My doctor tried to kill me.Put me on 30 mg of crestor then waited to see how long it would take for me to be diabetic.I suffered debilitating back pain,inflammation in BOTH rotator cuffs,then NAFLD.Yes I was diagnosed with pre diabetes after 18 months,and sky high BP.When I enquired about taking milk thistle for rejuvenation of my liver,I was poopooed.I quit him,and researched EVERYTHING myself.1 year later my health is restored and I'm flourishing.70 YO female carnivore.I take Vit D3,K2,and magnesium.I would NEVER discuss supplements nor nutrition with a 'DR' agan,EVER.
Better than that.....why ever return to said Dr. ever again....??! 🤷 All prescription drugs are poisonous and harmful. Personally I'm not against antibiotics only on rare needed occasions. But I also personally would never take the whole course. I take maybe one half of one pill. They're too strong and can cripple us...or permanently shut kidneys down. Research....
Wow, it amazes me how horribly ludicrous most doctors are. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It would be nice to find an intelligent doctor, but that is so hard to do. One of my worst experiences is when I was pregnant and asked about prenatal vitamins and was told the baby doesn't take anything from me. I could not believe what I was hearing. That was the only time I saw that doctor. Another was when a doctor told me I don't need vitamin K for my osteopenia. They are crazy.
Wow. So glad your ok. I was prescribed crestor too n I have many back issues (5 herniated disc's, 2 bulging disc's, and nerve issues). I noticed the crestor made my pain super bad (+I was on opiates). Once I stopped crestor my pain went way down n I didn't need opiates anymore.
Dr Berg notes 1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed. 2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once! 3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem. 4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs. 5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided. 6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem. 7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency. 8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data. 9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect. 10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health. 11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily! Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
I loved that phrase: "there is a difference between learning and understanding, and memorizing. They are not the same thing" So true, I have always noticed there are people that can spend decades in their field and still remain incompetent because they are just there for the paycheck. Then there are those that are dedicated and passionate about what they do.
There is no better example of this than the ministry. Those guys can spout their denominational spin but don't ask them to teach the bible. That's not what they're paid for. "It is difficult to get a man to understand when his salary depends on his not understanding."
This is so true!! Several months ago I had to quit a dr bc I felt all she was doing was "memorizing the textbook." Where I live I find it extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable and outside the box dr. I have a new dr now and she is somewhat better, but still not what I'm looking for.
I will be 68 in a few months and am not on any medication. My check ups and blood work has been good. I did have stage 1 breast cancer and am now almost 2 years clear. I have watched Dr Berg for many things when i felt the need to prevent or fix any normal senior problem. Hormone balance was a big thing for me since I had estrogen dominant breast cancer. He has helped be living a medication free life so far. I just wish insurance companies would cover the cost of vitamins as well.
Just when I did not think I could appreciate Dr. Berg anymore I realizing that he is one of the very few medical professionals (especially in the media) who cares about US more than BIG PHARMA! He is not afraid to call it like it is when giving info on the pharmaceutical industry. THANKS Dr. Berg!
@@mrs.happydog584 most chiropractors currently have a functional medicine department in their clinic. They are far and away ahead of allopathic medicine in determining causes rather than just treating symptoms
8:11 he said vitamin d is very inexpensive because you can get it from the sun.. if that's the case, how do supplements capture the sun and put it in a capsule? --tried it, not that easy
You’d be better off doing your own research with what you’re using. While doing so, you will learn a lot and tend to remember the info doing it yourself.
So, I watched this video 1st thing this morning and found 2 mistakes I was making. 1) Don't drink electrolytes before bedtime which for the most part I haven't but have on occasion. I'll be making sure I don't do that again. 2) take all your vitamins early in the day... I've been taking my vitamins that don't require food in the morning, because I don't eat breakfast and all the rest with dinner. So, today I made sure to take them with my lunch and it is now 7:15 pm and I'm not wishing it was bedtime. Now, I will definitely be taking them much earlier in the day. Thank you for all your videos... you have helped me more times than I can count. You're definitely a life safer... literally.
@@DrbergI ordered your B1 supplement on amazon after watching two of your videos on b1. I think you said take four times the recommended dose, is that the same for your supplement?
I had restless leg syndrome for several weeks so I was not sleeping. I would have to get up and walk most of the night and it was miserable. I researched on the internet and found an article that advised it could be a vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency. I started taking both of these in the morning and afternoon. My restless leg symptoms totally disappeared by the 7th day. It has been months now and it has not returned. What a relief.
My husband took himself off his diabetic medication by controlling what he eats going for walks and fasting for 2-3 days once a month. His numbers have been great. I am in awe of his discipline he also writes down everything he eats and utilized Berberine,Psyllium and a few others supplements but mostly clean eating. Thank you Dr. for this valuable information.
@@peace8096 He eats meat,vegetables no corn and the only fruit is berries and apples which are good sources of fiber. He eats very little carbs but will have air fried potatoes once in a while and utilize low carb breads if necessary. He only uses vinegar and oil for his salads or eats them with lots of bell peppers, onions. If eating out he has them hold the sauce and will do big bowls of soups like chicken tortillas but hold the tortillas lol clear broth soups not creamy but orders extra veggies and meat. If he craves a sweet he will have a small bowl of whipped cream comes in a pack of three which has 1 fat, 1 carb , 1 sugar then he adds grated dark chocolate very high content but the whip makes it a decadent treat he switches it up sometimes with mandarin orange slices. He also eats lots of boiled eggs but often takes the yolk out and fills the hole with chopped onions, jalapeños and bell peppers. We meal prep the chopped veggies so they can be added to almost anything. These are just some examples. He only drinks water, green or black tea nothing added and zero sugar Body Armor once in a while.
When my doctor read the supplements I was taking from my chart she said " you know, those don't really do anything". That's one of those people giving advice without any data
allopathic paradigm... they are trained to revere the drug companies, are paid by them to promote thier poisons and taught that anything homeopathic is fake.
I'm going to be 60 years old in October and I am only on one medication an inhaler I don't even use that very often,, maybe a couple of times a month. right now, I believe in natural healing supplements food that will help my body not the doctor pushing their drugs on me
I'm going to be 60 years old in October and I'm on no medications,, I do have an inhaler I take during the summer occasionally, but other than that I'm drug free, I take my supplements every morning, and I try to consciously eat right😊
If you change your household products to more natural ones without harmful chemicals, you might be able to lose the inhaler. I've heard testimonies to that effect from those who shop from the wellness store that I shop from
@dnsgilbert09 It could be the humidity of the Summer that triggers her asthma. Also mold does too. She mentioned Summer. Same thing happens to me. You're not wrong though. But humidity is horrible for asthmatics
Hello Dr. Berg, Just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate your teaching. God bless you. I'm a 64 year old male. I have a hiatal hernia and have been in much pain at times. Just started taking your Gallbladder Formula extra strength for 3 days now. I was pounding down Tums till I saw your video. Keep up the beautiful service you provide.

Dr Berg hit the nail on the head , when he said memorizing isn't the same as learning and that is a huge issue with the school system , because they measure a person's knowledge by the testing but what they have done is making them remember so much and then forget half of what they learned 😮
Even though what you said is true, but the other way around is not true, ie , a good testing score does not always mean students memorize the knowledge. My daughter never memorize her math knowledge, she just knows where it comes from. If she forgot some formulae, she will derive it on the spot during test. Yes, her test score is always close to perfect.
I make the bulk of my own supplements myself. I just bought a 00 capsule press that will press 100 capsules at one time. For my vitamin C, I use Acerola powder. I also press organic wild blueberry powder. I also use pure curcumin and add some black pepper extract. I do buy other supplements, and I buy doctor Bergs brand. I do this because I trust in his products, plus it's a way for me to support him and pay him back for his fantastic research

You should write a book about vitamin supplements and combinations of interactions. It is very much needed. A list of vitamins and what they work for. Very useful for the average person
@@Drbergyes please do thank you.❤ God Bless you sir..I've had Long Covid for 3 yrs damaged my lungs not to mention my life sorry to say..maybe you and some of your colleges could help figure some of this out..Its been debliating to sat the least..

I seriously need a book or charts to reference supplements needed, how long to take, how much to take, when to take, what coupled supplement to take with it, and when to expect improvement. I’m so confused after I listen to the video and try to remember it all.
This is what a real super hero looks like. I can’t imagine how many lives he helped save bringing people back to God made food and nutrients and moving people away from man made junk
I was taking magnesium glycinate at night like yourself..for sleep..however I found I was having brain fog in the morning for a little bit after waking up..someone said to switch to taking it at around 11 am..I did and I found I still sleep well and no brain fog..just thought I would mention this in case anyone else is experiencing this..

At 7:55, exactly. I went 18 years as a chiropractor, but until I took Functional Medicine course through Functional Medicine University run by a chiropractor, I did not put it all together. Thanks Doc, we need you man !
Thank you, Dr. Berg! Here’s a real doctor here who is actually trying to heal people than dispensing drugs that make people sicker in other area instead.
My husband switch off of Metformin to Berberine for a year. His Dr was telling him you're doing great. Metformin seems to be working well for you. He then told his Dr he hadn't taken it in a yr. He was super impressed and said, "That's awesome!" he'd heard good things about Berberine. Kootos for him had he acted any other way my husband would have been disappointed in him.
@@Staygoldponyboy44 I take Berberine , 2 capsules a day. My A1C went from 7.0 to 6.0 in 6 months. Glucose went down 20 points. As far as a weight loss, not sure if it’s working. I am doing WW and have lost 25 pounds
I love your content doctor❤ just a minor correction calcium carbonate is not in cement it is in limestone but all the carbon goes into carbon dioxide before the mix enters the kiln. In cement we have silicates, not carbonate.
Once again i learned a lot from this Genius. My Supplementations are Zinc, Omega 3, Vitamin D3 7000 iU in the Morning and Magnesium in the Evening. The Last 3 Weeks im testing Shilajit in Combination with Ashwagandha. Dont know if its a Placebo Effect, but i feel more energy since the last Week. Maybe Dr.Berg could give his Opinions in another Video about not so known Supplements. Have a nice and healthy Day👋😉
If you are taking zinc, please also make sure you are getting enough copper. The two minerals work to keep each other in balance. Shalajit should have copper but maybe not enough. Ashwagandha worked well for me to help balance my hormones.
I take pure encapsulations energy pack that has everything in it. Magnesium Glycinate - CoQ10 - L-Carnitine - Vitamin D3 - EPA/DHA & Mutli t/d. Is this ok Doc?
Dr Berg. Your videos are so informative. I have been following you from last 10 years and it made a huge difference in my health. Thank you so much. Many blessings.
Got all my family tested for vitamin D levels. I work outside a good bit,and walk the dog everyday,I thought I would be fine,my reading came back at 67 nmol/l...so I have started taking 4000ui a day,I will test in 4 months time and see where I'm at. My wife was 100 nmol/l...which surprised us. So it shows that everyone,s body is different,and require different amounts of vitamin D dosage.
@@Drberg what nonsense magnesium I eat a lot of vegetables and dark chocolate and my vitamin contains sufficient magnesium and my vitamin D is high without magnesium supplements and I only take vitamin D... I am super healthy!
@TriTr-gk8bodoesn’t take days to activate. But he’s made videos on absorption of vitamin d, how to drastically improve absorption. At 5 excellent videos on this.
I guit taking blood pressure medication, it was causing me problems , ankles and feet swelling , found out I needed to take nitric oxide , twice a day . And staying out of stress , I eat healthy , and detox , on and on . Listen to what my body is telling me. There was and is still a lot of stress and trauma I have been dealing with . Enough said on all this anyway . Have to protect my liver , at all cost 1st stage of stage 4 cirrhosis. So doctors aren’t listening to me about my liver . So I have to be my own advocate in my health .
We are in lake effect snow area, so in winter not many sunny days. We take 10,000 iu d3.. but i think we should up that this winter. Also started keto/ intermittent fasting a few months ago and am down 19 pounds!! Have felt so much better, thank you!!
Thinking of moving back home to Minnesota. Thinking of Duluth which has quite a long winter and lake effect snow! Going to miss the weather where we are in West Virginia for sure, but Minnesota will always be home 😢
I strongly support you, Dr. Eric Berg. You are a good guy. There are many people who talk down about you and tarnish your reputation, but you have earned my respect many times over. You also have a great sense of humor bringing just the right amount into your videos. 😄 Bless you! 🙏😇😁
This year I was diagnosed with an extreme vitamin D deficiency to where it was almost non-existent. I was numb on the left half of my body, head to toe, which led me to get to the doctor. I can also tell you that it takes more than a day for your body to correct itself. I was back to normal in about 2 weeks and to this day still take vitamin d supplements and a little bit of magnesium.
I had a problem with low vit D. One time it was 17 on my blood work. I was taking a ton of vit D3 and also taking fish oil. A different Dr suggested sardines for a different problem. All my joints stopped hurting so fast I didn't even realize it was the sardines at first. Next blood work vit D was 130 (which is getting close to high). I stopped taking all oil and vit D supplements, and just kept eating sardines once a week. Vit D has been at 100 two years in a row. Those sardines changed my life. Don't buy the cheapest ones, and make sure they are in water, not oil. I pour off the juice for my pets and consume the fish. They don't stink and actually taste better than tuna.
@@z31beckI don't get it, you were talking it a ton of? Because you took too many in one day with high doses ? I consumed omega 3, but just one a day esp morning or evening
Dr. Berg, you've convinced me to quit drinking all high caffeine sports drinks with sugar ,MCT oil etc. The brand that I used had 300 mg of caffeine in each. I didn't realize how extremely dangerous they are especially for people like me with coronary plaque and I am 61. I've been feeling sick over the weekend because I have a painful Inguinal hernia and I haven't eaten since Friday because the extra weight in my intestines seems to make it more difficult to go down. So, I have fasted since Friday minus electrolytes and water. Not even drinking coffee. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the post about the sugary highly caffeinated drinks. I never would have dreamed that a coke was healthier then a 300 mg sugary caffeinated drink. which is what I had sometimes 3 x a day....playing with fire like that for sure..should be common sense huh? Have a great morning.everyone.
An energy drink was never really a sports drink. Sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade don't have caffeine, but are also horrible for the body. Congrats for getting off energy drinks 🎉
Just drink water and lemon ….or buy a juicy and blend beets and carrots …celery ..or make a smoothie of spinach and blueberries …that all you need ..don’t not blend fruits ..use lemon as a sweetener ….your body will be grateful ..start with BEET and Carrot and cucumber juice
Start ..fish oil..or krill oil ….please buy natural not synthetic vitamins …google natural vitamins and always…read the back of the bottle ….if you cannot pronounce the name put it back on the self ….Walmart has very many synthetic vitamins ..and shoppers drug mart ( that for people who live in Canada) and Walgreens
Have a younger female doc who is excited that a 71 yr old is not on any meds and doing great....she loves looking at my supplements and diet and even suggested a good additional supplement for keeping my BP down. There are a few good ones out there...keep looking and ask around. Magnesium glycinate and Epsom salts soaks fixed my nighttime jerky legs. Get a DNA test that shows what mineral and vitamin deficiencies you have. Then build your supplements and diet around that. It made my chronic back and neck pain of 40 yrs fade away. I take Dr Berg's vit D3/k2.

When I started taking vitamins, a friend of mine said that multivitamins are basically expensive piss. There are two different types: mineral-based and food-based. We want food based. She moved away, so I asked an employee at a Vitimen shop about mineral and food-based, and they needed clarification. Again, as always, thank you for your videos!
I use Rainbow Light or Jarrow Formula. A third would be Solgar. These aren't cheap but they are good and they are effective. The Rainbow Light is food based and is my multi vitamin. I also eat a quality diet. You are what you eat!!!
This is my schedule: 10am: -fat soluble vitamins (A retinyl palminate, D3, k2 mk-7, fish oil) -lysine -NAC -Also trying to figure out how to get enough calcium around this time, worried im not getting enough. I do eat a lot of Greek yogurt though 1pm: -methylated b complex -electrolytes 5pm: -selenium -zinc/copper (ratio 10:1) 9pm: -iron biglycinate -vitamin c I also take pumpkin seed oil, spearmint tea & saw palmetto for PCOS. Been taking those in the morning but not sure when the optimal time would be for those. Seems to help
Can you elaborate on your pumpkin seed oil consumption for pcos?? I suffer with pmdd and severe period cramps and I’ve dabbled in supplement/ vitamins/herbal tinctures for a while to help with my pmdd/period
I take , Vitamin D, Magnesium for sleep, Black seed oil,Milk thistle, a prostate capsule, Selenium and Colostrum nightly . All one capsule, except for the Vitamin D,they are small,so i take 4 every 2 days.
i worked out while fasting during the mornings because i worked 2nd shift 20 yrs.and ate when i got in at 3pm then walked 4-5 miles a day on the job. when i eat i don't want to do anything so it's perfect to walk it of. nible at 8pm bed at midnight
Dr. Berg, thank you again for another great video. You're easy to listen to and you're spot on in so many of your observations. I'm 62, very fit and active every single day. I was taking supplements regularly for years and then I fell off the wagon. Mainly because I was so healthy, I forgot to maintain. About a month ago I attended a multi-day event which involved some stress, alcohol, and travel. When I returned home I was drained and tired for several days. That was unusual for me, but I ignored it and resumed my regular active life. Big mistake, I came down with shingles! Then I binged a few Dr. Berg vids and got on a regimen of L-Lysine, D3+K2, B12, C. Combo'd with oat and epsom baths, and staying home with a good book... the shingles thankfully never really "blossomed". I'm 95% recovered but still forcing myself to keep resting until I'm 100%. I definitely will stay on the wagon with the supplements this time.
I feel like with most supplements, as you gradually increase the dosage, so do the symptoms of the deficiency improves. But then there's some that really feel like an "all or nothing" situation. Where if the dosage is too low, you may feel no difference at all. But if it's high enough, you can feel a drastic improvement. A big one for me was Vitamin E Tocotrienols. Very expensive in my opinion, I only took the recommended dosage for a year and barely felt a difference. But once I doubled the dosage, OMG the chest pains that I would get throughout the day are gone. Once you've had a heart attack, having any subtle to major chest pains throughout the day can be quite traumatizing and make you kinda paranoid. Tocotrienols may be quite expensive, but now that I've gotten the full experience/ improvements. I can definitely say that it's one of the few expensive supplements that is well worth it for me.
Dr. Barrie Tan has a great vitamin E (tocotrienols) supplement but, like you say, it is very expensive. The last time I purchased it, I spent about $100 for a 60-day supply. That was before the Inflation Reduction Plan (Bidenomics) kicked in so it's probably double that cost now. I can't do that stuff anymore.
@@GamersForTruth I don't take vitamin E b/c it thins my blood (I guess). I get nosebleeds- garlic does it to me as well, and I could take it when I was younger. Do the tocotrienals do that?
@@amm2472 The brand is Wellness Extract and it's around $30 for 60x 125mg softgels. They have a 300mg option for $60, for me to get really notice the difference I gotta take 2 of the 125mg or 1x 300mg.
Dr. Berg, just a small adjustment. ELECTROLYTES do not push water out of the body, rather keep the body cells saturated with fluids. Pure water makes you go to pee, but if you add little salt, potassium, magnesium, no need to go to urinate during the night as much. Personal experience is the same in my case. Same in case of workout at the gym. Pure water does not saturate the body as properly as electrolyte mix. I can also relate to swallowing too many supplements at once without enough water ... the I-am-gonna-die phase is real 😅 For everyone, always take PROBIOTICS at least 2 hours after taking ANTIBIOTICS.
Dr. Berg, have you changed your mind about taking K2 with the D3? You didn't mention that with the D3. I have been taking Magnesium Glycinate since the first visit with my holistic doctor. But frankly, you are the one that has saved my life and showed me how to eat my way out of Diabetes 2 and explained to me a great many things that doctors don't do.
Thanks Dr. Berg! You're awesome man, you've help me and my family for the last few years. We are lucky to have someone like you around! Keep up the good work man
Dr. Berg, thank you indeed for your priceless contribution to the business. I would highly appreciate if you could answer my following questions: I am 42 yers old. I workout several times a week I workout in the early mornings on an empty stomach. 1) Is there any problem if I combine Creatine and Glutamine right after the workout? Is there any other suggestion? (I have my first meal in about 1,5-2 hours after the training session. 2) Can I take Citrulline before the session on an empty stomach as always? Thank you a lot.
After reading the book by Jeff Bowles I began to experiment with my Vit D3 intake. I saw some real benefits when I got up to 70k units daily, w/K2, of course. I sent the book to my 89 year old mother and she increased her own intake and commented how good she feels lately, she even started to bake again, she has so much energy... and she's only up to 20k units! Vit D is a key player in so many things, I'm convinced of it!!
And I only take 5000 IU’s and thought that was a lot. But I’ve felt like I need more as my energy level has not been good. I think I will experiment with a little more
Hi I just started Natures Bounty D3 (5000ui) my Rheumatologist said she takes this 5 days a week. I also take 3mgs of Folic Acid daily due to a medication I take. Do you have any recommendations for other vitamins to add or any certain brands? Thank you in advance.
Yes K2 is crucial, but it's not that simple, as it needs to be in the trans form and not the cis form. Some manufacturers are mute about this, and worse, in studies that have tested a variety of suppliers, the amount of trans k2 can be woefully low. A 2016 study even reported that a third of K2 only products they tested contained no K2 at all. I couldn't find a reference now, but I'm pretty sure that K2 trans, such as found in natto, can turn in the inactive cis isomer during processing, and so companies claiming that their K2 is guaranteed to be 100% trans form because it's derived from natto could be false unless they test what they're actually putting in the bottles. So along with taking K2, I think it's important to get calcium levels checked to make sure they're not going up due to K2 not working or being at an incorrect dosage.
@@jamiemcmahon9638 Like Dr Berg said in this video, Vit D3 needs to be taken every day. And since I don't know you or your medical history, I'd never make any recommendations for you. I can suggest searching Dr Berg's channel for medical issues that concern you for any kinds of supplements that he suggests. That's what I've been doing and I've never felt better. Best of luck to you!
"Memorizing Learning and Understanding" Well said. Ideally, this phrase should be on a warning sticker slapped on the brochure of every university in our country.
However, if you have a good memory and recall and are able to use that information to understand and do exceptionally well on non multiple choice exams, you are golden!
Easy to suggest we check with our doctor... trouble is, most "regular" gp type docs have NO clue about natural approaches to staying healthy. Some don't even know how the immune system works! Medicine has become quite a puzzle for those of us who prefer not to stuff ourselves with drugs for symptoms only, not ever finding out root causes of the symptomatology. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your informative videos!
I take a lot whole plant or seed suppliments (ashwagandha, clove, marjoram, cayenne, fenugreek, rosemary, milk thistle and this year i collected my own nettle, peppermint, dandelion, goldenrod and made capsules) these are whole food supplements for me
When it comes to potassium, since it's kind of hard to get enough from the diet and even supplements (outside of electrolyte powders which often have some fillers and other ingredients you don't want), recently I added potassium chloride (salt) to the himalayan salt I was using mainly just to get more potassium out of the diet and I feel better. It has also some sodium chloride + potassium iodide (very small percentages, under 1%), but the main is potassium chloride and now I use the himalayan just as a finishing salt. Obviously, not every meal needs salt and you should be careful with it, but I think that is some unexpensive and safe way to increase your potassium intake. When it comes to supplements overall, right now I only take omega 3 or cod liver oil (I switch them up, I use Rosita Cod Liver Oil), vitamin d3 + k2 (Viridian) and magnesium bisglycinate (Viridian). Viridian is a good brand, I think, though It is somewhat expensive, because their dosage is usually lower (and I just take 2-3 capsules of vitimain d3 rather than 1), but if I trust the ingredients list, they don't have any crap in it. There are some other obscure brands that seem to have quality supplements, but you need to make your own research, because too many brands use magnesium stearate, sillicon dioxide and other caking agents, fillers and crap that you need to avoid..
@@stanleyyu2079 Of course, that is a good suggestion and I meant it in the umbrella term "crap" :D Besides, Vitamin C is fairly easy to get from whole foods, so better to consume it from peppers, a bit of lemons, leafy greens, grapefruits occasionally etc. Or if it's from supplements, try to find some better ones like from camu camu fruit, acerola or rose hips, or anything similar.
Super!😊 What time do you eat breakfast and lunch? AND IF? Also, do you have a video on how much of vitamins we need each day? Mag, calcium, D’s, B?? Thanks!
DR. BERG!!!!!! I literally ordered like 8 supplements (including your d3 and k2 lol) to take lol and they got here YESTERDAY and you just made this video. I swearrrrrrrrrrrrr the timing of your videos and my life is crazy lol.
I was taking the d3 and k2 supplement and when my doctor did my annual blood test, the vitamin d level was almost toxic. I had to stop taking that supplement before it did any damage.

This is a truly eye-opening take on the common mistakes many of us make when it comes to taking supplements. I never realized how important timing and quality were, or the risks of mixing certain supplements with medications. The insight about synthetic vitamins, the right doses, and potential drug interactions is so helpful! It also makes me rethink how crucial vitamin D is for our health, especially in higher doses than we've been told. Thank you for shedding light on these critical points-definitely going to adjust my supplement routine!
You missed an important caveat to adding probiotics when on antibiotics. Antibiotics will counter out the effects of probiotics if you take them at the same time. People you need to take them at least two hours apart from each other. I was pleasantly surprised when the pharmacist told me that (which I already knew).
@@antares5683the last time I had to take antibiotics, I took probiotics during the antibiotics course and also after. Now I actually take probiotics pretty much with every meal, not in the form of capsules but with natural foods
A couple months ago I went off all my supplements just to see what was what. I discovered that the Turmeric, that I was taking to alleviate inflammation actually caused me to have painful joints, especially in areas of my body that had previous injuries. The exact opposite of what I was trying to accomplish!
Vitamin C and B vitamins are actually water soluable, and not fat soluable. Note: I do like your channel a lot and watch it all the time. We all make mistakes.
K is not to be taken with D3. It's K2 which should be taken with D3. K & K2 are totally different. K is for clotting factor. Many get these confused (even on internet medical posts).

Thank you Dr Berg, for such Vital Information.I am a type 2 diabetic. My last Dr appointment my A1c was a tad above eight. My doctor was up set. He said " why do you do this"? The response was, if needles didn't make the hair on the back of my neck , I would shoot sugar directly in to my veins. Besides there is sugar in everything. What am I to eat? He said "eat the air" Then I found you.
Some years ago, I felt bothered by the fact that I was very thirsty when I woke up. Where I live, Sweden, the air is dry and it sucks you dry when you sleep. So I started to drink half a liter of water before I went to bed. For a week to ten days, I had to pee in the middle of the night but then my body adjusted and I slept all night long. I have noticed that if I don’t fall asleep, I do have to pee. Sometimes I drink an entire liter. Unrelated to vitamin but it’s really nice to be properly hydrated while sleeping.
Also probably you sleep with your mouth open. And then you only need to take one mouthful of water and swish it around your mouth for a bit. Don’t drink too much before bed
I take lots of supplements. I’m starting to eat organic. Dr William Li said the nutrients in organic vegetables and fruits are so high. That would mean I won’t need so much vitamin supplements. And I don’t take antibiotics meds for years. When I need antibiotics, I’ll take oregano EO. It’s a natural antibiotics.
@Dr.EricBerg I’m confused 🤔… I’ve followed you for several years & you used to recommend Vitamin K with D3, but now you recommend Magnesium instead? Or should I still take K2? Grateful for an answer - Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! I have Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, and I take Armour Thyroid in the morning on an empty stomach. I am deficient in B12 and Vit. D. What is the best time to take these? I was told, once a day. Thanks for being here.
Perfect timing and soooo helpful. I am on crestor and eat healthy but have cholesterol from genetics. I am also pre diabetes and think it is from this crestor. I also have noticed the numbness in hands and feet. I don’t want to be on anything. A video on alternative for cholesterol would be great. Love your videos.
Red rice yeast supplement and psyllium husk (fiber) every morning have lowered my cholesterol substantially. I have genetically high cholesterol, as well, and I am at a healthy weight, eat clean, and exercise five times a week.

Actually did have a family member die from choking on supplements. My dad’s cousin, who wasn’t in very good health, induced a heart attack while choking. I do take a lot of supplements and have trialed a lot to try and help my tinnitus, but if I want to try something new, I try to introduce it as a single ingredient, not something like ‘tinnitus relief - that will have 5 different things in it.
I'm curious to know & am humbly asking if you found anything that helped or healed /helped with the tinnitus, or at least improved the symptoms? I have days when it's better, but not sure if it's due to a specific supplement or dietary choice. I am experimenting with Saturated beef fat (Suet to be exact) that I fry & eat with beef & water. I eat mostly ruminant animal meats at the moment due to digestive issues that were really bad months ago, & getting better thanks to help from pple like Dr Berg. Getting my stomach acid levels up to help break down food, as well as getting my gall bladder restored to something closer to proper % function has been a journey that's not easy, but well worth the troubles. I hope you found relief in Tinnitus, & I hope to as well 1 day. Regards,
@@here_for_the no, not really. I know what makes it worse, high glutamate (msg), alcohol and illness, but not much to make it better. For me, I think it is part of years of migraines, so I have focused on nutrients that researchers have found help for traumatic brain injuries. I was just listening to one of Andrew Huberman's podcasts and the scientist he was interviewing was talking about TBI's and I will continue to try things that have been shown to heal the brain. Like now I am going to up my Cod Liver Oil. The scientist on huberman was talking about 3-5 grams per day to heal the brain, but I take at most just one gram, if I remember to take it at all. I have had tinnitus for 13 years though, so I dont hold out much hope. I mainly work on just having good sleep habits, because that is the part that really drives me nuts, the impact it has on my sleep. And your brain wont heal without good sleep.

Thank you Dr.Berg! Heh not long ago I was getting calls from my rheumatologist to stop taking vitamin D immediately, my levels were too high. The voicemails sounded so urgent, thry even called my husband- every time they called me I was at work so I couldn't answer. I was like, wow it's ok, I'm fine. I remembered your video on questionable vitamin D OD and was like, meh..no symptoms lol
Can you believe that a cardiologist told me that “you can never get rid of calcium once you have it”. I was dumbfounded!! Thank you for your insights and advice.
Dr Berg, you are a such a beautiful human being, you've helped me so much in my health journey. I can only imagine what you must go through to get us this information. And being able to lay all of your mistakes on the table like you do takes an impressively humble and forthcoming person. An inspiration as always

My doctor tried to kill me.Put me on 30 mg of crestor then waited to see how long it would take for me to be diabetic.I suffered debilitating back pain,inflammation in BOTH rotator cuffs,then NAFLD.Yes I was diagnosed with pre diabetes after 18 months,and sky high BP.When I enquired about taking milk thistle for rejuvenation of my liver,I was poopooed.I quit him,and researched EVERYTHING myself.1 year later my health is restored and I'm flourishing.70 YO female carnivore.I take Vit D3,K2,and magnesium.I would NEVER discuss supplements nor nutrition with a 'DR' agan,EVER.
Salute to the Real. You are an overcomer. Never give up, never quit. If you fall, well get the hell back up then!!!!
Better than that.....why ever return to said Dr. ever again....??! 🤷

AWESOME!!!! Carnivore is the best ketogenic approach!!
Wow, it amazes me how horribly ludicrous most doctors are. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It would be nice to find an intelligent doctor, but that is so hard to do.
One of my worst experiences is when I was pregnant and asked about prenatal vitamins and was told the baby doesn't take anything from me. I could not believe what I was hearing. That was the only time I saw that doctor. Another was when a doctor told me I don't need vitamin K for my osteopenia. They are crazy.
Wow. So glad your ok. I was prescribed crestor too n I have many back issues (5 herniated disc's, 2 bulging disc's, and nerve issues). I noticed the crestor made my pain super bad (+I was on opiates). Once I stopped crestor my pain went way down n I didn't need opiates anymore.
Dr Berg notes
1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed.
2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once!
3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem.
4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs.
5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided.
6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem.
7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency.
8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data.
9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect.
10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health.
11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily!
Thank you Dr Berg!

Thank you Doc, I am following up with your informative videos ❤
Much appreciated!

Thank you 😊
I loved that phrase: "there is a difference between learning and understanding, and memorizing. They are not the same thing" So true, I have always noticed there are people that can spend decades in their field and still remain incompetent because they are just there for the paycheck. Then there are those that are dedicated and passionate about what they do.
There is no better example of this than the ministry. Those guys can spout their denominational spin but don't ask them to teach the bible. That's not what they're paid for. "It is difficult to get a man to understand when his salary depends on his not understanding."
This is so true!! Several months ago I had to quit a dr bc I felt all she was doing was "memorizing the textbook." Where I live I find it extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable and outside the box dr. I have a new dr now and she is somewhat better, but still not what I'm looking for.
Well said 👍
AND, even after you understand and learn, you still need CURIOSITY to be any good at helping to solve a problem.
More than just a paycheck. Some are in it for the prestige it offers. And don't forget, a lot of physicians graduated at the bottom of their class.
I will be 68 in a few months and am not on any medication. My check ups and blood work has been good. I did have stage 1 breast cancer and am now almost 2 years clear. I have watched Dr Berg for many things when i felt the need to prevent or fix any normal senior problem. Hormone balance was a big thing for me since I had estrogen dominant breast cancer. He has helped be living a medication free life so far. I just wish insurance companies would cover the cost of vitamins as well.
Just when I did not think I could appreciate Dr. Berg anymore I realizing that he is one of the very few medical professionals (especially in the media) who cares about US more than BIG PHARMA! He is not afraid to call it like it is when giving info on the pharmaceutical industry. THANKS Dr. Berg!

Dr. Berg, would you please put together a video just for vitamins: what vitamins to take together and what vitamins not to. Thank you.
You’d be better off doing your own research with what you’re using. While doing so, you will learn a lot and tend to remember the info doing it yourself.

So, I watched this video 1st thing this morning and found 2 mistakes I was making. 1) Don't drink electrolytes before bedtime which for the most part I haven't but have on occasion. I'll be making sure I don't do that again. 2) take all your vitamins early in the day... I've been taking my vitamins that don't require food in the morning, because I don't eat breakfast and all the rest with dinner. So, today I made sure to take them with my lunch and it is now 7:15 pm and I'm not wishing it was bedtime. Now, I will definitely be taking them much earlier in the day. Thank you for all your videos... you have helped me more times than I can count. You're definitely a life safer... literally.

If eating out he has them hold the sauce and will do big bowls of soups like chicken tortillas but hold the tortillas lol clear broth soups not creamy but orders extra veggies and meat. If he craves a sweet he will have a small bowl of whipped cream comes in a pack of three which has 1 fat, 1 carb , 1 sugar then he adds grated dark chocolate very high content but the whip makes it a decadent treat he switches it up sometimes with mandarin orange slices. He also eats lots of boiled eggs but often takes the yolk out and fills the hole with chopped onions, jalapeños and bell peppers.

@@Drberg I never knew that you have to take Magnesium with D3 ! I was left with the impression that D3+K2 was the way to take it correctly ?
Dr Berg hit the nail on the head , when he said memorizing isn't the same as learning and that is a huge issue with the school system , because they measure a person's knowledge by the testing but what they have done is making them remember so much and then forget half of what they learned 😮
yeah, i’ve always pointed this out to people.
Learning at the lowest level is memorization.Comprehension is understanding and relation knowledge to application is putting the new learning to use.
Even though what you said is true, but the other way around is not true, ie , a good testing score does not always mean students memorize the knowledge. My daughter never memorize her math knowledge, she just knows where it comes from. If she forgot some formulae, she will derive it on the spot during test. Yes, her test score is always close to perfect.
I make the bulk of my own supplements myself. I just bought a 00 capsule press that will press 100 capsules at one time. For my vitamin C, I use Acerola powder. I also press organic wild blueberry powder. I also use pure curcumin and add some black pepper extract. I do buy other supplements, and I buy doctor Bergs brand.

Enough said on all this anyway . Have to protect my liver , at all cost 1st stage of stage 4 cirrhosis. So doctors aren’t listening to me about my liver . So I have to be my own advocate in my health .
I didn't know you could take Nitric Oxide, how is it put in capsules? Thanks
For fatty liver and cirrhosis, try taking 200-300mg vitamin E tocotrienols daily after meals. You'll see less inflammation (lower ALT) within a month.
@@angiekitson-harris4257 I believe you're thinking of nitrous oxide that you might get at the dentist. Completely different things
Exit stage left
I wish you the best❣
At least you know you have your own best interests at heart.♥️🙏🏻✌
We are in lake effect snow area, so in winter not many sunny days. We take 10,000 iu d3.. but i think we should up that this winter.
Also started keto/ intermittent fasting a few months ago and am down 19 pounds!! Have felt so much better, thank you!!
Thinking of moving back home to Minnesota. Thinking of Duluth which has quite a long winter and lake effect snow! Going to miss the weather where we are in West Virginia for sure, but Minnesota will always be home 😢
Umm yes we do realize that.
@susanlango6607 Who peed in your cereal
I strongly support you, Dr. Eric Berg. You are a good guy. There are many people who talk down about you and tarnish your reputation, but you have earned my respect many times over. You also have a great sense of humor bringing just the right amount into your videos. 😄 Bless you! 🙏😇😁
Why would you tell him people talk down on him, talk about a back hand compliment 🙄
That's what happens when you tell the truth.
This year I was diagnosed with an extreme vitamin D deficiency to where it was almost non-existent. I was numb on the left half of my body, head to toe, which led me to get to the doctor. I can also tell you that it takes more than a day for your body to correct itself. I was back to normal in about 2 weeks and to this day still take vitamin d supplements and a little bit of magnesium.
I had a problem with low vit D. One time it was 17 on my blood work. I was taking a ton of vit D3 and also taking fish oil. A different Dr suggested sardines for a different problem. All my joints stopped hurting so fast I didn't even realize it was the sardines at first. Next blood work vit D was 130 (which is getting close to high). I stopped taking all oil and vit D supplements, and just kept eating sardines once a week. Vit D has been at 100 two years in a row. Those sardines changed my life. Don't buy the cheapest ones, and make sure they are in water, not oil. I pour off the juice for my pets and consume the fish. They don't stink and actually taste better than tuna.
@@z31beckI don't get it, you were talking it a ton of? Because you took too many in one day with high doses ? I consumed omega 3, but just one a day esp morning or evening
You are helping me alot dr berg
A lot is 2 words
Dr. Berg, you've convinced me to quit drinking all high caffeine sports drinks with sugar ,MCT oil etc. The brand that I used had 300 mg of caffeine in each. I didn't realize how extremely dangerous they are especially for people like me with coronary plaque and I am 61. I've been feeling sick over the weekend because I have a painful Inguinal hernia and I haven't eaten since Friday because the extra weight in my intestines seems to make it more difficult to go down. So, I have fasted since Friday minus electrolytes and water. Not even drinking coffee. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the post about the sugary highly caffeinated drinks. I never would have dreamed that a coke was healthier then a 300 mg sugary caffeinated drink. which is what I had sometimes 3 x a day....playing with fire like that for sure..should be common sense huh? Have a great morning.everyone.
An energy drink was never really a sports drink.
Sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade don't have caffeine, but are also horrible for the body.
Congrats for getting off energy drinks 🎉
You needed someone to tell you to quit drinking that crap kind of common sense
Just drink water and lemon ….or buy a juicy and blend beets and carrots …celery ..or make a smoothie of spinach and blueberries …that all you need ..don’t not blend fruits ..use lemon as a sweetener ….your body will be grateful ..start with BEET and Carrot and cucumber juice
Start ..fish oil..or krill oil ….please buy natural not synthetic vitamins …google natural vitamins and always…read the back of the bottle ….if you cannot pronounce the name put it back on the self ….Walmart has very many synthetic vitamins ..and shoppers drug mart ( that for people who live in Canada) and Walgreens
Common sense, is not eating sugary at all, except 'red beets' they one of the most healthy Veg.
According to Harvard Medical, the nutrient density of food is down 87% from 1947. So we have to supplement.
Hey! May I ask for source, please?
where is the study?
This is probably counting highly processed foods like pizza pops as “food” if it exists at all.
Ha ha havard . Home of plagiarists, Racist DEI hires. False science papers.
Have a younger female doc who is excited that a 71 yr old is not on any meds and doing great....she loves looking at my supplements and diet and even suggested a good additional supplement for keeping my BP down. There are a few good ones out there...keep looking and ask around. Magnesium glycinate and Epsom salts soaks fixed my nighttime jerky legs. Get a DNA test that shows what mineral and vitamin deficiencies you have. Then build your supplements and diet around that. It made my chronic back and neck pain of 40 yrs fade away. I take Dr Berg's vit D3/k2.
dna tests dont determine missing nutrients
@@jeff-sq4fe they told me what i was susceptible to based on my dna I had my blood tests done and it matched up. MaxGen The Works pointed out what my variants, risks, genetic markers for sensitivities, predispositions , and susceptibilities were...got my blood work to check them out, and the rest is history.
The doctor you found sounds amazing. I wish I could find one like that near me.
Me too.❤
Just blood pressure
When I started taking vitamins, a friend of mine said that multivitamins are basically expensive piss.
There are two different types: mineral-based and food-based. We want food based.
She moved away, so I asked an employee at a Vitimen shop about mineral and food-based, and they needed clarification.
Again, as always, thank you for your videos!
I use Rainbow Light or Jarrow Formula. A third would be Solgar. These aren't cheap but they are good and they are effective. The Rainbow Light is food based and is my multi vitamin. I also eat a quality diet. You are what you eat!!!
You are what u absorb!
I thought with vitamin D3 you needed K2 as well?
@@444brandy you do and I take my K2 right along with my D3.
This is my schedule:
10am:
-fat soluble vitamins (A retinyl palminate, D3, k2 mk-7, fish oil)
-lysine
-NAC
-Also trying to figure out how to get enough calcium around this time, worried im not getting enough. I do eat a lot of Greek yogurt though
1pm:
-methylated b complex
-electrolytes
5pm:
-selenium
-zinc/copper (ratio 10:1)
9pm:
-iron biglycinate
-vitamin c
I also take pumpkin seed oil, spearmint tea & saw palmetto for PCOS. Been taking those in the morning but not sure when the optimal time would be for those. Seems to help
Can you elaborate on your pumpkin seed oil consumption for pcos?? I suffer with pmdd and severe period cramps and I’ve dabbled in supplement/ vitamins/herbal tinctures for a while to help with my pmdd/period
I take , Vitamin D, Magnesium for sleep, Black seed oil,Milk thistle, a prostate capsule, Selenium and Colostrum nightly . All one capsule, except for the Vitamin D,they are small,so i take 4 every 2 days.
I just took vit D and magnesium 5 minutes ago after my lunch
Black seed oil is rich in Omega 6 oils, so you need to balance that with Omega 3's. You need a lot more Omega 3 to balance out the omega 6.
How do feel after taking Black Seed oil?
Black seed oil has a lot of omega 6 which are pro-inflammatory, just like Omega 9. Only Omega 3 is anti inflammatory
Add ZINC + PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN. No carbs.
Your advice is truly appreciated!!! ❤❤❤❤
I prefer skip breakfast and lunch and eat a meal around 5PM, because I am absolutely not hungry. I work out around 4PM, eat, and take my supplements.
@@SergeLabelle so how is your weight? And how are your blood test results?
i worked out while fasting during the mornings because i worked 2nd shift 20 yrs.and ate when i got in at 3pm then walked 4-5 miles a day on the job. when i eat i don't want to do anything so it's perfect to walk it of. nible at 8pm bed at midnight
Dr. Berg, thank you again for another great video. You're easy to listen to and you're spot on in so many of your observations. I'm 62, very fit and active every single day. I was taking supplements regularly for years and then I fell off the wagon. Mainly because I was so healthy, I forgot to maintain. About a month ago I attended a multi-day event which involved some stress, alcohol, and travel. When I returned home I was drained and tired for several days. That was unusual for me, but I ignored it and resumed my regular active life. Big mistake, I came down with shingles! Then I binged a few Dr. Berg vids and got on a regimen of L-Lysine, D3+K2, B12, C. Combo'd with oat and epsom baths, and staying home with a good book... the shingles thankfully never really "blossomed". I'm 95% recovered but still forcing myself to keep resting until I'm 100%. I definitely will stay on the wagon with the supplements this time.
I feel like with most supplements, as you gradually increase the dosage, so do the symptoms of the deficiency improves.
But then there's some that really feel like an "all or nothing" situation. Where if the dosage is too low, you may feel no difference at all. But if it's high enough, you can feel a drastic improvement.
A big one for me was Vitamin E Tocotrienols. Very expensive in my opinion, I only took the recommended dosage for a year and barely felt a difference. But once I doubled the dosage, OMG the chest pains that I would get throughout the day are gone. Once you've had a heart attack, having any subtle to major chest pains throughout the day can be quite traumatizing and make you kinda paranoid. Tocotrienols may be quite expensive, but now that I've gotten the full experience/ improvements. I can definitely say that it's one of the few expensive supplements that is well worth it for me.
Dr. Barrie Tan has a great vitamin E (tocotrienols) supplement but, like you say, it is very expensive. The last time I purchased it, I spent about $100 for a 60-day supply. That was before the Inflation Reduction Plan (Bidenomics) kicked in so it's probably double that cost now. I can't do that stuff anymore.
@@GamersForTruth I don't take vitamin E b/c it thins my blood (I guess). I get nosebleeds- garlic does it to me as well, and I could take it when I was younger. Do the tocotrienals do that?
What supplement brand do you take? Is it good for anything else? Thanks!
What brand you take and how much dose you take
@@amm2472 The brand is Wellness Extract and it's around $30 for 60x 125mg softgels. They have a 300mg option for $60, for me to get really notice the difference I gotta take 2 of the 125mg or 1x 300mg.
Dr. Berg, just a small adjustment. ELECTROLYTES do not push water out of the body, rather keep the body cells saturated with fluids. Pure water makes you go to pee, but if you add little salt, potassium, magnesium, no need to go to urinate during the night as much. Personal experience is the same in my case. Same in case of workout at the gym. Pure water does not saturate the body as properly as electrolyte mix.
I can also relate to swallowing too many supplements at once without enough water ... the I-am-gonna-die phase is real 😅
For everyone, always take PROBIOTICS at least 2 hours after taking ANTIBIOTICS.
Thanks for the info
My favourite supplements: vit C, vit D, magnesium, b-complex with methylfolate, nicotanimide, glycine, ...inulin.. whey.. creatine..
I'm trying to reduce my eye pressure to save my optic nerves. I understand my puffy legs now. Thank you
Dr. Berg, have you changed your mind about taking K2 with the D3? You didn't mention that with the D3. I have been taking Magnesium Glycinate since the first visit with my holistic doctor. But frankly, you are the one that has saved my life and showed me how to eat my way out of Diabetes 2 and explained to me a great many things that doctors don't do.
I think whoever wrote this omitted it as alot of people also discussing how he spoke about c and b as fat soluble but they are water soluble
Thanks Dr. Berg! You're awesome man, you've help me and my family for the last few years. We are lucky to have someone like you around! Keep up the good work man
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Vitamin C and the B vitamins are water soluble, not fat.
Hot water
Obviously, but dont mix thiamine or vitamin C with hot water please. 🙄 That would be such a waste of nutrients...
Ooopsiees! Editing error!
I was just going to post this too thanks!
My memory of fat soluble vitamins are “Kade” (I pronounce “ Katie” to remember.
He probably made a mistake. It happens to Dr Berg too 😂
Dr. Berg, thank you indeed for your priceless contribution to the business.
I would highly appreciate if you could answer my following questions:
I am 42 yers old. I workout several times a week I workout in the early mornings on an empty stomach.
1) Is there any problem if I combine Creatine and Glutamine right after the workout? Is there any other suggestion? (I have my first meal in about 1,5-2 hours after the training session.
2) Can I take Citrulline before the session on an empty stomach as always?
Thank you a lot.
After reading the book by Jeff Bowles I began to experiment with my Vit D3 intake. I saw some real benefits when I got up to 70k units daily, w/K2, of course. I sent the book to my 89 year old mother and she increased her own intake and commented how good she feels lately, she even started to bake again, she has so much energy... and she's only up to 20k units! Vit D is a key player in so many things, I'm convinced of it!!
And I only take 5000 IU’s and thought that was a lot. But I’ve felt like I need more as my energy level has not been good. I think I will experiment with a little more
My Dr called me after last lab and said my vitamin d was dangerously high? Is that possible? D2k3 and Dr Zelenkos Zstack which has 5000
Hi I just started Natures Bounty D3 (5000ui) my Rheumatologist said she takes this 5 days a week. I also take 3mgs of Folic Acid daily due to a medication I take. Do you have any recommendations for other vitamins to add or any certain brands? Thank you in advance.
Yes K2 is crucial, but it's not that simple, as it needs to be in the trans form and not the cis form. Some manufacturers are mute about this, and worse, in studies that have tested a variety of suppliers, the amount of trans k2 can be woefully low. A 2016 study even reported that a third of K2 only products they tested contained no K2 at all. I couldn't find a reference now, but I'm pretty sure that K2 trans, such as found in natto, can turn in the inactive cis isomer during processing, and so companies claiming that their K2 is guaranteed to be 100% trans form because it's derived from natto could be false unless they test what they're actually putting in the bottles. So along with taking K2, I think it's important to get calcium levels checked to make sure they're not going up due to K2 not working or being at an incorrect dosage.
@@jamiemcmahon9638 Like Dr Berg said in this video, Vit D3 needs to be taken every day. And since I don't know you or your medical history, I'd never make any recommendations for you. I can suggest searching Dr Berg's channel for medical issues that concern you for any kinds of supplements that he suggests. That's what I've been doing and I've never felt better. Best of luck to you!
"Memorizing Learning and Understanding" Well said. Ideally, this phrase should be on a warning sticker slapped on the brochure of every university in our country.
😂yes!
However, if you have a good memory and recall and are able to use that information to understand and do exceptionally well on non multiple choice exams, you are golden!
Nevermind some doctors practices.
Easy to suggest we check with our doctor... trouble is, most "regular" gp type docs have NO clue about natural approaches to staying healthy. Some don't even know how the immune system works! Medicine has become quite a puzzle for those of us who prefer not to stuff ourselves with drugs for symptoms only, not ever finding out root causes of the symptomatology. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your informative videos!
I take a lot whole plant or seed suppliments (ashwagandha, clove, marjoram, cayenne, fenugreek, rosemary, milk thistle and this year i collected my own nettle, peppermint, dandelion, goldenrod and made capsules) these are whole food supplements for me
When it comes to potassium, since it's kind of hard to get enough from the diet and even supplements (outside of electrolyte powders which often have some fillers and other ingredients you don't want), recently I added potassium chloride (salt) to the himalayan salt I was using mainly just to get more potassium out of the diet and I feel better.
It has also some sodium chloride + potassium iodide (very small percentages, under 1%), but the main is potassium chloride and now I use the himalayan just as a finishing salt. Obviously, not every meal needs salt and you should be careful with it, but I think that is some unexpensive and safe way to increase your potassium intake.
When it comes to supplements overall, right now I only take omega 3 or cod liver oil (I switch them up, I use Rosita Cod Liver Oil), vitamin d3 + k2 (Viridian) and magnesium bisglycinate (Viridian). Viridian is a good brand, I think, though It is somewhat expensive, because their dosage is usually lower (and I just take 2-3 capsules of vitimain d3 rather than 1), but if I trust the ingredients list, they don't have any crap in it. There are some other obscure brands that seem to have quality supplements, but you need to make your own research, because too many brands use magnesium stearate, sillicon dioxide and other caking agents, fillers and crap that you need to avoid..
Try to avoid maltodextrin as well, especially in vitamin C pills.
@@stanleyyu2079 Of course, that is a good suggestion and I meant it in the umbrella term "crap" :D
Besides, Vitamin C is fairly easy to get from whole foods, so better to consume it from peppers, a bit of lemons, leafy greens, grapefruits occasionally etc. Or if it's from supplements, try to find some better ones like from camu camu fruit, acerola or rose hips, or anything similar.
Super!😊 What time do you eat breakfast and lunch? AND IF? Also, do you have a video on how much of vitamins we need each day? Mag, calcium, D’s, B?? Thanks!
DR. BERG!!!!!! I literally ordered like 8 supplements (including your d3 and k2 lol) to take lol and they got here YESTERDAY and you just made this video. I swearrrrrrrrrrrrr the timing of your videos and my life is crazy lol.
I was taking the d3 and k2 supplement and when my doctor did my annual blood test, the vitamin d level was almost toxic. I had to stop taking that supplement before it did any damage.
@@brendas1346How often do you take that vitamin
The pharmacutical industry demonize vitD obviously they would say you have too much of it 😂 DrBerg made a video specifically about it go look it up
Enjoy!
@@brendas1346doctors standards a very low …vitamin D is determined by …Age …race …weight ……your range should be 80-100 ..so if your vitamin D is over 100 is toxic….below not toxic
This is a truly eye-opening take on the common mistakes many of us make when it comes to taking supplements. I never realized how important timing and quality were, or the risks of mixing certain supplements with medications. The insight about synthetic vitamins, the right doses, and potential drug interactions is so helpful! It also makes me rethink how crucial vitamin D is for our health, especially in higher doses than we've been told. Thank you for shedding light on these critical points-definitely going to adjust my supplement routine!
You missed an important caveat to adding probiotics when on antibiotics. Antibiotics will counter out the effects of probiotics if you take them at the same time. People you need to take them at least two hours apart from each other. I was pleasantly surprised when the pharmacist told me that (which I already knew).
Is it better that you take probiotics after antibiotic ? Or take probiotic during antibiotic course, just 2 hrs apart? It just kills the probiotic
@@antares5683the last time I had to take antibiotics, I took probiotics during the antibiotics course and also after. Now I actually take probiotics pretty much with every meal, not in the form of capsules but with natural foods
Thank you Dr.BERG
My pleasure!
A couple months ago I went off all my supplements just to see what was what. I discovered that the Turmeric, that I was taking to alleviate inflammation actually caused me to have painful joints, especially in areas of my body that had previous injuries. The exact opposite of what I was trying to accomplish!
It causes my diverticulitis to act up. Stop taking it. It's good to keep a diary of alignments.
Oxalates
Is it possible it was the brand..? Using binders or fillers..?
Many spices are found to contain lead & arsenic
A delightful man and Doctor. Thank you, Dr. B!
Very glad to be of help.
Vitamin C and B vitamins are actually water soluable, and not fat soluable. Note: I do like your channel a lot and watch it all the time. We all make mistakes.
Just remember vitamins A,D,E,K are oil soluble, need to take with meal
There are liposomal versions of many vitamins, including vitamin C. This makes vitamin C more absorbable.
And vit c is displaced by carbs/sugar iiirc. And stress.
Benfotiamine is a lipid-soluble derivative of thiamine. The increased lipid solubility of benfotiamine allows it to penetrate nerve cells more easily.
I take liposomal b and c vitamins bc it's more bioavailable... The difference is very noticeable
You are so knowledgeable in a lot of areas.That is why I am subscribed to your channel.😊 And this makes a lot of sense.
You're welcome! It's great that you found the information helpful.
Vitamin K is also great to take with D-3. Do NOT take any herbs if you're on an Antidepressant. I learned this the hard way.
K2
Oh no…, why?
K is not to be taken with D3. It's K2 which should be taken with D3. K & K2 are totally different. K is for clotting factor. Many get these confused (even on internet medical posts).
K2 is to be taken with D3 (not K). They are completely different. K is for blood clotting. Many get these confused (even internet medical posts). Please don't take K.
K2 with D3 (not K). K is for blood clotting. Please do not take K.
Thank you Dr Berg, for such Vital Information.I am a type 2 diabetic. My last Dr appointment my A1c was a tad above eight. My doctor was up set. He said " why do you do this"? The response was, if needles didn't make the hair on the back of my neck , I would shoot sugar directly in to my veins. Besides there is sugar in everything. What am I to eat? He said "eat the air"
Then I found you.
Some years ago, I felt bothered by the fact that I was very thirsty when I woke up. Where I live, Sweden, the air is dry and it sucks you dry when you sleep. So I started to drink half a liter of water before I went to bed. For a week to ten days, I had to pee in the middle of the night but then my body adjusted and I slept all night long. I have noticed that if I don’t fall asleep, I do have to pee. Sometimes I drink an entire liter. Unrelated to vitamin but it’s really nice to be properly hydrated while sleeping.
Have you thought of a cool water vaporizer for the bedroom?
@@twobearshomestead No, it’s not hot enough for me to buy one. I really like the fact that I’m only slightly thirsty when I wake up
Also probably you sleep with your mouth open. And then you only need to take one mouthful of water and swish it around your mouth for a bit. Don’t drink too much before bed
I take lots of supplements. I’m starting to eat organic. Dr William Li said the nutrients in organic vegetables and fruits are so high. That would mean I won’t need so much vitamin supplements. And I don’t take antibiotics meds for years. When I need antibiotics, I’ll take oregano EO. It’s a natural antibiotics.
@Dr.EricBerg I’m confused 🤔… I’ve followed you for several years & you used to recommend Vitamin K with D3, but now you recommend Magnesium instead? Or should I still take K2? Grateful for an answer - Thank you 🙏🏼
I'd like to know that too! ☺️
You should take all three together.
@@Drberg Thank you so much for the reply! 🙏🏻
From India! ☺️
@LitlaLjufa Hey! So what would be the dosage of all three you'd be taking, per day?
And would it be with a meal (towards the end)?
@@Drberg Thank you for taking the time to answer 🙏🏼‼️ Much appreciated 👍🏼😊

Choline is good for the liver, especially to reverse and clean fatty liver - often best ingested from eggs, spinach, and parsley. (source: Dr. Ken Berry)
I learnt that same information from here from Dr Berg, that’s why I added choline a few years back. So much great knowledge being shared online.

Actually did have a family member die from choking on supplements. My dad’s cousin, who wasn’t in very good health, induced a heart attack while choking.
I do take a lot of supplements and have trialed a lot to try and help my tinnitus, but if I want to try something new, I try to introduce it as a single ingredient, not something like ‘tinnitus relief - that will have 5 different things in it.
I'm curious to know & am humbly asking if you found anything that helped or healed /helped with the tinnitus, or at least improved the symptoms?
I have days when it's better, but not sure if it's due to a specific supplement or dietary choice. I am experimenting with Saturated beef fat (Suet to be exact) that I fry & eat with beef & water.
I eat mostly ruminant animal meats at the moment due to digestive issues that were really bad months ago, & getting better thanks to help from pple like Dr Berg. Getting my stomach acid levels up to help break down food, as well as getting my gall bladder restored to something closer to proper % function has been a journey that's not easy, but well worth the troubles.
I hope you found relief in Tinnitus, & I hope to as well 1 day.
Regards,
@@here_for_the no, not really. I know what makes it worse, high glutamate (msg), alcohol and illness, but not much to make it better. For me, I think it is part of years of migraines, so I have focused on nutrients that researchers have found help for traumatic brain injuries. I was just listening to one of Andrew Huberman's podcasts and the scientist he was interviewing was talking about TBI's and I will continue to try things that have been shown to heal the brain. Like now I am going to up my Cod Liver Oil. The scientist on huberman was talking about 3-5 grams per day to heal the brain, but I take at most just one gram, if I remember to take it at all. I have had tinnitus for 13 years though, so I dont hold out much hope. I mainly work on just having good sleep habits, because that is the part that really drives me nuts, the impact it has on my sleep. And your brain wont heal without good sleep.

I am listening to you and how you explain things ... I don't know if your a dad but I bet you are a great father figure.
Thank you Dr.Berg!
Heh not long ago I was getting calls from my rheumatologist to stop taking vitamin D immediately, my levels were too high. The voicemails sounded so urgent, thry even called my husband- every time they called me I was at work so I couldn't answer. I was like, wow it's ok, I'm fine.
I remembered your video on questionable vitamin D OD and was like, meh..no symptoms lol
Can you believe that a cardiologist told me that “you can never get rid of calcium once you have it”. I was dumbfounded!! Thank you for your insights and advice.
Meaning arterial build up?
Dr Berg, you are a such a beautiful human being, you've helped me so much in my health journey. I can only imagine what you must go through to get us this information. And being able to lay all of your mistakes on the table like you do takes an impressively humble and forthcoming person. An inspiration as always
I have practically stopped aging since I started following Dr. Berg's advice almost 4 yrs ago. Nobody believes me when I tell them I am 46 yrs old. They say I look in my 30's.
Agreed, I look at people I know that are the same age as I am and they look +10 years older.
@@SpamMouse my friends look awful compared to myself , it’s breaks my heart to see them fail
It was looking at people age around me that was a driving factor to learn about skin and health etc. Hope you have a great weekend. 👍
