I did make a video on Vitamin K the past. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/pR9KN7xjxMY/w-d-xo.html There seems to be some interest on the possible side effects of taking too much Vitamin D so here are the links. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27604776/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24729336/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24246341/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26053339/ Thanks for the great comments and the support. Much appreciated. Best, Dr. Jin
Why was/is there no proof of covid transmission before the injections? Is covid actually a germ? Or is the symptoms of what they call covid just the effects of radiation poisoning and all the nanotechnology and n the food water clothes and air?? How do I cure morrgellons?
Vitamin D has RAT POISON in it why are you telling us to take it even the natural Vitamin D look up the Cholecalciferol is rat poison please explain why ???
@@bossywife333 Warfarin (blood thinner) is used as rat poison. Chocolate and grapes are toxic to dogs. Don't make decisions based on animal toxicity. Vitamin D3 is essential for the health of your immune system. You should just take D3 and K2 every day for the rest of your life. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/4wDrKxcvsKM/w-d-xo.html
@@t066917 I know about both of them so your saying your willing to take rat poison to get vitamin D. I was on blood thinners and my doc said baby aspirins . My point is there should be a vitamin D that the only thing in it is not rat poison ☠️ I can’t believe people just agree to poison there body’s and chocolate never killed my God mother dog and yes we are not dog’s or Guinea pigs well I refuse to except taken rat poison. And it’s not animals toxicity it says main ingredients is rat poison nothing else . Well GBY
Here's my question. If you know the causes, then why not work backwards when a blood test reveals low vitamin D? The causes you name can lead to more complicated health conditions, that's of course, assuming that the patient hasn't already had those diagnosis.
Great video! I took D3 15,000 IU daily from March 2020 to December 2021 and my D level went from 13 to 84 - haven’t had a single cold or any illness at all since March 2020. And I work as an RN in a busy ER and have taken care of many covid patients.
Taking 10-13 thousand iu per day last blood test 169nmol so scaled back to 8000 per day not been sick since Feb 2020 before started taking the d 👍🏻 fingers crossed 🤞 it stays that way 🙂
@@DrJinSung yes it is a lot but I knew I was starting at a D level of 13. I’ve scaled back now and do take K with it. I plan to check my D levels once a year to make sure I’m in a good range. Love your videos! I’ve been an ER RN for 18 years and we got just about zero info about nutrition and vitamins/supplements in school. Learning so much from your videos! Just wish I could get some of the ER docs to pay attention as well…
My doctor recommended 400 IU a day for D3 even though my blood test showed I was very very low. I couldn't convince her that I should take a higher dose. We live in Alaska and don't have any sun exposure for 8 months of the year. On my own, I started taking 15,000 IU per day and retested around 3 months later. My level jumped up to 64.8 level. I am now taking 5000 IU every other day and will see how that works out for the next blood test.
Low Vitamin D can cause a lower immune system. Having a high level of Vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc works to help keep viral infections from causing a problem.
Healthcare tends to be behind on science, especially if clinicians just follow guidelines rather than keeping up on literature. The 400-600 IU vitamin D is from the U.S.'s Recommended Dietary Allowances and needs an update.
You are doing the right thing! It only took You 3 months and it took me six months. I have also found taking a teaspoon of baking soda and a teaspoon of honey only at bedtime will put your PH lrevel up about half a point or more in the morning. When using the PH strips do it in the morning before you eat or drink anything and that will give you the most accurate reading. If you want to check your vitamin D level because it is not covered by OHIP ( I wonder why?) you can get ph strips at a health food store but not a drug store and again I wonder why! If your PH is 6.75 or higher your vitamin D level is fine. In Canada vitamin D3 is only available in 1000 IU thanks to Health Canada . It is very expensive to buy it like that and better to buy 10.000 units per capsule and that way there are less fillers. I wonder how the drug companies pulled that one off. I read all the studies Health Canada had to lower the vitamin D lower dose ( Thanks to a local MP ) and there was nothing that was definate and they said more study was needed. Who is going to do the study? It certainly wont be a drug company. The drug companies have known since 1945 that vitamin D is a very important vitamin. Look up 3 drugs DALSOL DELATIN and DRISNOL they were nothing more than 50,000 units of D2 and Doctors prescribed one pill a day but is a man made synthetic vitamin but it had excellent results against almost any virus and Cancer but those drugs like all drugs had some severe side effects. The only way a drug company can make money on a vitamin is to produce it on there own and then give it a name other than Vitamin D. When I did my research I found that the number one state per capita in the US that had the highest skin cancer rate per capita was not California or Nevada or Florida it was Michigan so my conclusion is that the sun does not cause skin cancer but it may trigger it if you are low in vitamin D or have a low PH ( low PH and low vitamin D are related). You will not have a low PH and a high Vitamin D level. There is more a lot more but there are some very good books out there if you know where to look. If you watch a program about vitamins and then they want you to buy there vitamins be careful. A lot of these companies know next to nothing and are only interested in a sale. I didnt intend to write a book but I guess I did!
I forgot to mention that taking baking soda and honey you also need to put it in a large glass of water and stir well! I cant imagine taking it without water!
Great information. I was horribly depressed just about a year ago due to covid stress, work stress and several other things that came to head at the same time. I took Vitamin D because I heard it had anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects. Since I've been taking it it's done wonders for me. Didn't happen overnight. Took several weeks I want to say. Been a life saver. Thank you!
Hi Pete! You might get an additional boost from cronotherapy and bright light therapy. Protect you superchiasmatic nucleus from poorly timed light. Sun yourself as much as possible. I hope you keep feeling better and better. D3/K and these other things have really helped me.
This man just gave us more valuable information in regards to health and fighting Covid-19 in 13 minutes than Fauci, the media and the political world have in 20 months.
Dr. Fauci is a brilliant and dedicated physician who has served under several presidents. Nutrition and supplements are not going to end a deadly pandemic. Get vaccinated and then work on your Vitamin D levels. Best of both worlds.
@World Travel, Culture & Natural Landscapes I find 4000 to 5000 IU safe and effective. You should check you vitamin D levels to make sure you're in the correct ranges between 60-80.
Dr. Sung, I just wanted to thank you for taking timeout to educate us. You are making a difference. We usually only get 15 minutes with our doctor, never enough time to really understand what they are talking about. I can watch, rewind, take notes and learn the very basics now because of you Dr Sung. For that I am thankful. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
I live in Canada and began supplementing with 3,000-5,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily back in April 2020. At the time, it was primarily a way to improve my chances of fighting a potential covid infection, but a couple of months after taking it, I noticed I no longer suffered from gout flares. I started re-introducing many foods that had traditionally triggered gout attacks over the previous 10 yeears, and to my suprise, there was little to no reaction. I believe that Vitamin D modulates the inflammatory response and I'm certain it is responsible for radically improving my gout. It's surpising that few physicians pay attention to Vitamin D deficiency especially for individuals that live in northern countries with little sunlight for much of the year. For me it has been a game changer.
Vitamin D deficiency isn't associated specifically with gout, but it is strongly associated with arthritic conditions, so perhaps you have some arthritis, perhaps as well as gout. Even if your vit D level has a tendency to drop, it might take over a year after taking supplements to drop to a level that will cause you obvious health problems. Unless you've had specific blood tests, you can't really know what's going on.
Holy cow! This happened to me too. My D level was 25 or lower and I was getting gout 1-2 times a year. I began supplementing with 5000 a day and I haven’t had a gout attack in a year and a half.
Thanks for a complete and concise presentation on this vitamin. Just checked my Vitamin D which was 94ng. I had upped to 10,000 IU 6 weeks before the test and was getting a lot of sunshine weekly. Thanks for sharing this message in that a lot of md doctors don't understand the importance of this vitamin. Everyone is different in how much Vit D you need to take and getting a lab test is the only way to know as you emphasized. In the winter I usually take a higher dosage due to little sunlight on the skin. Years ago when I tested lower than 50ng, I would get skin issues (itchy shins in winter and red bumps on the torso) as well as sick more often, but not anymore.
I have been taking Carlson's Norwegian Cod Liver Oil for most of my life. If I stop taking it, which is rare, I notice that I have a more difficult time with my night vision. So now, I ALWAYS take cod liver oil now because I do a lot of night driving. I also observed that I no longer need glasses for driving. I also walk at least 4 miles everyday in sunny Florida...survived Covid times now
My wife sent me a link for this video and I'm glad to have watched. I will need to discuss this further with my endo! Thank You So Much for taking the time to share this information! Best Wishes for Health and Happiness in 2022!
Vitamin D is one of the great overlooked immune-supporting compounds. For around two decades, I got sick on a regular basis, twice a year. I was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitus and usually had to take two rounds of medication to get past flare-ups, over the space of two-three weeks. Then my dermatologist, who did a deep-dive into some of my chronic ailments, put me on a D3 suppliment. Since then, it's become rare for me to go to the doctor, outside of annual physicals. I can actually breathe through both nostrils, and my sinuses drain normally. Within three days of the onset of symptoms, most would-be illnesses tend to resolve themselves.
I had bad sciatica and back pains early last year. Drs (tried 3) had me on strong pain killers (side effects) for months, talk of thyroid meds, maybe surgery. Tried chiropractor. My husband, a retired engineer, got hold of my many blood tests and xray report. Spent a day on pubmed and then told me I needed some Vitamin D3, K2, magnesium and some turmeric for the inflammation. 3 weeks later I was well and improved every day since. Oddly, didn't get a cold last year. First time ever.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 Modern western doctors are basically drug pushers and make lots of money doing that. What you wrote (and your name) brings to mind a recent "what I've learned" TH-cam episode about quality protein intake and that most people are lacking. In one point of the video it talks about how pig farmers measure the amount of individual amino acids (protein) they're feeding their pigs, yet registered dieticians do no such thing for humans and will lump poor quality plant proteins in total intake when they're usually down 50% or more on important amino acids vs animal sources. Bottom line, no one cares about your real health unless your stinking rich and pay them lots of money. Thank God for the internet and the wealth of knowledge that is available if you can filter effectively.
You are right about magnesium but you should only take it with Calcium like for example 1200 mgs. of Calcium and 600 mgs of magnesium. That 2 to 1 ratio is very important to balance things properly Calcium and magnesium help you to absorb the vitamin D.
When I learned about D3+k2 and other vitamins It really blew my mind and I wish I knew more about this stuff before because it could have prevented my wife to get severe with covid and got to her lungs and that was it, she's gone.
@@AdamSanchez-cd6wx Really sorry about your wife! Terrible thing to go through! The thing with Vitamin D3 and supplements is it usually takes about 3 to 6 months to get your vitamin D level up and then you need to keep it there. There are some good books that I would recommend. Bob barefoot has about 6 books for about $100 delivered to your door. Barefoot on vitamin D - Barefoot on coral calcium - the calcium factor. He is not a Doctor but he is a chemist but he knows how the body works and what it needs. I agree with just about everything he has written. I have about 5000 or probably more hours than that doing my own research and I know things Doctors dont. I never knew about his books until after I had looked at everything on my own and when I read his books I knew I had reached the right conclusion. His books are a must read. As I was learning no one would even listen to me when I talked about vitamins and supplements but I no longer have any fear of any virus or even Cancer and it is my opinion that Cancer is easier to beat than a stubborn virus. There are a lot of other things you can do to get to a proper vitamin d level but I dont want to write a book. If I hadnt looked into it I would have been dead 15 years ago. Actually my heart stopped so I guess I was dead! I am healthy now and I am going to stay that way.
Excellent presentation 👏 I was taking 1-2000 units a day and got a reading of 33 ... so increased it to 5-6000 a day and months later my reading just went up to 38 ... so I now take 10,000 per day and look forward to getting in the 60-80 range as you suggest. Taken with K2 and Zinc. Now subscribed to your channel ... Best wishes from 🇬🇧
@@jacobcaplan3273 Vitamin D3, K2, Zinc, Magnesium, NAC, Quercetin, Natto, B50, Vitamin C, Black Seed Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Turmeric, Cucumin, Cayenne Pepper and a few more ... not all at the same time, but Vitamin D3 and K2 daily.
Im in love.... in a positive way, I'm married.. I had a Dr who was just awesome for a lil over 20 years and he retired a year ago, me and mom cried to lose such a good Dr. I just saw this video today and this Dr reminded me of a younger version of my Dr. This is so awesome. All praises 👏 to the Most High, bless this man and his family
After listening to your video, I immediately subscribed. You explain in such a way that is easy to understand. I am so thankful for your presentation. This is exactly what I been searching for, thank you so much. You are simply amazing...we need more doctors like you!
Thank you for this, Dr Sung, and emphasizing the importance of getting regularly checked. My mother was born with rickets during a bitter Canadian prairie winter, and I'm certain that my grandmother's low Vit D levels also contributed greatly to her early death.
Great info! Thanks for putting out this video. In 2015 my naturopathic ARNP/primary care sent my blood to a special lab for a "deep dive". We found out I have a genetic mutation that affects my ability to produce intrinsic factor, thereby impacting my body's ability to absorb Vit D, Vit B12, and other vitamins. I believe that's what you were referencing when you mentioned polymorphism conditions. It gets worse with age. When I tested in 2015 my Vit D level was 10 and my B12 was so low that my ARNP said she wasn't sure how I was actually functional. It's been a while, but I think my ARNP prescribed 25,000 IU/day for 2 months and B12 injections. I fell off the wagon with my vitamins and need to get back on in order to grow hair and nails again, as well as protect my lungs (another genetic issue) and prevent cancer (family history).
I started taking vit D regularly when covid hit in Feb 2020. In Spring of 2020 I no longer had pollen sensitivity (which typically lasted 1 month). This effect repeated in the Spring of 2021.
This is very interesting, i was years ago at level 12 and had depression and many other healthproblems, after an accident with Bone Concerns which made a huge loss of Vt D .i took 4000 IU but had many cramps , then i read i have to take it with a high dose if Magnesium. this worked then. After checking, i took more (5000) Now i am a a hobby specialist for Vit D, because after my levels went better, i got my Health back..I am 60 Years now and take 3500 with Vit K 200 and 300 Magnesium per day to hold my level of 45, which is not bad. I am talking to all my family and friends to check their status and take if necessery. Thank you for your Video.
Finally, someone who can explain in simple terms, basically, what we need to know. Most physicians are more interested in sounding intelligent than getting the point across.
Real talk, I've been dealing with some harsh depression for nearly a decade now, the last month I've started taking Vitamin D3 daily while also starting to have my coffee out in the sun and having brief walks just anything to get out and I've started to feel amazing, if you're like me out there and having a hard go of it emotionally and even if it's been years like me, please think about buying some Vitamin D3 when you're shopping next it'll help so much. I'm not there yet but my god I feel a lot better on the road to recovery. Much love. I'll add, I'm not sure about the thousands per day there's many conflicting things that say it's safe and unsafe, I see that you can safely take large amounts and your body stores it but if I took 2000iu a day for a month when 600-800 is "recommended" like you say but you also say 5000 is fine idk what to believe "More than 100 micrograms a day is unsafe" but 2 capsules for me is 50 micrograms and 2000iu" what does that mean?
It is perfectly safe to take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 if you also take 200mcg of Vitamin K2 daily as well. There are formulations which combine the two, e.g. 4000IU D3 with 100mcg of K2 in one pill. Always take it with fat so it absorbs.
Thanks for the follow up info. I am a Vietnam Vet with AO exposure resulting in several presumptive conditions. I have been taking D3 1000Iu twice a day for several years now. Christmas 2020 I had COVID. I did not end up needing a visit to the hospital. My condition was as if I had a case of the flu. It did take me a good six months to regain my usual strength for a 74 year old male. Now to watch your video about walnuts which my primary suggested to take almost a year ago.
Wow, good thing you had a mild case of it. Yes, even though your dosage of Vitamin D is rather low, I've no doubt it helped you fight the infection. Thank you for your service to our country!
@@Luna_and_Miles Thank you. My reply is “Thank you for your service” since without you and many others we would not be here dealing with AO “the gift that keeps on giving”.
I don't endorse her work but Suzy Cohen said that the entire hype around vitamin K came from two papers that used it to get people over the speed bump and then stopped the therapy. These are all SYNTHETIC DRUGS *NOT* VITAMINS. Vitamins are found in food or synthesized in the body. With the full range of genetic damage of man, animals and plants the true molecules are damaged or missing.
@@vaccinefraud5570 The most effective source of K2 is Japanese Natto, which is fermented soy beans, and is not a synthetic drug. It is available with Vitamin D supplements. See Eric Berg's videos.
Powerful info. I am in the process of moving my D3 numbers up. At 2000 iu per day it has been a year to go from 18 to 25 on my tests. I have labs in two weeks and will increase to 10000 units to see if there is an impact. Thank you so much
Just had my vitamin D levels checked...75ng...I'm 69...I take 10,000 units a day..my dr says that is too much, but the blood work document says D should be between 30ng and 100ng.. All I know is I never have a cold...I have never got a flu shot because I have only had the flu once in my life and I was 25 then, 43 years ago...I take my Vitamin D with K².
Most doctors know next to nothing about vitamins and supplements and if you ask them how many hours of training they got in med school on vitamins and supplements it was only 4 or 5 hours thats it! I have researched it for about 5000 hours!
You need to find a new doctor. Clearly. Most doctors just look up what the normal protocol is and go with it whatever it is for everything. That protects them from lawsuits.
@@spartanx169x I agree with you ! Most Doctors know nothing about vitamins and supplements and only get 4 or 5 hours of training on vitamins and supplements in med school so how does that make them an expert unless they do there own research? Sometimes people do the wrong thing because they are taught the wrong thing and they still think they are right when they are wrong!
I really wish all this focus on VitD was happening long before Covid … such an important Vit and never once in my 67 years on this planet did ANY doctor EVER mention the importance of this inexpensive ESSENTIAL Vit … WTH!!!
So true . 10,000 twice a day of D3 vitamins A C & E with k2( Mk7) I add 2,000 omega-3 because Im a mistreated 18 year challenged immune disorder suffer plus other self conflicting issues melanin skin age. Yea all those lovely energies. I don’t think big Pharma is designed to make drugs to cure nor to advise vitamins & supplements intake because maybe lawsuits from patients or lack of knowledge.yes or they haven’t found words for their investors to prove a viable path to make that change somebody got to pay for them jets & yachts right. Maybe they cannot to afford the scientist or the scientist 👩🔬 need that job for10 more years to pay their university bill or their investors are contracted in responsibilities to other supporters. Who knows it is just messy. The doctors and big Pharma have brung us a long way they do good work in many situations. Us people who are healthy enough to read understand and act for self is wonderful. I’m been struggling to do the same. Let’s be thankful we so many that have compassion to do videos to help us. I appreciate the knowledge at 67 I’m love the opportunity to trust my intuition push myself out of low energy. lol being kind to or Doctors & big Pharma maybe they will come around to help us get better vitamins & supplements because some of these brands are toxic. Light & love my sisters &brothers
Yep. 20 years since I've had a mild autoimmune disease, annual blood tests visiting numerous docs, never once has a doc mentioned it. I've started taking it (with some other things like NAC) and I'm feeling better than in ages.
Good information. If it is possible could you increase the volume. I can always turn the volume down, but I have it maxed and can barely hear your message, right?
For the last 3 yrs I've been trying to raise my D level after watching Patrick Theut"s videos on The vitamin that reversed my heart disease . I take 30,000 daily in the summer and 40,000 in the winter , I live in Michigan, and my labs came back and D levels went from mid 30s to 75 . shorty after in September I got Covid , I sounded nasally so i went for a test,,, came back positive, first week no other symptoms , second week back discomfort and very tiered along with loss of taste and smell . I truly believe i fought it so well because of D3 , I also take Patricks Theut"s Consentrated K and now my levels are 120 , feel great and no more allergies, colds and so many other benefits.
I dont remember the exact amount of time on 30,000, but i started on 10,000 went to 20,000 then few weeks in between each adjustment just because I know that to much when your low on magnesium can cause heart palputations , but it was a routine physical that i seen D levels at 34 . if i where to guess about 3 to 4 months , then when I seen it was in the 70s I uped it to 30,000 . I get blood work done every six months ,last one was 120 on my D3. my wife was in the 30s and she is at the beach all the time , so she went to 10,000 and now its in the 60s now shes on 20,000. she wants her levels at 75 to 80. Im due for another blood work but ive been bouncing around with the doses lately because im low on Mag. oh ya my Dr said my D3 at 120 was toxic , I laughed.
I have Ankylosing Spondalitis. For the past 10 years I've taken an average of 6,000 - 9,000 IU's of D3 a day. Vitamin D3 has helped me out immensely. I am 59 years old and overweight. I breezed through Covid because of this incredible gift of Bottled Sunlight. Great Video, thanks very much. North Ontario Canada.
Doctor, I wish you were my primary care physician. Mine just pushes tests that can expose me to radiation, and drugs, particularly statins which I have refused to take. I also ditched drugs prescribed by my cardiologist, Diovan being one of them. Later I found out that Diovan, an ARB, causes lung cancer.
thank you so much for giving us up to date information. My doctor asked me not to take over 1000iu (in case of too much Vit D) even though my blood work was only 15 ng/ml. Saying that 1000 iu is the recommended dosage. Happy I saw your video to understand the whole picture.
Thank you! Very informative! Possibly it's my own computer, but can you turn up the VOLUME of your microphone so that TH-cam can adjust its volume in each video? Mine is cranked up to the max and I can barely hear the video. Maybe it's the room you record it in?
I had been taking a maintenance dose 5,000 IU/day of D3 for several years, changed endocrinologist (hypothyroid) and new endocrinologist strongly advised that I cut down my Vit D3, as in his opinion it was too high and worried about potential for kidney stones. This is a complete turn around from my previous doc, who was always stressing vit D3.
Found a study on this: "a study of 2,012 participants - published in the American Journal of Public Health -found no statistically relevant association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D) serum level in the range of 20 to 100 ng/mL and the incidence of kidney stones." Allot of studies show positives. And we know so many people are lacking D. Maby you could tell your doctor about this study, maby he can explain why he is worried?
Dr. Sung has a video about this as well (possible Vitamin D side effects). The bottom line is - it is almost impossible to "overdose" on vitamin D. It's one of the "friendliest" vitamins out there. I think out of 140,000 who supplemented high daily dosages - only one had some poisoning and his levels were way above 200 ng/ml. There are many who recommend taking Vitamin D with Vitamin K2 and a healthy source of fat, and of course drink plenty of water (and no coffee or tea as caffeine and tannins disrupt our body's ability to absorb nutrients). Best time of day to supplement with vitamin D is probably mid-day with a meal (early morning less effective and evening - it could cause a mild form of insomnia).
After reading the study from American Journal of Pulbic Health that higher D3 levels DO NOT CAUSE KIDNEY STONES in the levels of 20-100 ng/ml I gave the article to my endocrinologist, asked him where he got his info that D3 above 60 causes kidney stones. Not surprising, his answer: “that is what we were taught in medical school”.
Norman Huefner This shouldn't be a concern if you take it along with vitamin C. I take Vitamin C crystals, ascorbic acid, along with calcium from marine algae.
From 9:20 on, describes my situation... I was tested six years ago for several symptoms that are associated with Vitamin D deficiency and found to be down at 9ng/ML. I had a course of several injections of D at very high levels. After 4 months was retested and was at 69ng/ML. I currently take 3,000 IU as a maintenance dose daily over and above anything absorbed from sun and food. I live in Texas, so have lots of sun, but of course, need to balance against the risk of skin cancer. My PCP has me do a yearly blood panel and specifically checks for Vitamin D levels. So far, all is normal, but I do wonder how many people simply never get tested for this and suffer the often subtle symptoms? Could this explain many of the muscle and bone aches and pains so many complain of as they age, thereby reducing the quality of life they have?
My family and I (we are in Scotland) had that bad cold (not covid) last month, my mother is elderly and got a chest infection with it my brother type 1 diabetic had chesty cough also, I take vitamin c, d and zinc I got the sore throat and poring nose but it didn't go into my chest like it did to them, take from it what you will but I believe taking those vitamins helped immensely.
Most of my VD intake comes from being outside almost everyday for an hour to two from walking/jogging. I don’t know if that plays a part in the fact that I hardly ever get sick.
It is said you should also take vit k, zinc and magnesium to help your body absorb the vit d. The doctor should have said this, but didn’t. Also take all of these with a big meal. Not a snack.
@@littledancingfawn are you a doctor? I don't mean that in a smart ass way. Was just wondering.I also take vitamin d and zinc.and your right about what you said.
Excellent video that explains vitamin D the correct way. A little tip for people over 40 or maybe if your galbladder is compromised. Take your D in liquid form,its usually in olive oil. If you add 6 drops in an ounce of water, that's 6000 iu, then add 3 drops of an oil of orange. This will emulsify the D and turn the big drops into tiny drops which makes it very easy for the body to absorb.
Thank you. Dr Ryan Cole (pathologist) recommends 1,000 iu of vitamin D per 15 kg of body weight. I've been taking it with other things from the FLCCC Alliance i-recover treatment protocol, with good effect, for post Covid v*X injuries (long haulers' syndrome).
@@retrowrath9374 yes if we had all the good stuff on Earth God grew for us, you are absolutely correct. Bug Pharma at work. Why all these allergies in kids? No one investigates the cause, just blows it off.
@@DrJinSung your presentation about Berberine was excellent! Thank you so match. And the B6; I was so happy that you teach us how to look at blood monster's, because my family doctor is not looking good, I have to tell her often that there are thing's going wrong, I have Crohn so my iron and vitamins are often not good. I can let my family watch the B6 video from you and I hope she learn something from it. Again, Thank you so match! Greetings from the Netherlands
I have comorbities so I was very nervous about getting Covid. My husband & I both contracted it but he was much sicker than I was and I honestly believe it’s because I’ve taken 5,000 OU of Vitamin D along with K2, Zinc, and Vitamin C. He had been taking them early in the pandemic but quit. He has no medical issues. Still he was the sickest.
If you have not already, cut all the sugar and carbs out of your diet. You will see a marked improvement in your health. Its hard to cut them out and it sucks for about a month, but gets easier. Within 3 months you will feel like a different person.
In early 2019 influenzaB swept Wisconsin. I am very healthy but got dangerously ill. My D was in single digits. so started 10k units D3/day. when I got covid it was mild.
@@georgewagner7787 I don’t know much about the no carb diet except it’s no sugar. I could do that maybe but I don’t understand how fruit is bad for you since it isn’t refined sugar. I need to do some research on that.
Dr Sung, I had a total Proctocolectomy a few years ago, 5 feet of my colon was removed. Due to this procedure, would I be correct to think that any vitamins would not be absorbed as effectively and properly? My digestive system has been highly compromised and wonder if any vitamins would be properly absorbed.
Sunlight. Sunlight. Sunlight. if your ileocecal valve/appendix were removed then your ability to re-absorb B12 has been reduced by about 95%. If no physician ever warned you of this danger then they are negligent fools. I can't paste links because I'm in a Band with Shade Does. Adenosylcobalamin is the active sublingual form that might stem the tide of new catastrophies.
@@vaccinefraud5570 Thank you for your reply and info. Yes, both were removed, it explains a lot after all these years of suffering. I was told by my dr that my B12 was dangerously low, he advised to just eat more vegetable. I eat healthy, the problem none of the food I eat gets properly digested and broken down. I will look into the Adenosylcobalmin. I have been a victim of pharma for 20+ years, resulted in many illnesses and surgeries. I cleaned myself out from all the meds, I am totally free from all the poisons and now doing my best to heal my body.
@@mariamadsen7071 Good for you getting rid of all of the parasites called MDs. Danger comes in the form of demyelination of the brain stem and nerves. I followed the idiot advice of gurus by taking hydroxy and methyl cobalamin forms but if you are unable to convert to the active form for multiple reasons you will STILL be dangerously deficient. If you are interested you can find my email on my ABOUT tab on my channel and I would be happy to share links regarind B12 that are covered by no one else in alternative medicine such as Cyanocobalamin the typical injected form being an industrial toxin that can provoke autoimmunity just from being injected... The system will not allow me to post links in comments. All the best.
I absolutely agree, I take 5,000iu summer and 7,000iu the rest of the year and have raised my level from 20-29 up to 70mg/mg. I have also crushed both the original C-19 virus in Jan '21 and Omicron two weeks ago. Both infections lasted less than 18 hours each and I have no residual effects other than natural immunity. I am unvaxed, chubby, 77 YO, and have COPD. There is some new data suggesting that a D25 hydroxy level of 50ng/mg or higher has better efficacy against C-19 than any of the vaccines.
There is A LOT of data from around the world that good vit D level wars off severe covid disease. Virtually nobody over 50ng/ml got severely sick and almost nobody w/Good vit D level was even hospitalized once the initial panicky response died down.
@@EngineerMikeF Lake Don Pedro here. May go to Diamond Springs sometime B 4 New Years. I didn't want to confuse my first post with too much info, but I have also been taking weekly doses of ivermectin for a year + 2 days. What kind of engineer? PS: Merry Christmas to you & yours!
The VA Cardiologist recommended I take 2-4000 IU daily. My last blood test showed my Vit D level at 58. They then told me to stop taking it. I haven’t gotten the flu or COVID since I took 4000 IU daily. Dropped down to 2000 IU and now having flu like symptoms. I believe our medical professionals have a few screws loose. Should I increase my dosage back to 4000 IU daily.
Guys this is very important. Every year I’ve been taking Vitamin D and my blood test still showed that I was deficient. A lot of us have problems absorbing Vitamin D from over the counter Supplements and not even know it. I was taking over 5000 IU daily and still was not absorbing. It is not about quantity with these supplements it is quality. My doctor prescribed Luxa-D which is a lot better for absorption. Speak to your doctor. I’ve been taking it for the past 2 months and I no longer get any migraines. Also feel great overall and can work out longer and more often and get less muscle pain
This is a no brainer. Everyone should buy pharmaceutical grade supplements (which are 99% pure). Food grade supplements are not regulated. A great brand to try is Designs for Health.

And it’s not animals toxicity it says main ingredients is rat poison nothing else . Well GBY
Here's my question. If you know the causes, then why not work backwards when a blood test reveals low vitamin D? The causes you name can lead to more complicated health conditions, that's of course, assuming that the patient hasn't already had those diagnosis.
Great video! I took D3 15,000 IU daily from March 2020 to December 2021 and my D level went from 13 to 84 - haven’t had a single cold or any illness at all since March 2020. And I work as an RN in a busy ER and have taken care of many covid patients.
15000IU is a lot. Glad you checked your levels to make sure it's in the correct range.
@@DrJinSung hello and thank you. Please reply what are symptoms of too high from taking too much D3 ? What damage done Dr?
Taking 10-13 thousand iu per day last blood test 169nmol so scaled back to 8000 per day not been sick since Feb 2020 before started taking the d 👍🏻 fingers crossed 🤞 it stays that way 🙂
@@shantishanti1949 Good question. I thought the same.
@@DrJinSung yes it is a lot but I knew I was starting at a D level of 13. I’ve scaled back now and do take K with it. I plan to check my D levels once a year to make sure I’m in a good range. Love your videos! I’ve been an ER RN for 18 years and we got just about zero info about nutrition and vitamins/supplements in school. Learning so much from your videos! Just wish I could get some of the ER docs to pay attention as well…
My doctor recommended 400 IU a day for D3 even though my blood test showed I was very very low. I couldn't convince her that I should take a higher dose. We live in Alaska and don't have any sun exposure for 8 months of the year. On my own, I started taking 15,000 IU per day and retested around 3 months later. My level jumped up to 64.8 level. I am now taking 5000 IU every other day and will see how that works out for the next blood test.
High dose vit d is fine as long as you also add in it's cofactors.
Boron
Zinc
Beta carotene
Emu oil
B 100
Magnesium
K2
CoQ10
Low Vitamin D can cause a lower immune system. Having a high level of Vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc works to help keep viral infections from causing a problem.
Healthcare tends to be behind on science, especially if clinicians just follow guidelines rather than keeping up on literature. The 400-600 IU vitamin D is from the U.S.'s Recommended Dietary Allowances and needs an update.
You are doing the right thing! It only took You 3 months and it took me six months. I have also found taking a teaspoon of baking soda and a teaspoon of honey only at bedtime will put your PH lrevel up about half a point or more in the morning. When using the PH strips do it in the morning before you eat or drink anything and that will give you the most accurate reading. If you want to check your vitamin D level because it is not covered by OHIP ( I wonder why?) you can get ph strips at a health food store but not a drug store and again I wonder why! If your PH is 6.75 or higher your vitamin D level is fine. In Canada vitamin D3 is only available in 1000 IU thanks to Health Canada . It is very expensive to buy it like that and better to buy 10.000 units per capsule and that way there are less fillers. I wonder how the drug companies pulled that one off. I read all the studies Health Canada had to lower the vitamin D lower dose ( Thanks to a local MP ) and there was nothing that was definate and they said more study was needed. Who is going to do the study? It certainly wont be a drug company. The drug companies have known since 1945 that vitamin D is a very important vitamin. Look up 3 drugs DALSOL DELATIN and DRISNOL they were nothing more than 50,000 units of D2 and Doctors prescribed one pill a day but is a man made synthetic vitamin but it had excellent results against almost any virus and Cancer but those drugs like all drugs had some severe side effects. The only way a drug company can make money on a vitamin is to produce it on there own and then give it a name other than Vitamin D. When I did my research I found that the number one state per capita in the US that had the highest skin cancer rate per capita was not California or Nevada or Florida it was Michigan so my conclusion is that the sun does not cause skin cancer but it may trigger it if you are low in vitamin D or have a low PH ( low PH and low vitamin D are related). You will not have a low PH and a high Vitamin D level. There is more a lot more but there are some very good books out there if you know where to look. If you watch a program about vitamins and then they want you to buy there vitamins be careful. A lot of these companies know next to nothing and are only interested in a sale. I didnt intend to write a book but I guess I did!
I forgot to mention that taking baking soda and honey you also need to put it in a large glass of water and stir well! I cant imagine taking it without water!
Great information. I was horribly depressed just about a year ago due to covid stress, work stress and several other things that came to head at the same time. I took Vitamin D because I heard it had anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects. Since I've been taking it it's done wonders for me. Didn't happen overnight. Took several weeks I want to say. Been a life saver. Thank you!
That's great to here Pete, i'm in the same boat and have already started to see an improvement in my depression too.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting.
Hi Pete! You might get an additional boost from cronotherapy and bright light therapy. Protect you superchiasmatic nucleus from poorly timed light. Sun yourself as much as possible. I hope you keep feeling better and better. D3/K and these other things have really helped me.
This man just gave us more valuable information in regards to health and fighting Covid-19 in 13 minutes than Fauci, the media and the political world have in 20 months.

@World Travel, Culture & Natural Landscapes I find 4000 to 5000 IU safe and effective. You should check you vitamin D levels to make sure you're in the correct ranges between 60-80.

Dr. Sung, I just wanted to thank you for taking timeout to educate us. You are making a difference.

I can watch, rewind, take notes and learn the very basics now because of you Dr Sung. For that I am thankful. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

I live in Canada and began supplementing with 3,000-5,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily back in April 2020. At the time, it was primarily a way to improve my chances of fighting a potential covid infection, but a couple of months after taking it, I noticed I no longer suffered from gout flares. I started re-introducing many foods that had traditionally triggered gout attacks over the previous 10 yeears, and to my suprise, there was little to no reaction. I believe that Vitamin D modulates the inflammatory response and I'm certain it is responsible for radically improving my gout. It's surpising that few physicians pay attention to Vitamin D deficiency especially for individuals that live in northern countries with little sunlight for much of the year. For me it has been a game changer.
This is really interesting as my mom suffered from gout and we didn't know how to improve. Typical prescription meds were not working.
fantastic! my best friend suffered from terrible gout. i'll have to tell him about this.
Vitamin D deficiency isn't associated specifically with gout, but it is strongly associated with arthritic conditions, so perhaps you have some arthritis, perhaps as well as gout. Even if your vit D level has a tendency to drop, it might take over a year after taking supplements to drop to a level that will cause you obvious health problems. Unless you've had specific blood tests, you can't really know what's going on.
Holy cow! This happened to me too. My D level was 25 or lower and I was getting gout 1-2 times a year. I began supplementing with 5000 a day and I haven’t had a gout attack in a year and a half.
@@Mike-nq3lq wow, that’s amazing!
Thanks for a complete and concise presentation on this vitamin. Just checked my Vitamin D which was 94ng. I had upped to 10,000 IU 6 weeks before the test and was getting a lot of sunshine weekly. Thanks for sharing this message in that a lot of md doctors don't understand the importance of this vitamin. Everyone is different in how much Vit D you need to take and getting a lab test is the only way to know as you emphasized. In the winter I usually take a higher dosage due to little sunlight on the skin. Years ago when I tested lower than 50ng, I would get skin issues (itchy shins in winter and red bumps on the torso) as well as sick more often, but not anymore.
I have been taking Carlson's Norwegian Cod Liver Oil for most of my life. If I stop taking it, which is rare, I notice that I have a more difficult time with my night vision. So now, I ALWAYS take cod liver oil now because I do a lot of night driving. I also observed that I no longer need glasses for driving. I also walk at least 4 miles everyday in sunny Florida...survived Covid times now
try taking krill oil i believe its more healthier and more effective
Be advised with cod liver oil as some brands have very high mercury levels

Vitamin D is one of the great overlooked immune-supporting compounds. For around two decades, I got sick on a regular basis, twice a year. I was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitus and usually had to take two rounds of medication to get past flare-ups, over the space of two-three weeks. Then my dermatologist, who did a deep-dive into some of my chronic ailments, put me on a D3 suppliment. Since then, it's become rare for me to go to the doctor, outside of annual physicals. I can actually breathe through both nostrils, and my sinuses drain normally. Within three days of the onset of symptoms, most would-be illnesses tend to resolve themselves.
I had bad sciatica and back pains early last year. Drs (tried 3) had me on strong pain killers (side effects) for months, talk of thyroid meds, maybe surgery. Tried chiropractor. My husband, a retired engineer, got hold of my many blood tests and xray report. Spent a day on pubmed and then told me I needed some Vitamin D3, K2, magnesium and some turmeric for the inflammation. 3 weeks later I was well and improved every day since. Oddly, didn't get a cold last year. First time ever.
Engineers have a much more scientific approach to problems than doctors.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742
Modern western doctors are basically drug pushers and make lots of money doing that. What you wrote (and your name) brings to mind a recent "what I've learned" TH-cam episode about quality protein intake and that most people are lacking. In one point of the video it talks about how pig farmers measure the amount of individual amino acids (protein) they're feeding their pigs, yet registered dieticians do no such thing for humans and will lump poor quality plant proteins in total intake when they're usually down 50% or more on important amino acids vs animal sources. Bottom line, no one cares about your real health unless your stinking rich and pay them lots of money. Thank God for the internet and the wealth of knowledge that is available if you can filter effectively.
Engineers have a direct and logical approach to everything. Even doctors are surprised when discussing with them sometimes.
I've been not getting colds since using D3. It's good to back up with vitamin K2.
You could buy at health good store, or try natto
It is important to take Vitamin K-2 while supplementing with D-3. There is a lot of research out there to support this. Magnesium is also important.
Correct. My understanding is for every 10000iu of Vit D, you need 100mcg of Vit K2-7 (MenaQ7)
Potassium is a vital member of the dietary needs... along with zinc....too much of either have bad side effects
You are right about magnesium but you should only take it with Calcium like for example 1200 mgs. of Calcium and 600 mgs of magnesium. That 2 to 1 ratio is very important to balance things properly Calcium and magnesium help you to absorb the vitamin D.
When I learned about D3+k2 and other vitamins It really blew my mind and I wish I knew more about this stuff before because it could have prevented my wife to get severe with covid and got to her lungs and that was it, she's gone.
@@AdamSanchez-cd6wx Really sorry about your wife! Terrible thing to go through! The thing with Vitamin D3 and supplements is it usually takes about 3 to 6 months to get your vitamin D level up and then you need to keep it there. There are some good books that I would recommend. Bob barefoot has about 6 books for about $100 delivered to your door. Barefoot on vitamin D - Barefoot on coral calcium - the calcium factor. He is not a Doctor but he is a chemist but he knows how the body works and what it needs. I agree with just about everything he has written. I have about 5000 or probably more hours than that doing my own research and I know things Doctors dont. I never knew about his books until after I had looked at everything on my own and when I read his books I knew I had reached the right conclusion. His books are a must read. As I was learning no one would even listen to me when I talked about vitamins and supplements but I no longer have any fear of any virus or even Cancer and it is my opinion that Cancer is easier to beat than a stubborn virus. There are a lot of other things you can do to get to a proper vitamin d level but I dont want to write a book. If I hadnt looked into it I would have been dead 15 years ago. Actually my heart stopped so I guess I was dead! I am healthy now and I am going to stay that way.
Excellent presentation 👏
I was taking 1-2000 units a day and got a reading of 33 ... so increased it to 5-6000 a day and months later my reading just went up to 38 ... so I now take 10,000 per day and look forward to getting in the 60-80 range as you suggest. Taken with K2 and Zinc. Now subscribed to your channel ... Best wishes from 🇬🇧

Awesome explanation, Thank you for teaching us. I am with you.
Thank you for this, Dr Sung, and emphasizing the importance of getting regularly checked. My mother was born with rickets during a bitter Canadian prairie winter, and I'm certain that my grandmother's low Vit D levels also contributed greatly to her early death.
Great info! Thanks for putting out this video. In 2015 my naturopathic ARNP/primary care sent my blood to a special lab for a "deep dive". We found out I have a genetic mutation that affects my ability to produce intrinsic factor, thereby impacting my body's ability to absorb Vit D, Vit B12, and other vitamins. I believe that's what you were referencing when you mentioned polymorphism conditions. It gets worse with age. When I tested in 2015 my Vit D level was 10 and my B12 was so low that my ARNP said she wasn't sure how I was actually functional. It's been a while, but I think my ARNP prescribed 25,000 IU/day for 2 months and B12 injections. I fell off the wagon with my vitamins and need to get back on in order to grow hair and nails again, as well as protect my lungs (another genetic issue) and prevent cancer (family history).
I started taking vit D regularly when covid hit in Feb 2020. In Spring of 2020 I no longer had pollen sensitivity (which typically lasted 1 month). This effect repeated in the Spring of 2021.
This is very interesting, i was years ago at level 12 and had depression and many other healthproblems, after an accident with Bone Concerns which made a huge loss of Vt D .i took 4000 IU but had many cramps , then i read i have to take it with a high dose if Magnesium. this worked then. After checking, i took more (5000) Now i am a a hobby specialist for Vit D, because after my levels went better, i got my Health back..I am 60 Years now and take 3500 with Vit K 200 and 300 Magnesium per day to hold my level of 45, which is not bad. I am talking to all my family and friends to check their status and take if necessery. Thank you for your Video.
Really appreciate how you explained this better than my doctor could.
Me too. My doctor doesn't spend more than 5 min. with me on a visit and he's on to another.
Finally, someone who can explain in simple terms, basically, what we need to know. Most physicians are more interested in sounding intelligent than getting the point across.
Real talk, I've been dealing with some harsh depression for nearly a decade now, the last month I've started taking Vitamin D3 daily while also starting to have my coffee out in the sun and having brief walks just anything to get out and I've started to feel amazing, if you're like me out there and having a hard go of it emotionally and even if it's been years like me, please think about buying some Vitamin D3 when you're shopping next it'll help so much. I'm not there yet but my god I feel a lot better on the road to recovery. Much love.
I'll add, I'm not sure about the thousands per day there's many conflicting things that say it's safe and unsafe, I see that you can safely take large amounts and your body stores it but if I took 2000iu a day for a month when 600-800 is "recommended" like you say but you also say 5000 is fine idk what to believe "More than 100 micrograms a day is unsafe" but 2 capsules for me is 50 micrograms and 2000iu" what does that mean?
It is perfectly safe to take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 if you also take 200mcg of Vitamin K2 daily as well. There are formulations which combine the two, e.g. 4000IU D3 with 100mcg of K2 in one pill. Always take it with fat so it absorbs.
That's a great story Willow, i've just started taking 6,000 D3 iu daily for only over a week, and my depression is lifting already.

What about K2 supplementation to prevent calcification issues and also help with absorption of Vit D3?
Are you asking a question or just saying something that you already know?
I don't endorse her work but Suzy Cohen said that the entire hype around vitamin K came from two papers that used it to get people over the speed bump and then stopped the therapy. These are all SYNTHETIC DRUGS *NOT* VITAMINS. Vitamins are found in food or synthesized in the body. With the full range of genetic damage of man, animals and plants the true molecules are damaged or missing.

So true . 10,000 twice a day of D3 vitamins A C & E with k2( Mk7) I add 2,000 omega-3 because Im a mistreated 18 year challenged immune disorder suffer plus other self conflicting issues melanin skin age. Yea all those lovely energies.
I don’t think big Pharma is designed to make drugs to cure nor to advise vitamins & supplements intake because maybe lawsuits from patients or lack of knowledge.yes or they haven’t found words for their investors to prove a viable path to make that change somebody got to pay for them jets & yachts right. Maybe they cannot to afford the scientist or the scientist 👩🔬 need that job for10 more years to pay their university bill or their investors are contracted in responsibilities to other supporters. Who knows it is just messy. The doctors and big Pharma have brung us a long way they do good work in many situations. Us people who are healthy enough to read understand and act for self is wonderful. I’m been struggling to do the same. Let’s be thankful we so many that have compassion to do videos to help us. I appreciate the knowledge at 67 I’m love the opportunity to trust my intuition push myself out of low energy. lol being kind to or Doctors & big Pharma maybe they will come around to help us get better vitamins & supplements because some of these brands are toxic. Light & love my sisters &brothers
Yep. 20 years since I've had a mild autoimmune disease, annual blood tests visiting numerous docs, never once has a doc mentioned it. I've started taking it (with some other things like NAC) and I'm feeling better than in ages.
And now Vit D test is no longer covered by insurance! Go figure!
@@newgabe09 what other things did you take?
It’s not cold and flu season , it’s lack of sun season .
Good information.
If it is possible could you increase the volume. I can always turn the volume down, but I have it maxed and can barely hear your message, right?
Awesome stuff, thanks for giving us true information instead of the lies of the "doctors" on the media
For the last 3 yrs I've been trying to raise my D level after watching Patrick Theut"s videos on The vitamin that reversed my heart disease . I take 30,000 daily in the summer and 40,000 in the winter , I live in Michigan, and my labs came back and D levels went from mid 30s to 75 . shorty after in September I got Covid , I sounded nasally so i went for a test,,, came back positive, first week no other symptoms , second week back discomfort and very tiered along with loss of taste and smell . I truly believe i fought it so well because of D3 , I also take Patricks Theut"s Consentrated K and now my levels are 120 , feel great and no more allergies, colds and so many other benefits.
How is it possible that on 30.000 ui daily you have only 75 ng/ml of serum D??!!!!!
I dont remember the exact amount of time on 30,000, but i started on 10,000 went to 20,000 then few weeks in between each adjustment just because I know that to much when your low on magnesium can cause heart palputations , but it was a routine physical that i seen D levels at 34 . if i where to guess about 3 to 4 months , then when I seen it was in the 70s I uped it to 30,000 . I get blood work done every six months ,last one was 120 on my D3. my wife was in the 30s and she is at the beach all the time , so she went to 10,000 and now its in the 60s now shes on 20,000. she wants her levels at 75 to 80. Im due for another blood work but ive been bouncing around with the doses lately because im low on Mag. oh ya my Dr said my D3 at 120 was toxic , I laughed.
Dr Sung, thank you for this great video. Now, would you be able to take a look at this thing on my back?
I live in the North. Since I started to supplement vitamin D in the dark months, my health significantly improved.
it's nice to see doctors these days educated people through youtube
The absolute best presentation on vitamin d available on the internet-comprehensive, succinct, and easily understood, thank you Dr. Jin 🙏
Glad it was helpful!

I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you
Excellent understandable video..
Thanks for watching.
Awesome presentation! Thanks Dr. Sung.
I have Ankylosing Spondalitis. For the past 10 years I've taken an average of 6,000 - 9,000 IU's of D3 a day.
Vitamin D3 has helped me out immensely.
I am 59 years old and overweight. I breezed through Covid because of this incredible gift of Bottled Sunlight.

Great presentation, thank you for the comprehensive breakdown. I have been telling my family about the benefits of vitamin D for a year now.
Great content. I'm a fan ... subscribed
Dr. Jin, you’re a gem sir. 🙏🏾
Thanks for the short informational. Definitely more helpful than the general advisory
Doctor, I wish you were my primary care physician. Mine just pushes tests that can expose me to radiation, and drugs, particularly statins which I have refused to take. I also ditched drugs prescribed by my cardiologist, Diovan being one of them. Later I found out that Diovan, an ARB, causes lung cancer.
Keep looking there are good doctors out there.
@@DrJinSung in Nederland wil geen één huisarts iets geven wat niet regulier is
@@AnAn-xp8xu That is also the case here in the US with C0v1d. I understand it is getting worse for other diseases. Order meds from 1nd1a.
Allopathic, conventional doctors know NOTHING about health and/or how to reverse disease. You need to see a functional medicine doctor.
thank you so much for giving us up to date information. My doctor asked me not to take over 1000iu (in case of too much Vit D) even though my blood work was only 15 ng/ml. Saying that 1000 iu is the recommended dosage. Happy I saw your video to understand the whole picture.
Wow! You are exceptional. I have been supplementing 10,000IU's since working from home. Thank you for the amazing explanation.
Make sure to check your Vit D levels. I've seen patient's levels go too high at 10,000 IU.
Great Video Doc! Very Informative & presented in an engaging way.
Thank you! Very informative!
Possibly it's my own computer, but can you turn up the VOLUME of your microphone so that TH-cam can adjust its volume in each video?
Mine is cranked up to the max and I can barely hear the video. Maybe it's the room you record it in?
In my recent videos I started using a lavalier mic so it should sound much better. Best, Dr. Jin
I love this channel, but a good microphone would help those of us with hearing loss hear these wise words. 😊
Fixed my audio in my recent videos. Thanks for watching.
EXCELLENT presentation! Thanks for keeping it simple!
Great video Dr, we need more Doctors like you. Thank you for explaining...
I had been taking a maintenance dose 5,000 IU/day of D3 for several years, changed endocrinologist (hypothyroid) and new endocrinologist strongly advised that I cut down my Vit D3, as in his opinion it was too high and worried about potential for kidney stones. This is a complete turn around from my previous doc, who was always stressing vit D3.
Found a study on this:
"a study of 2,012 participants - published in the American Journal of Public Health -found no statistically relevant association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D) serum level in the range of 20 to 100 ng/mL and the incidence of kidney stones."
Allot of studies show positives. And we know so many people are lacking D. Maby you could tell your doctor about this study, maby he can explain why he is worried?
Dr. Sung has a video about this as well (possible Vitamin D side effects). The bottom line is - it is almost impossible to "overdose" on vitamin D. It's one of the "friendliest" vitamins out there. I think out of 140,000 who supplemented high daily dosages - only one had some poisoning and his levels were way above 200 ng/ml. There are many who recommend taking Vitamin D with Vitamin K2 and a healthy source of fat, and of course drink plenty of water (and no coffee or tea as caffeine and tannins disrupt our body's ability to absorb nutrients). Best time of day to supplement with vitamin D is probably mid-day with a meal (early morning less effective and evening - it could cause a mild form of insomnia).
After reading the study from American Journal of Pulbic Health that higher D3 levels DO NOT CAUSE KIDNEY STONES in the levels of 20-100 ng/ml I gave the article to my endocrinologist, asked him where he got his info that D3 above 60 causes kidney stones. Not surprising, his answer: “that is what we were taught in medical school”.
Norman Huefner This shouldn't be a concern if you take it along with vitamin C. I take Vitamin C crystals, ascorbic acid, along with calcium from marine algae.
Yea. Another channel dedicated to public health. Thanks Dr.
From 9:20 on, describes my situation... I was tested six years ago for several symptoms that are associated with Vitamin D deficiency and found to be down at 9ng/ML. I had a course of several injections of D at very high levels. After 4 months was retested and was at 69ng/ML.
I currently take 3,000 IU as a maintenance dose daily over and above anything absorbed from sun and food. I live in Texas, so have lots of sun, but of course, need to balance against the risk of skin cancer. My PCP has me do a yearly blood panel and specifically checks for Vitamin D levels. So far, all is normal, but I do wonder how many people simply never get tested for this and suffer the often subtle symptoms? Could this explain many of the muscle and bone aches and pains so many complain of as they age, thereby reducing the quality of life they have?
YT is canceling likes again today. I tried Dr. Jin, but it keeps deleting my like! So pleased to 'meet' you.
My family and I (we are in Scotland) had that bad cold (not covid) last month, my mother is elderly and got a chest infection with it my brother type 1 diabetic had chesty cough also, I take vitamin c, d and zinc I got the sore throat and poring nose but it didn't go into my chest like it did to them, take from it what you will but I believe taking those vitamins helped immensely.
Great vid. Gold comments.
Most of my VD intake comes from being outside almost everyday for an hour to two from walking/jogging. I don’t know if that plays a part in the fact that I hardly ever get sick.
If you can get out in the sun great. I would check your levels to make sure your at the ideal ranges.
@@DrJinSung I will. Thanks for the reply.
In decent sunlight your naked body can produce 20,000 units in less than an hour.
Why do people who work in the sun never get vitD toxicity?
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 because us melanin absorb it ⚡️
@Live Young Now Yeah I know. just wanted to provoke some thought.
We do not get vitD toxicity from sun exposure because our physiology self regulates.
thank you for putting the IU in perspective. You are a great teacher!!
I take 5000 IU every other day as per my doctor, my levels are right on target.
Your body must be very efficient. some people can't get into range taking double that.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 thats what he said, I absorbe it well as per my lab results.
Wonderful presentation, thank you for taking the time to do this!
Interesting. I have 'fair' skin and read several years ago that with my red hair, did not convert as much D as others with my skin type.
It's actually the opposite. Darker skin do not convert as well.
It is said you should also take vit k, zinc and magnesium to help your body absorb the vit d.
The doctor should have said this, but didn’t.
Also take all of these with a big meal. Not a snack.
@@littledancingfawn are you a doctor? I don't mean that in a smart ass way. Was just wondering.I also take vitamin d and zinc.and your right about what you said.
Excellent video that explains vitamin D the correct way. A little tip for people over 40 or maybe if your galbladder is compromised. Take your D in liquid form,its usually in olive oil. If you add 6 drops in an ounce of water, that's 6000 iu, then add 3 drops of an oil of orange. This will emulsify the D and turn the big drops into tiny drops which makes it very easy for the body to absorb.
Thank you.
Dr Ryan Cole (pathologist) recommends 1,000 iu of vitamin D per 15 kg of body weight.
I've been taking it with other things from the FLCCC Alliance i-recover treatment protocol, with good effect, for post Covid v*X injuries (long haulers' syndrome).
Excellent video. Thank you. Perhaps look at investing in a good lapel mic to reduce some of that echo.
Why don't doctors check or order a Vitamin D work up at yearly physicals? I always request to be aware. Vitamin D is a critical marker to know!
Alot of doctors wouldn't have jobs if we all took VitD
@@retrowrath9374 yes if we had all the good stuff on Earth God grew for us, you are absolutely correct. Bug Pharma at work. Why all these allergies in kids? No one investigates the cause, just blows it off.
Mine does. Your Dr should add the test to your yearly blood tests. Ask them to add it.

They want you to come for them for your quarterly colds. They don't want you well. This last 18 months proves that.
@@007stopjockin Agree.. I ask every time.
You also need to take vitamin K alongside vitamin D, to prevent any negative reactions to Vitamin D like calcification.

This is the real truth of Vitamin D that I have never ever found anywhere else, thank you Dr Jin 👍👍

I’ve been taking vitamin D3 at 10,000 iu daily, and have been for several years. I am guessing I’m doing something right.
Hello. Have you test your vitamin d in the laboratory ? if yes how much did you get?
@@winyoutube I haven’t had it tested, but I will request that next time I see my physician. I’m curious too!

For people who have had their gallbladder removed, is there anything you recommend they take to help improve the absorption of vitamin D?

Awesome video. This is so needed in these Covid times.
I have comorbities so I was very nervous about getting Covid. My husband & I both contracted it but he was much sicker than I was and I honestly believe it’s because I’ve taken 5,000 OU of Vitamin D along with K2, Zinc, and Vitamin C. He had been taking them early in the pandemic but quit. He has no medical issues. Still he was the sickest.
If you have not already, cut all the sugar and carbs out of your diet. You will see a marked improvement in your health. Its hard to cut them out and it sucks for about a month, but gets easier. Within 3 months you will feel like a different person.
In early 2019 influenzaB swept Wisconsin. I am very healthy but got dangerously ill. My D was in single digits. so started 10k units D3/day. when I got covid it was mild.
Please be more specific. You need some carbs for your brain. There are good carbs and bad.
@@georgewagner7787 I don’t know much about the no carb diet except it’s no sugar. I could do that maybe but I don’t understand how fruit is bad for you since it isn’t refined sugar. I need to do some research on that.

Dr Sung, I had a total Proctocolectomy a few years ago, 5 feet of my colon was removed. Due to this procedure, would I be correct to think that any vitamins would not be absorbed as effectively and properly? My digestive system has been highly compromised and wonder if any vitamins would be properly absorbed.
that was criminal negligence.
Sunlight. Sunlight. Sunlight.
if your ileocecal valve/appendix were removed then your ability to re-absorb B12 has been reduced by about 95%. If no physician ever warned you of this danger then they are negligent fools. I can't paste links because I'm in a Band with Shade Does. Adenosylcobalamin is the active sublingual form that might stem the tide of new catastrophies.
@@vaccinefraud5570 Thank you for your reply and info. Yes, both were removed, it explains a lot after all these years of suffering. I was told by my dr that my B12 was dangerously low, he advised to just eat more vegetable. I eat healthy, the problem none of the food I eat gets properly digested and broken down. I will look into the Adenosylcobalmin. I have been a victim of pharma for 20+ years, resulted in many illnesses and surgeries. I cleaned myself out from all the meds, I am totally free from all the poisons and now doing my best to heal my body.
@@mariamadsen7071 Good for you getting rid of all of the parasites called MDs.
Danger comes in the form of demyelination of the brain stem and nerves. I followed the idiot advice of gurus by taking hydroxy and methyl cobalamin forms but if you are unable to convert to the active form for multiple reasons you will STILL be dangerously deficient. If you are interested you can find my email on my ABOUT tab on my channel and I would be happy to share links regarind B12 that are covered by no one else in alternative medicine such as Cyanocobalamin the typical injected form being an industrial toxin that can provoke autoimmunity just from being injected...
The system will not allow me to post links in comments. All the best.
You are the man, that's all I got.
I absolutely agree, I take 5,000iu summer and 7,000iu the rest of the year and have raised my level from 20-29 up to 70mg/mg. I have also crushed both the original C-19 virus in Jan '21 and Omicron two weeks ago. Both infections lasted less than 18 hours each and I have no residual effects other than natural immunity. I am unvaxed, chubby, 77 YO, and have COPD. There is some new data suggesting that a D25 hydroxy level of 50ng/mg or higher has better efficacy against C-19 than any of the vaccines.
There is A LOT of data from around the world that good vit D level wars off severe covid disease. Virtually nobody over 50ng/ml got severely sick and almost nobody w/Good vit D level was even hospitalized once the initial panicky response died down.

Thank you for your very informative videos, I just discovered you and much appreciate it
The VA Cardiologist recommended I take 2-4000 IU daily. My last blood test showed my Vit D level at 58. They then told me to stop taking it. I haven’t gotten the flu or COVID since I took 4000 IU daily. Dropped down to 2000 IU and now having flu like symptoms. I believe our medical professionals have a few screws loose. Should I increase my dosage back to 4000 IU daily.
Doctor are really dumb aren’t they
Subscribed and looking forward to check your videos and the coming ones, thank you.
Guys this is very important. Every year I’ve been taking Vitamin D and my blood test still showed that I was deficient. A lot of us have problems absorbing Vitamin D from over the counter Supplements and not even know it. I was taking over 5000 IU daily and still was not absorbing. It is not about quantity with these supplements it is quality. My doctor prescribed Luxa-D which is a lot better for absorption. Speak to your doctor. I’ve been taking it for the past 2 months and I no longer get any migraines. Also feel great overall and can work out longer and more often and get less muscle pain
This is a no brainer. Everyone should buy pharmaceutical grade supplements (which are 99% pure). Food grade supplements are not regulated. A great brand to try is Designs for Health.
