Vitamin D for Weight Loss???

- Vitamin D is one of the most important supplements you can take. Without it you will never achieve the weight loss, health and longevity you want.
Many doctors don't know much about Vitamin D. Some doctors think it is silly, some think it is dangerous. It is neither, it is vital in helping reduce your chances of cancer, viral infections and brittle bones.
It is one of the few supplements I recommend because there is just no good food/drink source in the western diet.

Dr. Berry, do you recommend a multivitamin for daily use or a mixture of several different vitamins and minerals on their own and is there a specific brand I should be looking for? I need more vitamins and minerals but I'm overwhelmed by all the choices.
Great question. Sooo many multivitamin pills either have synthetic vitamins or vitamin formulations that aren't absorbed that you have to be very careful just taking one off the shelf. You can either end up taking something that isn't great for you, or that is a complete waste of money. I'll be addressing this in future videos...
KenDBerryMD Thank you for your reply. I look forward to that video!
Same here. I also have additional supplement needs since I am a gastric by pass patient 2005 with a revison in 2009.
Last time I had mine checked it was 38.6
KenDBerryMD do you recommend fermented cod liver oil for the D or something else?
I’ve been taking 10,000 IU D3 for 10 years. My initial 25(OH) was 14 ng/mL 😳 Right away, I lost a few pounds without trying and over the next few months, my (self-diagnosed) IBS healed completely. It’s life changing. Now my level is checked annually and hovers right around 90 ng/mL so I’m good to go. Your videos are fantastic and I appreciate them.
Did you take Vitamin K2 mk7 with D3 also or only Vitamin D3??
I was deficient last year, and even went on the 50,000 IU per week for a time to get it up above 30. It was 30 in November 2022. At that point, I started taking 8,000 IU per day at least 5 days per week. I had it tested again last month and it was 64. Hallelujah!!! My doctor actually took the time to send me a letter with the results and told me to keep doing what I was doing. At this point, I'm taking 6,000 to 8,000 IU per day probably 5-6 days per week...some days I get into a rush or run out and have to purchase more, but it's not so frenetic now that I'm at a good place and out of deficiency!!!
I started keto/carnivore about 3 weeks ago, and have lost about 7 pounds of the 20 pounds I gained the year before (pounds that came on taking beta-blockers for about 5 months...long story) but I truly believe that having my Vitamin D level in a good level has helped!!!
How did you get health vitamin D 25(OH) level?
If you’re still taking high VitD3 add the K2 this helps your arteries from clogging
I've been taking Vitamin D for over a year now, and (knock on wood) haven't been sick enough to be "out of commission". My level is pretty optimal currently, and I take 5000 iu per day now. I have a 26 year old severely disabled daughter, whom I am a caregiver. I started her on 5000 iu per day a few months ago and it seems her immunity is improving. Thanks so much for this information! She also has seizure disorder, since birth, and I had never heard of Ketogenic eating as a help to her brain ( and I'm a LONG time labor and delivery nurse), but have started feeding her keto based macros and I swear she is happier and more verbal!
Alicia Bratton Isn’t it amazing with the proper diet and supplements will do?
@b metrix I had it at level 8!! I'm taking 10.000iu daily with 10.000 u of vitamin A in the mornring, and I take 400ug (mcg not mg !! BEWARE) of vitamin K2 mk7 in the evening. My level is up to 60, checking it again next week.
I take 50,000 once a week .
@@emmajohnson8909 i take 50,000 twice a week
@@MegaSparkles23 K2 and Manganese both assist with placing calcium in the bones and should be taken with D3.
Do you take Vitamin D? If now then this video might help you because you need it! Share this video with your peeps...
KenDBerryMD .. Doctor Kenny, once again you have amazed me... you are the Best !!! So so much great information .
I take vitamin D3, B12 and magnesium citrate everyday.
Positive Vibe thank you so much .
KenDBerryMD I do I am on 50.000 u weekly
KenDBerryMD I just looked on Amazon and I found a good one, its an oil gelcap and d3 like you said, but rather than the crappy naturemade at the the dollar General, I found it made with extra virgin olive oil. Its about 15 bucks for 360 gelcaps. Its 5,000 iu
Been taking D3 in Cholecalciferol form. 1000IU per day. I lost 3kgs in 22 days with the same diet and workout routine.
What is that form ? Is it the best form to take ?
I lost 50 pounds after taking Vitamin d3. It's important!
My best friend, who is a doctor, tells all her patients about vitamin d, and she’s been telling them this for decades. She says exactly what you say, and you are right... they don’t teach it in medical school. God bless amazing doctors like you.
I wish I knew this years ago...before I was put on 450 mgs. daily of anti depressants. I was told that my hair loss was from stress/anxiety, weight gain from depression, lack of energy, etc. was depression. I was told that I have a chemical imbalance and that is why I am depressed, on and on....Well, I will No Longer be "Patient" while I "Wait" on my Dr. to "Practice Medicine" on me. I have been on Keto for 2 wks, had the keto flu, then a cold with a fever, whatever that is called, lost 4" over all and bounced around the same 4 lbs. Maybe this is exactly what I need to get this fat off of me, get my hair back, and start getting my self-esteem back. I have thought for years that I had a "Mental Illness" called Clinical Depression/Severe Anxiety/PTSD. Thank you Dr. Berry. :)
I hope you are well. Please get your FERRETIN level checked because the symptoms you describe are IRON DEFICIENCY. Most docs don’t run iron and ferritin panels. Hemoglobin doesn’t measure iron. Ferritin needs to be above 80.
Excellent video...i started a vit-D supplementation of 30,000 units due to critical low levels of D on my lab work. I have since lost 30 lbs in 2 months and currently continue to loose 3 lbs every two weeks.....I will keep you updated.....
Is there a Dr. like you in Dallas area?
That sounds like a script of vitamin d2. Doc use this to make sure or vitamin D levels go up fast. They go done fast also with vitamin D2. Best to take any fat soluble vitamins with fat. I believe Dr. Ken has stated that.
Frosty 8415 what brand did you take?
may i ask if you changed your eating or excercise at all ?
Frosty 8415
How about an update?
Post cancer I found My D was at 13.
I was prescribed 10k once a week and instead I started 2500 per day.
Also trying to lose weight with Carnivore lifestyle.
Looks like I need to adjust my dosage!
😮
Lawd, You're Heaven sent... You're 100% correct. This Vitamin D thing is much more serious than people realize. I just subscribed..
Thank you for speaking the truth and for giving good health suggestions. I admire your courage and commitment. Keep up the good work Dr. Berry!
I’m a relatively skinny guy, but ever since I finished my military service I gained like 10 kg. I was super strict with my diet but couldn’t shed a single kg. I’ve started taking Vit D 10,000 IUs and have lost 2 kg in a week.
Ok off to the store I go.asap. Vit D3 in gel caps taken with a healthy oil. Coconut, EVOO, avacado oil...
Really feel you should detail the importance of taking K2 with D3 in order to direct the absorption of calcium to your bones and teeth rather than soft tissue. D3 supplementation without K2 is after all dangerous in the long term.
I LOVE these videos! I’ve been doing Keto for over a year and dropped 72 lbs! Love the info you share! Also enjoy your wife’s videos!
Just found your channel because I was researching to begin keto. Fabulous content! Subscribed and will be sharing.
Recent blood work showed I was critically low on D. I'm now taking 5000 IU daily...even though my Drs office said 1000 IU (go figure). Hoping this will be sufficient to bring my levels up and promote some weight loss and other benefits.
Phoenix Rizing you'll find a bunch of videos on keto. One called 5 cheap foods, and that's cheap price not quality. There's one about who can benefit and there's several on getting started
Jane Dove I just found a 360 count on Amazon, made in the States, in oil and d3 like he recommends. 5,000iu. Its in extra virgin olive oil and for that many, $15
K2 and Manganese both assist with placing calcium in the bones and should be taken with D3.
Back in 2010 I found myself overweight, stressed, and unable to really think properly. I saw a book about vitamin D deficiency and knew it was me. I also kept getting shingles even though I stayed out of the sun. My doctor tested me at my request and I came in as being very insufficient..at 6 instead of 40 or above. My thyroid and blood pressure were off also and I was given prescriptions for both. I decided to start with my diet and elevating my D levels first. I ate organic and non processed foods only along with some supplements. I returned 6 months later never having taken any medications and everything was normal. Nutrition and lifestyle is the key to health. Now I am 66 and feel great.

I'm able to hear you just fine. Thanks for the info! I tell my daughter about your videos. She is a nursing mama and as a Nona I'm concerned for her health and the health of my grandbabies!
Dr Berry my 18 year old found out her level of vitamin D 3 was 10!! She has been very tired and has gained weight the past year even while staying on Keto pretty strict. One of our other docs said there is NO way vitamin D deficiency would cause these symptoms but I remember watching this video before!!
I wish you were in Texas so you could be our doctor!
How's your daughter doing? Was she taking vitamin D? I just took my son to a doctor because he was constantly tired and his hair was shedding...started vitamin D a week ago. Fingers crossed.
@@aprilmay1700 nope
I'm a single digit number in my Vitamin D deficiency and super overweight; I hope with this new knowledge I can start losing massive amounts of fat! 🏋🏾♀️🙏🏾😊
Any good news?
Our ancestors knew this. Even my mom remembered being given cod liver oil in the winter up here in North Idaho.
I went to the doctor 6 years very lethargic, weak feeling for about 6 months he did a quick evaluation then a full blood work up 3 days later I got a call I was flat lined with D3 levels he put in a script for 10,000iu D3 that I took I think every 4 days for a month and then got rechecked felt much better but my levels were just in the low normal so ur said okey 5,000iu daily come back in a month, I came back and was good to go this D3 is a god send.
OMG..... by accident I realized it was the lack of vit D that caused me to put on 50 pounds and not be able to lose it no matter what I had tried.
Have you loss weight and how long did it you to lose it?
What was your level at mine was originally at 14 only went up to 20 now :( i am eating exactly the right amount of calories track food intake in grams never lose weight
Vitamin D deficiency is also involved in cancer. When diagnosed, my level was 3. It now is between 70 and 90. Should also take K2.
My doctor prescribed a vitamin D supplement and it’s been so good to me, no side affects and losing so much weight. I’m losing 15 pounds per month
how much vitamin D?
Mr. Dr Berry you may not know it but you are my you to doctor and you have changed my life for the better I turned into a very strict ketogenic diet and found out that the only vegetable that I can eat without having problems after I eat 20 minutes later is an avocado I do mainly grass-fed meat fatty grass-fed beef coconut oil and butter with avocado oil you are a good man for bringing my life back to where it is and I can't thank you enough.
My magnesium was low he never told me (I saw it on my chart) My vitamin D was 17 he said he doesn’t believe in supplements 😳🙄 thank GOD I knew better. Now it’s up to 39 and my magnesium is high normal. Cuz I didn’t listen to him and took supplements. I’m in Minnesota
Angela Armageddon get a new doctor
It’s always best to trust your intuition. Many doctors think they know your body better than you do.
Your levels need to be over 50.
Hi Dr. Berry. I recently found your channel and can't get enough of the things you talk about!!! You are the most straight forward-down to earth-doctor!!! Love it!!! Definitely was not aware of the importance of vitamin D...till YOU!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I was ill for years with depression and had to take time out of my postgraduate studies at Cambridge. I started going on sunbeds and going into the garden in a swimming costume every summer; I could suddenly stand up and live again. I still get colds sometimes, but less often.
Probably from a different part of the world
My doctor said "That's Good." after I told him I was taking it....no mention before or after
Great video. I just found out my vit D is 11. I have been very tired and low energy. I’m going to start taking vit D. Thanks for this video!
Is there muscle or joint pain
I am so excited that I found your videos! I am 50 years old and I have been dealing with almost every symptom of vitamin d deficiency for years and because most doctor's I've seen are very dismissive and refuse to listen when I would tell them that something is off in my body because I am pretty in tune with my body they get defensive and dismiss my concerns, I now wait until I am so ill that I don't have a choice but to go. Most of my symptoms weren't to extreme until now, my energy levels are so low it's hard to get off my couch, I gained almost 50 lbs after I went into recovery from my addiction to pain medications and I cannot lose any of it no matter how hard I try, I have developed a severe skin condition which causes the most extreme painful itching over my entire body, I have bad intestinal problems, I frequently ache all over with flu symptoms, I am losing so much hair that it's as thin as a toddlers, I have extreme muscle cramps especially on the bottom of my feet, I have had heart palpitations but the ekgs are normal and probably more that I'm forgetting. The only thing the doctor told me was you have very low vitamin d levels start taking 5000 mg of vitamin d daily have a good day and then she walked out of the room. I do have a question for you about giving children vitamin d because my 11 month old grandson gets sick so frequently like every other week with a cold or the flu and he is so small that he is the size of a 6-7 month old of course I don't know if this is even related to a vitamin deficiency. What age can you start them on vitamin d and should they be concerned?
You can run this by your pediatrician. They are giving drops of vitamin d to babies It will help with many things including preventing autism. According to the uk 400 IU.
I have learned alot from your videos and appreciate honesty. Keep them coming
some advise taking k2 along with the d3. d3 can put calcium into the blood vessels and k2 is supposed to take it out and put it into the bones. what are everyone's thoughts on this?
you are rigth I got kidney stones cause I had vitamin d3 by itself for 3 years at that time I didn't know anything about K2 is the D3" driver"
taking it where it needs to go
not to your arteries or kidneys.
Yes I have heard K2 should be taken. I’ve been tracking my micro nutrition and seem to easily hit my K2 with natural foods on a keto diet eating animal fats, like fish eggs, butter, tallow, etc. and fermented veggies etc. I would love some more thoughts on this if anyone else knows if a K2 specific supplement is really needs
Sounds like you're a Berg watcher😜😘
I kept getting sick and something told me to get my labs taken. I was at 20! I live in Northwest Arkansas, I never thought I was in a location where I would be deficient. Started D350 once per week for a few weeks. I now take 5,000ius per day and I’m at 70.
Perfect!
that's your problem....Arkansas!
Hi Dr. Berry!
Please do a video about healthy vs. un-healthy fats.
My digestive tract is WAY too active when I eat anything with "un-natural" fats like vegetable oil and stuff like that. As long as I stick to the old fashioned natural fats, I'm a "regular" guy.
I Love Your Channel and Your Brand of No BS Medical Care!
Thanks Much & Have Fun!
Great Idea! I just added it to the list.
This is a reply to both of you. My wife suffers from over active digestive issues when she eats eggs or milk, would these fats be the actual cause?
The fat in eggs and milk is definitely the cause. Much more likely it is the inflammatory proteins in milk, and maybe in the egg whites
Ever since I moved to Houston TX, I spend less time outside because it is so darn hot here. Fortunately my doctor did let me know that I was a little bit low in Vitamin D and although I take a supplement, I can tell a big difference when I get natural light more regularly.
You are right! I haven't had the flu since I've been taking D 3 September 2018 till now, July 2019. Thank you for REAL medicine. Now, please help me on this soy crap that makes me cough when ingested? Again, thanks for the best medical advice!
Very useful information again. May explain a lot with my constant struggle...
Thank you!!!
You're most welcome! Future topic ideas?
What about with organic olive oil?
When I was diagnosed with MS 8 yrs ago I was severely vitamin D deficient. The neurologist put me on 8,000 milligrams a day. So clearly it's important.
I'm glad you're making these videos so people know they can help themselves. Not just rely on the doctors to " heal" them. That's not gonna happen.
I take a vitamin D3 and K2 mixed with organic olive oil.
Thank you Dr. Berry. I have done some inquiry into vitamin D and African Americans who routinely have strong bones and low vitamin D levels. I discovered that those with African ancestry store vitamin D in its active form not storage form. The D 25 I believe is a storage form test. Thanks.
We're not that special mushrooms also produce vitamin D when left in the sunlight.
I take 4,000- 10,000 iu a day depending on the season (very little sunlight in Alaska in the winter.
You eat 4,000 - 10,000 mushrooms! Jeez, that's a lot of fungus! ;-)
@@annaalice7042 lol 😆
I'm a little more special than a mushroom
Great video. I looked at my D3 bottle and there was Soy ! So out it goes and I will buy an olive oil source. Useful information.
Thanks for that heads up. It never occurred to me.
Thank you for being real, honest, and down to earth about your knowledge. I'm very curious about your thoughts on CBD and cancer treatment.
My vitamin D level came back at 80 & my doctor became "quite concerned" until I reminder him that was within the acceptable range. He apparently had no other patents with levels that high.

Great Truthful Doctor.... so refreshing
Vitamin D3 (10,000 iu) and Vitamin K2 with healthy fats (My favs are coconut oil and grass fed butter)
I have found out that absorption is best when taken vitamin D with saturated fat.
Love your chanel new subscriber
found out my self that I had vitamin D deficiency , I was so tired my bones were hurting so bad I did a lot of research online and thought That’s what I had , went to see my doctor I said I need to get some blood test done I think I have vitamin D deficiency he said no way you were here few weeks a go you were just fine I said please I need to get done , finally he agreed we got it done , guess what? I was way too low he was even embarrassed to give me results
This video was extremely helpful, Doc!
Dr. Berry I'm sticking with you.. I'm new to your channel but the way you explain has grabbed my attention. I feel at ease listening to you. Do you have books at book stores of yours? Thank you for being comfortable to listen to.
The first thing to appear in the physical universe was a line of hydrogen stars (Let there be Light.) We are made of the stardust that came from those hydrogen stars.
I did weight loss surgery and I have to take my vitamin d supplement very scarcely... I'll fix my ways, thanks doctor. I could watch your videos non stop.
I love your videos! You have an awesome personality which makes learning fun! Thank you
Just so you know, if you come across a patient that donates plasma and they are showing insufficient or deficient vitamin D3 levels, it's from donating plasma. I just found out in May, my vitamin D3 was insufficient. Before, I started donating plasma, my vitamin D3 levels were fine. Even though the donation center says there is no correlation, there is.
I thank God for my doctor. She checks my Vitamin D often and endures I’m good.
Would it be crazy to drive 8 hours to see you as my doctor? Keep up the great videos!
KME Thank you so much, I’m very flattered. What would you like to hear about in future videos?
I was thinking the same thing, but it's about a 14 hour drive for me. But it's so tempting.
I could too. I can't drive but there's a free service for non emergency medical flight. I used them when my previous hematologist sent me from N.Y. to the Cleveland clinic
No One lol. His office is 2 hour drive for me and he is in our BC/BS group, also. I’ve been putting off calling for an appointment for a few weeks. That’s at the top of my ‘To Do’ list for in the morning!

I’m curious what you would say about kefir.... 😎
Thanks Doctor, I can hear you fine. I do appreciate your wisdom in these health issues
My vit D levels came back low on my labs, so I started supplementing with D3. Next time I my doc, she tried to scare me about supplementing. She was completely unconcerned about my low vit D. Funny thing is that she told me that I probably won't be able to lose weight at my age. Btw, she's fat!
SoulfulVeg wow what a horrible doctor!!! I would never go back there. I have seen old people on keto losing weight all the time. Not that you are old at all! Smh. Good luck on your journey!
I would find a new doctor..
😁 She's been trying to loose weight also that's why she said that. Time for a new doctor slimer one! Go back and see her in 3 months and say "Ha! I lost the weight want some advice" 😂
I (briefly) had a doctor with an ashtray full of ashes on his desk.
Find a new doctor
What do you know about pre and probiotics and I love your videos because I believe you. Ir is difficult for me to have the feeling that someone is inteligent and truthful at the same time
Thank you Dr Ken.
Would love a doctor like yourself, but in Denmark it will be hard to find one. Because they would not be included in the accepted group and have to support themselves.
I love your humor! Another Great video!🤘
You're amazing 👏. God bless you and your family.
I really enjoy your channel and have learned so much from watching you. I wondered if you were aware how many times you assign “male” to doctors. You tell us to ask “him” about certain things. It’s not a criticism but it’s something I hope you’ll consider changing in subsequent videos.
Good information. I'm going to increase my vitamin d dosage! Appreciate your videos.
Thanks for the video, very helpful information.
4:21 I can’t wait to take my vitamin D 3 with bacon grease 😂😂
Could you please do a video on what blood tests to ask our docotors if we are 1) overweight, 2) exhausted all the time 3) difficulty sleeping 4) depressed mood? Eg. I've heard that most thyroid tests doctors perform arent necessarily indicative of low thyroid performance.
Vitamin D3 test
Shared this amazing video on FB! 😊
Hi you make straight forward videos that are easy to understand, I have a question.. what is the best multi vitamin a average person can take. I know I do not get all the vits I need. .what's your thoughts as the market is flooded..okay two questions water soluble or capsule..?? keep up the great work
Thanks for answering my questions about vitamin D.
My doctor has me on liquid D3, and she advised liquid. It was among the first things she checked on me; but I live in the great white north where everybody is D deficient. I also take a B complex, A, E and C. I have allot of health issues at this time. The general thought of the specialist is that I have non-hodgkin lymphoma. I had some extreme exposure to pesticides do to the work I did, so it is likely. I have had my fill of doctors and test now, so I have not been diagnosed at this time, and will probably never be; I will live or die with it, or not, but I try to get the immune busting vitamins in me since they seen the anomaly in the lymph. I have done the diet before back when it was Atkins, and continued ti have no weight problems until 10 years ago when everything went sideways for me. Hypothyroid, high sugar, nearly lost my feet last year... My husband and I completely eliminated carbs from our diet 3 months ago. I was desperate to get my sugar levels normal and lose weight. So, 3 months in, my husband has dropped 30 Lbs, he looks good, and I have gained 4Lbs. My sugar is closer to a safe level, but still not normal, and I discovered my toes turning black was not caused by the sugar. It is so disheartening to not only, not lose weight, but to keep gaining. I am no quitter, and I don't want to take the sugar meds, so I just continue. My spine is mangled, so I can't combine exercise because I can't walk without assistance. The lower spine damage is what keeps me from moving. Any advice you could give me to help get the weight off would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping that if I can get 100 Lbs off that I can walk again. I have discovered that I can bear up under allot of pain, since nobody in Michigan will treat pain, but when the stability is gone, it is scary. I don't want to fall down somewhere, and then somebody has to get the back-hoe to get me home.
Not easy to just find a new dr. Going through that now.
Dr Berry, my Vit D was 6. Dr put me on 100,000 IU a week of prescription Vit D2 not 3. It wouldn’t move past 21 then drop again. I haven’t been on it since he moved his practice 1.5hrs away. I have been diagnosed with fibro, RA, chronic fatigue and celiac disease. I’ve been on a Full Spectrum CBD oil for 23 months and it really helps my issues. I’m going to get some D3 today and get back on it.
I’ve just had a vitamin D blood check and my levels are 226 so it IS possible to end up with dangerously high levels.
I hope you stopped taking the supplements
May I ask how much you were taking? That seems extraordinarily high.
Does Vitamin D affect hypothyroidism for better or worse or not at all?
It does... It makes it harder to lose weight. Has something to do with insulin resistance. I'm sure there's plenty of videos and articles about it
I take 5,000 - 6,000 units per day, as I don’t get out in the sun much anymore.
and take vitamin D3 with vitamin K2
Your Awesome!
I diagnosed with a level of 19( uk) 5 years ago. It was discovered after an endricrinologist did a "kets just see" blood test. Upto this discovery my body had been battling so many infections that I had even had surgeries. He recommended exposing myself to the sun for at least 10 mins midday. After 3 months of being prescribed D3 and exposure my level came up to 56. At which point the nhs guidelines said I couldn't be prescribed it, as it was at an effective level. My Gp had been on a seminar and said she was amazed at what she'd learnt. She advised I continue with it from the herbalist. I did stop for a while, my hair started shedding i was having the pains shooting up the centres of my leg bones and I started getting infections again. This was enough to make me realise how beneficial vit D is. I was so glad i was on it during covid.
Just found you I love your videos!! So informative,,,, unlike my old Dr !thank u
This information had been missing for a long time until now.
Best dr i think i should move to Tennessee so i can see you 😂
I live in a South Texas, and while the sun is shining most days of the year, a lot of people still don't get enough Vit D here because they spend all day trying to take cover indoors from the oppressive heat.
I’m doing 5000 IU per day no colds yet this season knock on wood . Now if I could get rid of the migraines that would be awesome.
Magnesium is great for migraines.
Ur my kinda DOCTOR, bacon fat- the cure all!!! 🤣👌🏼👌🏼lol seriously so kewl. Thanku I absolutely love alllll ur shared knowledge 👌🏼😘💫👍🏼 keep them coming
Dr. Berry, you are so wonderful! I wish you were my doctor. Your patients are so fortunate! Anyway, I live in California, and in January we had a week long period of rain. This is great...but I tend to get depression more during darker days. So I upped my Vit D3/K2 supplement from 1 to 2 capsules a day (the most Dr. Berg says one can take is 4 capsules) and that is 20,000 IU of D3 per day that I'm taking now. Anyway, I had NO depression that week and haven't had anymore depression in general since then. I assume based on my personal experience that I was deficient in that. I wish I could get a Vit D test. I'll ask my doctor, but if she says no, where can I get it on my own? I'm also wondering if I should go back down to 1 capsule and see how that goes?
3:10 a RN nurse friend of mine told me that the vitamin D in multivitamin is too high that it will cause some rare blood cancer or something like that.
She obviously needs you to school her
learning new things everyday with your videos. I feel utterly bamboozled and cheated by my doctors who don't know any of this stuff and they belong to Johns Hopkins. They are either truly ignorant or indifferent. Both are a crime .
So good. Im trying to share the knowledge of bitamin d as much as i can with friends and family. we live in norway, and the wi ter is long!
I need to start taking my vitamin D again!! :)
Hi! I was taking D3 1000 IU softgels. Hardly any sun touches my skin ( I'm a natural redhead...shhh...our secret lol) and I'm very close to the 50 yo mark! What do you recommend?
My functional MD prescribes me Vit D3 5,000 IU +K2 90mcg and K1 20mcg gel cap👍 Good supplement for heart and bone health!
I take 8000 iu/day (2x4000), each with a cap of fish oil. Because I have an autoimmune condition under treatment, I have my blood tested regularly and my Vitamin D levels are in the middle of the recommended range. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to my levels now that the sunnier weather is here
K2 and Manganese both assist with placing calcium in the bones and should be taken with D3.
@@LlibertarianGalt I’ve been taking K2 80ug x 2 / day + vegetarian diet + keto i.f. + lots of black tea (1.5% milk, 0 sugar) for a while. This is at least in part to see if D3 will help to moderate my immune system, having recently been diagnosed with a smorgasbord of autoimmune conditions - lots of symptoms, thankfully all very mild, but they add up! I am therefore doing this under medical supervision here in Vienna, Austria. Blood tested regularly, most recent showed 173ng/mol D3. I only have my K2 measured once per year, as that is a pretty expensive test here.
My vitamin D is 19 and the tablets my doctor gave me made me have terrible headaches they have lowered my dosage and put me on for 14 weeks. I've lost alot of weight.
I haven’t had the flu in YEARS and I haven’t had the flu SHOT in years.
My vitamin D was at 3 until I started taking 2 pills of vitamin D3. My Level went up to 20 in 2 months. She had me on the prescription for years and years and it never would go pass 12 and as soon as I stopped taking it drop right back down. She was so excited that I even got my level pass 20
Dr. Berry, I was hoping you would explain ,in more detail, how Vitamin D effects weight loss. Thank you.
@Joanne Caradonna , I agree. I didn’t hear him address this either.
D3 with K
My chiropractor hipped me to this sad fact almost 10yrs ago when I complained about suffering with SAD or seasonal depression in winter. He recommended a brand that you drop on to the tongue and has to stay in the refrigerator. Yay... I take tons of cod liver oil as well rich in A and D.
