- Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms and Sources to Reverse it: bit.ly/2CR4Fhc
In this video, I’m going to talk about the benefits of vitamin D as well as symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. In certain studies, Americans have been found to be the #1 population in vitamin D deficiency.
Some of the main symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are a weakened immune system, candida or bacterial overgrowth, emotional ups and downs, hormone imbalance, trouble putting on muscle or losing weight, weakened bones or teeth, cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. Vitamin D supports having a healthy immune response, digestive health, hormone balance, and more.
The biggest causes of vitamin D deficiency are not getting enough sunlight, certain chemicals from plastic bottles (BPA), and toxicity. Try to get outside every day for about 20-30 minutes of natural sunlight.
Certain foods that are sources of vitamin D are wild caught fish, raw fermented milk, mushrooms, and eggs. However, there are small amounts in the food you eat.
For a good supplement, I would recommend a high-quality vitamin D supplement. You don’t want to take vitamin D2, but you do want to take vitamin D3. For supplementation, take about 2000-5000 IUs a day. However, if you have a severe deficiency, then for 1-2 months, you may take 5000 IUs twice daily. Lastly, you want to take your vitamin D3 with some form of fat like coconut oil or avocado to help absorption in your body.

I have been suffering for 5 years! My doctor told me I was just fat and that I needed to lose weight but I could barely moved I had pain everywhere in my body, dizzy spells, nausea, fatigue, headache, and brain fog. I became depressed and even suicidal. Yesterday I found out that my vitamin d levels are at an 8. I have been so sick! I will start taking vitamin d and I pray I will get my health back.
Oh wow that's not the nicest thing for your doc to say!! It is key to figure out why you are vitamin D deficiency the root cause !
Have you had any success?
This is the truth. I am an African man and I live in the States. I was having all sorts of health problems and tried everything. All the scans and nothing worked. Then a friend of mine said to go do a test for vitamin D deficiency. Found out i was so low beyond critical. Got on vitamin D3 supplement and all my ailments went away.
Half of African Americans in the U.S are low on vitamin D, hope you spread the word 👍🏽
wow! ,,i am into vitamin d now because i am trying to avoid the dentist ,anyway i haven't taken a vitamin d supplement in ages ,,,yesterday i emptied a 50,000 iu capsule in my mouth ans swallowed,,,and my next bowel movement was a perfect one piece and my pee was a beautiful yellow,, as far as i know the way your bowel movement looks is a fantastic gauge on how healthy you are,,i haven't had a perfect bowel movement in quite a while
Bro can u please tell after hown many days or weaks u recovered completely after using vit D suplmnts?
Ayaz Ahmad it takes a few months or two months.
@@TheGlowingOnee u were having pains...like in legs ...hips...?
Taking vitamin D supplements cured my depression. 🙏🏾
What brand did you take and how much?
@@dianelindenberger6941 Dr Bergs work
Which brand?
Woah! That is awesome. 🙏👍
How much did you take IU?
Who would gives this info thumbs down? People are so insane. Thank you for the free info
Hehe, probably people with a vitamin D deficiency.
I was so sick from my vitamin D deficiency that my doctor did all this blood work and we couldn't figure out what it was.. Finally my doctor called a psychologist (they thought I was depressed but I know my own body and I wasn't) and thankfully he recommended that we test my vitamin D.. Thank god he did because it was less than half of what it was supposed to be. I'm finally back up to a healthy level but my doctor still recommended that I continue taking 5,000 units a day because I'm no where near to much.
Get your vitamin D checked!
Hi, what kind of symptom were you having btw. As I have vitamin D deficiency. And have metal problem.. I e anxiety, stress, panic, fear etc. Just wondering if that can be the cause. That's all my blood work showed, was vitamin D deficiency. Thanks.
yes! I am on medication for my mental illness and i have been very stable for the past two years.. i defintly felt a change in mu body when i started taking vitamin D. I was ALWAYS tired. Ive never been so tired in my life. i felt like flu like sick all the time.. It felt like my body was just slowing down more and more everyday. When i started taking the vitamin i got energy and i also didnt get sick after i ate. I think it can be diferent for other people
+FlyingMonkies325 hi hon
Try testing for polycystic ovarian syndrome and also check your prolactin levels and don't forget your vitamins D test.
Good luck !!
I have polycystic ovarian syndrome PCOS and also a prolactinoma (3mm pituitary tumour)
+Enkey Winter thank you! I just had to have an ultra sound due to pain on my sides. Is that how it is checked? It
Came back normal
+cspace6257 dang that's crazy. They thought at first I had mono. So I was tested for everything possible but the vitamin d
I love this guy, am learning so much. Am glad to live in a era of youtube knowledge, there's a bright side to the Internet
Glad to know that there are Poeple in this world like u
Paul Tremblay Do you know how dumb you sound right now?
yeah,,most youtube doctors are boring he is actually interasting
True
@@VilinaRai You do know he's not an actual medical doctor?
Notes:
-get at least 20-30 min of sunlight(for me I will try to get at least of 1hr midday in winter)
-eat wild salmon
-take 2,000ius-5,000ius(I will be taking 5,000ius)
-take it with fat(fish oil, avocado, eggs) so that it absorbs properrly
I have been experiencing a lot of the symptoms you listed. I found out today that my vitamin D level is at an 11. I was prescribed a pill to take weekly for 12 weeks. I had no idea vitamin D is so important! Thanks for your video.
Georgianna Warren very very important... keep taking it your whole life please ...i live in Belgium im white and my level was 0 and wanted to kill myself, smoking doest help it either
You shouldn't take a "weekly" dose of Vitamin D3, you're far better off taking a daily dose of 10,000IU per day. Mega doses on a weekly basis don't do very much. You should also take it with Vitamin K2, around 180mcg for every 5,000IU of Vitamin D3.
Were you healed and back to feeling better? Did you get your Vitamin D checked again and did it elevate? If so what was it?
@@MattSamson83 they may have been prescribed 50,000 units, which you cant buy over the counter. I was prescribed that amount to take once a week as well...because my vitamin d level was at a 10, when the minimum for people is supposed to be at 30. So a tad low lol
@@stephl.5334my vitamin level also 10 I have middle back pain and hand pain what symptoms do u have .and how long it takes to recover
when I was in the uk where the sun doesnt come up, I was suffering from it.
The minute I moved away, I got cured!
Nothing can replace sunlight.
Yes yes again YES.
No sun in UK . Are you thick
meld beach no sun in the U.K.? Muppet
Well it's 26deg at the moment and only 7am .. quite hot enough thanks
It's almost dark today in Yorkshire England 4/8/20.
I just turned 30 last week and went in for my yearly check up and my blood results showed my vitamin D level at 13. I live in Ohio so it's not uncommon apparently but this explains the depressed, no sex drive I've been experiencing. I'm excited to get my levels to normal range.
What is a normal range and for what ages male & female.
You should watch Dr. Berg videos on vitamin D3, you should take it with K2 so the calcium gets put in the right places like your bones and teeth. 13 is so low! You will be shocked by the amount of IUs Dr. Berg recommends!
Did you get your D fixed, and did it help your depression and sex drive?
I don't know if you have already done so, but if not, could you please do a video for Vegetarians regarding the vitamin supplements we need and how to know for sure what we need and the best ways to take them? I've been a vegetarian for almost twenty years and only in the last two years or so I have had some major deficiency issues. I had found a Dr. Who recognized the deficiencies and gave me B12 shots as well as supplements for my vitamin D and Anemia issues, but she retired after her third child and I haven't found another Dr like her that really listens to me and addresses my Vegetarian diet. Any suggestions or if you could do a video on the vegetarian diet and our supplemental needs would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information you share with us! I am a holistic killer and I have been talking about all of this information for years and people look at me like I’m crazy, but with doctors such as yourself speaking out, people are trusting the holistic world more and more!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
I've been taking vitaminD 3days!!! I'm not sure but my anxiety is little bit gone away👀Perhaps it was caused by hormone balance. I do continue taking for a while!
I lived in mediterrenean my whole life, Greece Turkey Israel Lebanon. Moved to Sweden, no sun, always dark... Shitty and for two years studied indoors, got really sick, felt much better back in Greece again. Sun. Is. Life. 🙌
I go out in the sun every day shirtless.
Also, if you are having hair shedding (not male pattern baldness), you may be Vitamin D deficient and going out in the sun can stop it fairly fast.
Travis Kraft...I went out shirtless and now I need bail money. Help.
It’s freezing out side... and shirtless could get me in to trouble...
Travis Kraft you need minerals like selenium
make sure to wear sunscreen (all recent evidence shows it barely affects vitamin D production) but yeah definately get some sun
Well, I live in Arizona and I'm still vitamin D deficient lol
Great information. Seattlelites NEED to see this and believe more on those symptoms. Doctors NEED to see and medicate less and pay more attention to this deficiency. Thank you for posting💕
Someone I know was diagnosed with low Vit D, Doctor prescribed 400ui tablets… didn’t really change much. Moved onto 4000ui and the improvement was immense
I agree! The average recommendations are too low, it was not until I swithced to 5000 iu (with oils) I saw drastic improvement. You want your levels to be in the higher and not lower range of normal, for sure.
@@naominaomi6508 The RDA of 400 is likely if someone isnt already deficient just to maintain a proper amount. Its definitely not for those who have a deficiency. Also "normal" is a score of 30 or higher from a regular doctor. Endocrinologists want you to be inbetween 40 and 60.
@@moderaterevolution504 I used to be around 8 ng, and was treated with very high dosage from endocrinolog. I got my levels up to 50 ng, and then was treated with calcium for several months. Too many doctors forget this important factor, that with a deficiency, we are automatically deficient in calcium. Body must have sufficient amounts of vitamin d for calcium to be absorbed. No doctor has ever told me this, only the endicronlogist.
Unfortunetely my levels dropped back to low levels over the years, and I had docs telling me my levels were fine (20 ng, considered to be just within normal range for many docs where I live).
We also have to fight getting docs to take tests as the "test is too expensive". We are adviced to take supplements; 10 - 20 mcg. It is ridiculous.
I think if a person is naturally higher in vitamin d, can absorb it well from sunlight and has access to sun big parts of the year, 400 IU could be just fine. But that is not the case for many.
@@naominaomi6508
What oils?
@@allwillberevealed777 Oils that are added to the supplement, preferably organic olive oil. Or just take them with some fats, so it absorbs easier.
Could not figure out why I was so ill one winter. Vitamin D level was 7. Sure did not take long to start feeling better after that was corrected. Mentally and physically I was a wreck. Watch this carefully it’s no joke.
How much the dosage u taked?
Is 20 low? I’ve been feeling terrible and doctor said it was normal?
How long did it take you to feel better
Great information! As a teen, my teeth enamel eroded and my bones were very weak to the point where dentists asked if I was bulimic. I also constantly felt freezing cold due to vitamin D deficiency. After prescribed high dosages of Vitamin D and going out in the sun for 45 minutes a day (even with sunscreen), these symptoms have greatly diminished. Also, I am not sure if there is sufficient research to back this up, but taking TURMERIC (curcumin) with many of my vitamins has greatly helped my health. Most times, nature is the nurture!
Thank you Dr. Axe, very informative! I was sick as a dog for more than a month, my doc assumed it's pollen allergy but it turned out I'm very Vitamin D defficent (mark 18 from 100). Never thought "just a vitamin" can be so important.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone. It uses calcium to activate D3 in the body which will be used for hundreds of functions in the body. Ask the doctor to take a calcium deficiency test as well.
Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 both convert to the same active form. The difference is that D2 breaks down quickly in the system whereas D3 remains very much longer. But your advice on the dosage of Vtramin D is absolutely correct, unlike some other TH-cam doctors. Also note that a function of Vit D is to convert calcium into strengthening bones. But in the elderly it deposits calcium on blood vessel linings. To correct this and have the calcium go toward bone strength, Vitamin K2 will correct the problem.
I take 10,000IU of Vitamin D3 and 360mcg of Vitamin K2 per day.
@@MattSamson83 Hi Matt. You need to be careful with high doses, as if high enough, there may be a risk of causing problems. I know directly that 10,000 IU of D3 is safe (although unnecessary, unless you have an extraordinary demand on D3 in your system). I can't advise if there are potential issues with your D2 dose, but it's probably OK. Remember, I'm not a doctor, but have the formal training to give intelligent, informed and unbiased comments. You should consider that while taking doses higher than the commonly recommended ones (which are usually minimum recommended dosage) there is both no point in taking too much over the most effective dose, because it's a wasted effort as you are gaining no extra benefit, and also the unused extra quantity may possibly head you toward unwanted peripheral issues. The problem is, with many vitamins, there can be disagreement over minimum effective dose/most useful and effective dose/maximum safe dose i.e., the level above which unwanted/potentially harmful side effects may occur. So, while I think you are OK, ir's unlikely you need that much of either, and tread warily with high doses. As with many things, you approach a point where "more ain't necessarily better".
@@MattSamson83 If you are taking that amount you should get tested at least twice a year to make sure you arent overdoing it. You can have too much vitamin D.
Thank you Doctor. You explained everything so nicely. I've been told that I'm deficient of vit. D and this may be why I've been feeling so bad and tired . I bought some yesterday.
this dude just cured everything wrong with me
I agree with the mental health symptom. I recently started taking H&B 25um and my mental has been improved dramatically. I haven't felt like this for a long time. I might not need medication for my anxiety and mild depression soon! Thanks Dr Axe.
It's why we love being out side. We feel good doing out side activities!
Stuck in a building with no windows for 8-10 hours a day. few hours of sunlight... sounds healthy!
Have a water filter, drink from non plastic cup or glass always. Take a good supplement. I take Source of life, vitamins from fruits and vegetables with meals. Buy organic food. Take sunlight for 20 minutes at day. Get a goodnight sleep , if you can't ,try lavender oil on a diffuser before going to bed. Have a positive actitud.
Glass????
Perfect summary Maxula
Me 2
There are glass water bottles with a rubber case around it. They are sold everywhere. (Target, Walmart, the internet...) The cases come in a variety of colors.
I got rid of all my plastic food containers. I’m doing like my grandma did and using canning jars, and my glass cookware sets with lids. It’s made a world of difference.
If I have to take food to an event I just get the cheep foil ones at the store. Cook my food in it and take it to the event. I come home empty handed because I don’t need my dish back.
I miss ☀️ , I’m going back to Africa, this British winter weather is depressing, I was depressed for no reason, I had to hustle this video. Cheers.
My immune system is extremely strong. I went for my annual physical is when I was informed that I was Vitamin D3 deficient, I had know idea no symptoms that I was aware of.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make the world better place for everyone by good health so on. I really appreciate it. Good on you. Keep up the good work.
Dr. Axe, I appreciate all of your help and the information you give has really been life changing for me. I have one request though...when you talk about things like getting in the sun to increase the amount of Vitamin D in our system, would you please include the fact that it may take longer than 20 to 30 minutes for people of color to absorb the needed amount of sunlight and helpful suggestions for us too. Thanks a lot.
That certainly can be a challenge and therfore even more important to keep a check on your levels and supplement accordingly with d3 and k2 ..even though I am light skinned I have a hard time keeping my d levels up to par so I have to supplement 10k iu s daily with k2 ..It's a struggle 🙃
Get this. Been dealing with SIBO for 3 months. Started taking vitamin D and next thing you know the bacteria issue is gone in 2 days.
People with SIBO, take vitamin D!
Christian Thames what was s SIBO
Christian Thames ~ Christian can you plz explain what that is? Thanks
@@Mia-wh9gd SIBO is an acronym for "small intestine bacterial overgrowth"
It's when the bacteria that should be in your lower intestines and bowels climb up into your small intestine. Causes all sorts of issues and irritation
this is super true! i had gastritis, gerd, ibs, hiatal hernia, and heartburn. vitamin d got rid of everything except the hernia!
My teeth were sensitive to sugar and foods and I thought I just needed a dentist but since taking the vitamin they’re not sensitive anymore
Mee too
@@ebisc966 me tree
Omg me too! I have an infection under the tooth root that the dentist said the body has to heal on its own bec it's already been treated properly but still doesn't heal completely... I hope upping my vit d3 level can help heal it🙏
@@leogirl8927 Were you taking vitamin K2 along with vitamin D3?
After developing SIBO I became anemic and developed severe vit D deficiency.. it was at 8! Anything under 50 is deficient. I’ve got a spray that’s 3000 whit I have twice a day, so 6000. Should I have more? It’s been around 2 months and I feel better than I did before, literally thought I was dying no joke, so fatigued and severe depression. I feel alive again. Still get tired some days so thinking I should up my dose?
That's great, Doctor Axe! May God bless you always for every good you have done! Hugs from Brazil!
Amen!
Love Dr. Axe.....straight talk and lots of knowledge along with helpful tips.
Great info, as always! Can you also address Vitamin A and K (or any other) requirements needed for optimal Vitamin D absorption?
Magnesium 100%
Yes you have a point there..I have since started supplementing with cod liver oil which has d3 vitamin a and Omegas . I also still take my d3 and k2 and mag though but I am feeling. Some better and hoping my eyesight improves ...
Can it cause under eye swelling?
Thank you for making this, my doctor said to look into Vitamin D deficiency. I'm an indoor person so I don't get enough sunlight at all. I'm very pale 😅
It’s very ok to be pale (I am, too), but try to eat a balanced, healthy diet and go and walk for exercise. I’m 70, and with COVID conditions, I have been walking as much as I can, I now feel the better than at any younger time in my life. I live in the north and don’t get much sunshine, and do take 2000 units vit D3.
Dermatologists have people cautious & paranoid about going outside without using sunscreen or sunblock. A dermatologist told me to use it even if I’m outside for only 20 minutes. I only use it if I’m at the beach. If the weather permits i usually spend an hour to an hour and a half a day outside jogging.
Correct. There is no safe amount of sun exposure. I'd recommend supplements to someone wanting to get their vitamin D levels up.
MAN I feel better with Vitamin D, my teeth where getting loose and soft and stuff. I'm a nutritionist and I just overlooked this bad boy...
Hu
Make sure you take it with K2 so the calcium gets put in the right places like your teeth and bones.
@@kimmcewan7540 what is K2?! Thanks!
Thanks for clarifying. Buying vitamins can be confusing with all the various choices. You know you need them...but often times I'm in the aisle like "Hun?" Thanks Dr. Axe!
I've just been diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency by the doctors. She's put me on 10,000iu every day for a week, then once a week for 3 months.. I got the symptoms you mentioned. I just never realised it was vitamin d doing it. I hope it doesn't take me long to recover. Thanks for the video Dr Axe.
Did you recover?
@@davidgardner8959 yes. Make sure you take magnesium with it though.
What symptoms went away and how long after?
So you remember what you vitamins level was back then? You did 10,000 daily for a week and then followed by how much IU’s weekly?
Dr axe is really comforting.
Dr. Axe
Thank you for taking the time to up load these videos, they are very informative.
What brand of vitamins do you recommend?
Excellent presentation!
Wow - professional advise and NOT trying to sell something THANK YOU ! I am doing exactly as you say, that was 'right on the 'mark' of my own doctor . I have been getting hair loss / bald spots due to very low vitamin D (hormone) deficiency, as well . Essential oil massages with Peppermint oil and almond oil , is working wonders . I also lay on my stomach across the bed with my head hanging over , letting oxygen rich blood go straight to my scalp . Simple solutions to a deficiency that can be extremely harmful .
Enjoyed ..not really but it is the most clear..no nonsense ..thorough..effective in helping deliver the key info to apply .Thank you for this awesome video.G-D BLESS YOU.
I felt ver weak....hard to get up even....done so many tests....only vitamin D was critically low in my sys.
....
took vitamin D and back to health .....
How long did it take you to recover? Weeks? Months?
How much level u had
hi Dr.Axe , thanks a million for the incredible videos. They are very informative and everything is explained in a detailed yet a simplified manner..keep up with the gr8 job..waiting for more such videos.☺
I like how you make the most important review of each theme.
11 years old boy how much need vitamin D IU?
I’m Here in 2020 Thanks for the info
I'm here in 2030 bro
You are the best doctor i have seen..thank you very much your marvellous informations.
This helped me so much. I had some health issues and out of bloodtests came i have vit d deficiency. Hopefully it will be okay
I am now 73 and lost Vitamin D daily during lock down. Over the space of 2 years I saw people get old even the young. I recommend Vitamin D and K1 and 2 to redress your body in advancing health. Together with a little excersise you will benifits greatly in you mind, blood pressure correcting itself and evading possible early onset dementia and
Diabetes. Strokes and other symptoms of low nourishment. These simptoms are bunched together deliberately. DR. Axe I honour your wisdom, you put this together over a period of time and I am acting on your advice. BLESS YOU.
I had some blood work done recently and was give Vitamin D3 50000 once a week and also placed on Omega 3 4 caps daily. I'm Very dark skin however love being in the sun without sun screen. My level vitamin D level was 10.3. thanks for this video great explanation of how Vitamin D helps the body.
How long before you felt better. I have pigment in my skin. Tolerate the sun well but due to 10 years of working at night before I became disabled I 've just been living in a room for last couple of years and didn't realize. I was prescribed from a clinic after I tested at 6 so no advice came with the rx. But added one omega 3 myself. Now I 'll be checking about taking more.
It really should be known to all black people, that they likely have low vitamin D. Its something every doctor should tell them about, and test them for. A high percentage of white people even have it.
What brands do you recommend Dr Axe?
This helped so much in my nutrition project on vitamin D lol
¹
Hi Dr Axe, can vitamin D deficiency cause loss of appetite??
Thank you sir for the awesome tip. keep them coming to save people.
How do I get it without risking skin cancer?
I appreciate the info but what Dr. Axe didn't mention is that if you're Black you're going to need up to 2 hours of sunlight.
And I'm darker from being out in the sun so yeah I have to spend more time out there
science is racist
My Dr said my vitamin D level was extremely low. I am now taking 50,000 ui. I am feeling a lot better and hoping it will also help with weight loss as well.
How long did it take to feel a difference?
My vitamin D level is at 10. Have been experiencing low energy and frequent colds since I can remember. At least now I know
That's extremely low
Hi Dr. Axe! Can you please recommend a few brands of vitamin D3 and K2? I’ve done so much research and I’m lost somehow great ratings but then I go and read up on them and they don’t have great ingredients so I’m not sure what to do.
Thank you so much for making this video, my blood test came back as vitamin d deficient.

What Vit-D do you recommend? I desperately need some recommendations
I need to go outside more! I’m a stay at home mom and practically live inside 😩
easy way to get sunlight is to open the window and get some sunshine on your face and hands when it's very sunny during the day
When I was raising kids- we were always outside. They were healthy kids.
Dr. Axe.... You've done it Again !
No Sun In Michigan!
I just doubled up on my D3.
How do you know if the brand is high quality?
Hello, I am loving your videos! I have had alopecia universalis for 12 years - I have tried every single thing I could find to get it to grow again... failure. I noticed last year after a month in the Florida sun, plus eating fresh fish and citrus every day, my hair was growing back fast and thick. Once I returned home to my desk job, it all fell out again. I have been watching a ton of your videos, and I am thinking vitamin D and the vitamins and minerals it needs to work are the solutions.
Thank you so much for sharing these videos, I think the quality of my life is about to skyrocket! ...and I am moving to Florida.
sir is it true
Great video bro👏🏻👏🏻
Me: What are symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency?
Dr. Axe: Yes
Exactly. 🙄🤣
What is the best vitamin D do you recommend?
Most people are low or deficient in d3. I have been taking 10000iu of d3 400mgs of magnesium citrate 30mg of zinc . This combination also raised my testosterone significantly! While bringing my d3 levels into healthy levels
I have been tired, could not stand cold weather, and my usual,high energy disappeared. I have been my husband’s caregiver after high risk surgery. My doc said she thought there was another reason . My vit d was low enough I needed a 50, 000:unit Bit D. Thank u Dr.Axe ..you are the best❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you felt any improvement since going on the D?
@@moderaterevolution504 Actually I have but my doctor recommended a contrast mri since I had fusion in 2015 and my back hurt. It showed much increased degeneration, severe spinal stenosis, two budging disc, one tore, facet arthopathy, etc. etc, and a hypo enhancement on the kidney..( I do have a simple cyst diagnosed years ago.) I started a simple pt on utube. I will have a contrast ct in a few weeks. I do think I feel better and back to more energy. I have never been the sitting around type of person. Thank you for responding.
@@moderaterevolution504 Yes it took two weeks and I felt better. I had an mri and have lots of back issues but have to learn to live with those as surgery gave me no relief.
@@ritastutler1470 Thank you for the response, I hope your problems resolve.
20 to 30 minutes of sun light is only if you are caucasian. If you are Asian you will need 4 hours, and if you are dark skin, planning on staying outside all day. The Aborigines are outside all day and do not get skin cancer.
+charles910 Why should whites suffer the least from this deficiency? In a world of inequality it seems that once again whites are privilaged. How is that fair in 2015? We're all human, we're all exactly the same! #endwhiteprivilage #biologicalbigots
+tsdon1 Everybody knows that it's not racist when it's *against* whites! And by the way, anybody can be european as long as they are nice people!!! it's not some exclusive privilaged club for white skinned folk!!!!!! #obliteratewhiteidentity #europeforall #miscegenationforyournation
+Deacon Swayne oh for f...ks sake, is it their fault they dont need as much sunlight? really????

Yes!!! Their ancestors chose to leave Africa (probably because they were too racist to co-exist with the black people) and in Europe they became white. They made that choice, nobody forced them and now because of their own selfishness, they are benefitting from vitamin d privilage... and it's got to stop. #vitDinequality #whitesmustgo

Hi Dr. Axe! Thanks so much for this video. I just found out I am deficient. Is there a particular brand of supplement you recommend?
Do you have any information on the correlation between Vitamin D and Sarcoidosis? My mom has Sarcoidosis and it came on twice when starting a vitamin D regiment. Any ideas?
Dr Axe is my Dr.
Great presentation, and thank you for the post!
Wonderful work Dr. Axe
Most informative video on vitamin D deficiency I've ever seen. Thanks
Great advice. I have learned a lot. Thanks Dr Axe.
I have been taking prescription Vitamin D for two months now every week. I can't tell the difference
What about hair loss?
Love Dr. Axe, sorry I usually forget to comment or thumbs up. I taught electronics and I like your clear message filled with appropriate information.
i have lpr (silent reflux) is this due to vitamin d deficiency ?
Dr. Josh Axe,
First of all thank you for making such an informative video,
secondly please give some names of supplements that are good according to you,
thanks,,,,
by the way nice shirt, I like it :)
I am on Methotrexate so doctors won’t let me go out into the sun..now my Vitamin has dropped!
I am allergic to the sun, so I have to take Vitamin d3. I take 15,000 IU’s daily. All 3 of the doctors I see agree this won’t hurt me to take this daily dosage cause I’m deficient in D. I also take 100 mcg K2 for every 10,000 IU of D that I take. They should be taken together for maximum benefit.
@carmen kipp do you go out in the sun since your allergic to the sun I’m sensitive to the sun
Carmen kipp
What is k2
Latrece Lockett , I do go out, but cover up with a 50+ UVB wrap from coolbar.
great video good to see a DR like you.
Great thing about getting vitamin D by the sun, is that it's free. I need to get some sun my vitamin D level is so low my doctor actually told me I could die. He said, it's bad for the heart cause you loss calcium. I'm doing what I can to greet healthier.
I was diagnosed with vitimin D deficiency. And my immune system is very strong, i hardly ever get sick. The only symptom i have from that is muscle growth issues
Here's something interesting for you. I live in the Mediterranean and out in the sun all the time, and yet, my Vitamin D levels are 17 ... transpires that Vitamin D is not absorbed if the magnesium levels are low.
Thanks for the great information. I didnt know about taking it with a fat source!
Get sun light atleast 20/30 minutes a day. I live in The Netherlands bro, what sun?...
No sunlight...double up on vit D3 and vit k
What about sunscreen when going outside?
