Hey Dr. Eric Berg, I recently started taking around 7000 IU vitamin D3 daily and I swear it’s helping with the inflammation I’ve been having in my forearms and wrist for like two years. It started helping in like a week.
I work outside and average 10000 iu a day of D for about 10 years. My last test was 3 months ago and it was 35 which barely cracks low normal. Everyone is different and we use it at different rates. Get tested and you will know what to do instead of guessing.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?

💊 If you're taking enough vitamin d and your numbers STILL aren't budging, ask to run both forms of vitamin d (25 and 1,25 hydroxy). You'll likely find that all your d is being converted to the active form, 1,25-hydroxy, and that is making your 25 form appear low. That was the case for me- I was confused why I could never get my blood levels above 49. Now I take enough to get my 1-25 to the upper part of its range and I don't sweat the 25-hydroxy number.
I have vitamin D3 5000 with K2 and magnesium and my levels been going up. Dr Livingood brand. You need that magnesium combo to absorb and eat with fatty food, because it's far soluble
@@lisah6076 I don't think poor absorption is her problem; it sounds like she's absorbing the vitamin d well if it's increasing her Calcium levels. Cofactors are indeed important though. Vitamin D helps you absorb Calcium, but K2 tells it where to go (bone, teeth) and gets it out of the blood. That's why I brought up K2 specifically.
@@TheUtuber999 No . It was really Covid 😅 My husband tested positive in the first 2 times, and my son the other times 😅 I guess cause they go out frequently more than me, they catch it easily from work or study places.

Did you say as you age the skin gets THICKER? After being in health care all my adult life, 67 years, that’s contrary to what I have known and experienced.
Good to know, people always seem scared to go above 2000 IU. I take 20,000 IU vitamin D, 300 mcg vitamin K2 MQ7 and 200 mg magnesium. So far no problems.
@@sskinedGUY I did 100,000 IU vitamin D3 for two months and then drop down to 50,000 IU for the past two weeks. Now I am going in to get my blood test to see what my levels are. Hopefully I’ll get them back in a week or two. I’m anxious to see the effect it’s had on my levels.
Just had my vitamin D checked, my doctor said it was a little low.. so he recommended taking 2,000 IU a day... I asked him if I can up it to 4,000 and he said okay. It seems I truly should be taking much more than what he recommended.

It does block it. Just maybe use sunscreen on your face and maybe expose a different part of your body to the sun with thicker skin like legs or arms to get your vitamin d
I am pretty sure sunscreen blocks Vitamin D absorption, although not completely. Apply it on face, neck, chest and maybe hands but let other areas absorb it.
Yes, sunscreen blocks vit d production. I find that even 20-30 min of sun exposure per day is usually adequate for light and medium-skin toned people (not an hour like he said in the video).
@@gutmicrobiomequeen well, clearly most people's bodies don't operate at that level of functionality for optimum absorption. If there's more interruption/inhibitors today than ever you'd assume the bare minimum for health would rise to counter the higher level of deficiency.

Dear Dr Berg, thank you for your valuable information about vit D. I live in a very warm country Indonesia and also in a very warm city which near to the sea, the weather temperature shows 33 - 38 degrees the whole day and year. Some people say we can't take sunbath, because it causes skin cancer. And the more we aged, the less absorption of all the vitamins that we take. I'm 78, is it more dangerous to stand under the sun? To tell you the truth, if we walk under the sun at 7 o'clock in the morning, we'll be already sweaty ( perspired) . Not to mention at 9.00 - 10.00 . What time is the best to get the ultra violet B in such a country? Thanks.
Jaycee Hart I have pale skin. Therefore, I get my hour of sun when my shadow is around as long or somewhat shorter than I am tall. If I was darker, I still avoid the mid-day sun but I go closer local noon. Given your age, I'll add some medications make one more prone to sun damage. I'd still try for 9:00 to 10:00 standard local time and 2:00 to 3:00 pm standard local time. Also, I try to expose my legs, back and chest not just my face and arms which too little.
Enough omega 3 has prevented skin burn for me since the last 3-4 years. Additionally to keto & intermittent fasting. So I try take 3 tablespoons a day.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take all 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?

Good day; to start with, your spoken English is clear and understandable, which is appreciated for a foreigner. Secondly, the notes to treat (in your class) are always of relevant interest, especially (in my case) when they treating about anti-inflammatories to calm the digestive tract, which is my particular "karma".

I've only been taking 5,000 IUs/day for maybe 9 months and just tested at 78 ng/ml. So think I'll stick with that now. I was at 23 ng/ml about 18 months ago on my previous text.
Dr Berg, I had gastric sleeve surgery 2.5 years ago and followed my diet to the T for a little over a year. I was consuming 60-70grams of protein daily and was losing weight like crazy...only problem, I had terrible constipation. I saw my GP and even a gastroenteritis. None of them questioned me about my diet they just wanted to put me on pills..I wouldn't take them and eventually got frustrated because I could not go at ALL unless I took dulcolax..I would take it once a week just to have a bowel movement...eventually I gave up on my diet and started eating whatever I wanted..as soon as I did that I started having a bowel movement every day because I was barely eating any protein. I said all that to say I want to get on track and was wondering if you had any suggestions on losing weight without going completely keto??
I took 20k IU at noon and I had energy that kept me up until the evening the next day. I then reduced it to 12k IU, I was able to sleep normally, because I have symptoms of hair loss, I am going to up Vitamin D3 to 12k IU.
A good source for D-vitamin, is Cod liver. Not just the oil, but the actual liver. It's still not giving you as much as you'd get from sun-exposure. On a danish nutrient data page, it says there are 100mcg D-vitamin per 100gram og cod liver.
Hey Dr Berg good morning. You should do a video about cricket flour and socalled sustainable food ingredients that's being snuck into processed foods. People need to know.

What about tanning beds for the winter months? There's contradictory information out there on the body's ability to produce vitamin D using a tanning bed. Are there any properly conducted tests on this subject?
I’m not a doctor but listened to so many and gained info. Do not use sun beds, it is so damaging and aging to your skin. Avoid if you can. You will wrinkle very early as it eats away the skin. It can never replace the sun. Take vitamin d3 as he advised with k2 tablets or be out in the sun.

Excellent info. Everyone absorbs UVB differently. Supplement with 5000iu and get a D 25hydroxy test and aim for above 50ng/ml. If you can't move the D needle you may have an autoimmune issue.
I was able to get a 20 point jump in a month by taking ox bile. Always had low vitamin d after I lost my gallbladder. That has helped big as I was taking 10k unit's and sitting in the sun 30 minutes and barely got above 40 range.
I’m just starting to use TUDCA and that’s supposed to help with the absorption of vitamin D also. It’s bile but just not ox bile. My vitamin D receptors seem to not function as properly as normal people so this is supposed to help with that problem also.
@@Freedom-Fighter1 I had been taking tudca for almost a year and didn't see any increase in my vitamin d. However it did help drastically with my liver numbers I had elevated enzymes and elevated bilirubin and along with intermittent fasting and Tudca was able to get those numbers in line. It wasn't until I started taking the ox bile that I actually saw the increase in vitamin d. You may experience something different.
@@gamingwithmrgvil3511 I might try to do the same thing also then. I’ll give the tudca a chance but if I don’t see any changes I might go with the ox bile. Thanks for the info.

Fortunately, though I live at a relatively high latitude, I also live at high altitude, so the sun is very potent here, even in the winter. We have over 300 days of sunshine in Colorado, and I leverage that-even in the winter. I still supplement, and eat SMASH fish.
Factors that can negatively affect vitamin D absorption:
• Low stomach pH
(not acidic enough)
• Gut inflammation
• Kidney problems
• Liver problems
• Bile deficiency
• Insulin resistance
• Polymorphism
• Obesity
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Low diversity of microbes
• High stress
• A low-fat diet
• Certain medications
• Inability to swallow large capsules
• Darker skin types
• Age
• Living further from the equator
• The winter months
• Low magnesium, zinc, or K2
• Not spending enough time outdoors
The best ways to boost vitamin D:
1. Get one hour of sun per day
2. Take vitamin D with fat or a meal that contains enough magnesium and zinc
3. Do keto and intermittent fasting
4. Consume more fatty fish or cod liver oil
5. Take vitamin D in liquid form
6. Consume more vitamin D (if a genetic factor is preventing absorption)
7. Increase your bile

I live in a very warm country Indonesia and also in a very warm city which near to the sea, the weather temperature shows 33 - 38 degrees the whole day and year. Some people say we can't take sunbath, because it causes skin cancer. And the more we aged, the less absorption of all the vitamins that we take. I'm 78, is it more dangerous to stand under the sun? To tell you the truth, if we walk under the sun at 7 o'clock in the morning, we'll be already sweaty ( perspired) . Not to mention at 9.00 - 10.00 . What time is the best to get the ultra violet B in such a country? Thanks.
Jaycee Hart I have pale skin. Therefore, I get my hour of sun when my shadow is around as long or somewhat shorter than I am tall. If I was darker, I still avoid the mid-day sun but I go closer local noon.
Given your age, I'll add some medications make one more prone to sun damage.
I'd still try for 9:00 to 10:00 standard local time and 2:00 to 3:00 pm standard local time.
Also, I try to expose my legs, back and chest not just my face and arms which too little.
Great question.
very good question because we have a very hot summer in Europe and have the same problem.
Enough omega 3 has prevented skin burn for me since the last 3-4 years. Additionally to keto & intermittent fasting. So I try take 3 tablespoons a day.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take all 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?
Seriously, that is just way too many things to think about :-/
Hello doctor, I have flat warts on my face, how do I remove them? Is boosting the immune system and intermittent fasting enough to remove them?

Vitamin D benefits so many things....Dr Berg's video the other day just talked about using it for growing pains!
I am a high vitamin D and K2 taker. I'd like to know why I had a lupus attack - without mentioning the obvious sugar and carbs.

Vitamin D: 10,000 iu = 250 mcg = .25 mg
Can you imagine what 600 iu is =to for mg?😕

@@lindsey8231 bruh it should be 0.015 mg
God Bless Everyone
Dr. Berg is the real Doctor.
Good day; to start with, your spoken English is clear and understandable, which is appreciated for a foreigner. Secondly, the notes to treat (in your class) are always of relevant interest, especially (in my case) when they treating about anti-inflammatories to calm the digestive tract, which is my particular "karma". If not, I follow you the same. Siempre se aprende, sobre todo cando el médico le pone vocación. You have my interest and thanks, for a couple of months. take care doc
I really needed this since I have to take high dose of vitamin D. thank you!
Glad to help!

I take 10,000 IU a day and I work in the sun. My last blood level was 54 nanograms per milliliter. That amount took my body 5 months to get this high.
I've only been taking 5,000 IUs/day for maybe 9 months and just tested at 78 ng/ml. So think I'll stick with that now. I was at 23 ng/ml about 18 months ago on my previous text.
@@sugonmaballs I’m thinking about doing the DNA test cause my levels have always been low.
What is a normal level?
@@MrsMarks 30-120 NG per milliliter, that’s atleast what my page says the min max is.
@@MrsMarks My analysis report says 30-100 ng/dL is sufficient.
Dr Berg, I had gastric sleeve surgery 2.5 years ago and followed my diet to the T for a little over a year. I was consuming 60-70grams of protein daily and was losing weight like crazy...only problem, I had terrible constipation. I saw my GP and even a gastroenteritis. None of them questioned me about my diet they just wanted to put me on pills..I wouldn't take them and eventually got frustrated because I could not go at ALL unless I took dulcolax..I would take it once a week just to have a bowel movement...eventually I gave up on my diet and started eating whatever I wanted..as soon as I did that I started having a bowel movement every day because I was barely eating any protein. I said all that to say I want to get on track and was wondering if you had any suggestions on losing weight without going completely keto??
Could you please do a video on regrowing teeth naturally and the dangers of root canal (Root Cause documentary)

I took 20k IU at noon and I had energy that kept me up until the evening the next day. I then reduced it to 12k IU, I was able to sleep normally, because I have symptoms of hair loss, I am going to up Vitamin D3 to 12k IU.
Wish Dr Berg would make a video on alcohol cravings and how to stop them 😬

A good source for D-vitamin, is Cod liver. Not just the oil, but the actual liver. It's still not giving you as much as you'd get from sun-exposure. On a danish nutrient data page, it says there are 100mcg D-vitamin per 100gram og cod liver.

Another big trace mineral to take with vit D is Boron, increases absorption
Thank you again wonderful information. God bless.
So, basically, if one suffers from polymorphism, you’re screwed. No chance of absorbing Vit D. How the heck does one get around this??
Hey Dr Berg good morning. You should do a video about cricket flour and socalled sustainable food ingredients that's being snuck into processed foods. People need to know.

This information is Solid Gold, Diamond encrusted, Platinum, silver and palladium wrapped in unobtainium! Dr. Berg is more valuable than the Golden Wedge of Ophir! This is great stuff! I really liked Dr. Berg's video on making vitamin D from mushrooms and sunshine. Now I'm always on the lookout for shitake mushrooms. Thank you Dr. Berg!

I would recommend getting your levels checked pre supplementation. Fat soluble vitamins take a long time to correct if you way over shoot your levels.

--is there any way to do it?
Thank you for helping so many people!

Dr. Berg I can’t find Manganese made from shellfish anywhere. HELP!!!
What about tanning beds for the winter months? There's contradictory information out there on the body's ability to produce vitamin D using a tanning bed. Are there any properly conducted tests on this subject?
I’m not a doctor but listened to so many and gained info. Do not use sun beds, it is so damaging and aging to your skin. Avoid if you can. You will wrinkle very early as it eats away the skin. It can never replace the sun. Take vitamin d3 as he advised with k2 tablets or be out in the sun.
I go to a tanning salon once a week and my lvl is 77ng/.. i don't take supplements beside vitamin E and zinc

When should we take D3? As soon as we wake up in the morning or right before sleep? Please explain. I work 3rd shift job so I had to ask.
Shouldn't matter.
Both
@@Drberg thanks Doc. I take 2 blood pressure med daily, did you say those medicines deplete D3? I didn’t understand what you said in the video. I take blood pressure med daily and I feel weak daily, is it D3 which I take 1000IU or B1 deficiency which I don’t take at all? Thanks Doc.

Excellent info. Everyone absorbs UVB differently. Supplement with 5000iu and get a D 25hydroxy test and aim for above 50ng/ml. If you can't move the D needle you may have an autoimmune issue.

I was able to get a 20 point jump in a month by taking ox bile. Always had low vitamin d after I lost my gallbladder. That has helped big as I was taking 10k unit's and sitting in the sun 30 minutes and barely got above 40 range.
I’m just starting to use TUDCA and that’s supposed to help with the absorption of vitamin D also. It’s bile but just not ox bile. My vitamin D receptors seem to not function as properly as normal people so this is supposed to help with that problem also.
@@Freedom-Fighter1 I had been taking tudca for almost a year and didn't see any increase in my vitamin d. However it did help drastically with my liver numbers I had elevated enzymes and elevated bilirubin and along with intermittent fasting and Tudca was able to get those numbers in line. It wasn't until I started taking the ox bile that I actually saw the increase in vitamin d. You may experience something different.
@@gamingwithmrgvil3511 I might try to do the same thing also then. I’ll give the tudca a chance but if I don’t see any changes I might go with the ox bile. Thanks for the info.
Wow, that’s great data, thanks for sharing.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take all 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?
Fortunately, though I live at a relatively high latitude, I also live at high altitude, so the sun is very potent here, even in the winter. We have over 300 days of sunshine in Colorado, and I leverage that-even in the winter. I still supplement, and eat SMASH fish.
