The WORST Way To Take VITAMIN D
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- Most adults need 2,000 - 4,000 IU (50 - 100mcg) of Vitamin D3 on a daily basis...
Conventional medicine will often prescribe a mega dose of Vitamin D which is the absolute worst way to take Vitamin D since it can lead to Hypercalcemia affecting your bones, kidneys, and heart.
If you’re not maintaining a tan year round then it is quite likely that you are deficient in Vitamin D and I can’t recommend enough that you either test your levels or begin supplementing on a daily basis to maintain optimal levels year round.
You can find the Vitamin D3 supplement that I use at StephenCabral....
Enjoy!

NEW HERE?
Hi, I’m Stephen Cabral, Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and Integrative Health Practitioner.
For years I struggled with trying to figure out how to overcome multiple life-alternating illnesses such as auto-immune, Addisons, type 2 diabetes, digestive, allergies, insomnia, and debilitating fatigue.
Then I discovered a mentor who taught me how to combine and integrate multiple health practices into one. From there I tested these theories by traveling all around the world and discovering how to finally help people rebalance their bodies and live the life they always wanted.
I’m happy to say that after being shown the way and now creating my own proven protocols based on combining the best of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with state-of-the-art Functional Medicine my team and I have completed over 250,000 appointments helping people just like you and I.
If you’re interested in getting well, losing weight, or living longer stronger, I look forward to helping you to accomplish those goals. Be well and please always reach out if you have any questions or if my team and I can be of service!

He should of expanded this with another 30 seconds to say the best way to take it!!!!!
The idea is to sell his products, that’s why, I guess.
In the morning with food is ideal!
Also, and this should have been brought up, it needs to be with magnesium and vitamin k2. It requires both of these to be utilized properly.
@@105rogue I do take 5000 IU vitamin D plus 100mcg K2 in the morning daily with food, but never knew I had to take magnesium as well. What brand/type of magnesium do you use, and how much dosage?
@@nanapoku5259 I'm currently using Vitacost brand but Lucky Vitamin is also a good and affordable one. As far as kind, I usually use magnesium malate but there are several good ones. As long as it's chelated with something, you should be fine.
My vitamin D levels were 8 when I went to the doctor cause I was randomly bursting into tear several times a day. I was having 20-30 panic attacks a day and I had severe depression. It took me about 6 months of taking 20,000 ius a day of a D3+K2 lotion. I started out taking 5,000 and it did nothing cause I was so low. Then I bumped it up to 10,000 and eventually 20k before I saw real benefits. On days where I would have really bad depression I took 40k. It took me 6 months to get to my goal vitamin d level. As someone with an autoimmune disorder that's higher than normal people. I don't have any depression anymore. I do still have some anxiety but nothing in comparison to when I was deficient.
So for healthy individuals, 4,000 is good but for those with autoimmune disorders 4,000 would have little to no effect?
You need magnesium as well. The anxiety will go away.
@@VicToria-sd1dnwhat kind of magnesium though ? There’s different kinds
@@austinknowles7331 Magnesium: glycinate, gluconate, taurate, malate. These are costly though but are so worth it. By all means avoid magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide. You may also avoid magnesium oxide as it is of low quality and could be used as a laxative. It is a laxative. But it is the commonest you'll find lying on the shelves when you go to buy.
So glad you are better. I am having the same symptoms. You used a cream only?
After childbirth, I observed my hair fall but I remained calm. I acted to remedy it. I opted for a health-centered approach.
I took care of my nutrition, having nutrient-rich foods, especially those high in Folic Acid and Protein.
I exercised daily and practiced meditation for stress control.
I avoided tight hairstyles and quit using heated hair tools to minimise hair stress.
I also started applying LittleExttra's Coconion shampoo, hair oil combined with a wooden neem comb.
The result was hairfall control and the recovery of my hair.
Congratulations!
Postpartum hair loss happens because of hormonal changes, not because of lack of vitamins
Another advert!
@@malloryknox6802 True.
Either way, what she did really helped her.
Folic acid plays a crucial role in cell growth and metabolism though specifically addressing postpartum hair loss or hormonal changes is not its primary function. But, since it's essential for overall health and well-being, maintaining enough folic acid levels through diet or supplements can indirectly support hair health and overall hormonal balance.
Hormonal changes postpartum are complex and typically resolve as the body adjusts, but ensuring proper nutrition, including folic acid, can contribute to overall well-being during this time.
If you're low on Vit D, I'd start out at 10, 000 daily until your level is normal, and then cut back to 5,000 daily.
will it deplete magnesium
@@rossliu6359yes so it is a must to tale magnesssium as well.d3+magnessium glycinate+K2.this trio will help each other.
@@rossliu6359I always supplement with magnesium
How do you know your level is normal
@@1NeTruth blood tests
For some to get into a optimal range you my need a mega dose.
As for me 4000iu doesn't cut it for me. But 10000iu does get me in an optimal range. The moral of this story - different strokes for different folks!!
THIS is what’s so hard about doing natural herbs/vits on one’s own. Never knowing when to take it, how much to take, how often and when it’s too much. Thanks for this video. Please do more like this!! :)
Thank you for the comment! Will do
@@stephencabral Thanks!! :)
I agree, its like a big rabbithole of speculation and experimenting.
I’ve been D deficient all my life, as I have a sun allergy. I’ve always known about the sun allergy but only lately have found out how brutally low on D I’ve been. I’ve been taking 5,000 D3, 220 K2, and 400 magnesium daily and it’s life changing. I thought I had arthritis in all of my joints. NOPE. No longer any pain whatsoever since taking D.
I take my D in the morning and my K2 & magnesium at night. My sleep is 1,000 times better.
Thank you for sharing! Great work!
So we should always be taking D3 and K2 together?
Ideally this is best for absorption. If you are already taking the StephenCabral.com/DNS multivitamin, then you will be fine taking the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D alone in the morning.
From my understanding, d3 without k2 causes calcification of the arteries
@@714rooster me too, been told that by many professionals
@@714rooster I dont think it causes calcification I think it just wont work on decalcifying your arteries unless they are taken together, let me know different if I am wrong
Precisely!⚖️
Conventional medicine does not suggest taking a megadose of vitamin d a couple times a week. The general consensus suggests 2,000 IU once a day.
Which is still ridiculously low since a day in the sunshine in summer gives you 20,000 to 30,000 IU, why on earth would one want to limit the dose to 2,000 daily?
I know the FDA only allows for recommending maximum 2,000 IU daily and doctors are afraid to lose their license. The FDA is 80% funded by Big Pharma that profits from as many people being ill as possible, so that perfectly explains it.
I've been taking 5000IU daily for 9 months now and got my blood level 25(OH)D3 to 80 mcg/l. Dr Boz chooses for herself a level north of 100 mcg/l (= 250 mmol/l)
So I increased to 10,000 IU daily now and aim for 100 mcg/l.
Many experts advice 80 to 100 mcg/l as an optimal blood level.
Avoid any calcium supplement because the vitamin D will make you absorb calcium like crazy, which is good, but too high blood level calcium is harmful and very dangerous. So I will have my calcium level checked as well as my vitamin D level just to be shure. At 100 mcg/l too high calcium levels are not usually reported but calcium supplements would be useless and possibly harmful.
Until recently doctors prescribed calcium instead of vitamin D to elderly women to avoid osteo porosis. Clearly this was a very bad practice which often is still being applied. Watch out with your doctor. Mine told me to decrease my D level, he has no idea about current knowledge regarding this subject because it is completely ignored in medical school thanks to the influence of the criminal Big Pharma lobby.
That's if You are healthy. Northern hemisphere needs more than 2000 a day, more if You're deficient.
@@monetarnie3841I’m not making personal claims on what the best dose is, I’m contradicting his claim that conventional medicine pushes megadoses of vitamin D. It categorically does not, it typically suggests 2k a day. I personally take more, for the exact reasons you mentioned.
If one usually stays home and never gets enough sunlight, one should be out in the sun at 10:00 am to get natural Vit D for 20 or 30 minutes or take a higher dose of Vit D3 5k with K2
I take mine with K2 and Magnesium along with 40 to 50 thousand IUs daily. Helps my Hashimoto and PCOS. I just started on NMN and Resveratrol. I need extra help tho cuz I have an autoimmune disease and my vitamin D was low. I follow David Sinclair, Dr. Berg, Jason Fung, and Joel Gould he is a huge advocate of Vitamin D.
That's fantastic. Sounds like you're doing it the right way
Hey bro I'm low. On vitamin d as well and just got diagnosed with an auto immune disease. Haven't found out what disease it. Is but results came positive. How u been feeling with those supplements and may I ask what supplements u are taking?
@@jesusmalverde612how are you doing now bro?
@@AironNoriaLong I was doing well but I relapsed with alcohol and my histamine intolerance symptoms came back. I was exercising well. Drinking the paloe carnivore protein drink every morning and cut off gluten. Felt much better but I feel like by drinking I just set myself back big time.
Makes me laugh when I hear the phrase 'Just get out in the sun'. Yeah, sure. I live in the North of England. In winter, we get maybe a bit of sun for half a day every 1-2 weeks if we're lucky.
Agreed
I have sun sensitivity so have been told to avoid any sun. I take 1000 ius daily
with K2. GP told me to take the D. No Problems.
You can get vitamin D from the clouds
Are you of native English descendant? If so your skin should be evolved to get vitamin d even on a cloudy day . That's the whole reason northern Europeans evolved lighter skin in the first place
Move to Costa Rica
I would say that getting a lot of sunshine some days and nothing other days (raining or winter x example) it's MORE NORMAL
Normal weather, yes. What's not normal is for vitamin D levels to be below ideal range.
q
I heard 10,000 is safe to take. Where is your research that says you can’t. I watched another doctor who researched Vitamin D3 with much higher doses and there were absolutely no side effects or problems.
Yep. This doofus is out to lunch.
He has none. It is totally fine to take over 10k IUs
@@legendofdawn213 I’m taking 15,000ius. My level was 24. I’ll recheck in July
I take 1 capsule (50,000iu) once a week, I try to have blood level 80 to 100 (closest to 100 😃) along with Vitamin K2. Two Doctors that I follow recommend this rage.
@@PeraltaMJose I was taking 10,000 a day and my number went over 100 so I cut it down to 5000 plus my K2.
Keep in mind people with auto immune diseases need to take way more than most adults
We have worked with many autoimmune clients in my practice and all of them do much better when addressing the cofactors at lower Vitamin D dosage. I discuss these is podcast stephencabral.com/podcast/2083/ ⭐️
The Book, EMBRACE THE SUN, by Sorenson, is one of the best and most researched book on the benefits of sunlight. Vitamin D and Solar Power is one of the most comprehensive books on D3.
Thanks for the rec!
Hey, you are not saying that K2 needs to be taken with it, otherwise Vit D could cause calcification of the arteries
I didn't know d3 without k2 makes a really good problem
Agree? Why do people ways leave this fact out? Dangerous to not talk about the importance of taking K2 (Mk7) and magnesium with D3.
@@barbarachristensen1111is Phytonadione-(vitamin k1) good too?
.,,.,, ……. May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me.
Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this?
Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the following Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey?
1. Thou shalt not have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make or bow down to gpl raven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
10. Thou shalt not covet.
Answer_________________
The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses.
This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward.
God may allow the people that rules this world to enforce some type of Sabbath law to test people to see if they will keep His law or no.
Already, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books today.
Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars.
The true Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. So, do your research on what you have read in this letter.
This information is helpful both now and future because we need to get back to God’s ways and if God should allow man to enforce a “Sabbath Test.” If such a test is allowed, may we choose wisely.
Let us seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc.
Let us seek God, read our bibles, memorize His commandments and do them, For God’s Kingdom is coming!! Repent! Repent! Repent!
Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end!
If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14.
Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” I look
At trytry and yidolatry and according to Jewish writings, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Education.” and it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth.
May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
@@sswavo nope…has to be K2
I take 10 000 IU's per kilogram of body weight a day with a fatty breakfast that allows for easier assimilation of vit D3. And I never miss my vit K2!
What ? Around 70000 IU a day?!
That's far too much and may be a health hazard! 😱 Please see your doctor urgently and discuss this with them ...
@@muddi-hh nope! You can't OD on it. I already checked with my doctor.
@@cherrycola3653 😂 well maybe after 6 months she’ll get a crease in her ear and heart failure.
How do you get your Vitamin K2? Is it a supplement?
Yeah Doctor prescribed me with 50,000 IU weekly dose. My vitamin D levels were 18.9 deficient
I definitely recommend listening to episode StephenCabral.com/2083
Not true. High doses of Vitamin D help folks with autoimmune disease and low Vitamin D levels
Yes, I believe that is absolutely correct, we need a steady dose throughout the day, for sure in the northern winters!!
👏
@@stephencabralbro 4000? My supplement only had 1000? Do i tske 4 of them each day then ?
I heard that as long as you rise with the sun and be outside when it sets. And maybe a little bit in the day. That’s all you need. To get AM light into your eyes
It is a great way to ensure exposure, no doubt about it. Unfortunately some people need more.
The best is at 10:00 in the morning
Thats way too much. I take 2k. My doc just needed my levels back up. I was very liw at one point. My vit D is within range now
Nah
Every time I take vitamin d I get dreadful stomach issues. A month on a high dose with k2 caused me to get an intestinal obstruction.
I recommend between 4-5000IU with a meal that consists of a healthy fat.
So how much IU’s does the body makes with sun exposure? When we you know the answer to that…then you can decide if what he is saying makes sense.
I read a study that measured whole body sun irradiation, the body was making 10,000 iu of Vit D every 15 minutes
But if someone is autoimmune with Hashimoto’s or any other autoimmune shouldn’t someone take 50,000 or more?
Having an AI diagnosis does not change the dose or duration, only the deficiency needs to be addressed and most adults do much better with 5000IU per day or up to 10K for a very short period.
You are totally wrong you should be more informed about vitamin D3 before you say such things
Just exactly what are you trying to say .....
Some people take very large doses of vitamin D instead of daily supplementation at the right amount
I had to listen to this three times to realize he didn't tell us the way nature paths would give it to us. He forgot the most important part.
HOW are those VERY LOW in vitamin D supposed to keep their D level HIGH when it's always in deficit?
Please listen to podcast stephencabral.com/podcast/2083/ on the missing cofactors of Vitamin D.
@@stephencabralwhat about a missing gallbladder or gallbladder problems and vitamin D3 pills...are there dangers? Too much calcium with only 2000ius twice a week?
My genetic mutation causes my Vitamin D to be in the bottom of the bucket. Before I moved out of state my functional medicine doctor used to give me shots weekly of high dose Vitamin D ontop of the 10,000 IU of D3 I was taking daily! I was a sun goddess my whole life and that did nothing for my D levels! I'm 52 and now have a lot of skin damage from sun exposure. My doctor also advised me Not to take K2 or calcium.
You must be brown and thin like paper?
So what ended up helping you?
Getting more sun or supplements or something else ? I also struggle badly with vitamin d absorption. Supplements cause me side effects
Is tanning the best way?
@shelly7017
How did you find out you have a genetic mutation that blocks vitamin D absorption?
@@LindaHutchings you can do an ancestry dna test then plug your raw data from that to a site called genetic genie and it will tell you if you have any mutations
They did studies where an erratic dose rather than a consistent one made the body absorb and make use of more. Also it doest matter what happens in nature. Even there you crave sugar etc
👍
How much is ideal for a kid and how much for teenagers?
35IU per pound of bodyweight is the best way to determine servings without lab testing. I also recommend the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D

Change your eating habits
As i jist picked up my prescription from the pharmacy today os 50,000mg to take 1x a week 😳
My vitamin D level was 11 🤦🏾♀️
Definitely not the dose I recommend, but consider testing levels in 8wks and moving toward a maintenance dose.
@@stephencabral thank you. I looked at it last night and it's only 4 pills with 4 refills. I've been suffering really bad with fatigue (which I'm normally iron deficit but those levels were surprisingly normal. Shocked me actual.) And also my blood sugar levels were low especially for the time of day it was when the lab was done. I've NEVER had blood sugar issues. I'm 36 so all of this surprised me
@@unpredictable244please listen to your doctor in this case. 11 is critically low and you need that megadose weekly for the time being . It’s not forever

Your diet must be terrible. My D level is higher and I take 5,000 IU a day. What do you eat and drink?
I’m on 10kiu D3 + 600mcg MK7 + 2000mg Mag glycinate… the biggest issue is getting required potassium level - I don’t get anywhere near what I should be, that’s on me (diet discipline). I’m 47, 5’10, around 87kgs (190lbs). I tend to take more of each depending on how I’m feeling in terms of energy levels but generally around this dose ration between the 3. I put pink sea salt in my drinking water.
Sounds good.
I'm looking for a good brand of D3 and mk7. I already have the magnesium glycinate
Seems a bit high which is not great.
Good to know, I take 2 pills a day which are 4,000 IU, but last blood test was still only 36 ng of D in blood, I researched optimum levels for adult males can be high as 90

And let’s not forget that even if you live in a sunny or tropical region, if you’re a sugar addict that depletes a lot of your vitamin D.

Refined sugar not natural
Most people including those that live in the tropical are deficient in Vitamin D , because they don’t get enough sun or don’t supplement with Vitamin D
@@Robertking1996your body dosen't know the difference
Wow makes sense 😩
So what you are trying to say is that i shouldn't take 16,000 weekly? Is wrong right?
For most adults I recommend 4-5000IU per day with breakfast which is 28-35000IU per week.
@@stephencabral thank you,, is there a difference between IU and IEs?mine is written in IEs,doc recommended 40 drop per week,and 1drop is equivalent to 400IE
But since the body can store vitamin D, why cant an appropriate dose a week be taken? I mean what is wrong with that?
That depends on what you define an appropriate dose.
@@stephencabral 60,000 IUs as the doctors suggest. Or it could be anything that is recommended. But really my question was about taking it once a week vs taking it every day. Like you I also believe taking it everyday sounds better, but I was just trying to get a good reason for that thinking especially to argue it with my doc who rejected my idea of taking it everyday 😀
I just recently learned my right kidney isn’t functioning properly. My left one however is fine & doing it’s job. I started taking vit D 3?but read it’s not good if you have a bad kidney?
Unfortunately I cannot give medical advice here. 🙏

I recommend 4000-5000IU in the morning with breakfast that includes a healthy fat. ⭐️
Yeah, my Dr. of 22 yrs prescribed me 50,000U 1@wk.
He just went to teaching the new interns at his Clinic.

@@stephencabralplease give me a healthy brand for D3 & K2 pharmacy brands are so bad at cvs & walgreens so many added chemicals need something that works I have a vitamin D deficiency at one point my doctor had me on 75,000 units one time a week for eight weeks and now it’s back low and I’m starting to feel the effect of it weak nails weak legs sore body
I live in Sweden and today was the first day in about a week or longer since we have sun. It's only at a uvi 2.
So even if II could go out everyday, it's usually raining and cloudy in our spring and summer months.
If your of Scandinavian descent it shouldn't matter, your skin would be evolved for those types of conditions. the whole reason northern Europeans evolved lighter skin was specifically to absorb more vitamin d with less sunlight
Doctor I respect your opinion but if someone vitamin D3 level is a 20 like mine was you would have to take the $50,000 units to make it normal or else you would play catch up 4,000 is not going to move them numbers is just going to stabilize it once you take the 50,000 units for 8 weeks it should increase the vitamin d level to 70 but then again that may be too high but your body lose vitamin D3 every month
I've seen thousands and thousands of labs and retesting and have never once found it necessary to take this many units to improve numbers. More over, the type of D, how it is taken and the cofactors are far more significant.
@@stephencabral - Hello and Thank-you for this post on D. My D level was also 20 and the Dr said take 2,000 a day which is nothing. I raised it to 4,000 a day and last week to 6,000 a day. For someone like me and Jacqueline what would you say is sufficient for our insufficiency?
Thank-you for any help you can offer. I appreciate your time.

@stephencabral My mom's doctor wants her to take 50000 iu should I instead opt for 10000 5 times a week? Or 2 times a week? And see how she feels? They feel that this dosage is necessary but I'm getting conflicting information, her vitamin D is very low.
Make this video as naturally as possible
Doesn't vit k2 increase prothrombin? And that's not so good right?
Vitamin K2 is indeed involved in the regulation of blood clotting by helping in the activation of proteins that control clotting, such as prothrombin. However, its effect on increasing prothrombin is not a blanket statement and is typically influenced by factors like dosage and duration of use, as well as individual health conditions. For most people, normal dietary intake or standard supplementation doses of vitamin K2 are unlikely to cause significant changes in clotting unless there are specific medical conditions or other medications involved.
@@stephencabral Thanks a lot for your quick response!🙏🏻
What’s the best brand that you recommend?
You can find the product I recommend at StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1
My doctor had me on high dose once a week for over a year and I am still deficient
Damn
This is why cofactors are so important I discuss them in episode StephenCabral.com/2083
Some people don’t get sun everyday. Isn’t that the same as not taking vitamin D every day?
Yes, most people are Vitamin D deficient for that reason. That's why most people take 4,000 IUs per day of a vitamin D supplement
Do you have any scientific proof to tell you this???
2017 I had a growth in the middle of my left hand It just kept growing my insurance company switched my doctors I went to cano health clinic I had lab work done my results came in for my vitamin D3 and it was 20 the doctor I seen at the facility Dr Dara she prescribed me vitamin D2 which is plant-based for 8 weeks about I must say four weeks that growth disappeared it brought my vitamin d level to 68.8 in 8 weeks 50,000 units
my doctor just prescribed massive 10,000 units x5 per day for 8 weeks.

What most of my clients do is 4,000 IU per day with our liquid vitamin D3 at StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1 but if you're low then you can up the dose for a period of time until you retest your levels.
Is k2 and magnesium needed? Or just the vitamin d?
Dr. John campbell recently broke down a study that would counter your hypothesis. Can you counter ?
I was on 75,000 once week for 8 weeks
and what was the results
Why do doctors prescribe 50000 once a week then? It seems my 5000 iu a day is taking too long I’m currently at a level 18 thanks in advance
Please listen to episode stephencabral.com/podcast/2083/ on the important cofactors for absorption.
But doesnt the body store vitamin D3 and absorb it slowly? So a large dose taken at the beginning of the week can be absorbed over the course of the week?
Unfortunately that is not how our bodies work nor how nature intended it to be.
@@stephencabralnoted, thanks doc.
Can vitamin K2 ve taken with garlic?
What exactly does K2 to our blood?
Sure it can. K2 is responsible for bone, dental and cardiovascular health. It also helps with blood clotting and cancer protection.
Thank you for sharing this information 😊
My pleasure 😊
My gp just prescribed 50,000 UL of Vit D as I'm super deficient I've been told to take this once a week for 8 weeks Now I'm lost and confused
I was taking D3 2000 IU daily only and 2 months later it raised my level in blood from 15 ng/ml to 41 ng/ml. When i increased to 5000 IU, it made me terrible sick: chest pain, insomnia, dizziness, excessive sweating, dry mouth, throat pain and swallowing difficulty, sometimes painful headache. I stopped taking it but the symptoms last for about 6 weeks. What went wrong ? Am I exception and don't need more than 2000 IU ?
How long does Vitamin D (fat soluble) stay in the body?
Vitamin D can be stored for extended periods up to several months and resides mostly in adipose tissue and the liver.
I have vitamin d problem I was going to ask how strong ones should I take I was told to take 5000mg ones so tired all the time and my joints are so painful
I recommend between 4000-5000IU of the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1
Soooo how do i take it? My dr prescribed me 50,000 a week
I recommend 5000IU per day for most adults.
If 30 min in sun makes 20k iu. Then how 5k is enough?
This is based on 20+ yrs of clinical experience and case studies.
Vitamin D is fat soluble, so I don't see that it matters when I take 60,000iu once a week. In Africa people spend entire days, every day out in the sun working on their farms....I'm sure they get loads of vitamin D a day. Nothing happens to them.
Their skin is thicker and does not allow the sunrays to get through completely (the melanin in their skin blocks it). Most dark-skinned people - including my Nigerian husband - suffer from a lack of Vitamin D when they live in Europe for a longer time, as the sun up here is not strong enough to supply the required amount ...
I don't work on farms everyday. I work in an office and rarely see the sun.
I’m curious how I’d go about doing it if I alternate day fast?
I recommend the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1 which includes MCTs for proper absorption on fasting days.
For 5000IU of vitamin D, how much vitamin K2 (Mk7) should I take 50mcg or 100mcg?
K2 is not essential with vitamin D, but if you plan to take simultaniously I would use the same amount of k2 in the StephenCabral.com/DNS-1 multivitamin.
@stephencabral so why does everyone say you should take D3 with k2 so calcium doesn't stay in the blood?
And WHAT is the amount of Vit D3 that most resembles nature, and can be absorbed easily, 2,000 mg at a time.. maybe twice a day?
I recommend 4,000 IU per day for most adults
Internet is so misleading, some say you only need 600 to 800 iu a day, some say 1000 to 2000 iu and you say 4000 iu a day 🤔
I have been running a clinical practice with initial and follow up lab testing for 20yrs. I hope that helps! ;)
IM there with you buddy!
People criticize wikipedia but *THIS* is the perfect situation where you check it because it´s *FACTUAL* information that's not misleading by everyone´s opinions and is linked to the source. Never trust blindly *SPECIALLY* these shameless snakeoil Salesmen.
which k2 is best for bone density MK4 or MK7?
How can I take vitamin D while fasting? Since it should be taken with food
There is already a medium chained triglyceride with the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D so food is not necessary, although it helps promote further absorption.
Also K2 and magnesium cause the vitamin d 3 will drain down on our magnesium stores
Yes, there are very important cofactors to consider when supplementing vitamin D
I didn't understand this? Vitamin D3 and K2 deplete magnesium? Is this what you are saying?
This episode will answer your question: stephencabral.com/podcast/2083/
Is that why it makes me feel sick when I’ve tried 10,000iu d3 w/k2? I bet my body can’t handle that much at a time!
It is very possible, yes.
If we need it what is the right way and dose to use vitamin D
I recommend 4000-5000 of the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1 daily.
Sir which tablet we ahould use for taking zinc and vit d plzzzz i have receding hairline problem
You can find them here: StephenCabral.com/Zinc-1, StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1
Can i take vitamin D3 with whey protein or milk?
I recommend taking the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1 with breakfast, ideally with a healthy fat.
I wonder if this is still correct for all skin colors
It absolutely is.
Yeah right
I started taking 5,000 every day and every bone in my body started to hurt like crazy. I take one cap every two weeks. Working best. But every person is different, they can take it every day😊
because Vitamin D depletes magnesium which is needed for bones density. If you take too much vitamin D without having sufficient magnesium levels, you're putting yourself in a very uncomfortable situation...
@@louis9939oh cool so vitamin d won't work without magnesium. Noted it. Thanks.
@@AironNoriaLongfalse
@@terrorteffa pls share your knowledge, also is 5ug daily enough?
@@AironNoriaLong vitamin D works without magnesium. It would be a good idea to supplement magnesium glycinate whether you take vitamin D or not as most people are already low in most nutrients
Stephen, can I take my D3 5000 IU with vitamin K or does it need to specifically K2?
K2 is the preferred form of vitamin K! Check out this episode: stephencabral.com/podcast/2083/
@@stephencabral Thank you :)
I was prescribed 50,000 units per week due to low vitamin d and high alkaline phosphatase which is 300. Should I take it? I can't go out in the sun due to a skin condition. They gave me that high dosage because that's what I need to get it back to normal. I rather take it once a week. I only take vitamin D2 because it's vegan. What if I take it once every other week? I also noticed every time I take it, it makes my already chronic constipation condition even worse. I have pelvic floor dyssynergia which is chronic constipation. This is why I never last that long taking vitamin D. The most I lasted in the past 10 years is only 3 weeks in a row then I completely stopped for years.
I just bought a Vit D3 + K2 supplement. On the package it says. "take 1 tablett every 5 days", 5000 IE ... so, I actually would need to take this supplement every day, despite what the package says?
It's best to check with your provider for any contraindications first. I generally recommend between 4000-5000IUY for most adults, yes, and you can test your levels to see if what you are taking is working. StephenCabral.com/D-Test-1
What if MD prescribed 50,000 iu medication to be taken once a week for hair loss?
I wrote a comprehensive article on hair loss here: stephencabral.com/hair-loss
No... I get it once a week. If I follow to take one supplement everyday, I get crazy thirsty.
What about injections? Are they safe?
My doctor gave me a single dose of 200,000 iu of vitamin d3 once a month is it ok?
PS: i have hairloss problem
My vitamin D level is 12.60. I was prescribed 50,000 iu once a week for 8 weeks
This video doesn't mention that Vitamin D is fat soluble, and stored in the body. I'd suggest relying on your lab tests after dosing.
I have genetic and auto immune issues with vitamin d. And gallbladder digestion issues which make supplements not work or gives me bad side effects
Would a uv b lamp mimicking the sun be best for me?
Absolutely and I provide my lamp recommendation at StephenCabral.com/resources
Can we take 1200gms calcium and 600mg magnesium with vitamins d3 4000iu daily
Wouldn't once per week dosages have a different mode of absorption/delayed, to facilitate the nature process?
This is actually the opposite way of how nature intended. We primarily get our vitamin D from the sun on a daily basis. If the sun only rose once per week then that would be more similar to the way nature intended.
I do once a day, 8-10000 IU. I might reduce it.
🙌
Had Gastric Bypass, and severe Osteoporosis should I take more? ty
The best thing to do would be to test your vitamin D levels right from home at StephenCabral.com/D-Test-1
I take 5000iu per day, my vit d level is 97ng/ml.
I thought 100 is toxic already
@@user-nt7ri8cl5p not true, the Mayo clinic did a meta study concluded there is no toxicity with levels under 200ng/ml and 10,000 units per day
My doctor gave me 50,000 of v d3 once a week and it gave me anxiety so bad I had to go to the hospital because I couldn't breathe and the hospital told me it's all in my head so I tried it again same thing 😢
I'm sorry to hear that!
Is that even possible Dr ?
When your in the Sun your body produces way way more than 4,000. Megadosing D3 supplements does no harm from literature even when the UK have grey skies most of the time. Your always gonna have low IU in Northern cold countries.
What about the vitamin drip such as B-12. Do you recommend those?
I share my thoughts in podcast stephencabral.com/podcast/1290/
I got prescribed D3 and the bottle said once weekly I was confused bc how is my body supposed to just distribute it out though out the week? But even that I thought whatever is excessive the body eliminates via urine
Supplement manufacture recommendations are not typically always therapeutic dosages due to liability issues and the lack of clinical expertise. I recommend 4000-5000IU of the StephenCabral.com/Vitamin-D-1 for most adults.
I take daily 10,000 IU and 300 mg K2.
And me. Living in My this time of year I get barely enough sun.
