I don’t but that’s a great idea though.
I take 50k a day right now (winter). It's not a dose i just came up with. It's the minimum of what i found i need to keep my mood out of the tank during this time of year. I just needed the courage to go past the RDA bc it did nothing, just nothing. I do have the genes that make Vitamin D harder to uptake. I would have never thought to look for that if it hadnt been for these videos. So grateful, thank you! You also, helped me with my gastritis and sibo!
50,000 iu equals 1.25 mg. It doesn't sound like a lot when its in milligrams does it? For such an important vitamin/hormone, maybe thats why those in charge decided to measure D3 in international units?
Ur taking the k2 aswell?
How you cured Sibo
Checked your levels?
@@ccaselli7 yes and Zinc and mg.
Thanks for all of the help this year Doc, made a big diffrence
Happy Christmas to you and all your viewers 🎄🎄
The same to you too
❤hpy Christmas
So if you take 10,000 units of vitamin d3 how much magnesium and zinc would be needed?
dr bergs vitamine d supplement has 100mcg k2, 25mg magnesium citrate and 20mg zinc sulfate and additional 3.4mg B6
his video yesterday or maybe Saturday covers your question
He tells you in THIS video. Watch the damn video.
Rude, but true.
@@michiganman845
He suggests a range of 800mg to 2400mg of magnesium and to take zinc, but not an amount. I take 30mg of zinc, but listen to your body and if you have any of the symptoms of zinc deficiency he explains, I'd take more until they go away.
Why are there not more doctors like you. Thank you for the information!
You're absolutely welcome!
@@DrbergDr Berg, I have vitamin D deficiency, have ordered your D3+ K2
Is it helpful for those wit PBC? Thank you!
@@NonaK-mz8oyit is but search his videos on this subject and on symptoms related to this.
Thank you for answering my question regarding vitamin D3 and possible toxicity that a well known bio chemist regularly warns about on facebook. I’m so thankful that you clarified this!
You are very welcome! I'm glad that you found the information helpful!
He made other great videos on vitamin d “toxicity” that helped me greatly.
I appreciate you very much. It’s much easier for me to absorb the information when you write it on the whiteboard and the dosages together so I can screenshot it and make sure I’m getting exactly what you’re saying.
Would you please consider making an informational video on how you research medical studies and how you read them as well as how you are researching the ingredients of something you may or may not consume? THIS would be really valuable information for EVERYONE. ❤
Thank you for the fantastic suggestion! An informational video on how to research medical studies, interpret them, and evaluate ingredients in products sounds incredibly valuable-I’ll definitely consider creating this to help others make informed choices for their health!
Ye. Would love to know where he gets his information.
He made at least one videos on this.
@@lilybond6485he also made videos on his sources.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi Happy New Year! Could you please give us the title so that we may source the video you’re talking about? I’ve only seen videos where he explains his findings and gives sources, but not the underlying methodology to find and interpret that information. I’m still a beginner but I’d really like to learn what it means to do quality research like how I’ve seen Dr Berg and Dr Saladino do so I’d really appreciate it.
I started losing weight from 18/ 6 in my midsection and even ankle legs I stopped eating at 1pm to 6 this morning. I made some organic coffee slowly eating 2 eggs with Avocado and going walking, take my vitamins❤

Great content as usual Dr. Berg. I thank God for the day I came across you on RUclips. Since then I take every video and advise of yours seriously. You are a jewel to whoever want to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Berg truly has a gift for simplifying health and wellness. I couldn’t agree more-his insights are life-changing for anyone serious about living a healthier lifestyle. Grateful for the knowledge he shares with all of us!
Master class in conciseness, you made it rock for this adhd dude.
Learn to eat natto. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores usually in the frozen section. I suggest 1/4 teaspoon a day until you get used to the taste and slimy texture. You’ll eventually come to love it and your body will crave it.
Heard of...i take nattokinase...i assume its the active compound in natto?
I take the natto capsules.
Hmm .....
I like natto, it kind of tastes like coffee to me.
Dr. Berg states clearly what personal care physicians dont want to state out loud. It might impact the pharmaceutical industry profits.
Thanks Dr. Berg! I voted for you as an RFK consultant candidate!
Do you start January 20th on inauguration day?
Same 😊
???? It's well known that a deficiency can lead to thinning hair
Love Dr Eric Berg 1st thing in the morning, best way to start the day with knowledge on self care ❤
But this is not knowledge about yourself
You need to start the day with the Word of God and finish it that way. The Holy Bible will prosper you eternally, his suggestions can only prosper temporarily and what if something happens and you die? Your healthy body and your soul will go to hell.
Thats not Gods will for you ( or any of us,) thats why He sent Jesus.
Ask Jesus into your life.
Can I take vit d in the morning and magnesium at night??
I'm thankful that I found your channel and love the way you present information.
Hi Dr.Berg, I have been doing keto and IF for over a year now. I do it for health (I have no weight or metabolic issues). I also take 10,000 it's daily of vitamin d3. When I had my recent blood work my total cholesterol was 276 (hdl 89 and lol 172). My lipoprotein frac. Nmr was excellent. My triglycerides 60. Then came my vitamin d level: on a scale of 30-100 I was a whopping 129! My doc said he has never seen a level so high. My calcium was 9.8 (in range). I have heard about lean mass hyperresponders. Have you seen people on high fat diets have high vitamin d?
How long have you been taking high dose D3? Do you also take K? I'm kinda in the same boat, high LDL (150+), high HDL (~90), low TG (~45). I think lean mass responder usually have much higher LDL which could be reduced by resistance training for the most part even if you're on keto. I was lean and didn't have any metabolic issue, just wanted to tried keto and IF to see if it ll increase my athletic performance. I ended up losing weight/muscle mass and messed up my metabolic rate. I got back on my previous diet - high carb, low protein and high fat, and things revert back to normal. Long story short, perhaps keto isn't for everyone. As for Vit D, i only supplement Vit D in the winter and early spring to keep it above 50.
1 year with 10,000 is vitamin D. I have added some carbs back into my diet and will have levels rechecked. Thank you for your input.
What about magnesium? Magnesium activates vit D.
Great video! I thought it would be redundant but I did learn something new!
Thank you Dr Berg am still learning so much from you.
Read the Bible. It's better. It names all the foods you should eat too. Berg seems to agree with most: eggs, butter, fat of lambs, etc. Cows, bulls, goats etc etc, veges, fruits, fresh olive oil (not store bought they put stuff in it that is harmful).
Honey, nuts etc
A supplement dependency table would be a nice summary/reference. Maybe with proportions in the cell.
I would download, print and LAMINATE that! I find myself going back and forth between Dr. Berg vids to regresh my memory on what to blend with what.
PLEASE MAKE IT, Dr. Berg!
Regards from Denmark
Yes. I think he discovers new things quite often. For example, he recently understood that magnesium glycinate gets absorbed so much better than magnesium citrate… so less in needed for the same effects.
Eat healthy, exercise and walk a mile a day, take vitamin tabs, eat black garlic and fermented cabbage such as Sauerkraut & kimchi, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink kefir yogurt drink & matcha green tea and sleep well. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 65th birthday lately. 😊😊🤷
🎉
65 ? Your just a lad, I've eaten none of those things and am way older than yourself and fitter than many kids I know. Good fresh food , both meat, fish and veg. No industrial food (supermarket meals or seed oils) Low sugar intake, (that includes especially bread). Add to that regular exercise and sunshine and you'll stand a good chance of a long healthy life. It's the ancient formula, we don't need so called "super foods" they are just today's fad. Most people if they live healthily don't need extra vitamins.
I also eat fermented foods every day. My diet consists pretty much like yours, I'm in good health, knock on wood
Eat apple a day
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 Your dedication to healthy living is truly inspiring-such a well-rounded routine with nutrient-rich foods, daily exercise, and mindful habits. It’s proof that small, consistent choices lead to a vibrant and long life. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years ahead!
Who else presses thumbs up even before video started? As you know its going to be right. Thankyou for everything Dr Berg. Happy Christmas to you n yours !.
John Campbell has a fantastic new video out with Dr David Grimes. Hour n half of pure gold.
Thumbs up if I watch the video, my payment for their sharing.
That's... terrible behavior. Lol. It probably is good, but lying about it(don't kid yourself) is how frauds get more views and hurt people.
Absolutely agree! Dr. Berg's videos are always a must-watch, and it's great to see the community supporting him even before the video begins. Thanks for sharing about Dr. Campbell's new video with Dr. Grimes-I'll definitely check it out. Wishing you and everyone here a Merry Christmas filled with health and happiness!
Dr Berg I understand what you are saying about 10,000 but my levels are already 119nmol/l so I don’t need 10,000 iu? I take 1400iu. I used to take 2000 to 3000 iu. I get sun in the summer but it’s Scotland so not the most sun in the world. Can you let me know I’m doing ok? I also take 140mg magnesium glycinate . I don’t take zinc as I eat a lot of meat. 80 to 100grams of protein per day. I also take k2 mk7 45mg plus drink kefir . I eat liver pate once a week as well thanks.
Maybe you should consult a real doctor. Berg is not an MD. He is a chiropractor.
@@lilybond6485 doctor also didn’t get a lot of nutrients and supplements studies. Surprise.
Going to order that Cod Liver Oil. Thank You Dr Berg and Happy Holidays!
Let’s keep things in perspective.
This guy isn’t aging well for having what’s considered to some as
good health advice.
I’m not talking about this video in particular,
I’m referring to all of his videos.
I am subscribed, because I’m open minded to a lot of perspectives.
What a weird thing to add that is not even true. ???
The shouty title seems a must have theese days. The content is good as always. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! I am a bodybuilder, and thanks to you, I can achieve better results in my fitness journey. I'm glad I found this channel!
Dear Dr. Berg, I'm a subscriber and I've watched quite a few of your videos which I believe is because they ask more questions than they answer. Case in point, this video is entitled "VITAMIN D IS DANGEROUS". I sat through the entire video and noted with frustration that your presentation never explained why "vitamin D is dangerous", and I feel instead that you click baited me so I'm unsubscribing from your channel...
Agreed
In case of you having really low IQ and reasoning capabilities lower than a toddler, I will explain to you what doctor said in this video
There was nothing wrong said, yes he proved the title is true, and yes he proved the title is wrong
1. It's hard to reach vitamin D toxicity levels when it's taken properly (read: with all co-nutrients)
2. Vitamin D IS dangerous, if you would take LARGE doses, over LONG periods of time, WITHOUT consuming vitamin A, K2, magnesium and zinc and a bit of copper to balance zinc intake
3. Vitamin D is necessary for a living
4. He just compressed years of studies to give it to you, so a normal people can access this knowledge without diving into hard-to-understand studies on pubmed or etc.
He actually explained it pretty precisely. Maybe listen to the video again…….
Why do you say to not eat a lot of nuts? I usually eat between 1-3 cups of peanuts and walnuts a day. They fill me up, they got no carbs and are full of magnesium, omega-3, protein and good fats
My naturopathic doc says my vit d levels are too high at 140, and it tends to leach calcium from bones when too high. He wants my levels at 60-70. So far I can't find any info on the leaching of calcium. Too high happened after inconsistently taking Dr. Berg's D3 + K2 supplement, pretty much only when I have felt maybe a cold or flu coming on. I haven't gotten sick, but am i doing other damage to my bones?
60 - 70 are considered "normal" however 100 would be better. At 140, not necessarily high, "depends" on about 32 other items that must be tested and investigated to determine "normal" for you. Age, Race, family race and culture, area of the world you live in, elevation you live at that location, nutrition / diet, past health history and present health status, present medications...... All must be reviewed, not just a number. Plus, must take three blood tests within one month and then establish an average. Bone marrow biopsy to confirm calcium levels in your bones. Blood / serum levels not a good indicator of bone health.
Love the help. You educate us, the public on nutrition. Thank you.
That's great to hear, thank you!
what is a natural source of vitamin d3?
What's with the sudden change (reduction) in dosage advice for things like Vitamin D and magnesium? It sure is weird that they would say 10,000 or more IU's, then suddenly reduce the recommended amount to 600 - 800 IU.
vit D above RDI causes calcification of soft tissue
So.. I've been taking Zinc and Vitamin D3 supplements for like a year, but without Magnesium.. should I also start taking magnesium with these?
urgently
Yes!!
watch video again, yep, take magnesium, he recommends magnesium glycinate, 400 to 800 mg daily
Yes unless you already get lots of magnesium from diet, but with the high amounts of D needed, no one will be able to get it from diet alone. Better store up the magnesium quickly.
Don’t have to be taking zinc supplements, you can get that in the diet especially eating red meat
What should the vitamin d level be in your blood? Would it be better to aim for certain level instead of telling people to take 10k IU every day? You need to monitor the level and adjust accordingly. Mine seem to go up nicely at 8000IU daily. Latest bloodwork showed 259 nmol/l which is about 105 ng/ml. I think 10k IU daily is fine for most people as they will likely not absorb it well anyway.
I agree with you on the point that dose of Vitamin D should be adjusted according to the blood level of Vitamin D. According to the Endocrine Society of America the preferred level of Vitamin D is 4o to 60 ng/ml which is equivalent to 100 to 150 nmol/L. Stay healthy.
I completely agree, levels should be tested every 3-6 months and doses should be adjusted accordingly. The aim is to get levels between 60 and 90 ng/mL.
Dr. Eric, you are doing an incredible job! May God bless you abundantly. I follow your channel regularly, and it’s truly informative and impactful, helping the community stay healthy and informed.
I’m writing to you from Kashmir, India, and I wanted to request a detailed video on the rising cases of high TSH levels, which has become a global concern. It would be amazing if you could explain how to manage and bring TSH levels back to normal, along with practical remedies and lifestyle changes that can make a difference. Thank you for your valuable efforts!
You've been a huge help I've been learning a lot from you and it turns everything I've been taught from childhood on its head
Hello there! Really appreciate your message. Glad the information is helping. Thanks for watching!
You can make ketones by doing keto diet, eating healthy fats, fasting, Keep your carbs low
Amen
Then you look at Freelee the banana girl, insane amounts of carbs, stomach flat as a pancake, reversed all her health conditions. So go figure 😜🐒
Yet moderate carbs seem to be a staple for longevity actaully
I have no gallbladder and all keto does for me is I get weaker and weaker with each passing month. Had to go back to a controlled normal diet with not too much fat. Shame, because I do like keto and it used to work in the past.
I am so sorry to hear that I hope you find what keeps you in the best health possible! I think keto is great for alot of healing the body, literally like fasting but all longlived populations eat moderate ammounts of carbs and science is catching on to this whilst it is also surfacing that keto can be very dangerous for the heart. I know that there will be no babies without carbs because the female body wont bleed with to little carbs. I tried Keto and find it utterly fascination and a very cool, sort of, medicinal practise, but calling it the human diet, makes zero sense. How would one eat so much fat in nature? From what I hear our mitochondria needs plant foods to thrive.
Wishing you all the best of health for the New Year!!
So sweet of you! You too. Remain blessed!
Best video yet, all the information needed all wrapped up in one !

Taking this has helped me so much. I don't want to stop. K2 and mag alongside. Hopefully nothing bad happens.
It's great to hear that you've found something that works well for you! Staying consistent with K2 and magnesium alongside seems like a thoughtful approach. Just make sure to keep listening to your body and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Wishing you continued health and well-being!
Vitamin D and kidney stones? Any correlation?
@@lisayerace6117
Good question, I have spent much time trying to find information on the matter, but nothing substantial.
What I have found is a correlation between kidney stones and high fat diets (ie fat from meat, dairy, and bad trans fats)?
So we need a cheat sheet on Vitamin and Metal Ratios. Perhaps suggested Criteria for Blood Results to know what is high, and what is low.
Fillers are there to make it something solid since the amount of active ingredient is tiny. As far as *they know, dextrins are harmless. Also there isn't much in a pill. Up to you to decide if that worries you enough to avoid it.
thank you, Dr. Berg and Company.
Best of all vitamin D videos ever seen in my opinion.
Thank you! I hope this helps you understand the truth about vitamin D toxicity. I’ll see you in the next video.
Thank you for showing the "starch test" it was so interesting. Food sources are always the best. I have never considered cod liver oil. Does this have a bad taste? Thinking back to the TV show the Beverly Hillbillies granny use to talk about it. Of course you never knew what her recipes would do to you!
You keep recommending cod liver oil, but aren't you worried about dioxine contamination? Would be great if you could make a video about that. Keep up the good work.
Well I have a personal testimony on vitamin d toxicity
I was taking synthetic vitamin d 50,000 units once a week from my doctor
And when I was laying down my spine was hurting and felt like it was splitting in pieces. And I figured out it was the synthetic prescription vitamin d that was causing the problem I quit taking it and the issue solved itself.
So I don't recommend you take a gigantic dose once a week of any synthetic vitamin
And try another brand, sometimes you're allergic to the filler or bonding agent they use. Change brand 95% fix the problem.
I developed arthritis too despite taking it along with K2 and Mg. I got it in my back, fingers and hips. Now I pause D3 intake. Maybe my D3 Supplement was synthetic too or the K2 Mg was not high enough. How can I know if the D3 is synthetic?
So did u switch to only 10k a day?
@@aladdin8623 mines worse too !
You'll find that 50000iu of vit d is d2. Not d3
So are we supposed to take Vit D3 with all those additional vitamins for it to work? Im currently taking Vit D and I add K2. What's the proper way?
Take beef liver capsules
Dr. Berg I had levels of 13.7 vitamin D in May, after watching your videos I switched it up and haven’t felt this consistently good in years , literally years
I believe not that often. Same thing can happen to sensitive people when they start to experience more sunlight.
“Maybe it worked too well, and they had to take it out” 😂😂
Thank you for the clarity you bring.

I love how doctors can warn about dangers of food supplement and bring up more food supplements as solution
Gotta get the bag somehow
What are the ratios of zinc, k2, mag, vit e, thanks
Depends on the individual as well. I don’t have any deficiencies but I take 10k vit d3 with 100mg k2, 50mg of zinc and 500mg of magnesium. Now, this is my maintenance dosages, if you have deficiencies you might need to up your dosages, by how much, I can’t tell, there are numerous factors, do your research and test some things on yourself. Not 1 doctor told me to take more than 2k d3 units daily, not 1 doctor told me to take more than 250mg magnesium. Ps. I’m not a doctor, I’m just a person that eats as healthy as possible, does 20k steps a day, workouts 7/7 days a week, I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t do drugs, I’m overall a healthy person.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg for the whole year you have advised. All your informations are changing myself and my family. We are fortunate to know your website. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family also your team🌲🌲🙏🙏🙏👍👍❤
What do Dr.Berg eat on christmas ? THANK YOU, Dr. Berg
Dr. Berg, you said magnesium comes from dark leafy greens, I understand that part, but what KIND of magnesium is that?? Does anyone know what KIND??
Magnesium glycinate.
@Drberg That's great to know, I had no idea what kind. I will continue eating 8 cups of organic dark leafy greens every day on your version of healthy keto. It will be 3 years, come March of 2025, that I've been very strict eating this way. Thank you for all of your knowledge and wisdom!!!!
Really great to hear this, Joseph! Very well done on all your progress. Keep up the good work!
Hard to know which brand of vitamins to buy as many claim to be naturally sourced or have high potency, but then use fillers. Unless you grow your own food it's hard to know which is fresh. Organic claims on food are always being called into question. We just have to do the best we can.
Dr Berg’s D3&K2 is best, based on my experiments.
VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO! Thank you Dr. Berg ❤
I've never taken Vitamin D3 as a capsule. I always take it as a softgel and make sure that they use EV olive oil instead of a seed oil.
what brand is that? thnaks
@@PolPotsPieHole Not OP, but I use doctors best brand of D3. It uses only EVOO and no other seed oils.
I prefer the capsule, it's extremely easy to swallow. I've been taking Dr. Berg's brand of D3 and K2. Seems to be good stuff. I also have been taking 500mg mag glycinate from a brand called Naturebell. I also occasionally take Dr. Berg's vitamin B1 (allithiamine) complex.
@@PolPotsPieHole I use the Now brand.
I use Vitamin Shoppe D gelcaps. I I don't like capsules either.
What tests should I, a menopausal, late 50s woman ask for at my next Dr appt? Keto since June, 30 pounds down. Thank you
The magnesium supplement i bought says on it: Energy: from 700 mg Magnesium Glycinate, and next to it says each capsule: 91mg. The package is 60 capsules so does it mean each capsule has 700 mg of magnesium or 91? I am confused
In a previous video when Dr. Berg recommends taking 10-20k IUs of Vit D3, he recommends 500 mg of Mg but here, he recommends 800 mg. Can anyone clarify? Thanks.
This explains so much. I have low T, dry skin, cramping and psoriasis. I’m excited to try this. Thank you Dr. ❤
Glad to help!
Bravo! Thank you for explaining this!!!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄
Dear Dr. Berg, what could it mean if both vitamin D and parathormone (PTH) levels are elevated simultaneously? Could this be a sign of vitamin D resistance? I would appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you.
Thank you for pointing out the dangers of exacerbating a magnesium deficiency through taking vitamin D.
I hope everyone understands the lack of magnesium in our soil, and how necessary it is to supplement magnesium in the form of glycinate and malate.
Much appreciated, Dr Berg.
Thank you.
When I was taking Vitamin D3 my liver enzymes were elevated a little. I was sent to a gastroenterologist and I slowly eliminated supplements( over 9 m) It was the vitamin D. When tested my vitamin D was 40. That was during the summer and I live in FL. Have you ever heard of this? Could I be sensitive to it or maybe have a gene mutation that causes this? All the doctors were stumped. I would like to keep my levels up especially during the winter months. I’m scared to start taking it again.
Sometimes I see K2 and D3 together, in a single supplement.
I take one of them D and K and 5 just vitamin D
Dr Berg’s vitamin D supplement is the GOAT.
You don’t say
I’ve taken D and K separately and then I’ve taken them in a combination supplement together and it’s easier and more beneficial taking a supplement that has D and K together. I take magnesium as well.
God bless you ,Dr Berg.
I did not take vitamin D for 4 or 5 years, because I realized it was making me sick to my stomach all the time . Then I had a nurse practitioner mention that it was probably the source of vitamin D that was causing it. Now I primarily get my vitamin D from a lichen source as well as from fish . In addition to the vitamin d, I realized that magnesium was also causing nausea. I have not been able to take any vitamin that has magnesium in it for a few years now, as it makes me very sick to my stomach. I have to avoid even vitamins that have just a small amount in it. So I've been getting my magnesium by soaking my feet in magnesium. I can also get it through food, as I have not had any issues with that. Would you happen to know if the magnesium issue could be more of a source issue as the vitamin d was?
Which vitamins would you recommend are the most beneficial for an70 year old who is overall healthy but needs to lose 20 lbs.
Does anyone know what causes muscle and slight bone pain in the upper body around chest area?
I don't remember which one but Dr. B goes over this in a posture video. He explains which vitamin to take to loosen the muscles in the chest area as they've contracted to a painful degree which causes people to hunch.
I take 45 000. It stopped my change of life symptoms completely in winter. In summer I'm outside for 1 to 2 hours and they haven't returned almost 59 now. I started when I was 52.
I just started taking 25,000-30,000 iu of vit D with 300 K2 and zinc and magnesium due to fibroid bleeding. It has helped tremendously. But I would like to get my levels checked can you recommend any testing?
@@patriotpirate2968Can they all be taken together because I also want to start taking them for fibroids too, I have a lot of them. Pls share the best time to take them. Thanks 🙏🏽
@nons958 i take the D, K2, zinc and 1 of the 3 magnesium capsules together and then the other two are night before bed. Total magnesium is 400mg but I think I should take a little more.
The celiac community really needs you to get a GF label on your supplements ❤️

I'm glad you enjoyed watching this video.
What is wrong with taking magnesium sulfate which is epsom salts .Is it a good source of magnesium?
Hello! Magnesium sulfate has strong laxative properties and can lead to significant gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and stomach cramps. Here is more information! 👉 ruclips.net/video/hIAsSAgTRb4/видео.html
0:50 50,000 - 250,000 IU/day
Right!!!
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
Damn, from 50.000 to 600 IU daily, now that's a reduction....!!! Merry Christmas everyone 🌲🌲🌲🌲....
I take 50k d3 daily. In capsules because that's easiest for absorption. Lower doses does nothing, this is what i need to be able to go out of the bed every day w/o feeling like a zombie with health problems.
I took magnesium glycynage and it made me feel terrible. I felt so depressed and lethargic, coupled by sudden fits of irritability and anxiety.
Dose? Capsule?
Are you taking with good amounts of Zinc and Vitamin from food or pills?
Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol which is Rat Poison right? Can you please make a video about that. Thanks 👀
Thank you, Dr Berg. You're a true blessing. Excellent video 💯
