Preach! We are not taught enough about vitamins. I work nights and I don't get enough sunlight so I take vitamins and especially D3k2! Life changer! Thanks
Excellent roundup of relevant Vitamin D information. Solid science, easy to understand. So necessary to surround D with its buddies: magnesium, K2, vitamin A. I toss in a once a week boron and strontium pill to top off the program.
This "fat soluble" seems to be crap. Adipose tissue is not a passive compartiment but as well strictly regulated. There Vit.D3-binding proteins in the blood and so on. This "fat soluble-argument is not conclusive.
I take vitamin D3 with K2 in a coconut oil capsule. About 7 years ago, I got extremely ill from vitamin D defficiency. I couldn't work, I couldn't sleep, had no energy, no muscle strength, and was like a total zombie. It was horrific! I am so grateful I finally figured it out. Since I have to cover up when in the sun, I pretty much depend upon my supplement intake.
How long did it take you to get back to work once you started supplementing?… I’ve been out of work since June and Doctors just figured out two weeks ago my Vitamin D was 26, I moved from a sunny place last year… The fatigue and depression had me thinking it was the end for months, I just wanna get back to the person I was before all of this!
Hi Dr.Childs. Are you planning on doing more Q & A type videos soon? Those are great, with lots of good information people can't get anywhere else. Not even our own doctors. I got so many questions, doc. 🤔 I'm sure others do, too. Thanks!
what about using a full spectrum lamp? I've read that they can help people fight off winter depression, so I wonder if they can help in areas where the sunlight is not strong.
Thanks for this Dr. Childs. As always great info. Just one thing, at the end when you recommend another video I'm not seeing a link to another video pop up on the screen. Just thought I'd mention it in case it's an error. Maybe it's just me.
Hi, Dr, this is an excellent video. I am currently planning hiw to supplement my vitamin D leves, and your video is quiet timely and spot on. I come from a hot climate and whenever l travel to Europe for studies, l lose that vitamin D and suffer from all sort of upset tummy, and feeling of extreme cold etc. I later realised whenever l vist home for like two weeks all these symptoms vanish. Niw am back to Europe and want to start taking vitamin D but the liquid version not the capsule. Any tips? Thanks
Taking 5,000IU - 10,000IU per day is perfectly safe for an otherwise healthy individual. Vitamin D toxicity is not like toxicity of other fat soluble vitamins. The vitamin D isn't toxic, but in a very small minority of people may cause elevated blood calcium.
d3 is in the form of cholecalciferol which isnt necessarily herbal, but the source doesnt really matter. k2, the mk7 version is the best kind. there are also a couple kinds of magnesium which are the best as well but i forgot what they are. whole food sources are usually the best for k2, mag and vit a
I was told by my doctor to stop taking vitamin D with vitamin K because of my blood pressure. I had my blood drawn for vitamin D and it came back normal. I'm trying to figure out why I still have all the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency?
@@DillanRichardson. No, I don't just listen to Dr. Eric Berg. PubMed has over 60,000 articles on Vitamin D so they are the leading Vitamin D "channel". LOL.
2:51 so does it mean darker skin people need to spend longer the sun? Does the 10 to 20 minute sun exposure with 40% skin still apply to darker skin people?
My daughter has same issue. Takes a lot of meds for 4 types arthritis. Takes 20k Vit D a week RX kind & still way below normal level. Lab every 3 months.
@@dianaherring8594the RX D is usually D2, not recommended. Also, brand matters. I took Doctors Best for several years and didn’t get anywhere. Switched to VivaNaturals and in 6 months myD was up to 80. I took 10k iu with K2 as MK-4/7 and 400 mgs magnesium glycinate.
Sun needs to be in an 42° angle for enough UVB rays to get through for vitamin D. There are sites in the internet where you can check for your location. In Germany right now in August you are good from roughl 12:00 to 15:30 o clock. With its peak at 13:37 right now.
Yow, the most important vitamin is vitamin C, isn't it? And remember, vitamins do not accumulate in the body, they are washed away every day and have to be supplied again and again. Excessive amount of fat soluble vitamins may be fatal.
Hello Doctor..I suffer from anxiety and tension when I face a problem. My body trembles, my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak. . I tried beta-blockers and my condition improved a lot..but I suffer from bronchiectasis and phlegm, which negatively affected my health..Are there nutritional supplements or herbs that work like beta-blockers?
I am 71 and take vitamin D3 with K2 in a coconut oil capsule, which I buy online. The daily does that works for me is 5000 IU. Just get a good quality supplement. Since I have had skin cancer and have to cover up, live at a high altitude, and no way would be caught wirh 40% of my body exposed, I rely upon daily supplementation.

A woman can't wear shorts?? Why are you distinguishing between men and women? And you certainly can get UV exposure without being in the middle of the day when the UV rays are worst during the summer no less. With a lower angle of the sun, you actually get more surface area exposure.

Magnesium

That's because doctors are only taught the basics about vitamins.
This is a very good discussion, well explained, clear and concise.

My grandmother used to make us eat cod liver oil. (She knew we had vitamin D issues way back then.)
I thought it was just my skin getting dry bc change of seasons.
It was just very low vitamin D
I’m taking 50,000 once a week now.
Excellent video Dr. Westion. You are so ON POINT!!!
OK, I am going to make sure the Sun is in the right position... If it's not, I'll reposition it. 😊
No, no... You don't need to reposition it. You just need to go out a bit earlier or later😉🌞...
Doctor is great with information. 😊
Very clearly presented, thanks
Great information as always and thanks for making it simple 😊
Your videos are improving. Great content!
The sunlight method 😂😅👍
10000 ius minimum is generally the info i came across. this is how much i take and i feel terrific
How much do you weight a and how tall are you

Try using vitamin d without soy.
Oily fish , egg yolks , red meat 🥩 liver good for vitamin D 😊

I was told that for every 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 I take, I should also take 100mcg of Vitamin K2 and 400mg of Magnesium Glycinate.

How do you explain a full body sunburn on a cloudy day fishing in the creek covered in trees!?
UVA rays are not blocked by clouds and they can damage the skin and result in a sunburn.
What about skin Cancer I can't be out in the sun. Because I burn then supplements constipate me.
What brand
well in the uk we have very little sun i use a uva /uvb sunbed 6 mins 3 times a week
