This video frequently jumps back and forth between Vitamin D and Magnesium, which makes it hard to follow...and this is done AFTER the point where it says, "Today we're going to be discussing Vitamin D." This should be 2 separate videos, one for Vitamin D, and one for Magnesium.
It would be funny, if not so serious, that all videos on nutrition recommend that you talk to your doctor before supplementing. Any doctor I’ve ever encountered in a very long life knows less about vitamins and minerals than ... my dog.
Totally agree and they always go for prescribing drugs instead of looking a vitamins first! I was having hip pain after a previous lumbar injury Everytime I sat resting (reclining) when I got up I could barely weight bear for the first few steps. This went on for months and months... got prescribed piroxicam, tramadol, NSaid of other types, physio, exercise physio, prolotherapy for hip bursar and lumbar issues...on and on... I did a little research and saw marginally low vit D can cause hip pain. Took Vit D + K2 and Magnesium + calcium + vit D, and the hip pain was gone next day... Went from almost crippled the night before to fine next day! Can't believe the mucking around and expense going through doctors to find this worked!
Amen! They have absolutely no idea what they are doing in that area because they are only taught how to pill dispense pharmaceuticals. I always consult a naturopathic practitioner. It is appalling how they are not taught basic nutritional needs of which is biological system works and therefore has health issues ensuing from. The system needs an overhaul and depart from being owned by these profit companies.
@@Achala148 👏👏👏 Good for you for solving your own health issues. You’re lucky to have escaped the surgeon’s scalpel which was probably next on their list.
I started taking 200 mg magnesium glycinate about two months ago because I had read that it helped with muscle spasms and cramps.These cramps were daily and severe enough to often wake me in the night. I have not had a leg or foot cramp in over 2 weeks. Such a relief!
That's great to hear ,I'm so glad it helped you very much! I just got put on vitamins, a long time ago I had gastric bypass bypass surgery, ( weight loss - stomach stapling ) 10 years later from my original surgery date ,I had a bowel obstruction ,keep in mind after my surgery I was supposed to be taking vitamins, not until a few weeks ago I finally starting taking vitamins, and the only reason why is my bloodwork came back very low ,and my daughter just had her weight loss surgery and she told me I'm supposed to be taking vitamins this whole time and boy did I mess up by not listening to my dr ,I ASSUMED that I was fine because I wasn't loosing any hair ,I was so wrong and my body has paid a huge price for this ,and I'm one that doesn't like to be taking to many meds ,I don't take pain meds ,when I could go to a pain clinic ,I told my dr no ,but guess who called me to set up an appointment for pain ,yes u guessed it ,the pain clinic ,I told them that I didn't want to make an appointment, & that is what I told my primary care provider, talk about pushing drugs ,I'm not retaining any strength 💪, dizzy ,seeing black tiny dots ,not the ones a person sees out of the corner of there eyes ,I have swollen legs ,and a few serious health issues I just found out ,I had my lungs looked at to see if I had cancer ,well no cancer yet ,but they found nodules in both of my lungs and I have emphysema 😢I'm terrified, and I have PTSD major panic attacks anxiety, fibromyalgia, arthritis ,Carole tunnel in both hands all the way up my arms ,I am a mess ,I'll be turning 54yrs old on 9/18 ,I walk hunched over, like my grammy did in her 80's ,God rest her soul ,I am sorry 🙏 I wasn't going to list everything wrong with my body ,I'll stop ,but I would like to warn everyone ,please take care of your body ,all my life I had jobs that were hard and physical, I changed my career in my 30's and became a animal groomer, no stairs to walk the dogs up ,the tub that the dogs used was up to my chest ,and I had to pick up the dog abd step up onto a 3 inch platform and life the dog above my chest while on my tipple toes ,foolishness!!! I was to shy to ask for help lifting up 100 pound dogs ,I still could kick myself for all the damage I've caused to my body. Prayers for everyone on here and please be aware of your surroundings at allllllllll times..our world is very dangerous...best of luck to u all .
K2 should be added when supplementing vitamin D. Very important for absorption and pulling calcium into the skeletal system instead of the bloodstream.
K2 will honestly help nothing. I was treating a vitamin D deficiency under my doctor's supervision taking 3000iu vitamin D, 100mcg K2 mk7, and 400mg magnesium. I ended up overdosing on Vitamin D causing my calcium levels to go to dangerous levels. Some people don't even show symptoms of high calcium until the damage is done.
This was happening to me. My vitamin D and B12 were almost depleted. So, my diagnoses were pre diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety, increased joint/bone pain. I have a bad back and neck, but never caused me too much pain and discomfort as I was suffering in 2021 at 66 years old. I though it was the result of getting old. I am doing a lot better now with my D in the 80, diet, exercise, no pre diabetic anymore. I will have another bone scan this year, but overall I am feeling great with my life style changes without prescribed medications. My dr did not even told me to supplement; she just wanted to prescribe me all these medications right away and send me on my way. However, I am an RN, and I know what I needed to do before swallowing prescription meds. So far so good!
@@ll0074 I know it is a bone density scan. After all, I am also an RN. I just wanted to save some words. Most people will understand. Thanks anyway for taking the time to add the missing word.
@Crystal Masters yep, they're useless these days. My doctor is like a drive thru. He'll prescribed just about anything but will not take the time to work on core issues. I'm on my own
I resigned being a nurse. Allopathic medicine is based on pharmaceuticals and corrupt as hell! We are powerful and magnificently made by God, we don't need their petroleum-based pharmaceuticals and can heal ourselves!!!
That magnesium spray is really wonderful...I live in South Africa and I am 72years young I use Miracle magnesium inflammation spray...I use to get arthritis in my wrists 9years ago..spray magnesium and never had any problems...I use The said product for many things....By the grace of God I'm in great health...
God is good! I was diagnosed with RA when I was 12. They said I'd be wheechair bound by the age of 35. I am 41 and feel better than I ever had! Not by doctors and medications and drugs but through FAITH in what God put on this earth for our useage. Things like magnesium, Vitamin D, fish oil, fruit, vegetables, and prayer I have overcome things that are debilitating to most people. God bless you Miss Catharine!
I also live in SA . BENONI. Where do you buy the spray? I have MS and I'm 54 . I live with chronic pain and it's getting to a state where I'm questioning if I should still be here.
At age 65 I went to my GP doctor saying that I hurt all over. He ordered blood work. Vitamin D level was 29. GP said he didn't see anything bad in the blood work. As I was leaving, his nurse says to me...."your vitamin D is on the low end....try taking some supplements." So....don't count on your GP for good health info. We all need to be our own advocates. I found an osteopathic practitioner that has been my best source of good health practice info.
My Vit.D was 32 considered to be in the "normal range" of 30 - 100.....My doctor said it is in the normal range but "low normal" & said it is better to be on the higher level of 30 to 100.... I started taking 5000 units and it rose to 43, kept taking 5000 and it went to 53.....I have stomach issues but no joint issues at 66+ years old......The Vit.D3 level takes time to increase but still needs to be monitered.
@@ithacacomments4811 I was gonna say your story sounded a bit suspect when you said you went to your GP doctor. However 7 or so years ago that was still a thing.
I started having pains in my hands a few months ago and it got worse and worse. I've been taking vitamin D3 10-20k IU everyday for the past couple weeks and for the most part the pain is pretty much gone ( for now) with a multivitamin about 30 mins after eating a high fat meal. I've noticed a great improvement in sleep, mood, have not had a depressing thought since, and my energy is thru the roof. I wake up and can't stop smiling cuz I'm just always in a good mood
That's great but that's a lot of vitamin D to be taking without vitamin K2. Without it you can develop osteoporosis or other calcium related problems. Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D and puts the calcium into your bones. For every 10K of D, you need 100 mcg of Vitamin K.
Epsom salts is a low quality way to supplement magnesium. It shouldn’t be what you use exclusively. You are amusing…you say the company line, check with your doctor…but most doctors know very little about supplements. I know this from my experience of 30 years as an RN, and a patient who had to research this myself. No, no, no to D2.
There are so many things wrong with this video. Vitamin K2 is NOT the same thing as vitamin K. K2 is what you need to use with D3, vitamin K is given when the blood is to thin to help prevent bleeds…please no not equate the 2. I am concerned people will go out and supplement with D2, and vitamin K because of your false information.
If you take vitamin D, it's important to also take vitamin K, because it helps calcium go where it's suppose to,which of course is your bones. Unfortunately, I wasn't told this by doctors, that prescribed a prescription vitamin D, 50,000 IU every other day, due to my D being low on my lab tests. I learned on my own that taking D without K, causes calcium to go other places in your body, causing calcium deposits, it can attach to the outside of your bones, like bone Spurs and in your arteries, and other places it shouldn't be. You should not take K if you are a blood thinner. I have been taking a lower dose of D now that it's in normal range. I have a question, is there a way to dissolve and remove calcium deposits in your body where it doesn't belong and get it in your bones?
I had my blood levels checked recently an got a print of the results. I am in Norway and the paper stated normal level of D3 is between 50 ng/ML and 150 ng/ML. I had 156 ng/ML after taking 6400 UI daily for 4 years. I also take Mg and K2/MK7. My doctor said all my levels are perfect. I am 62 years young....
I like "62 years young" becauce I am even older than you, 67 and now I waiting for answer on my levels. Greatings from Jessheim (a small town between Oslo airport and Oslo.)
There’s a lot of variability from person to person with how much vitamin D to take. I got my blood tested about 8 times over the course of 3 years, while slowly increasing my vitamin intake, to figure out that 20,000 IU per day keeps my level at around 60-70. When I was taking 5,000 my level was about 20. So I definitely recommend taking those blood tests instead of just taking what the back of the bottle says or taking what works for other people.
almost virtually identical stories... 20,000 IU daily for me to have a prayer at being in the normal to high normal range (50-70). Started at 5000 a day and was still deficient, the recommendations in this video are bogus -- check the bloods and titrate up as needed.
How long would you be waiting for a new dosage to settle out before taking a test? I'm asking because the tests can be a bit expensive so I don't want to have one too often.
@@PercyJackson93 It depends how fast you wanna correct your levels lol. But in general before you start taking it you make a test, then 4/6 weeks later make another - and see how much it changed. If you take high doses like 10 000 a day - after 3 weeks is better. And check your calcium/magnesium levels at the same times. Coz thats the main possible problem with taking too much vit D - high calcium and low magnesium levels. And those are no joke.
@@alexforce9 it begins increasing more slowly over time. But it takes a year to level out. Might see video “vitamin d doses” by dr john campbell if interested
Absolutely, tests are essential. We took 3 over about 18 months. First towards the end of Winter, to get a lowest baseline (I was already on 3000IU), then took 6000 IU and retested mid Summer. Finally bumped up to 10,000 IU, and at the end of following mid Spring was finally happy with 75ng/mL. Also take K2, Mag and Zinc. There are too many factors inhibiting absorption of D not to get tested imo. Having said that, if tests are too expensive in your country/area, or you don’t want to wait, I don’t think 4000IU a day of D3 would be a problem for anyone, and would only lead to a massively improved health for the general population.
Great information to start with. Unfortunately most doctors, mine included, DO NOT want to talk about nutritional deficiencies or anything we’ve learned in the Internet. I was diagnosed through endoscopy with esophagitis, gastritis, and duodenitis after years of symptoms and then sent to an allergist. Turns out I’m only mildly allergic to dairy. The allergist recommended I give up gluten, and it’s been life changing. Gluten was driving up my blood sugar and blood pressure in addition to creating sinusitis and bloated tissues. It was also at the heart of the gastritis. The gastritis was causing poor nutrient absorption and consequently I had very low Vitamin B and Magnesium levels. Some articles say that chronic gastritis is the primary cause of low Magnesium. I’ve been supplementing for year and 25 different symptoms of gluten sensitivity and low Vit B and Magnesium levels are virtually gone. This topic needs MUCH more attention in the medical community!

Hello Kathleen, thank you for your information here. I've had no success with doctors either for years. The only one I put trust in sadly retired now was from India. He was very happy to hear that I had taken charcoal for a severe case of diarrhoea. He laughed, and asked how did I know to use it, because it's the best thing to do. He was always ready to listen and help without pushing medications. Alas those doctors seem to be none existence now. Recently I had a problem with my heart due to a great deal of stress and anxiety. I was sent to the cardiac centre,the specialist asked me did I have chest pain. Yes was all I was allowed to say!! He sat looking at information on the computer, then asked my daughter whom I had asked to take me there "how often do you see her"? Every week was her reply. Wrong!! Next question was have you seen any change in her. No was the reply. I hadn't seen my daughter for a few months until my sister came to stay for a week.I then was not able to move around the house, but did manage to stand up to get dinner ready my daughter recalled seeing this after we left the heart specialist.!! The stress of just knowing she was coming to stay for a few days,and during the stay was too much stress and apparently, (my own diagnosis) caused the heart problems. I didn't go back to see the specialist who was charging to much in fees for my budget anyway. I heard years back about Co enzyme Q10 , Dr Gundry had spoken about it in a News Letter from my recollection. I'm now taking this and get on a treadmill for 10 mins when I can't go outside due to sun or the high pollution, mostly pollens. I also have been taking the D3 K7 and Bio Magnesium along with B Complex and Biotin for hair thinning, the Biotin is a big help, my hairdresser said she has now started to use it. My worst nightmare was while I was put on antibiotics for H pylori, the side affects , hallucinations. My daughter already mentioned called an ambulance, off to hospital. Sixteen days, my oncologist treating me for asthma at the time was called in, not one person spoke to my GP or checked the medication. Two mental health teams where called in, both doctors refused to treat me, the nursing staff couldn't believe I was in there either. Two students nurses came on their last day at the hospital to tell me none of the nurses agreed that I should be there. I was in the ward with older people that were losing the memory,I saw them come in and see the deterioration after being put on medication, some forced as I was, told if I refused the medication I would never go home. My son spoke to the specialist and asked ty take me home to look after me, but was told I would never get better and since I was taken in by Ambulance the hospital "have duty of care". If they had any knowledge about that particular medication and side affects I wouldn't have even been admitted. Now I am my own doctor with YT and Google. I know that some doctors use Google, if you take any medication it's a very good idea to check them out on Google or your pharmacist. Best Wishes.
Im convinced they almost dont what us to know,more money from drugs?I was vit D deficient for years,supplemented and massive boost in immunity and no more low mood or pains.
I had what looked like poison ivy on my hands and tops of feet, after wasting my time(5years) and $ with doctors, I finally figured it out myself. I went COMPLETELY wheat/gluten free, symptoms subsided within 2 days. I have been GF since 2010. It's getting easier, but my heart goes out to those just starting out. Just remember doctors education process is funded by drug companies. No need to learn nutrition (12 hours,btw) if people have good nutrition, they don't need doctors.
I had sleep disturbances and slipped into depression. I was put on several "mood" stabilizers. The next year I had a physical and discovered I had less than half the recommended amount of vitamin d. Vitamin d supplements helped me come off my depression meds.
Half the "regular amount" according to traditional standards can still be not enough. Take control of you health and do your own research...make sure your doc is up on the latest studies or their ignorance will keep you low in D,A,K.
At age 60, I had various kinds of aches and pains developing in places that I never had before, like top of the hands, wrists and back... I started taking a low to moderate dosage of D3, K2 and Magnesium supplements... after a few weeks, the pains seem to have vanished, so far so good. I know I don't get enough fruits and vegetables and I'm working on that, but in the meantime I'm liking the supplements.
Great article. I take 4K units per day and have done so for many years. There’s no such things as cold and flu season, there’s only low Vitamin D season. During the winter months in the Northern hemisphere, the sun angle is low, obviously, and it doesn’t matter how long a person is outside, they won’t get enough Vitamin D from the sun. They need to supplement. Persons who are of darker complexion need Vitamin D supplements throughout the year since their dark complexion doesn’t allow for absorption from the sun. Sunscreens add to the chronically low Vitamin D levels. I quit using sunscreens years ago, but limit my exposure during the summer, or cover up.
Exactly this! And what is classed as passable is not always optimal for the person being tested. My health improved dramatically with vitamin D supplements, b12 and k. I know not everyone believes we should take supplements but they certainly have a place. Taking D alongside the correct levels of k makes all the difference to health.
@@witchysam4273 Specifically vitamin K2. The doctor should have specified which vitamin K. It is like saying you need vitamin B. Which vitamin B? The B vitamins have vastly different functions.
k Sharpe 80 what? nmol/L or ng/mL I say 80 is good if it is ng/mL but if it is nmol/L that is less than what I suspect to be ideal. Africans who live outside have level of ~50 ng/mL. The problem is everyone has persistent organic pollutant exposure even these Africans. And even they would have more garments than ancients would have had. To adjust value from ng/mL to nmol/L multiple by 2.5 and to do the opposite multiple by 2.5^-1 ;-) lol
The foods you recommended like almonds and spinach are high in oxalates which can cause kidney stones. Also, K2/MK7 is very important, especially for older women to make sure calcium goes back into the bones and not where it doesn’t belong like heart valves.
I recommend you to take power trio of Ifern products. It helps a lot of people who’s lactose intolerant. Prevent osteoporosis and to improve your overall health.
It's more complicated than that. I have been plant based mostly for my entire adult life. Tons of spinach and almonds - no kidney stones. I know people who eat mostly meat and processed crap lots of kidney stones.
I started getting kidney stones after a stomach surgery. I had 3 last year that required surgery. They are nothing to mess with!! If you’re going to take any of these keep yourself very well hydrated!!!!!
After having a H Pylori infection/gastritis, labs showed Vit D 20ng. I was that low for years. Started sunbathing during the summer and taking 5,000 IUs, two weeks and I went up to 34ng. Started working and couldn't sunbathe anymore ( I work indoors); Started to take 15,000 IUs along with K2 and 400mg Magnesium. One more month went by and my lab results now show 58ng. Dizziness, headache, palpitations, gone.
Me too, Same pretty much All!! I received no guidance so Currently my D is High. I bought a D 'mulsion', bc I wasn't absorbing Anything. I guess I over did my D, but do feel better w/ other symptoms since I started the D 'mulsion'. Keep taking great care of yourself, thanks for the post! :)
Anyhow, most important message seems to be: take vitamin D with Magnesium and K2. That is very good advise, despite the video being quite confusing. Also the warning against possible kidney damage from overdosing Mg I found very valuable.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. which part was confusing so that we can correct? Thanks!

I prefer magnesium glycinate and threonate for the specific benefits. In the winter I take Vitamin D3 with K2 10,000-20,000 IU daily. I feel it really helps with my inflammation and recovery. Along with taking MSM- sulfur twice daily.
I have always had slow moving bowels, normal for my whole life has been about 1 possible 2 bowel movements per week. I read that magnesium citrate helped with this, so started taking 300mg before bed every night. Let me tell you this stuff works, im having bowel movements at least once a day and occasionally twice, and they are all solid no loose stool. This has done some much for my energy levels not to mention I never realized how uncomfortable it was to have my bowels full to the brim with poo.
@@patjMD Thank for stating this I have high blood pressure an diabetes type 2 cause of my weight. An other female problems. I am currently 255 an nothing works I will try. Thank You
Eating lots of cabbage chopped it up put it in a pot boiling it in water add bit of salt in water if you want sea salt or the pink Himalayan one do it until your like soft is nice
Which brand? I used to take Calm and it worked like a champ. But then they changed their formula under new ownership. I haven't been able to find a good replacement since then. Most of MgCitrate on the market don't dissolve in water and they simply don't work.
Thank you so much for this information!! I have a number of Autoimmune disorders, and no one in the healthcare system has ever given me any of this information.

Do you have any idea how badly I needed to hear something positive about chronic pain. My hands and feet have been swollen for the past week, and I suffer from neuropathy (among other things). I deal with pain every day. But the past week has left me with little sleep and a tremendous amount of pain. People don't understand. I have always had a high tolerance to pain, and most people would never know if they saw me out in public, but for me to engage in conversation with people and to make someone laugh or smile or feel good on some level, that distracts me from pain and it makes my day. I was at a store, in a foul mood, and in a lot of pain, when I heard the angelic voice of a child. It made me smile, it changed everything. Then the mom and child turn the corner, and I'm face to face with them. I quietly told the mom that I was in a rotten mood, but when I heard her child's sweet voice, I was instantly no longer in a crappy mood and found myself smiling. She turned to her child and said, "Did you hear that, sweetheart? You just made someone's day." And I leaned toward the child and said, "Yes, you did. And, thank you." Something so sweet and simple can mean so much to people. So, I am going to download some medical forms I have to fill out to extend my secondary insurance while I listen to this video. I'm hoping someone makes my day... Be kind. Even a smile can make someone's day...
Actually, YOU made MY day with your comment about chronic pain! Someone else understands! I’ve had it for over 2 decades. When you’re in pain, it’s hard to even smile, but my granddaughter and dog make me smile!
As for Epson salt, bathing more than a few times a week can also mess with your electrolytes. I did it as an experiment from what I was taught in nursing school. On day 5 after having had an Epson salt bath at night for 4 nights, I woke up unable to walk, Husband had to go buy Pedialyte and it took 2 full bottles before my legs were strong enough to stand.
@@nrsrchd I do Epsom soaks routinely…so I can tell you they work. I also have had my blood tested regularly…you might want to do that rather than blindly believing a RUclips video…smh. Also, pedialyte just rehydrated you, it didn’t save you from the bad Epsom salts. At least learn how to spell it correctly, lol
I usually need 600 mg Magnesium citrate a day. Stress tends to wear out my magnesium and without enough Magnesium, I get foot cramps and difficulty with BMs. But everyone is different. My need for Magnesium may be higher then for others.
I have a great doctor. Recently, she had my blood tested, and my vitamin D levels were dangerously high! I took the recommended amount but I didn't need it. Half of us don't! It can lead to bad issues like kidney stones, and in my case, overactive bladder. Within a week of not taking D, I no longer had bladder urgency. I'm 64, but it wasn't old age that had me running to the bathroom. Please have your levels checked. It doesn't take long.
I watched the entire video, and not once did you mention that D3 should be taken earlier in the day with a meal with fat in it. Magnesium is better taken before sleep. You forgot to mention any of this. Also, most are deficient in magnesium because our soil is deficient in this. It isn’t easy to get enough in the typical American diet.
He did say that D is a fat soluble vitamin. So it is implied but offcourse it shouldn't be understated how much more effective it is to get it in with a meal which includes a decent amount of fat. It is even more important for getting the K2 absorbed.
@@endonyxoneaudio8644 saying it is fat soluable doesn’t imply “take it with fat”…that is a huge stretch. And yes, K2 in sufficient doses depending on how much D3 you are taking, is essential for the calcium to stay where it needs to be and not escaping into tissues and organs. Gross oversimplication, but you get it.
Yea I didn’t like this video very much. He didn’t really explain things properly and why we’re taking the supplements wrong. And didn’t mentioned the things you said of course
My blood test revealed that I was severely deficient in Vitamin D. At the time I had been taking a pretty large dose Vitamin D supplement for around 2 years. (I believe it was between 3=5x the normal Recommended Daily Allowance/RDA.) My doctor freaked out and put me on a dose that was 50k IU; seriously! The first day I took the prescribed Vitamin D supplement was ok. The second day I could barely get out of bed. The 3rd day I couldn't even think, more or less lift a finger. I was so incapacitated I couldn't swallow well enough to take my daily meds. The next day I felt a lot better, but I was still exhausted. I again took my daily meds, including the prescribed Vitamin D. By that night I was so exhausted I went to bed before dark. The next day I again was too exhausted to move or get out of bed. At that point I realized it was the prescribed Vitamin D that was the problem. I stopped taking it and returned to my normal, very tired but semi mobile self. It took a full decade before I was willing to try taking any Vitamin D supplements again. Recently I decided to try taking a Vitamin D & K2 combo supplement. I have actually noticed an improvement; especially after I accidentally took a double dose. Now I take that double dose daily and feel the difference. As for Magnesium, a friend's doctor put her on a Magtein Magnesium for side effects of Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism; which we both have. When she told me about how much of a positive impact the Magtein formula of magnesium was making in her life, and the history of that formulation (successfully designed to help dementia patients) I did a ton of research before being willing to add anything else to my daily pills. I was completely surprised by the successes Magtein had in improving mental cognition. Apparently, other than getting magnesium directly from healthy food (like coconuts and other nuts, etc.) this formulation is the most successful formulation to pass the blood brain/nerve barriers. (The group that developed the Magtein formulation had developed a different version of magnesium that had a small success in passing the blood brain/nerve barriers, but they were unsatisfied with that formulation so they developed the Magtein formulation.) I decided to give this formula of magnesium a try, and finished off my bottle of regular magnesium supplement then switched over. It took about a month before I realized that the new supplement was having an effect. I have to say that I was blown away by all the positive changes I noticed! I had a better memory, better cognition, more energy, less brain fog, better focus, better word recall, and was able to focus and follow a conversation better. (Note that with both the Magtein Magnesium AND the thyroid hormone replacement meds I was still functioning at far less than 50% of what I had been at 15 years before, when my body began seriously winning its war against my thyroid and I couldn't get a doctor to run the tests to correctly diagnose me. Since it took so long to get diagnosed, I have serious physical and brain damage... So, your milage may vary...) I highly recommend checking out the research on the Magtein formulation of Magnesium. You may not need it, buy you may know/meet someone who could be helped by it.
Thanks for your info. Chocolate tea (cocoa shells) has magnesium. It is a bit bitter for my liking, so I mix it with another tea like peppermint with honey or in hot cocoa. It does give energy. I do feel better since drinking it.
I had osteoporosis at a very early age. Rheumatologist put me on very harsh drugs to try and reverse it. Dexa scans showed no improvement in bone density with that drug but it did destroyed the lining of my stomach. I had to stop taking the drug after 5 years because of the damage it was doing to my stomach. Fast forward 10 years, a different doc did some blood test and found I was low on magnesium. I started supplementing with it. About a year later I had another dexa scan, I no longer had osteoporosis. Why didn’t the rheumatologist check magnesium, calcium, and vitamin K levels in the first place before putting me on a medication that caused more problems than it solved? We need more doctors like you.
I use the magnesium oil (spray or drops) on muscle cramps, arthritic joints, varicose veins, and tendonitis (including in my hands and wrists). It provides me with quick and lasting relief, so I don't need to use it very often.
@@bp7077 any chain drug store carries theraworxx foam or spray. The first time I used the foam on my neck it was like I discovered a miracle cure . I spent a year in physical therapy for my neck and couldn’t take Allieve or Motrin anymore according to the doctor. I nearly cried because I didn’t know how else to manage the pain. It will take 7 in pain down to a 1 . I kept looking at the ingredients wondering what the magical ingredient was 😅 I thought for certain there was some type of hidden analgesic. Nope just magnesium. It smells nice too. Just massage it in.
Iam a cancer patient and some of my treatments cause digestion issues like side affects of constipation and magnesium prevents that as well as calms me down so I skeep better! 😊❤
Your the only Dr. On videos that mention if you have kidney disease. They always talk as if it's great what ever they are talking about as a cure. Thank you.
Always appreciate this sort of info but one criticism if I may. This consistent "Check with your doctor first" isn't always possible for many people. I moved to a different province last year and have been unable to find a dr since. The walk-in clinics are massively overloaded and they try to do as much as possible over the phone. If they find that any lab work is done they tell you to come in but unless you are there on the 1 or 2 days a week when they take "walk-ins" AND you get there early enough (like 5AM for a clinic that opens at 9) you're never going to be seen. So a huge number of us are relegated to going to the ER if we absolutely need to see a dr. There isn't anywhere where I live where I can just go and get lab work done as it has to be requested by a dr. So i work on the "blood and bone" principal...if I see either then that warrants a trip to the ER. Everything else and I'm going to take care of it myself at home.
Or the doctors have no knowledge of what actual good levels are...rather they only suggest the bare minimum. Ie. Iodine...just enough not to develop goiter.
That is correct. The human body is complex and we all have many unique issues, so it would be irresponsible not to suggest you work with a healthcare provider. However, there are many “Direct Lab” sites where you can walk in and order your own blood tests. (A few will even send suggestions to help you optimize your health.) This would be a great way to at least get some baseline testing done.
@@chrissie3244 now your comment makes sense! I always wondered why we are constantly told to check with our doctor about things they know nothing about…now I get why, lol. Thanks❤️
Hi. Have you ever tried a telemed Dr ? Im in the U.S. and dont see Drs often. I do work in medical field Often you can get lab orders and have blood drawn at hosp..results sent to Dr.
I started taking magnesium bisglycinate for menupause symptoms, it has been the best thing, it actually stopped heart palps I was having too. Did a test and took for 3 months then stopped, palps came back as did menopause symptoms
I take vitamin K2 with D3 Vitamin D3 should therefore always be taken in combination with vitamin K2. These two vitamins work together synergistically and ensure that calcium obtained from food is deposited in the bones and not in the arteries.
Very interesting! I am a type 1 diabetic who has suffered from diabetic neuropathy in both feet for 40 years. About 6 months ago I started taking both magnesium and Vit D3 supplements. I had absolutely no idea that either of these could help with my neuropathy until I just watched this informative video. By the time I had watched half the video I realized "So that's why my neuropathy has improved so much! If ever there was a double blind study this was one! And I'd have to say that Vit D3 and Magnesium have greatly helped with my neuropathy! Thanks for this great video!
@@tilleryinnovations592 Couldn't agree more which is why I know more about most of my medical problems than many doctors. When my personal physician introduces me to visiting medical students she says, "I learned most of what I know about this particular disease from this guy." Or as I said to,another doctor some years ago, "I've read many of the same books as you on this condition and I kind of have a vested interest in understanding them." He laughed and said "Maybe we should seek another opinion." So I agreed to be examined by another specialist. The result? The second doctor agreed with me and following my suggestions for treatment I avoided surgery and 22 years later remain symptom free. The trouble with my approach is that I've played a doctor in Real Life for 52 years without a single vacation and it's exhausting! But given the highly dysfunctional medical system we have in America what other choice to I have?
I've been taking a D3 supplement for 20 yrs.. started out being prescribed prescription strength , 50,000 u 1x weekly.. recently, reduced to 5,000u x 5 days because of elevated levels. I just added a Magnesium supplement, 400 mg after reading an article about it improving hypertension. I can attest after just 1 month, my B/P has never been so low. I still take my B/P med as well.
I would stop taking big pharma meds nd just take natural herbs to lower BP. My Mum died taking big pharma medicine for BP her consultant in UK kept increasing her meds which served no purpose but damaged her heart!!!....herbs work nd vit C lowers BP 500mg or fresh orange juice.
To: Tom Biemacki: 1. What about SUGAR absorption? At 1:14 the FIRST thing you mention that vitamin D is essential for is SUGAR ABSORPTION. I love a sweet dessert like ice cream covered with dark chocolate, or a cupcake with frosting after a meal, but MANY modern nutritionists say that ANY amount of ANY type of even organic sugar, even honey or even the natural plant based - zero calorie sweeteners like monk fruit and probably organic stevia too, are like absolute poison to our bodies and our health, feeding cancer, bad bacteria, maybe fungus also, and cause a lot of Inflammation throughout our bodies, and as far as eating anything sweet goes, the only way it would not harm ALL people at all, is if they take a supplement just before dessert, that causes our body to NOT ABSORB sweets, so they can pass right through our body and not harm us. For instance Dr. Gundry has a couple digestive supplements @ ~$80/month w/a subscription of a 3 month's supply of both every 3 months for maximum discounts, that is supposed to do that. 2. At 4:04 you say vit D is "calcetriol" although on the whiteboard beside you at that moment, it says D3=Cholecalciferol or Ergocalciferol, so how do you spell the word you said vit D is, that sounds like: "calcetriol"? 3. I wish to take a detox to remove heavy metals at bedtime and take a medication and lots of vitamins after my 1st meal around 5pm, so when is the best time to take K2, Calcium & vitamin D3 (BTW, I just read that the MINIMUM amount of vit D3 that has EVER been recorded to cause toxicity in clinical tests of D3, was 300 mg of D3 per day, and that 10,000 IU's of D3 is a good idea for most people who are mostly quite deficient in D3. 10,000 IUs is only 250mcg or .25mg of D3. FAR below 300mg. 4. Another question is: Advanced nutritionists say that our livers filter out 90% of the toxins in food and drink that we ingest, BUT 90% of the stuff we put ON our skin is absorbed deeply into our body and circulated around including all the toxic ingredients in most soaps, lotions and shampoos, so we need to be even more careful about what we put on our skin than what we eat and drink. And a good water filter that removes all the toxins like sodium fluoride, chlorine, lead, rust & more, is MORE important for the shower or bath than the kitchen sink, because you can easily fill up pitchers for the fridge to drink and for food prep. )THEREFORE, how pure and natural are magnesium chloride flakes, and do they easily turn into liquid so we can save money by making our own magnesium spray or skin liquid by mixing magnesium chloride flakes with distilled water, AND since that magnesium out to easily circulate through our blood to all parts of our body as well as ease any cramps in our calves, ankles or feet by applying it anywhere we get cramps, will that delivery method of magnesium only be good if applied at the same time we consume calcium, and vitamins K2 & D3; and at least 1 or 2 hours before or after consuming all our other vitamins and any medications (generally)? (Side note: although many American brands are removing SOME of the toxins from SOME products due to complaints), most of the toxins put into American products and foods & drink are ILLEGAL in Europe.) PS: if you reply with your nutrition Email address to my questions here, I'd be glad to send you a copy of these questions so you can email it to any one or any place you know is researching the healthiest, best ways to take magnesium, Calcium potassium, D3 and K2. Please let me know the best answer to my questions that you can find as these issues are all being discussed in your lecture here. BTW, as doctors now days only study the fake nutrition created by the pharmaceutical industry in the 1950's for about a month, even though 50-60 years ago almost the entire field of medicine was prescribing foods and herbs to heal almost all ailments, handed down by Hippocrates who created the field of medicine of the Western world, as well as the Hippocratic oath: "To do no harm", when receiving their license to practise medicibe that all doctors took until VERY recently, and so they studied nutrition extensively before the 60's, but in the 1950's the pharmaceutical industry started deriveling synthetic drugs based on each previously prescribed food or herb, because they found the synthetic equivalents provided short term, lessening of symptoms, but never cured anything, like the proper nutrition HAD, as it fed the body with the nutrients it required to function properly, but by only subduing symptoms, rather than actually curing any sickness or disease, they could have a racket to charge people huge amounts for drugs they'd have to take for the rest of their lives, because they never cure anything. I just recently found out that the word pharmaceutical is derived from the term they originally gave sheister con artists who made fake tonics that didn't work, claiming they would "cure what ailes you." And also, my primary care physician, like most doctors, unless they have an extra degree in advanced nutrition, knows VERY little about nutrition. I HAVE heard a couple advanced nutritionists say that most primary care physicians don't order the correct type of blood tests that truly reveal if a person IS actually deficient in vitamin D, or any nutrient. He said you have to ask for the name of the correct type of blood test that actually reveals whether a person is actually deficient or not.. Also, I get cramps in my calves, ankles, feet or area around my right front lowest rib if I don't take the RDA of vitamin D almost every day. Also, when I got CHF in February 2017, the closest hospital the ambulance took me to, dud not know what they were doing, for the most part, as their "heart healthy meals" menus said they had 1,000 I miligrams of sodium in every meal, however there was no seasoning of any kind on any of their meals. On my 30th day there, the day they were going to discharge me, the results of my usual 6am blood test revealed that my blood sodium level had dropped to a nearly lethal level of sodium, as every cell in the body requires a certain amount of sodium to function, so they kept me, and started giving me a 1,000 mg salt tablet 3X's a day, still no seasoning on the food though. A doctor stopped by my room that day, to tell me that my extremely low sodium level may or may not have caused permanent damage to my kidneys. A year or 2 later, I got a print out of my treatment that said my kidneys HAD been damaged, although the hospital had never told me that, they only said the fact that my sodium levels had reached a dangerously low level on my 30th day at the hospital, (which was their fault), that my kidneys may or may not have been permanently damaged -- that they may recover on their own. I had no idea I ever had a problem with my kidneys, all though later that same day, both of my legs swole up like balloons from the knee down from the effect. Another doctor came by my bed later that day and told me I would have to keep my lower legs elevated above my heart to get the swelling to come down, but that hospital had no way of elevating a patient's lower legs. I had started insisting they send me to NYU Langone Hospital which all my regular doctors were connected with, from the point I realized they had almost killed me with the lack of salt in their food which they finally did within a couple of days, via ambulance from NYU Lancôme Hospital, straight from my room to my own waiting room at NYU Langone, which turned out to be about a couple of thousand times on a higher level! Their "Heart Healthy" menu said 1,500 milligrams of sodium/day. The lovely Japanese lady who brought my menu said they used some natural salt along with spraying on vinegar, and many other spices, and Éverything was fresh, delicious, and on a higher calibre, like from a top restaurant. My roommate sat in and slept in what the hospital called a "sleeping chair" -- like a big "Lazy Boy" type chair, that easily raised the lower legs above the heart, right beside her hospital bed with access to all the controls and button to call the nurse, etc. I asked for a sleeping chair like that, and they brought one for me right away. They had THE most excellent alternative health therapists that were covered by my insurance that I could request for almost every day, on top of regular care. Everything was super high quality. Thanks for your lecture discussing just the kind of info I'm looking for right now!
@@geo745don After taking Lisinopril for as long, my pressure was never below 140/90.. it took about a month of taking the Magnesium, to see a dramatic drop.. 119/71.. 127/77.. 118/76.. 110/73.. 126/67.. 113/67... 119/71.. 102/65.. I also keep my salt intake very low
I take Magnesium Taurate every morning to keep the heart beating rhythmically. As some magnesium ( magnesium oxide for instance ) tends to be a muscle relaxant AND a laxative, taking it at bedtime CAN be problematic - you snooze you lose takes on a whole new meaning!
I take Magnesium Taurate as well because it does not have a laxative effect like the others. This type is also good for reducing BP and Blood Glucose levels
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. Mag oxide is not a great choice, only 4% of it is absorbed into the blood, rest causes diarrhea. Great tip on the Mag taurate ruclips.net/video/esTz-_Mpm4Q/видео.html This video goes into it more but long story short: Taking larger does is safe unless you have myasthenia gravis, bowel obstruction, kidney failure or previous intolerance. Can take magnesium citrate powder, mag threonate are good options. Magnesium is fairly safe!

There are 2 crucial factors that determine the efficacy of taking both Magnesium and Vitamin D 3: What time of day is best for optimal absorption of each? And should either supplement be taken with food? Both timing and taking supplements on an empty stomach affect absorption rates and release of the supplements in the blood, stomach or gut. Please, comment on what time of day to take each supplement and whether each should be taken with or without food. Please!
Magnesium is an alkaline and its used as antacid so unless you have heartburn its better to be taken without food. Its also have calming / lowering blood pressure effects so its great for sleeping aid and many people use it as such so they take it in the evenings. It depends more of what kind of magnesium you are taking - mg glycinate - great for sleep and calming in the evening - mg citrate - great to make you poop your pants so its better to be taken in the morning to start your day at clean or when you are close to a toilet lol. And with magnesium - how much you absorb will be affected by the type of magnesium you take and the dose - Taking your whole daily recommendation of mg in one time will just make you poop. So in short - on empty stomach ,(one hour before a meal/ two and more hours after a meal) 1/2 times a day is best. For vit D - It doesnt seems to matter much but its generally recommended to be around meal with some fats in it.
ive been going thru the same questions as i started taking d3/mag/k2. i found out i was doing it all wrong. *#1... NO COFFEE WITH YOUR MAG* (or any other supplement/medication) so it doesnt block absorption. i was taking my MagGlyc when i got up... right after my 16oz coffee. now i know why i wasnt noticing much improvement.I now take 300mg of it at night, a couple hours after my last meal. not _too_ late though, as that _might_ cause sleep issues (its all about whether your bod is in a catabolic/anabolic state... long story.) *SO, MAG GLYC IN THE EVENING WITH WATER* *#2... D3 and K2* are fat soluble so MUST be taken with fats to be properly absorbed. theres also a timing issue with D3... too late in the day can also cause sleep issues. *SO, D3 and K2 AFTER LUNCH ON A FULL STOMACH. MAKE SURE THERE ARE HEALTHY FATS INCLUDED IN YOUR LUNCH. (im keto so i dont have that issue)* *#3... CALCIUM...* you should try to _avoid_ taking any of these with dairy sources as much as possible. that can also cut down on absorption. (very tricky for me cuz, again, im keto & cheese/cream/etc are a big part of my diet, so ive had to make changes to my dosing schedules). *hope that helps (someone).its all a big pain in the ass & our bodies should just make this stuff & be done with it! whomever our 'creator' is messed that one up big time!!*
I live in Ontario Canada and the lab that did my blood work said my vit D was low at 61, was told by caregiver take 5,000 IU day and I did that for almost one month until I became extremely nauseous and loss of appetite - wow! I checked health sites for all provinces and low is 50 I wrote the lab and am telling dr next week.
Some additional data points from my experience... Mag Threonate is the best because it's the only one that crosses the blood-brain barrier, but it's pricey. Mag Citrate is like the supplement you showed, where it's more for cleaning out your colon (by hydrating it) than for absorption. It's useful for colonoscopy prep. Lastly I know pain docs & chiropractors like Mag Glycinate for inflammation.
Magnesium L-Theronate really helped my husband get his focus back, helped tremendously with ridding his vertigo & now is doing & thinking better than he has in the past year! It’s wonderful!
This is 100% accurate . I had a FDN prescribe magnesium for inflammation ( her rate was a couple thousand ) and worth it. I have an autoimmune disease with a ton of painful inflammation in my joints. Can Prev magnesium bis- glynate ($25) was recommended . It worked perfectly. I later tried every form of magnesium out there and all of my painful joint inflammation returned. Citrate did zero for inflammation and more recently taurate did nothing as well. If you have joint pain In neck , shoulders , back, knees, hands , & feet . I recommend this as the only option that works for me. I am prescribed a variety of different brands based on lowest price and best quality ingredients ( some brands make good stuff and not so good stuff) so it’s impossible to use one brand for everything while making supplementing affordable. I will never be able to part with d3 , magnesium, and fish oil. I have experimented and have blood tests every 6 months. D3 keeps me in remission 🤞and my endocrinologist monitors my levels to adjust for my needs.
I used to use pure Magnesium Chloride crystals to make my own Mag Oil, a super saturated solution, but it was uncomfortable and not convenient. Mixing it with coconut oil seemed to make it less itchy and seemed to push it into the skin. I've since found Colloidal Magnesium! Nano magnesium goes right in to your cells. We also use the Colloidal Zinc, Gold and Copper. I'm sure you don't want me posting the link. I use D3 + K2.
Last blood test OH25(d3) 70 ng/ml take 3000 IU/day. Furthermore, I take K2(m7), magnesium, potassium, quercetin, calcium, Probiotics, Benfotiamine, Melatonin, Zinc copper, and Berberine.
Important points about getting vitamin D through sunlight is that in Northern climates the sun isn't intense enough during the winter months to make vitamin D. Also, to expose enough bare skin: arms and legs. Also to leave the sunscreen off for those 15 minutes as it blocks the absorption of the suns rays needed to produce it.
Magnesium is very high in pumpkin seeds and in sunflower seeds. Also remember, that the produce from any soil is going to be deficient in whatever is deficient in the soil it was grown in. Most of our soils are definitely to some extent in minerals. Your maintenance dosage may be as low as 440mg, but to correct a deficiency you will need much more. You also need K2 and Boron, and these both help to avoid the toxic effects of higher Vitamin D levels. If you don’t have enough magnesium and boron you will have trouble putting the calcium into your bones. If you don’t have enough K2 (not just K, but K2) then you will not be able to remove the calcification from your soft tissues like your heart and arteries and joints where you don’t want it. K2 also functions to kill foam cells and old macrophages, which are the precursor to Cardiovascular Disease. You also need enough HDL to transport the K2 into the epithelial layers of your arteries in order to kill the foam cells. You get more HDL by eating a diet rich in healthy saturated fats and by rigorous exercise. Take ALL seed oils out if your diet RTFN. Stop eating carbohydrates, and focus on a diet rich in animal protein and fat. Saturated fats have been demonized and misattributed as the source of Cardiovascular Disease, and that is wrong. Cardiovascular Disease comes from oxidized and glycated LDL, which happens when you eat too many carbs and not enough antioxidants. The vitamin D council now recommends 5,000iu per day, and this is again a maintenance dose, not a deficiency correction dose. If you’re severely deficient you may need to take 10,20, or 40,000iu per day for a short time to bring yourself out of insufficiency level. Just br sure to follow up with another test for vitamin D to see how high you’ve been able to bring your levels. Once you’re out of the insufficiency zone (60 or better), then you can take a maintenance dose of 5,000iu/day. But I’m not an MD, so this is PERSONAL advice from my own research and experimentation, NOT medical advice.

Dr John Campbell just did a great presentation on vitamin D3 toxicity and how we can tolerate much higher dosages than previously thought. I did 5000IU of D3 daily for a long time, but recently upped to about 16K. It definitely helps with my depression and anxiety, and regular magnesium supplementation (in several forms combined) seems to halt recurrent PVCs (heart palpitations) that I've had going on 40+ years. I only learned about K2 (MK7) about 6-months ago or so, so I've added that for the calcium protection (though I do not supplement calcium).
I will have to start taking my magnesium and D3 together ( K2 also). Most doctors know next to nothing about vitamins and minerals. My doctor gave me D2 instead of D3 and did not mention K2 ( which is essential for D3 absorption and to make sure calcium is deposited in the bones and not in soft tissues.)
Check with your doctor? That’s funny 😂 and I’m saying this as a nurse. Unless you want pharmaceutical controlled information, which is not based on disease treatment or prevention, do your own research. If you don’t educate yourself on your own health you will not have it. Do you know how labs calculate normal ranges in blood tests? They take all of the blood tests that they have collected in a certain time range, drop the extremely low and the extremely high values and then average out the rest. Guess what? Depending on the lab value, the normal range is derived from lab values of the sickest population because they comprise a large volume of the labs that are collected and averages out.
Was taking Vit D 5000ius a day but it gave me vertigo. Now I take it in cod liver oil and get more sun. Magnesium changed so much for me, totally cured my plantar fasciatis.
What part of the world did you live in while you took the vitamin D supplements? And what season was it? I am asking because I wonder if you got alot of vitamin D from sunlight in parallell with the supplementation. I, on the other hand, live in Norway where we barely get any sun during winter. And I am one month into supplementing with 50 000 IU vitamin D.
@@sindrestokke79 Japan. I get some but not a huge amount some seasons. I think it has more to do with the keto diet and intermittant fasting thing that really amps up my system.
@@seascape35 I know it sounds like an insane amount as it is 25 times the maximum government recommendations, but the government recommendations assume a significant intake from the sun (which I don’t get this time of year). The following metastudy (link in the bottom) goes through all reports of toxicity where the intake doses are known. According to it, all observations of vitamin D intoxication where the blood concentration and intake dose are known involve a daily intake of ≥1000 μg (40000 IU). To put it into perspective: One continuous 20-minute session of full-body sun exposure can provide the equivalent of 250 μg (10,000 IU) of oral vitamin D (for white skinned people). Keep in mind that two 20 minute sessions does not necessarily give twice the amount, as the skin is full of pre vitamin D after the first 20 minutes session and need to transport that away before there is room for more. A study on submarine personnel found that a daily vitamin D intake of at least 100 μg (4000 IU) is necessary to ensure a blood vitamin D level of at least 100 nmol/L. The reason for why I am taking such high doses (have done it for one month and will do it for two more), is to test if it can heal my psoriasis. I have seen a few studies successfully treating psoriasis with similar doses. Link to metastudy: academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/69/5/842/4714819
Just a side note. If you have some forms of liver disease, your body cannot make as much vitD3 as you would think. I had spent most of the summer outdoors and had just come back home to the UK from a holiday in Florida To find I was still deficient. It wasn't until a few years later that I found out why this was: I have stage three liver fibrosis and NASH.
@grapejelly...did you have fatty liver cirrhosis? What stage did you have? I got diagnosed stage 4 fatty liver, my liver looks bad and they said it won’t heal cause it’s to far gone. I told my doc for three years my liver was hurting, his answer was, you can’t feel the liver, but I ended up stage 4 cirrhosis 🥶
Mid to late 40s started having hot flashes and night sweats. My Dr said he’d read somewhere that Magnesium might help with this. So I left his office, went straight to the drug store and started magnesium. Took about a month to get in my system but I haven’t had a hot flash since. I’m 64 now. It works. I take 500 mg a day.
@@donnabolt5847 I order mine from Puritans Pride. High Potency Magnesium 500 mg. One a day. I should buy stock in them because I tell every woman that complains about ‘flashes’ about magnesium. Give it about a month to get into your system them, then don’t skip any days. It’s helped so many of my friends. Yes we women, especially we menopausal women, must stick together 😘
@@divakim206 It just says High Potency Magnesium 500 mg on the Puritans Pride website. I think I tried the citrate but it was like taking a laxative 😳😳
As a fair skinned redhead I’m always careful in what I take in way of medication & supplements. I tried Naturemade D3 2000IU I started feeling sick not thinking it’s the Vit D like a cold or worse with headaches, stuffy sinuses body/neck aches. My thoughts then said stop taking D to see what happens. All symptoms went away. Switched to Puritans Pride D3 400IU and slowly building up to 2000IU. No symptoms until I started taking three 400IU & mild headaches the next morning. I’ve cut back to 800IU again. Each persons body is different.
Please note that water is purified, so many people have absorption problems with gut problems or surgeries, age also interferes with absorption. Excessive exercise and high use of diuretics, many medications causes a deficiency in vitamin D. All of these should be factored in. Food Does NOT have the minimum amount of minerals in the soil. These are just a few of the problems that need to be considered.
Doctors aren't advising me regarding vitamins & health Improvement; I've actually been very hurt by doctors when trying to improve my health. I have a variety of illnesses & feel like doctors are Stopping me from improvement by not offering any solutions & shooting down all my questions until I feel like an idiot for asking.... Just like Many ppl, I'm on my own. I just hired a professional nutritionist & She's saying everything I'm hearing Here. She might be saving my life; it's too bad 'Nutrition' is considered 'Alternative Medicine'. NUTRITION is ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE per Insurance & Doctors. Thanks for Posting Helpful Data Here :)
I am a pale redhead with lotsa freckles. In my early 20s I had malignant melanoma. My doc told subsequently to stay out of the sun, and to not even be outside in the shade! Which was probably good advice. Except!? He NEVER mentioned that I'd need vit D. And now only in my 40s am I starting to learn and supplement. Seeing health improvement. But. Man! I just find that amazing that nobody in the medical community warned me that I would need vit D if I absolutely HAD to stay out of the sun.
Everyone is a little bit different, generally I do have to follow the general recommendations (toxicity can occur is some who are the most unhealthy, but most are safe), but yes I personally take 5,000 units with K2 & magnesium every day. Thank you for sharing!
I'm in Oregon. I could run outside naked all day and not get enough vitamin D, because of the angle of the sun rays in the Portland area. So yes, I need D3 + K2.
Light on d3.. Should keep levels at 70k-80k. Mag I like to blend different kinds and get approx 350 my daily. They all work slightly differently, helps me with sleep, cramps, tension, teeth grinding, etc. Also potassium
Magnesium is apparently pretty hard to measure in the body as it sits inside the cells, not floating around in the blood (according to official national health info). I use any chelated version but find that some forms are better than others. Do your own research and test yourself. Some forms are better for some ailments. I also keep a bottle of Magnesium Oil, as a first aid solution for cramps and muscle aches. Using Mg topically makes it go directly to the body part that needs it. It works in minutes.
I live in Canada, where so many have low vitamin D levels we are told, yet when I repeatedly requested that my doctor test my vitamin D levels, they refuse. They told me that the test is expensive and that as long as I am taking vitamin D I will be fine. I finally managed to convince a specialist that I was seeing to add it to my blood work, but was told it would be a one time thing.
Handful of pumpkin seeds, chia, nuts , cup of beans plus extra bits from veggies and your magnesium is well sorted plus all the hundreds of other nutrients that don't come with a pill and cost less. Get in the sun if you can. A good dose over summer will tide you through most months of winter.
Thanks so much for putting this info out there! This has backed up my questions and concerns on these topics! So appreciated! You can add Fibromyalgia to the autoimmune disorders. Thrilled to start helping myself better! 🎉🎉🎉❤

This video is a gem. I have been taking vit D 5000 units for almost 3 yrs and I have worsened neuropathy and insomnia as, well as fatigue and chronic pain. I do have an autoimmune issue, but things got worse since I increased my D intake. And I do take 200 magnesium daily. My actual prescription for D was for 1000 units a few yrs ago, but when Covid hit I was not getting outside like before. So I assumed I should take more and took 2000 and eventually 5000. Been taking 5k over 2 yrs now. And seems I am getting worse. I just assumed it was aging that caused it. I appreciate this video.
@@jesuslovesjudy The irony is I was low in my blood work and was supposed to take 1000 units. And at that time I felt better. Then after a couple years and seeing videos talking about taking Insane levels (like Dr Berg) and with Covid I thought more is better. Which I am seeing is not working for me. So I'm dropping back down to 1000 or 2000 units where I was doing better.
@@Acadian.FrenchFry Get your blood calcium checked. I had somewhat of the same problems as you when I started treating a low vit d level. Luckily my doctor was checking my calcium before it killed me. I was only taking 3000iu vitamin d Wich is 1000iu below the upper intake limit. It will calcify your arteries and destroy your kidneys if you take to much vit d. Dont listen to the people who say it's perfectly safe to take 30 times the normal dose.
Without K2 , vitamin D3 can increase too much calcium in your blood. So based on Dr Janine videos - vitamin D3 in the morning. And k2 and magnesium at night. Get your blood tested for D3 levels. Start with low levels first and give your body a break from all supplements about once or twice a week. Remember the vitamin companies also want to make profits just like pharma companies - so take supplements in moderation.
You are so right. Most doctors will not say much about vitamins, and if they do , they just say: “oh you are taking vitamins, good” but never discuss the benefits of the various vitamins, but will warn you of the “dangers” of some. Discussions of vitamins with most doctors, are discouraged. As if they seem to be afraid that they will lose patients if they take Vitamin supplements, and get well!!!! In fact when I was studying physiology in HS and College, there was very little discussion of vitamins!
I think a lot of this has to do with managed care, insurance, large venture capital health systems and treatment pathways now. 99.9% of doctors I met legitimately did get into this to help people, but are now buried under paperwork & bosses with 1/10th the medical training unfortunately.
I take 5000 units of D3 with K2. My blood level after years D was still lower than optimal range 50 to 80. Each of us are different and that is why blood work must be done.
Are you taking it with enough fat to be absorbed? On a related note, as a family physician, I had a patient tell me it wasn't until she started taking her vitamin D with fish oil did her levels start coming up. I never had a problem with my D levels, but I've been taking my D3 with K2 with fish oil ever since she shared this with me. Also, for those that can take fish oil, I have advised all my patients to do the same (ever since I learned it).
For your skin to produce significant amounts of vitamin D the sun needs to be at minimum 50 degrees elevation (higher if you have a darker complexion). For most EU and US citizen the sun doesn't get to this elevation for half the year. As for vit.D through food you would basically have to live on nothing but fatty wild fish (cultured fish doesn't feed on vit.D rich plankton so it has only about 1/3 the vir.D of wild fish). For people living at high latitudes there really isn't any way around supplementing vit.D, at least in the darker half of the year.
Regarding 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight, the recommendations NEVER state how much skin has to be exposed. There is a huge difference between 10 minutes on the beach in a Speedo or a bikini compared to a 10 minute walk in a t-shirt and shorts. They also rarely say anything about time of day or your latitude. Ten minutes in the sun in Minneapolis in November yields NO vitamin D no matter how little clothing you are wearing! Details matter.
Doctors seem to get a little irritated any time you mention seeing something on the internet. "Why did you come to me if you know everything from the internet." I've had several get very irate when when I say I want certain blood tests done.
That's because they prefer to be run off their feet by actual sick people crowding their days. You're wasting their valuable time while some poor cancer patients can't get a freaking appointment. Self obsession is not an illness.
@@cincin4515 So. Going to the doc short of cancer is wasting their time? Efforts to maintain one's health is self obsession? Huh. Interesting take. Although I've heard tale of a HEALTH-care system. That's just probably some lunatic's pipe-dream!
I was taking too much Magnesium supplements and ending up with kidney stones after the hospital checked my levels it was very high, So be careful with the amount you take.
I have heard that getting D from sunlight also contributes to Melatonin production and that might be why you can sleep better when getting outside and some sun. I also heard that the rays that produce D the best are those in the middle of the day. The rays early and late are not as good and can cause damage as the particular type of UV rays are not the best as in the middle of the day.
To allow your body to synthesize Vitamin D through exposure to sunlight it needs to be near the middle of the day not early in the morning. (short shadow i.e. within an hour or two from the solar noon in summer). During the winter in the U.S. you can't get vitamin d from the sun unless you live close to the southern border (Florida, Texas, SoCal, etcetera).
But early morning sunlight has near infra red radiation which gives you melatonin. The NIR rays cannot be seen but will penetrate your clothing too. See dr. Roger Seheult on light as medicine. But to get D3 , you need exposure of stronger sunlight between 10 am to 2 pm..I live in the equatorial region, so easy to get these two types of sun radiation
I take the magnesium Calm gummies because I had bad anxiety when husband got covid 2021. He survived it just fine. So anyways, I use it to calm me down and help me sleep better.
At this point, we know more than Dr's. The only thing I would want from my Dr. Is the test. We know a medical education is big pharma. Nice video though. Thank you.
You are a great fan, and we appreciate you Tillie! 100% agree, self education is the key. If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you, and these make a HUGE difference for us! g.page/r/CSzlpzp7G82TEBM/review Thanks again for watching!
I take 10000iu a day of vitamin d. My doctor was alarmed and tested my levels and they were perfect. He tests every year and always perfect. I'm a size 14 and since it's a fat soluble vitamin, the bigger you are the more you need. Definitely have levels checked but you might find you need a lot more than you think.
Magnesium malate is said to be the best, as you get magnesium AND malic acid out of it. Malic acid is what makes apple cider vinegar different from other vinegars. I buy malic acid as a white powder at a winemaking store; super-affordable, like 2 bucks for a bag; and I make magnesium malate by making an ultra-pure magnesium bar bubble in boiling water with a pinch of malic acid in it. EDIT: To increase bone strength you need indeed vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin K2; but you need other things as well, such as Strontium. Our bones are like 5% strontium, or want to be, but it is also pretty lacking in today's food. Additionally, bone is not just minerals; it is also a matrix of collagen where those minerals are contained; and we stop making collagen after age 40 due to lack of vitamin C primarily, and lack of Lysine secondarily. So, taking about 6 grams of vitamin C and 3 grams of L-lysine amino-acid per day, the so-called "Pauling Protocol", is essential to bone health.
In my line of work.. hotel maintenance.. most of the staff are middle aged to 75 years old. Most are women.. and we never heard about talking health issues.. back pains or leg cramps or clogged arteries. We all eat same foods , fresh produce , cooked like its from home..sold in many pop and mom, small restaurants or convenient stores.. hundred of drinks from hot green teas to coca cola. Our body needs to exercise and lots of exercises. You can find elderly Japanese from 65 to 90 yo still working , cleaning public toilets and streets. Train ad bus stations to keep themselves alive until death catches us..
@@isherwoody of course not. I eat natto rarely like once every three months. There are also who don't eat it..but we have hundred kinds of natto here. And I like the one with egg , katsuboshi or etc. Depends upon the price..the tastier it is the costlier it is.. I don't like the bitter one it's the cheapest on the shelf
Cool. I know that fermented foods in general have a lot of K2 but the root of good health is definitely in the diet and highly processed foods and added sugar are killing people.
@@isherwoody we have lots and lots of fermented veggies which I make homemade and eat everyday. Fermented veggies is very popular for younger and natto is mostly popular with elderly.we eat cakes sold in tiny slices and ice cream good only in one go.unlike there sold in big containers ..like milk and juices .. sorry
I'm taking a Vit. D3, K2-MK7, A, B, C and magnesium for my joint pain. Now the pain is gone. I'm thankful for these supplements. It's helps me a lot. Thank you for your information.

Another benefit of sunlight is the infra-red generates a variant, of melatonin, called daytime melatonin, that recent understanding shows is at least as beneficial an anti-oxidant as glutathione. Dr. Roger Seheult did an excellent analysis video.
Great video as always Doc! Very informative. As someone that works out of the house and spends a lot of time indoors this really boosts my motivation to get out there and get some sun
If you're taking Vitamin D3 you definitely want to be taking Vitamin K2 the MK7 version. You can also get Vitamin K2 by eating cheese and butter from grass fed cows. It's not only good for your bones but it makes sure that any calcium in your system is going into your bones and not in your arteries and soft tissues. When you increase Vitamin D it will increase calcium in your system. Do your research and watch some youtube videos on Vit K2 and D3.
Thr k2was taking for 2 years.. an sometimes it was giving me extra heart beats.. it could have been my calcium intake was low or could have been low magnesium but I was taking msgnesium So might have been wasn’t eating enough calcium an the k2 moving it caused extra beats
There is so much discussion here on vitamin K. I agree with Mike and actually came back to the posts to add a video on the subject. ruclips.net/video/D_UJaEZe9gg/видео.html Hopefully that works I’ve never put a link in RUclips before. If it doesn’t look up Dr Jamnadas and vitamin K.
Thanks Dr. for another valuable video. As you said here in Canada many products are fortified with Vitamin D and other vitamins. But even so many people are have deficiency of this vitamin so it is really important to get out for at least 15 minutes everyday to get some sunshine and fresh air. Vitamin D is best absorbed if taken with some kind of fat. Magnesium relaxes your muscles and have so many other benefits but it should be taken one hour before taking other medications because it can decrease the benefit of other medicines. Thanks for shedding light on all the aspects and benefits of all these vitamins and minerals and letting know it is always good to get test your blood levels before supplementing anything. Stay blessed❤
My doctor prescribed D3 so I take it daily but I would rather just get 5-10 minutes of sun. I am going to have to talk to him about that and the magnesium. Thanks for the information. Have a great holiday season! ✌🏻💟🐾
What’s wrong with Mg Glycinate? It’s helped a few people I know with heart arrhythmia. As for Glycinate (glycine), I use it every night (plus NAC) to help with my sleep. Also, don’t overdo almonds (or oxalate-rich foods), as the high oxalates can wreak havoc in your body and make things worse (See: Sally Norton, RN). Then there’s the Omega 6 issue. Nuts are high in LA, an O6. Too much will bring on back/spinal pain that you’ll regret… I know because I did just that. For me, it’s critical to keep the O3:O6 in balance, otherwise I can hardly move because of the pain.
Thank you, very informative! I get private blood tests done twice a year. I live in the north of England where we only get Sun and heat from May/ Oct. My D levels are around 80. Also, I take Magnesium Citrate at night, four times a wk. Rarely do I get cold.

Taking Vit D without magnesium made me ill. I had what felt like mini-stroke symptoms. They came on after I started taking Vit D and did not stop until a few weeks after I stopped the Vit D (it has a long half life). Luckily I was only using a 4000iu a day spray and not the 50,000 iu mega dose my doctor wanted me to take once a week for 3 weeks. I dread to think how I would have reacted.
yeah I heard loud hissing sound for hours after a 50,000 IU vit D dose. scarey. They said no one had any symptoms with that dose. well some do have symptoms.
YMMV I take 15 000 IUs per day with no apparent ill effects. My serum calcium is mid-range though I generally limit my calcium intake to around 600 milligrams per day from diet. I do take menaquinone and magnesium glycinate as well. I recall reading a general press article based on 1950's research that said there was quite a range of responses to this vitamin per genetics and disease processes.
The 50,000 a week dose is not vitamin D, it is a precursor that your body has to convert to vitamin d. Thank you for posting, I had not heard of anyone who had bad reactions to it.
@@rachaelmorrow6669 Hissing when you breath ? I'm on D3 and I'm having problems breathing all of a sudden. I've had my checkup and everything is normal apart from this Vit D deficiancy. Taking Vit 3D for a few months now and I fear it could be my problem. Reading these comments here have me wondering why my doctor never told me about Vit K2 and magnesium.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. Mag oxide is not a great choice, only 4% of it is absorbed into the blood, rest causes diarrhea. ruclips.net/video/esTz-_Mpm4Q/видео.html This video goes into it more but long story short: Taking larger does is safe unless you have myasthenia gravis, bowel obstruction, kidney failure or previous intolerance.

Great information, thank you! I need to get my blood work done to check my levels, especially with regard to D3. I have taken calcium citrate and magnesium citrate for years, but just started taking vitamin D3 a couple of years ago when I started staying inside most of the time.
You might want to listen to this podcast if you are taking calcium. He not only discusses the critical need for vitamin K2 (especially when you take D3) but also studies about long term calcium supplementation and mortality. ruclips.net/video/D_UJaEZe9gg/видео.html Also, when you don't get sunlight, vitamin D3 can help replace the lack of UV light but turns out Infra Red light is also critically important for health. ruclips.net/video/5YV_iKnzDRg/видео.html Good luck.
@@lorimav Thanks so much! I had forgotten when I posted the above that for the last 5 months I have not been taking calcium citrate, because I started drinking soy milk to raise my estrogen levels, and the soy milk contains all of my daily calcium, but it is carbonate, which is not as well absorbed as the citrate. Anyway, I've started noticing that when I floss my teeth, there are gaps between them that weren't there before! So I will have to take a look at what my options are. Thanks again! 💖
@@KH-xc5fq I took it because I ate almost zero dairy. But then I started drinking soy milk, and it contains 100% of my calcium requirements, so I stopped taking the calcium supplements.

You recommend to eat almonds but you forgot that almonds are high in phytic acid and would render the magnesium unable to be absorbed
There are many types of magnesium. Please clarify
Are you ACTUALLY a DOCTOR? And if so, what type of doctor are you? Foot doctor? hahahahahah
As a pharmacist I suggest you consult a pharmacist for these videos😀
This video frequently jumps back and forth between Vitamin D and Magnesium, which makes it hard to follow...and this is done AFTER the point where it says, "Today we're going to be discussing Vitamin D."
This should be 2 separate videos, one for Vitamin D, and one for Magnesium.
It would be funny, if not so serious, that all videos on nutrition recommend that you talk to your doctor before supplementing. Any doctor I’ve ever encountered in a very long life knows less about vitamins and minerals than ... my dog.
Exactly
Totally agree and they always go for prescribing drugs instead of looking a vitamins first! I was having hip pain after a previous lumbar injury Everytime I sat resting (reclining) when I got up I could barely weight bear for the first few steps. This went on for months and months... got prescribed piroxicam, tramadol, NSaid of other types, physio, exercise physio, prolotherapy for hip bursar and lumbar issues...on and on... I did a little research and saw marginally low vit D can cause hip pain. Took Vit D + K2 and Magnesium + calcium + vit D, and the hip pain was gone next day... Went from almost crippled the night before to fine next day! Can't believe the mucking around and expense going through doctors to find this worked!
Amen! They have absolutely no idea what they are doing in that area because they are only taught how to pill dispense pharmaceuticals. I always consult a naturopathic practitioner. It is appalling how they are not taught basic nutritional needs of which is biological system works and therefore has health issues ensuing from. The system needs an overhaul and depart from being owned by these profit companies.

K2 should be added when supplementing vitamin D. Very important for absorption and pulling calcium into the skeletal system instead of the bloodstream.
Crucially important point. I take 200 mcg k2 daily with 1000iu D3
@tinagrey2673...My pcp never mentioned for me to take K2 along with vitamin D. My sister mentioned it to me.
@@rachelc.5463 Take the K2 along with D3. Trust me.
@@rachelc.5463 Dr. John Campbell did a show on his RUclips channel during covid about the importance of taking Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2.
K2 will honestly help nothing. I was treating a vitamin D deficiency under my doctor's supervision taking 3000iu vitamin D, 100mcg K2 mk7, and 400mg magnesium. I ended up overdosing on Vitamin D causing my calcium levels to go to dangerous levels. Some people don't even show symptoms of high calcium until the damage is done.
This was happening to me. My vitamin D and B12 were almost depleted. So, my diagnoses were pre diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety, increased joint/bone pain. I have a bad back and neck, but never caused me too much pain and discomfort as I was suffering in 2021 at 66 years old. I though it was the result of getting old. I am doing a lot better now with my D in the 80, diet, exercise, no pre diabetic anymore. I will have another bone scan this year, but overall I am feeling great with my life style changes without prescribed medications. My dr did not even told me to supplement; she just wanted to prescribe me all these medications right away and send me on my way. However, I am an RN, and I know what I needed to do before swallowing prescription meds. So far so good!

I've been taking vitamin D3 10-20k IU everyday for the past couple weeks and for the most part the pain is pretty much gone ( for now) with a multivitamin about 30 mins after eating a high fat meal. I've noticed a great improvement in sleep, mood, have not had a depressing thought since, and my energy is thru the roof. I wake up and can't stop smiling cuz I'm just always in a good mood
That's great but that's a lot of vitamin D to be taking without vitamin K2. Without it you can develop osteoporosis or other calcium related problems. Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D and puts the calcium into your bones. For every 10K of D, you need 100 mcg of Vitamin K.
IV Mag is amazing in elevating levels
Epsom salts is a low quality way to supplement magnesium. It shouldn’t be what you use exclusively. You are amusing…you say the company line, check with your doctor…but most doctors know very little about supplements. I know this from my experience of 30 years as an RN, and a patient who had to research this myself. No, no, no to D2.
There are so many things wrong with this video. Vitamin K2 is NOT the same thing as vitamin K. K2 is what you need to use with D3, vitamin K is given when the blood is to thin to help prevent bleeds…please no not equate the 2. I am concerned people will go out and supplement with D2, and vitamin K because of your false information.
If you take vitamin D, it's important to also take vitamin K, because it helps calcium go where it's suppose to,which of course is your bones. Unfortunately, I wasn't told this by doctors, that prescribed a prescription vitamin D, 50,000 IU every other day, due to my D being low on my lab tests. I learned on my own that taking D without K, causes calcium to go other places in your body, causing calcium deposits, it can attach to the outside of your bones, like bone Spurs and in your arteries, and other places it shouldn't be. You should not take K if you are a blood thinner. I have been taking a lower dose of D now that it's in normal range. I have a question, is there a way to dissolve and remove calcium deposits in your body where it doesn't belong and get it in your bones?
I had my blood levels checked recently an got a print of the results. I am in Norway and the paper stated normal level of D3 is between 50 ng/ML and 150 ng/ML. I had 156 ng/ML after taking 6400 UI daily for 4 years. I also take Mg and K2/MK7. My doctor said all my levels are perfect. I am 62 years young....
Your vitamin D level is perfect. Like your doctor says.
Me too I take 10,000 every day
I’m 75 and surprised our stories are vary similar but I’m in the USA. But I am part Norwegian😎
I like "62 years young" becauce I am even older than you, 67 and now I waiting for answer on my levels. Greatings from Jessheim (a small town between Oslo airport and Oslo.)
The "# years old" versus "# years young"🙄
Spoken like a person not yet "older". Just wait youngster, just wait...
There’s a lot of variability from person to person with how much vitamin D to take. I got my blood tested about 8 times over the course of 3 years, while slowly increasing my vitamin intake, to figure out that 20,000 IU per day keeps my level at around 60-70. When I was taking 5,000 my level was about 20. So I definitely recommend taking those blood tests instead of just taking what the back of the bottle says or taking what works for other people.
almost virtually identical stories... 20,000 IU daily for me to have a prayer at being in the normal to high normal range (50-70). Started at 5000 a day and was still deficient, the recommendations in this video are bogus -- check the bloods and titrate up as needed.
How long would you be waiting for a new dosage to settle out before taking a test? I'm asking because the tests can be a bit expensive so I don't want to have one too often.
@@PercyJackson93 It depends how fast you wanna correct your levels lol. But in general before you start taking it you make a test, then 4/6 weeks later make another - and see how much it changed. If you take high doses like 10 000 a day - after 3 weeks is better. And check your calcium/magnesium levels at the same times. Coz thats the main possible problem with taking too much vit D - high calcium and low magnesium levels. And those are no joke.
@@alexforce9 it begins increasing more slowly over time. But it takes a year to level out. Might see video “vitamin d doses” by dr john campbell if interested
Absolutely, tests are essential. We took 3 over about 18 months. First towards the end of Winter, to get a lowest baseline (I was already on 3000IU), then took 6000 IU and retested mid Summer. Finally bumped up to 10,000 IU, and at the end of following mid Spring was finally happy with 75ng/mL. Also take K2, Mag and Zinc. There are too many factors inhibiting absorption of D not to get tested imo. Having said that, if tests are too expensive in your country/area, or you don’t want to wait, I don’t think 4000IU a day of D3 would be a problem for anyone, and would only lead to a massively improved health for the general population.
Great information to start with. Unfortunately most doctors, mine included, DO NOT want to talk about nutritional deficiencies or anything we’ve learned in the Internet.
I was diagnosed through endoscopy with esophagitis, gastritis, and duodenitis after years of symptoms and then sent to an allergist. Turns out I’m only mildly allergic to dairy. The allergist recommended I give up gluten, and it’s been life changing. Gluten was driving up my blood sugar and blood pressure in addition to creating sinusitis and bloated tissues.
It was also at the heart of the gastritis. The gastritis was causing poor nutrient absorption and consequently I had very low Vitamin B and Magnesium levels. Some articles say that chronic gastritis is the primary cause of low Magnesium.
I’ve been supplementing for year and 25 different symptoms of gluten sensitivity and low Vit B and Magnesium levels are virtually gone. This topic needs MUCH more attention in the medical community!

Recently diagnosed with Celiac disease , every symptom you have, I have.
On the diet now. And taking magnesium and D3.
Hello Kathleen, thank you for your information here. I've had no success with doctors either for years. The only one I put trust in sadly retired now was from India. He was very happy to hear that I had taken charcoal for a severe case of diarrhoea. He laughed, and asked how did I know to use it, because it's the best thing to do. He was always ready to listen and help without pushing medications. Alas those doctors seem to be none existence now. Recently I had a problem with my heart due to a great deal of stress and anxiety. I was sent to the cardiac centre,the specialist asked me did I have chest pain. Yes was all I was allowed to say!! He sat looking at information on the computer, then asked my daughter whom I had asked to take me there "how often do you see her"? Every week was her reply. Wrong!! Next question was have you seen any change in her. No was the reply. I hadn't seen my daughter for a few months until my sister came to stay for a week.I then was not able to move around the house, but did manage to stand up to get dinner ready my daughter recalled seeing this after we left the heart specialist.!! The stress of just knowing she was coming to stay for a few days,and during the stay was too much stress and apparently, (my own diagnosis) caused the heart problems. I didn't go back to see the specialist who was charging to much in fees for my budget anyway. I heard years back about Co enzyme Q10 , Dr Gundry had spoken about it in a News Letter from my recollection. I'm now taking this and get on a treadmill for 10 mins when I can't go outside due to sun or the high pollution, mostly pollens. I also have been taking the D3 K7 and Bio Magnesium along with B Complex and Biotin for hair thinning, the Biotin is a big help, my hairdresser said she has now started to use it. My worst nightmare was while I was put on antibiotics for H pylori, the side affects , hallucinations. My daughter already mentioned called an ambulance, off to hospital. Sixteen days, my oncologist treating me for asthma at the time was called in, not one person spoke to my GP or checked the medication. Two mental health teams where called in, both doctors refused to treat me, the nursing staff couldn't believe I was in there either. Two students nurses came on their last day at the hospital to tell me none of the nurses agreed that I should be there. I was in the ward with older people that were losing the memory,I saw them come in and see the deterioration after being put on medication, some forced as I was, told if I refused the medication I would never go home. My son spoke to the specialist and asked ty take me home to look after me, but was told I would never get better and since I was taken in by Ambulance the hospital "have duty of care". If they had any knowledge about that particular medication and side affects I wouldn't have even been admitted. Now I am my own doctor with YT and Google. I know that some doctors use Google, if you take any medication it's a very good idea to check them out on Google or your pharmacist. Best Wishes.
Im convinced they almost dont what us to know,more money from drugs?I was vit D deficient for years,supplemented and massive boost in immunity and no more low mood or pains.
I had what looked like poison ivy on my hands and tops of feet, after wasting my time(5years) and $ with doctors, I finally figured it out myself. I went COMPLETELY wheat/gluten free, symptoms subsided within 2 days. I have been GF since 2010. It's getting easier, but my heart goes out to those just starting out.
Just remember doctors education process is funded by drug companies. No need to learn nutrition (12 hours,btw) if people have good nutrition, they don't need doctors.
I had sleep disturbances and slipped into depression. I was put on several "mood" stabilizers. The next year I had a physical and discovered I had less than half the recommended amount of vitamin d. Vitamin d supplements helped me come off my depression meds.
What form are you taking?
Yes vitamin d makes a huge difference
Make sure you take vitamin k2 with vit D3. K tells D where to go...into bones teeth etc...
Vitae d is a hormone go in the sun f I e 30 niniutws
Half the "regular amount" according to traditional standards can still be not enough. Take control of you health and do your own research...make sure your doc is up on the latest studies or their ignorance will keep you low in D,A,K.
At age 60, I had various kinds of aches and pains developing in places that I never had before, like top of the hands, wrists and back... I started taking a low to moderate dosage of D3, K2 and Magnesium supplements... after a few weeks, the pains seem to have vanished, so far so good. I know I don't get enough fruits and vegetables and I'm working on that, but in the meantime I'm liking the supplements.
What D3, K2 and Magnesium supplements are you taking ???
Vitamin D3, or D2
There is a difference
Drops or pill form?
Great article. I take 4K units per day and have done so for many years. There’s no such things as cold and flu season, there’s only low Vitamin D season. During the winter months in the Northern hemisphere, the sun angle is low, obviously, and it doesn’t matter how long a person is outside, they won’t get enough Vitamin D from the sun. They need to supplement. Persons who are of darker complexion need Vitamin D supplements throughout the year since their dark complexion doesn’t allow for absorption from the sun. Sunscreens add to the chronically low Vitamin D levels. I quit using sunscreens years ago, but limit my exposure during the summer, or cover up.
As the doctor here said you need to do a blood test to really know where you are. Everything else is a guessing game
Dark skin complexion people do absorbed vitamin D from sun. Look how beautiful AFRICA people skin looks.
Exactly this! And what is classed as passable is not always optimal for the person being tested. My health improved dramatically with vitamin D supplements, b12 and k. I know not everyone believes we should take supplements but they certainly have a place. Taking D alongside the correct levels of k makes all the difference to health.
@@stephaniehuff3112 Really? Any examples?
@@witchysam4273 Specifically vitamin K2. The doctor should have specified which vitamin K. It is like saying you need vitamin B. Which vitamin B? The B vitamins have vastly different functions.
My Dr recommends 5,000 and my levels are always in the 80’s range. He says it’s perfect. 1,000 is not enough for most adults.
UK say 50 omg
Make sure you have sufficient calcium
@@1STBUCKLEY sufficient calcium is less than you think.
k Sharpe 80 what? nmol/L or ng/mL I say 80 is good if it is ng/mL but if it is nmol/L that is less than what I suspect to be ideal.
Africans who live outside have level of ~50 ng/mL. The problem is everyone has persistent organic pollutant exposure even these Africans. And even they would have more garments than ancients would have had. To adjust value from ng/mL to nmol/L multiple by 2.5 and to do the opposite multiple by 2.5^-1 ;-) lol
@@man_at_the_end_of_time what do you mean by africans who live outside?
The foods you recommended like almonds and spinach are high in oxalates which can cause kidney stones. Also, K2/MK7 is very important, especially for older women to make sure calcium goes back into the bones and not where it doesn’t belong like heart valves.
I recommend you to take power trio of Ifern products. It helps a lot of people who’s lactose intolerant. Prevent osteoporosis and to improve your overall health.
If you cook and drain veggies, that will eliminate 90% of oxalates. As for nuts, I doubt we were meant to eat them out of season.
It's more complicated than that. I have been plant based mostly for my entire adult life. Tons of spinach and almonds - no kidney stones. I know people who eat mostly meat and processed crap lots of kidney stones.
I started getting kidney stones after a stomach surgery. I had 3 last year that required surgery. They are nothing to mess with!! If you’re going to take any of these keep yourself very well hydrated!!!!!
How much k2 does an older adult need?
After having a H Pylori infection/gastritis, labs showed Vit D 20ng. I was that low for years. Started sunbathing during the summer and taking 5,000 IUs, two weeks and I went up to 34ng. Started working and couldn't sunbathe anymore ( I work indoors); Started to take 15,000 IUs along with K2 and 400mg Magnesium. One more month went by and my lab results now show 58ng. Dizziness, headache, palpitations, gone.
Hi can you share what brand of d3, k2 and magnesuim that you took. Thanks.
Please answer it’s my question too 🙏
Me too, Same pretty much All!! I received no guidance so Currently my D is High. I bought a D 'mulsion', bc I wasn't absorbing Anything. I guess I over did my D, but do feel better w/ other symptoms since I started the D 'mulsion'. Keep taking great care of yourself, thanks for the post! :)
@@rochelleramirez62 any D3 brand plus K2 MK 7 best and Albion chelated Magnesium is what I have taken for years.

indeed.i experienced same.and astaxanthin 2x daily
I agree - lots of confusion and I must have skipped the part of WHEN to take these supplements and With OR without food, etc.
I prefer magnesium glycinate and threonate for the specific benefits. In the winter I take Vitamin D3 with K2 10,000-20,000 IU daily. I feel it really helps with my inflammation and recovery. Along with taking MSM- sulfur twice daily.
I have always had slow moving bowels, normal for my whole life has been about 1 possible 2 bowel movements per week. I read that magnesium citrate helped with this, so started taking 300mg before bed every night. Let me tell you this stuff works, im having bowel movements at least once a day and occasionally twice, and they are all solid no loose stool. This has done some much for my energy levels not to mention I never realized how uncomfortable it was to have my bowels full to the brim with poo.

Tell me about it. Are used to need a bulldozer and a back hoe to have a bowel movement. 400 mg of magnesium a day does the trick😅

Do you have any idea how badly I needed to hear something positive about chronic pain. My hands and feet have been swollen for the past week, and I suffer from neuropathy (among other things). I deal with pain every day. But the past week has left me with little sleep and a tremendous amount of pain. People don't understand. I have always had a high tolerance to pain, and most people would never know if they saw me out in public, but for me to engage in conversation with people and to make someone laugh or smile or feel good on some level, that distracts me from pain and it makes my day. I was at a store, in a foul mood, and in a lot of pain, when I heard the angelic voice of a child. It made me smile, it changed everything. Then the mom and child turn the corner, and I'm face to face with them. I quietly told the mom that I was in a rotten mood, but when I heard her child's sweet voice, I was instantly no longer in a crappy mood and found myself smiling. She turned to her child and said, "Did you hear that, sweetheart? You just made someone's day." And I leaned toward the child and said, "Yes, you did. And, thank you." Something so sweet and simple can mean so much to people.
So, I am going to download some medical forms I have to fill out to extend my secondary insurance while I listen to this video. I'm hoping someone makes my day...
Be kind. Even a smile can make someone's day...
Actually, YOU made MY day with your comment about chronic pain! Someone else understands! I’ve had it for over 2 decades.
When you’re in pain, it’s hard to even smile, but my granddaughter and dog make me smile!
As for Epson salt, bathing more than a few times a week can also mess with your electrolytes. I did it as an experiment from what I was taught in nursing school. On day 5 after having had an Epson salt bath at night for 4 nights, I woke up unable to walk, Husband had to go buy Pedialyte and it took 2 full bottles before my legs were strong enough to stand.
Your skin won’t uptake anymore than the body needs. Your symptoms were from something else. You need to do some more studying.
Weird wow.
@@Katrn30 Then you try it and tell me your results.
@@nrsrchd I do Epsom soaks routinely…so I can tell you they work. I also have had my blood tested regularly…you might want to do that rather than blindly believing a RUclips video…smh.

Wow I had back injuries and it’s the only time I felt good healed after water therapy 2 her disc took one every day for a few years 😮
I usually need 600 mg Magnesium citrate a day. Stress tends to wear out my magnesium and without enough Magnesium, I get foot cramps and difficulty with BMs. But everyone is different. My need for Magnesium may be higher then for others.
I have a great doctor. Recently, she had my blood tested, and my vitamin D levels were dangerously high!
I took the recommended amount but I didn't need it. Half of us don't! It can lead to bad issues like kidney stones, and in my case, overactive bladder.
Within a week of not taking D, I no longer had bladder urgency. I'm 64, but it wasn't old age that had me running to the bathroom.
Please have your levels checked. It doesn't take long.
I watched the entire video, and not once did you mention that D3 should be taken earlier in the day with a meal with fat in it. Magnesium is better taken before sleep. You forgot to mention any of this. Also, most are deficient in magnesium because our soil is deficient in this. It isn’t easy to get enough in the typical American diet.
He did say that D is a fat soluble vitamin. So it is implied but offcourse it shouldn't be understated how much more effective it is to get it in with a meal which includes a decent amount of fat. It is even more important for getting the K2 absorbed.
@@endonyxoneaudio8644 saying it is fat soluable doesn’t imply “take it with fat”…that is a huge stretch. And yes, K2 in sufficient doses depending on how much D3 you are taking, is essential for the calcium to stay where it needs to be and not escaping into tissues and organs. Gross oversimplication, but you get it.
Yea I didn’t like this video very much. He didn’t really explain things properly and why we’re taking the supplements wrong. And didn’t mentioned the things you said of course
You do not need to eat fat with your Vitamin D. Bile will do just fine. If your gall bladder is working as it should, you'll be fine.
@@notjustforme No, there are studies showing that vitamin D is much better absorbed when taken with a fatty meal.
My blood test revealed that I was severely deficient in Vitamin D. At the time I had been taking a pretty large dose Vitamin D supplement for around 2 years. (I believe it was between 3=5x the normal Recommended Daily Allowance/RDA.) My doctor freaked out and put me on a dose that was 50k IU; seriously! The first day I took the prescribed Vitamin D supplement was ok. The second day I could barely get out of bed. The 3rd day I couldn't even think, more or less lift a finger. I was so incapacitated I couldn't swallow well enough to take my daily meds. The next day I felt a lot better, but I was still exhausted. I again took my daily meds, including the prescribed Vitamin D. By that night I was so exhausted I went to bed before dark. The next day I again was too exhausted to move or get out of bed. At that point I realized it was the prescribed Vitamin D that was the problem. I stopped taking it and returned to my normal, very tired but semi mobile self. It took a full decade before I was willing to try taking any Vitamin D supplements again. Recently I decided to try taking a Vitamin D & K2 combo supplement. I have actually noticed an improvement; especially after I accidentally took a double dose. Now I take that double dose daily and feel the difference.
As for Magnesium, a friend's doctor put her on a Magtein Magnesium for side effects of Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism; which we both have. When she told me about how much of a positive impact the Magtein formula of magnesium was making in her life, and the history of that formulation (successfully designed to help dementia patients) I did a ton of research before being willing to add anything else to my daily pills. I was completely surprised by the successes Magtein had in improving mental cognition. Apparently, other than getting magnesium directly from healthy food (like coconuts and other nuts, etc.) this formulation is the most successful formulation to pass the blood brain/nerve barriers. (The group that developed the Magtein formulation had developed a different version of magnesium that had a small success in passing the blood brain/nerve barriers, but they were unsatisfied with that formulation so they developed the Magtein formulation.) I decided to give this formula of magnesium a try, and finished off my bottle of regular magnesium supplement then switched over. It took about a month before I realized that the new supplement was having an effect. I have to say that I was blown away by all the positive changes I noticed! I had a better memory, better cognition, more energy, less brain fog, better focus, better word recall, and was able to focus and follow a conversation better. (Note that with both the Magtein Magnesium AND the thyroid hormone replacement meds I was still functioning at far less than 50% of what I had been at 15 years before, when my body began seriously winning its war against my thyroid and I couldn't get a doctor to run the tests to correctly diagnose me. Since it took so long to get diagnosed, I have serious physical and brain damage... So, your milage may vary...) I highly recommend checking out the research on the Magtein formulation of Magnesium. You may not need it, buy you may know/meet someone who could be helped by it.
Thanks for your info. Chocolate tea (cocoa shells) has magnesium. It is a bit bitter for my liking, so I mix it with another tea like peppermint with honey or in hot cocoa. It does give energy. I do feel better since drinking it.

I had osteoporosis at a very early age. Rheumatologist put me on very harsh drugs to try and reverse it. Dexa scans showed no improvement in bone density with that drug but it did destroyed the lining of my stomach. I had to stop taking the drug after 5 years because of the damage it was doing to my stomach. Fast forward 10 years, a different doc did some blood test and found I was low on magnesium. I started supplementing with it. About a year later I had another dexa scan, I no longer had osteoporosis. Why didn’t the rheumatologist check magnesium, calcium, and vitamin K levels in the first place before putting me on a medication that caused more problems than it solved?
We need more doctors like you.
I use the magnesium oil (spray or drops) on muscle cramps, arthritic joints, varicose veins, and tendonitis (including in my hands and wrists). It provides me with quick and lasting relief, so I don't need to use it very often.
Where do you get the magnesium oil?

Your the only Dr. On videos that mention if you have kidney disease. They always talk as if it's great what ever they are talking about as a cure. Thank you.
Always appreciate this sort of info but one criticism if I may. This consistent "Check with your doctor first" isn't always possible for many people. I moved to a different province last year and have been unable to find a dr since. The walk-in clinics are massively overloaded and they try to do as much as possible over the phone. If they find that any lab work is done they tell you to come in but unless you are there on the 1 or 2 days a week when they take "walk-ins" AND you get there early enough (like 5AM for a clinic that opens at 9) you're never going to be seen. So a huge number of us are relegated to going to the ER if we absolutely need to see a dr. There isn't anywhere where I live where I can just go and get lab work done as it has to be requested by a dr. So i work on the "blood and bone" principal...if I see either then that warrants a trip to the ER. Everything else and I'm going to take care of it myself at home.
Or the doctors have no knowledge of what actual good levels are...rather they only suggest the bare minimum. Ie. Iodine...just enough not to develop goiter.
Check with your doctor is a requirement to stop getting taken down.
That is correct. The human body is complex and we all have many unique issues, so it would be irresponsible not to suggest you work with a healthcare provider. However, there are many “Direct Lab” sites where you can walk in and order your own blood tests. (A few will even send suggestions to help you optimize your health.) This would be a great way to at least get some baseline testing done.

Should D, k2 and magnesium supplements be taken together or at separate times?
@@sharonmitchel1377 Can be taken together during or after a fatty meal.

Vitamin D3 should therefore always be taken in combination with vitamin K2. These two vitamins work together synergistically and ensure that calcium obtained from food is deposited in the bones and not in the arteries.

Very interesting! I am a type 1 diabetic who has suffered from diabetic neuropathy in both feet for 40 years. About 6 months ago I started taking both magnesium and Vit D3 supplements.

Or as I said to,another doctor some years ago, "I've read many of the same books as you on this condition and I kind of have a vested interest in understanding them." He laughed and said "Maybe we should seek another opinion." So I agreed to be examined by another specialist. The result? The second doctor agreed with me and following my suggestions for treatment I avoided surgery and 22 years later remain symptom free. The trouble with my approach is that I've played a doctor in Real Life for 52 years without a single vacation and it's exhausting! But given the highly dysfunctional medical system we have in America what other choice to I have?

I've been taking a D3 supplement for 20 yrs.. started out being prescribed prescription strength , 50,000 u 1x weekly.. recently, reduced to 5,000u x 5 days because of elevated levels. I just added a Magnesium supplement, 400 mg after reading an article about it improving hypertension. I can attest after just 1 month, my B/P has never been so low. I still take my B/P med as well.
I would stop taking big pharma meds nd just take natural herbs to lower BP. My Mum died taking big pharma medicine for BP her consultant in UK kept increasing her meds which served no purpose but damaged her heart!!!....herbs work nd vit C lowers BP 500mg or fresh orange juice.
To: Tom Biemacki: 1. What about SUGAR absorption? At 1:14 the FIRST thing you mention that vitamin D is essential for is SUGAR ABSORPTION.
I love a sweet dessert like ice cream covered with dark chocolate, or a cupcake with frosting after a meal, but MANY modern nutritionists say that ANY amount of ANY type of even organic sugar, even honey or even the natural plant based - zero calorie sweeteners like monk fruit and probably organic stevia too, are like absolute poison to our bodies and our health, feeding cancer, bad bacteria, maybe fungus also, and cause a lot of Inflammation throughout our bodies, and as far as eating anything sweet goes, the only way it would not harm ALL people at all, is if they take a supplement just before dessert, that causes our body to NOT ABSORB sweets, so they can pass right through our body and not harm us. For instance Dr. Gundry has a couple digestive supplements @ ~$80/month w/a subscription of a 3 month's supply of both every 3 months for maximum discounts, that is supposed to do that.
2. At 4:04 you say vit D is "calcetriol" although on the whiteboard beside you at that moment, it says D3=Cholecalciferol or Ergocalciferol, so how do you spell the word you said vit D is, that sounds like: "calcetriol"?
3. I wish to take a detox to remove heavy metals at bedtime and take a medication and lots of vitamins after my 1st meal around 5pm, so when is the best time to take K2, Calcium & vitamin D3 (BTW, I just read that the MINIMUM amount of vit D3 that has EVER been recorded to cause toxicity in clinical tests of D3, was 300 mg of D3 per day, and that 10,000 IU's of D3 is a good idea for most people who are mostly quite deficient in D3. 10,000 IUs is only 250mcg or .25mg of D3. FAR below 300mg.
4. Another question is: Advanced nutritionists say that our livers filter out 90% of the toxins in food and drink that we ingest, BUT 90% of the stuff we put ON our skin is absorbed deeply into our body and circulated around including all the toxic ingredients in most soaps, lotions and shampoos, so we need to be even more careful about what we put on our skin than what we eat and drink. And a good water filter that removes all the toxins like sodium fluoride, chlorine, lead, rust & more, is MORE important for the shower or bath than the kitchen sink, because you can easily fill up pitchers for the fridge to drink and for food prep. )THEREFORE, how pure and natural are magnesium chloride flakes, and do they easily turn into liquid so we can save money by making our own magnesium spray or skin liquid by mixing magnesium chloride flakes with distilled water, AND since that magnesium out to easily circulate through our blood to all parts of our body as well as ease any cramps in our calves, ankles or feet by applying it anywhere we get cramps, will that delivery method of magnesium only be good if applied at the same time we consume calcium, and vitamins K2 & D3; and at least 1 or 2 hours before or after consuming all our other vitamins and any medications (generally)?
(Side note: although many American brands are removing SOME of the toxins from SOME products due to complaints), most of the toxins put into American products and foods & drink are ILLEGAL in Europe.)
PS: if you reply with your nutrition Email address to my questions here, I'd be glad to send you a copy of these questions so you can email it to any one or any place you know is researching the healthiest, best ways to take magnesium, Calcium potassium, D3 and K2. Please let me know the best answer to my questions that you can find as these issues are all being discussed in your lecture here. BTW, as doctors now days only study the fake nutrition created by the pharmaceutical industry in the 1950's for about a month, even though 50-60 years ago almost the entire field of medicine was prescribing foods and herbs to heal almost all ailments, handed down by Hippocrates who created the field of medicine of the Western world, as well as the Hippocratic oath: "To do no harm", when receiving their license to practise medicibe that all doctors took until VERY recently, and so they studied nutrition extensively before the 60's, but in the 1950's the pharmaceutical industry started deriveling synthetic drugs based on each previously prescribed food or herb, because they found the synthetic equivalents provided short term, lessening of symptoms, but never cured anything, like the proper nutrition HAD, as it fed the body with the nutrients it required to function properly, but by only subduing symptoms, rather than actually curing any sickness or disease, they could have a racket to charge people huge amounts for drugs they'd have to take for the rest of their lives, because they never cure anything. I just recently found out that the word pharmaceutical is derived from the term they originally gave sheister con artists who made fake tonics that didn't work, claiming they would "cure what ailes you."
And also, my primary care physician, like most doctors, unless they have an extra degree in advanced nutrition, knows VERY little about nutrition. I HAVE heard a couple advanced nutritionists say that most primary care physicians don't order the correct type of blood tests that truly reveal if a person IS actually deficient in vitamin D, or any nutrient. He said you have to ask for the name of the correct type of blood test that actually reveals whether a person is actually deficient or not..
Also, I get cramps in my calves, ankles, feet or area around my right front lowest rib if I don't take the RDA of vitamin D almost every day. Also, when I got CHF in February 2017, the closest hospital the ambulance took me to, dud not know what they were doing, for the most part, as their "heart healthy meals" menus said they had 1,000 I miligrams of sodium in every meal, however there was no seasoning of any kind on any of their meals. On my 30th day there, the day they were going to discharge me, the results of my usual 6am blood test revealed that my blood sodium level had dropped to a nearly lethal level of sodium, as every cell in the body requires a certain amount of sodium to function, so they kept me, and started giving me a 1,000 mg salt tablet 3X's a day, still no seasoning on the food though. A doctor stopped by my room that day, to tell me that my extremely low sodium level may or may not have caused permanent damage to my kidneys. A year or 2 later, I got a print out of my treatment that said my kidneys HAD been damaged, although the hospital had never told me that, they only said the fact that my sodium levels had reached a dangerously low level on my 30th day at the hospital, (which was their fault), that my kidneys may or may not have been permanently damaged -- that they may recover on their own. I had no idea I ever had a problem with my kidneys, all though later that same day, both of my legs swole up like balloons from the knee down from the effect. Another doctor came by my bed later that day and told me I would have to keep my lower legs elevated above my heart to get the swelling to come down, but that hospital had no way of elevating a patient's lower legs.
I had started insisting they send me to NYU Langone Hospital which all my regular doctors were connected with, from the point I realized they had almost killed me with the lack of salt in their food which they finally did within a couple of days, via ambulance from NYU Lancôme Hospital, straight from my room to my own waiting room at NYU Langone, which turned out to be about a couple of thousand times on a higher level! Their "Heart Healthy" menu said 1,500 milligrams of sodium/day. The lovely Japanese lady who brought my menu said they used some natural salt along with spraying on vinegar, and many other spices, and Éverything was fresh, delicious, and on a higher calibre, like from a top restaurant. My roommate sat in and slept in what the hospital called a "sleeping chair" -- like a big "Lazy Boy" type chair, that easily raised the lower legs above the heart, right beside her hospital bed with access to all the controls and button to call the nurse, etc. I asked for a sleeping chair like that, and they brought one for me right away. They had THE most excellent alternative health therapists that were covered by my insurance that I could request for almost every day, on top of regular care. Everything was super high quality. Thanks for your lecture discussing just the kind of info I'm looking for right now!
What's your BP number before and after

I take Magnesium Taurate every morning to keep the heart beating rhythmically. As some magnesium ( magnesium oxide for instance ) tends to be a muscle relaxant AND a laxative, taking it at bedtime CAN be problematic - you snooze you lose takes on a whole new meaning!
I take Magnesium Taurate as well because it does not have a laxative effect like the others. This type is also good for reducing BP and Blood Glucose levels
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. Mag oxide is not a great choice, only 4% of it is absorbed into the blood, rest causes diarrhea. Great tip on the Mag taurate
ruclips.net/video/esTz-_Mpm4Q/видео.html This video goes into it more but long story short:
Taking larger does is safe unless you have myasthenia gravis, bowel obstruction, kidney failure or previous intolerance.
Can take magnesium citrate powder, mag threonate are good options. Magnesium is fairly safe!

There are 2 crucial factors that determine the efficacy of taking both Magnesium and Vitamin D 3:
What time of day is best for optimal absorption of each?
And should either supplement be taken with food?
Both timing and taking supplements on an empty stomach affect absorption rates and release of the supplements in the blood, stomach or gut.
Please, comment on what time of day to take each supplement and whether each should be taken with or without food. Please!
Magnesium is an alkaline and its used as antacid so unless you have heartburn its better to be taken without food. Its also have calming / lowering blood pressure effects so its great for sleeping aid and many people use it as such so they take it in the evenings. It depends more of what kind of magnesium you are taking - mg glycinate - great for sleep and calming in the evening - mg citrate - great to make you poop your pants so its better to be taken in the morning to start your day at clean or when you are close to a toilet lol. And with magnesium - how much you absorb will be affected by the type of magnesium you take and the dose - Taking your whole daily recommendation of mg in one time will just make you poop. So in short - on empty stomach ,(one hour before a meal/ two and more hours after a meal) 1/2 times a day is best. For vit D - It doesnt seems to matter much but its generally recommended to be around meal with some fats in it.
Good job
ive been going thru the same questions as i started taking d3/mag/k2. i found out i was doing it all wrong.
*#1... NO COFFEE WITH YOUR MAG* (or any other supplement/medication) so it doesnt block absorption. i was taking my MagGlyc when i got up... right after my 16oz coffee. now i know why i wasnt noticing much improvement.I now take 300mg of it at night, a couple hours after my last meal. not _too_ late though, as that _might_ cause sleep issues (its all about whether your bod is in a catabolic/anabolic state... long story.)
*SO, MAG GLYC IN THE EVENING WITH WATER*
*#2... D3 and K2* are fat soluble so MUST be taken with fats to be properly absorbed. theres also a timing issue with D3... too late in the day can also cause sleep issues.
*SO, D3 and K2 AFTER LUNCH ON A FULL STOMACH. MAKE SURE THERE ARE HEALTHY FATS INCLUDED IN YOUR LUNCH. (im keto so i dont have that issue)*
*#3... CALCIUM...* you should try to _avoid_ taking any of these with dairy sources as much as possible. that can also cut down on absorption. (very tricky for me cuz, again, im keto & cheese/cream/etc are a big part of my diet, so ive had to make changes to my dosing schedules).
*hope that helps (someone).its all a big pain in the ass & our bodies should just make this stuff & be done with it! whomever our 'creator' is messed that one up big time!!*
Has to be taken with fatty meal as D3 is fat soluble vitamin, take it with lunch
Thank you doctor, don’t ever let the haters and rude folks here seriously. Thank you for your public work
I live in Ontario Canada and the lab that did my blood work said my vit D was low at 61, was told by caregiver take 5,000 IU day and I did that for almost one month until I became extremely nauseous and loss of appetite - wow! I checked health sites for all provinces and low is 50 I wrote the lab and am telling dr next week.

Some additional data points from my experience... Mag Threonate is the best because it's the only one that crosses the blood-brain barrier, but it's pricey. Mag Citrate is like the supplement you showed, where it's more for cleaning out your colon (by hydrating it) than for absorption. It's useful for colonoscopy prep. Lastly I know pain docs & chiropractors like Mag Glycinate for inflammation.
Yup. Magnesium bisglycinate (New Roots brand) keeps me migraine free! 🥳
@@sophiemarcaurele Going to try that!
I agree totally.
Magnesium L-Theronate really helped my husband get his focus back, helped tremendously with ridding his vertigo & now is doing & thinking better than he has in the past year! It’s wonderful!
This is 100% accurate . I had a FDN prescribe magnesium for inflammation ( her rate was a couple thousand ) and worth it. I have an autoimmune disease with a ton of painful inflammation in my joints. Can Prev magnesium bis- glynate ($25) was recommended . It worked perfectly. I later tried every form of magnesium out there and all of my painful joint inflammation returned.
Citrate did zero for inflammation and more recently taurate did nothing as well.
If you have joint pain In neck , shoulders , back, knees, hands , & feet . I recommend this as the only option that works for me.
I am prescribed a variety of different brands based on lowest price and best quality ingredients ( some brands make good stuff and not so good stuff) so it’s impossible to use one brand for everything while making supplementing affordable.
I will never be able to part with d3 , magnesium, and fish oil. I have experimented and have blood tests every 6 months. D3 keeps me in remission 🤞and my endocrinologist monitors my levels to adjust for my needs.
I used to use pure Magnesium Chloride crystals to make my own Mag Oil, a super saturated solution, but it was uncomfortable and not convenient. Mixing it with coconut oil seemed to make it less itchy and seemed to push it into the skin. I've since found Colloidal Magnesium! Nano magnesium goes right in to your cells. We also use the Colloidal Zinc, Gold and Copper. I'm sure you don't want me posting the link. I use D3 + K2.
Last blood test OH25(d3) 70 ng/ml take 3000 IU/day. Furthermore, I take K2(m7), magnesium, potassium, quercetin, calcium, Probiotics, Benfotiamine, Melatonin, Zinc copper, and Berberine.
Excellent! 👍👌

Important points about getting vitamin D through sunlight is that in Northern climates the sun isn't intense enough during the winter months to make vitamin D. Also, to expose enough bare skin: arms and legs. Also to leave the sunscreen off for those 15 minutes as it blocks the absorption of the suns rays needed to produce it.
Those are great points
Yes if you're wearing high-SPF sunscreen you'll barely generate any vitamin D at all. It's the UV that's needed.
Magnesium is very high in pumpkin seeds and in sunflower seeds. Also remember, that the produce from any soil is going to be deficient in whatever is deficient in the soil it was grown in. Most of our soils are definitely to some extent in minerals.
Your maintenance dosage may be as low as 440mg, but to correct a deficiency you will need much more.
You also need K2 and Boron, and these both help to avoid the toxic effects of higher Vitamin D levels. If you don’t have enough magnesium and boron you will have trouble putting the calcium into your bones. If you don’t have enough K2 (not just K, but K2) then you will not be able to remove the calcification from your soft tissues like your heart and arteries and joints where you don’t want it. K2 also functions to kill foam cells and old macrophages, which are the precursor to Cardiovascular Disease.
You also need enough HDL to transport the K2 into the epithelial layers of your arteries in order to kill the foam cells. You get more HDL by eating a diet rich in healthy saturated fats and by rigorous exercise.
Take ALL seed oils out if your diet RTFN. Stop eating carbohydrates, and focus on a diet rich in animal protein and fat. Saturated fats have been demonized and misattributed as the source of Cardiovascular Disease, and that is wrong. Cardiovascular Disease comes from oxidized and glycated LDL, which happens when you eat too many carbs and not enough antioxidants.
The vitamin D council now recommends 5,000iu per day, and this is again a maintenance dose, not a deficiency correction dose. If you’re severely deficient you may need to take 10,20, or 40,000iu per day for a short time to bring yourself out of insufficiency level. Just br sure to follow up with another test for vitamin D to see how high you’ve been able to bring your levels. Once you’re out of the insufficiency zone (60 or better), then you can take a maintenance dose of 5,000iu/day.
But I’m not an MD, so this is PERSONAL advice from my own research and experimentation, NOT medical advice.
You said it right...
What seed oils? Avacado? Grapeseed? Sesame,? Pumpkin? Sunflower?
What's a foam cell??
Thanks for this, especially about the connection to kidney damage. This has been happening with me, and no one ever pointed it out before!

Dr John Campbell just did a great presentation on vitamin D3 toxicity and how we can tolerate much higher dosages than previously thought. I did 5000IU of D3 daily for a long time, but recently upped to about 16K. It definitely helps with my depression and anxiety, and regular magnesium supplementation (in several forms combined) seems to halt recurrent PVCs (heart palpitations) that I've had going on 40+ years. I only learned about K2 (MK7) about 6-months ago or so, so I've added that for the calcium protection (though I do not supplement calcium).
Yeah the values given in this video are tiny compared to what I see elsewhere, even sunlight generates more than 1000 IU.
Dr Hollick better source has researched it for yrs. Dr Campbell is nursing PhD not MD.
@@zerrodefex
Dr Hollick better source has researched it for yrs.
Lack of magnessium cause palpitation
I will have to start taking my magnesium and D3 together ( K2 also). Most doctors know next to nothing about vitamins and minerals. My doctor gave me D2 instead of D3 and did not mention K2 ( which is essential for D3 absorption and to make sure calcium is deposited in the bones and not in soft tissues.)
Check with your doctor? That’s funny 😂 and I’m saying this as a nurse. Unless you want pharmaceutical controlled information, which is not based on disease treatment or prevention, do your own research. If you don’t educate yourself on your own health you will not have it. Do you know how labs calculate normal ranges in blood tests? They take all of the blood tests that they have collected in a certain time range, drop the extremely low and the extremely high values and then average out the rest. Guess what? Depending on the lab value, the normal range is derived from lab values of the sickest population because they comprise a large volume of the labs that are collected and averages out.
That makes sense why falling in "normal" for some things is not "normal"feeling for me
Medicare does not cover these tests so I take minimums of D, Mmagnesium, agoodsupplement, B 12, CoQ10. Probiotics as well.
I'm not taking advice from a chiropractor
I was going to post the same - nurse here as well. More power to you!!
@@Og-Judy then you’re missing out.

What part of the world did you live in while you took the vitamin D supplements? And what season was it? I am asking because I wonder if you got alot of vitamin D from sunlight in parallell with the supplementation. I, on the other hand, live in Norway where we barely get any sun during winter. And I am one month into supplementing with 50 000 IU vitamin D.
@@sindrestokke79 Japan. I get some but not a huge amount some seasons. I think it has more to do with the keto diet and intermittant fasting thing that really amps up my system.
@@sindrestokke79 Do you mean daily? Isn't 50,000 IU of Vitamin D daily an awful lot?
@@seascape35 I know it sounds like an insane amount as it is 25 times the maximum government recommendations, but the government recommendations assume a significant intake from the sun (which I don’t get this time of year).
The following metastudy (link in the bottom) goes through all reports of toxicity where the intake doses are known. According to it, all observations of vitamin D intoxication where the blood concentration and intake dose are known involve a daily intake of ≥1000 μg (40000 IU).
To put it into perspective:
One continuous 20-minute session of full-body sun exposure can provide the equivalent of 250 μg (10,000 IU) of oral vitamin D (for white skinned people). Keep in mind that two 20 minute sessions does not necessarily give twice the amount, as the skin is full of pre vitamin D after the first 20 minutes session and need to transport that away before there is room for more.
A study on submarine personnel found that a daily vitamin D intake of at least 100 μg (4000 IU) is necessary to ensure a blood vitamin D level of at least 100 nmol/L.
The reason for why I am taking such high doses (have done it for one month and will do it for two more), is to test if it can heal my psoriasis. I have seen a few studies successfully treating psoriasis with similar doses.

Just a side note. If you have some forms of liver disease, your body cannot make as much vitD3 as you would think. I had spent most of the summer outdoors and had just come back home to the UK from a holiday in Florida To find I was still deficient. It wasn't until a few years later that I found out why this was: I have stage three liver fibrosis and NASH.
What was your diet like at the time you were diagnosed?
@grapejelly...did you have fatty liver cirrhosis? What stage did you have? I got diagnosed stage 4 fatty liver, my liver looks bad and they said it won’t heal cause it’s to far gone. I told my doc for three years my liver was hurting, his answer was, you can’t feel the liver, but I ended up stage 4 cirrhosis 🥶
Mid to late 40s started having hot flashes and night sweats. My Dr said he’d read somewhere that Magnesium might help with this.

My thoughts then said stop taking D to see what happens. All symptoms went away. Switched to Puritans Pride D3 400IU and slowly building up to 2000IU. No symptoms until I started taking three 400IU & mild headaches the next morning. I’ve cut back to 800IU again. Each persons body is different.
Did you take vitamin K2 and magnesium with your vitamin D3? If not then that is why you got the headaches.
@@bluewaters3100 Thank you for that info. Is there a website to find out the dosage? You’re a great help and appreciate your knowledge.
Please note that water is purified, so many people have absorption problems with gut problems or surgeries, age also interferes with absorption. Excessive exercise and high use of diuretics, many medications causes a deficiency in vitamin D. All of these should be factored in. Food Does NOT have the minimum amount of minerals in the soil. These are just a few of the problems that need to be considered.

I am a pale redhead with lotsa freckles. In my early 20s I had malignant melanoma. My doc told subsequently to stay out of the sun, and to not even be outside in the shade! Which was probably good advice. Except!? He NEVER mentioned that I'd need vit D. And now only in my 40s am I starting to learn and supplement. Seeing health improvement. But. Man! I just find that amazing that nobody in the medical community warned me that I would need vit D if I absolutely HAD to stay out of the sun.
I'm proud that you've hired a nutritionist. Very smart!

Great share.
Everyone is a little bit different, generally I do have to follow the general recommendations (toxicity can occur is some who are the most unhealthy, but most are safe), but yes I personally take 5,000 units with K2 & magnesium every day. Thank you for sharing!
I'm in Oregon. I could run outside naked all day and not get enough vitamin D, because of the angle of the sun rays in the Portland area. So yes, I need D3 + K2.
In Australia, here, sun cancers are no fun, either.
I use Magnesium L-Threonate 2000mg - Added Magnesium Glycinate 750mg - Added Magnesium Malate 750mg - Added Vitamin B6, B1 and Zinc - Magnesium Complex
Light on d3.. Should keep levels at 70k-80k. Mag I like to blend different kinds and get approx 350 my daily. They all work slightly differently, helps me with sleep, cramps, tension, teeth grinding, etc. Also potassium
Magnesium is apparently pretty hard to measure in the body as it sits inside the cells, not floating around in the blood (according to official national health info). I use any chelated version but find that some forms are better than others. Do your own research and test yourself. Some forms are better for some ailments.
I also keep a bottle of Magnesium Oil, as a first aid solution for cramps and muscle aches. Using Mg topically makes it go directly to the body part that needs it. It works in minutes.
I live in Canada, where so many have low vitamin D levels we are told, yet when I repeatedly requested that my doctor test my vitamin D levels, they refuse. They told me that the test is expensive and that as long as I am taking vitamin D I will be fine. I finally managed to convince a specialist that I was seeing to add it to my blood work, but was told it would be a one time thing.
5000 is a floor, at 75 have been doing this along k2 for decades
Handful of pumpkin seeds, chia, nuts , cup of beans plus extra bits from veggies and your magnesium is well sorted plus all the hundreds of other nutrients that don't come with a pill and cost less. Get in the sun if you can. A good dose over summer will tide you through most months of winter.
Don't forget the sunflower seeds!

I do have an autoimmune issue, but things got worse since I increased my D intake. And I do take 200 magnesium daily. My actual prescription for D was for 1000 units a few yrs ago, but when Covid hit I was not getting outside like before. So I assumed I should take more and took 2000 and eventually 5000. Been taking 5k over 2 yrs now. And seems I am getting worse. I just assumed it was aging that caused it. I appreciate this video.
Vit d causes pain in my body severely. Try not taking it
@@jesuslovesjudy The irony is I was low in my blood work and was supposed to take 1000 units. And at that time I felt better. Then after a couple years and seeing videos talking about taking Insane levels (like Dr Berg) and with Covid I thought more is better. Which I am seeing is not working for me. So I'm dropping back down to 1000 or 2000 units where I was doing better.
@@Acadian.FrenchFry Get your blood calcium checked. I had somewhat of the same problems as you when I started treating a low vit d level. Luckily my doctor was checking my calcium before it killed me. I was only taking 3000iu vitamin d Wich is 1000iu below the upper intake limit. It will calcify your arteries and destroy your kidneys if you take to much vit d. Dont listen to the people who say it's perfectly safe to take 30 times the normal dose.
When I supplement Vit D my bones kill me stopped taking it but still suffer severe pain time will tell
Without K2 , vitamin D3 can increase too much calcium in your blood. So based on Dr Janine videos - vitamin D3 in the morning. And k2 and magnesium at night. Get your blood tested for D3 levels. Start with low levels first and give your body a break from all supplements about once or twice a week. Remember the vitamin companies also want to make profits just like pharma companies - so take supplements in moderation.
You are so right. Most doctors will not say much about vitamins, and if they do , they just say: “oh you are taking vitamins, good” but never discuss the benefits of the various vitamins, but will warn you of the “dangers” of some. Discussions of vitamins with most doctors, are discouraged. As if they seem to be afraid that they will lose patients if they take Vitamin supplements, and get well!!!! In fact when I was studying physiology in HS and College, there was very little discussion of vitamins!
I think a lot of this has to do with managed care, insurance, large venture capital health systems and treatment pathways now. 99.9% of doctors I met legitimately did get into this to help people, but are now buried under paperwork & bosses with 1/10th the medical training unfortunately.
I take 5000 units of D3 with K2. My blood level after years D was still lower than optimal range 50 to 80. Each of us are different and that is why blood work must be done.
Are you taking it with enough fat to be absorbed? On a related note, as a family physician, I had a patient tell me it wasn't until she started taking her vitamin D with fish oil did her levels start coming up. I never had a problem with my D levels, but I've been taking my D3 with K2 with fish oil ever since she shared this with me. Also, for those that can take fish oil, I have advised all my patients to do the same (ever since I learned it).

For your skin to produce significant amounts of vitamin D the sun needs to be at minimum 50 degrees elevation (higher if you have a darker complexion). For most EU and US citizen the sun doesn't get to this elevation for half the year. As for vit.D through food you would basically have to live on nothing but fatty wild fish (cultured fish doesn't feed on vit.D rich plankton so it has only about 1/3 the vir.D of wild fish). For people living at high latitudes there really isn't any way around supplementing vit.D, at least in the darker half of the year.
Regarding 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight, the recommendations NEVER state how much skin has to be exposed. There is a huge difference between 10 minutes on the beach in a Speedo or a bikini compared to a 10 minute walk in a t-shirt and shorts. They also rarely say anything about time of day or your latitude. Ten minutes in the sun in Minneapolis in November yields NO vitamin D no matter how little clothing you are wearing! Details matter.
💯
The sun must also be at greater than 45° altitude to receive enough UV.
Doctors seem to get a little irritated any time you mention seeing something on the internet. "Why did you come to me if you know everything from the internet." I've had several get very irate when when I say I want certain blood tests done.
I say
Becuz the medico-ins complex has locked up the industry so I have to. Or believe me, I would get the labs drawn without ur stinkin permission 🙄
That's because they prefer to be run off their feet by actual sick people crowding their days. You're wasting their valuable time while some poor cancer patients can't get a freaking appointment. Self obsession is not an illness.
@@cincin4515 I’m not in Canada.
@@cincin4515 So. Going to the doc short of cancer is wasting their time? Efforts to maintain one's health is self obsession? Huh. Interesting take. Although I've heard tale of a HEALTH-care system. That's just probably some lunatic's pipe-dream!
I was taking too much Magnesium supplements and ending up with kidney stones after the hospital checked my levels it was very high, So be careful with the amount you take.
Balance is key with nutrition. I am an ND. Magnesium needs are 400 mg daily.
I have heard that getting D from sunlight also contributes to Melatonin production and that might be why you can sleep better when getting outside and some sun. I also heard that the rays that produce D the best are those in the middle of the day. The rays early and late are not as good and can cause damage as the particular type of UV rays are not the best as in the middle of the day.
Midday UV rays are actually the ones in harmful levels.
To allow your body to synthesize Vitamin D through exposure to sunlight it needs to be near the middle of the day not early in the morning. (short shadow i.e. within an hour or two from the solar noon in summer).
During the winter in the U.S. you can't get vitamin d from the sun unless you live close to the southern border (Florida, Texas, SoCal, etcetera).
Great share, thank you!
But early morning sunlight has near infra red radiation which gives you melatonin. The NIR rays cannot be seen but will penetrate your clothing too. See dr. Roger Seheult on light as medicine. But to get D3 , you need exposure of stronger sunlight between 10 am to 2 pm..I live in the equatorial region, so easy to get these two types of sun radiation
So like from 9am???
I take the magnesium Calm gummies because I had bad anxiety when husband got covid 2021. He survived it just fine. So anyways, I use it to calm me down and help me sleep better.
Does it help? I’ve been wanting to try them for my anxiety,
I like that he stated you need to get your levels checked first. This is very important. Low levels are bad, and excess level toxicity is dangerous.
At this point, we know more than Dr's. The only thing I would want from my Dr. Is the test. We know a medical education is big pharma. Nice video though. Thank you.

Magnesium saves a lot of "kidney" problems unless you have a kidney failure already.
I take 10000iu a day of vitamin d. My doctor was alarmed and tested my levels and they were perfect. He tests every year and always perfect. I'm a size 14 and since it's a fat soluble vitamin, the bigger you are the more you need. Definitely have levels checked but you might find you need a lot more than you think.
This is a great point, thanks for sharing!
My naturopath has me on 10,000IU/day. Been taking it for years. No issues.
Me too. I have been taking 10000iu doses of vitamin D with vitamin K2 every day for two years and no issue.
The point that people need to remember is to get the levels checked at least once a year.
Magnesium malate is said to be the best, as you get magnesium AND malic acid out of it. Malic acid is what makes apple cider vinegar different from other vinegars. I buy malic acid as a white powder at a winemaking store; super-affordable, like 2 bucks for a bag; and I make magnesium malate by making an ultra-pure magnesium bar bubble in boiling water with a pinch of malic acid in it.
EDIT: To increase bone strength you need indeed vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin K2; but you need other things as well, such as Strontium. Our bones are like 5% strontium, or want to be, but it is also pretty lacking in today's food. Additionally, bone is not just minerals; it is also a matrix of collagen where those minerals are contained; and we stop making collagen after age 40 due to lack of vitamin C primarily, and lack of Lysine secondarily. So, taking about 6 grams of vitamin C and 3 grams of L-lysine amino-acid per day, the so-called "Pauling Protocol", is essential to bone health.
In my line of work.. hotel maintenance.. most of the staff are middle aged to 75 years old. Most are women.. and we never heard about talking health issues.. back pains or leg cramps or clogged arteries. We all eat same foods , fresh produce , cooked like its from home..sold in many pop and mom, small restaurants or convenient stores.. hundred of drinks from hot green teas to coca cola. Our body needs to exercise and lots of exercises. You can find elderly Japanese from 65 to 90 yo still working , cleaning public toilets and streets. Train ad bus stations to keep themselves alive until death catches us..
Do you all eat natto? K2 is great for bone health and generally getting calcium to the right places in the body.
@@isherwoody of course not. I eat natto rarely like once every three months. There are also who don't eat it..but we have hundred kinds of natto here. And I like the one with egg , katsuboshi or etc. Depends upon the price..the tastier it is the costlier it is.. I don't like the bitter one it's the cheapest on the shelf
Cool. I know that fermented foods in general have a lot of K2 but the root of good health is definitely in the diet and highly processed foods and added sugar are killing people.
@@isherwoody we have lots and lots of fermented veggies which I make homemade and eat everyday. Fermented veggies is very popular for younger and natto is mostly popular with elderly.we eat cakes sold in tiny slices and ice cream good only in one go.unlike there sold in big containers ..like milk and juices .. sorry
@@keikurooka5105 Fermented veggies like sauerkraut should contain some long side chain menaquinone.

I like the way you speak. Clear and straight to the point.
There is one form of magnesium you didn't mention. Magnesium taurate, more commonly called taurine. It works like a muscle relaxant. Great for PMS .
I take a mg supplement that contains 6 different kinds of mg, including taurate. Totally eliminated my PMS. Maybe it was the taurate?
It is, it's an amino acid and pretty cheap.
This explains why I would get the strangest impulse to eat cat food when I suffer from PMS
@@adm6785 what’s the name of the supplement?
@@GS-ri8vb Taurine
I will eat 5 bars of chocolate just to make sure...
Hahaha, I hear you!
That sounds like my kind of remedy too
😂👍
@@DrTomBiernacki dark chocolate has magnesium in it unlike milk chocolate is filled with lots of sugar which carries little to no magnesium benefits.
Another benefit of sunlight is the infra-red generates a variant, of melatonin, called daytime melatonin, that recent understanding shows is at least as beneficial an anti-oxidant as glutathione.
Dr. Roger Seheult did an excellent analysis video.
Great video as always Doc! Very informative. As someone that works out of the house and spends a lot of time indoors this really boosts my motivation to get out there and get some sun
If you're taking Vitamin D3 you definitely want to be taking Vitamin K2 the MK7 version. You can also get Vitamin K2 by eating cheese and butter from grass fed cows. It's not only good for your bones but it makes sure that any calcium in your system is going into your bones and not in your arteries and soft tissues. When you increase Vitamin D it will increase calcium in your system. Do your research and watch some youtube videos on Vit K2 and D3.
Thr k2was taking for 2 years.. an sometimes it was giving me extra heart beats.. it could have been my calcium intake was low or could have been low magnesium but I was taking msgnesium
So might have been wasn’t eating enough calcium an the k2 moving it caused extra beats
There is so much discussion here on vitamin K. I agree with Mike and actually came back to the posts to add a video on the subject.

Hopefully that works I’ve never put a link in RUclips before. If it doesn’t look up Dr Jamnadas and vitamin K.
@@annbarbarag9152 I guess agree means about using k2 an d3 together is essential
Ich bin soo froh diese canal entdeckt zu haben 😊.
Thanks Dr. for another valuable video. As you said here in Canada many products are fortified with Vitamin D and other vitamins. But even so many people are have deficiency of this vitamin so it is really important to get out for at least 15 minutes everyday to get some sunshine and fresh air. Vitamin D is best absorbed if taken with some kind of fat. Magnesium relaxes your muscles and have so many other benefits but it should be taken one hour before taking other medications because it can decrease the benefit of other medicines. Thanks for shedding light on all the aspects and benefits of all these vitamins and minerals and letting know it is always good to get test your blood levels before supplementing anything. Stay blessed❤
Fortified is not always absorbed
Thank you so much, we appreciate you!
My doctor prescribed D3 so I take it daily but I would rather just get 5-10 minutes of sun. I am going to have to talk to him about that and the magnesium. Thanks for the information. Have a great holiday season! ✌🏻💟🐾
Magnesium citrate is best for absorption. Goof stuff! Should take at least 2000IUs D3 daily. You will be much better off.
@@Davido50 I take 2000IUs every day. I forgot about the Magnesium. I will go look while I am thinking about it.
What’s wrong with Mg Glycinate? It’s helped a few people I know with heart arrhythmia.
As for Glycinate (glycine), I use it every night (plus NAC) to help with my sleep.
Also, don’t overdo almonds (or oxalate-rich foods), as the high oxalates can wreak havoc in your body and make things worse (See: Sally Norton, RN). Then there’s the Omega 6 issue. Nuts are high in LA, an O6. Too much will bring on back/spinal pain that you’ll regret… I know because I did just that. For me, it’s critical to keep the O3:O6 in balance, otherwise I can hardly move because of the pain.
Thank you, very informative!
I get private blood tests done twice a year.
I live in the north of England where we only get Sun and heat from May/ Oct.
My D levels are around 80.
Also, I take Magnesium Citrate at night, four times a wk.
Rarely do I get cold.

Taking Vit D without magnesium made me ill. I had what felt like mini-stroke symptoms. They came on after I started taking Vit D and did not stop until a few weeks after I stopped the Vit D (it has a long half life). Luckily I was only using a 4000iu a day spray and not the 50,000 iu mega dose my doctor wanted me to take once a week for 3 weeks. I dread to think how I would have reacted.
yeah I heard loud hissing sound for hours after a 50,000 IU vit D dose. scarey. They said no one had any symptoms with that dose. well some do have symptoms.
YMMV I take 15 000 IUs per day with no apparent ill effects. My serum calcium is mid-range though I generally limit my calcium intake to around 600 milligrams per day from diet. I do take menaquinone and magnesium glycinate as well.
I recall reading a general press article based on 1950's research that said there was quite a range of responses to this vitamin per genetics and disease processes.
The 50,000 a week dose is not vitamin D, it is a precursor that your body has to convert to vitamin d.
Thank you for posting, I had not heard of anyone who had bad reactions to it.
@@rachaelmorrow6669 Hissing when you breath ? I'm on D3 and I'm having problems breathing all of a sudden. I've had my checkup and everything is normal apart from this Vit D deficiancy. Taking
Vit 3D for a few months now and I fear it could be my problem. Reading these comments here have me wondering why my doctor never told me about Vit K2 and magnesium.
I hope its vit d3 that you are taking , It has to be d3 or it can cause side effects.
I use magnesium malate & magnesium threonate. These two forms also do not cause diarrhea.
There’s so many different kinds of magnesium, which magnesium is the best ?
Glycinate doesn't usually cause the trots.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. Mag oxide is not a great choice, only 4% of it is absorbed into the blood, rest causes diarrhea.

Taking larger does is safe unless you have myasthenia gravis, bowel obstruction, kidney failure or previous intolerance.
Can take magnesium citrate powder, mag threonate are good options. Magnesium is fairly safe!

Great information, thank you! I need to get my blood work done to check my levels, especially with regard to D3. I have taken calcium citrate and magnesium citrate for years, but just started taking vitamin D3 a couple of years ago when I started staying inside most of the time.
You might want to listen to this podcast if you are taking calcium. He not only discusses the critical need for vitamin K2 (especially when you take D3) but also studies about long term calcium supplementation and mortality. ruclips.net/video/D_UJaEZe9gg/видео.html Also, when you don't get sunlight, vitamin D3 can help replace the lack of UV light but turns out Infra Red light is also critically important for health. ruclips.net/video/5YV_iKnzDRg/видео.html Good luck.
@@lorimav Thanks so much! I had forgotten when I posted the above that for the last 5 months I have not been taking calcium citrate, because I started drinking soy milk to raise my estrogen levels, and the soy milk contains all of my daily calcium, but it is carbonate, which is not as well absorbed as the citrate. Anyway, I've started noticing that when I floss my teeth, there are gaps between them that weren't there before! So I will have to take a look at what my options are. Thanks again! 💖
Never take calcium anymore. Vitamin D is all you need to help you absorb more calcium naturally from food.
@@KH-xc5fq I took it because I ate almost zero dairy. But then I started drinking soy milk, and it contains 100% of my calcium requirements, so I stopped taking the calcium supplements.
