Dr Rhonda, I started taking 2000IU of Vitamin D3 per day and 2 to 4 fish oil capsules plus a B vitamin complex as well as 150mg of CoQ10 to get off a deep alcohol, amphetamine and cannabis dependency. When I started using the vitamin D3 I noticed immediate effects. Everything you say about serotonin here seems to hold true to me. I didn't start the Vitamin D3 until I listened to you on the Joe Rogan Podcast and more videos on TH-cam. You have seriously helped me, my head space is clearer than it has been for probably 6 years. Thank you very much.
Her information on serotonin is spot on. When i suffer a depressive episode, my memory is very poor and my cognitive function declines to the point where i can barely read a book. Decision making is also difficult.
I read the book 'Spark' by Dr. John J. Ratey, and he discusses how exercise produces BDNF and regulates neurotransmitters like serotonin (Rhonda Patrick mentions this in another video too). After watching this, I wonder how much of that exercise was done in the sun and how that may have added to the benefit.
This researcher is a God send. May you live a really long life. She is giving a lot of extremely valuable information here in this video in one shot. This is my first time listening to her here and I consider her outstanding in her research.
I found you while listening to the Rich Roll podcast and then promptly watched every episode of you on the Joe Rogan experience, and your youtube channel vids. (literally didn't leave the house for two days) I have learned more about my health in the past week than I have my whole life. And, as I vegan I am making some changes to my diet and will be incorporating micro algae oils and possibly krill oil, as well as Vitamin D3. I had NO idea how important these were to essential functions in my body and am blown away by your knowledge, clarity, and relate-ability. Im convinced I will be feeling better soon and no longer have to suffer in silence with certain symptoms that can be so easily helped. I will be sharing this info and videos with everyone I know. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all that you do. You are a modern day HERO!!! Much love and lots of gratitude xo
+Avalon Martin Wow, Avalon! That means the world to me. Thank you so much! Nordic Naturals (no aff.) has some microalgae oil and vegan vitamin D3 on the market. I hold them in high esteem. Best wishes to you and good luck!
This is valuable beyond words. Why do I get the feeling that the reason this valuable information is so hard to find in mainstream media is because the healthcare industry would lose profits. Vitamins D especially.
So diet has a direct effect on gene expression and can potentially suppress harmful genes as well as encourage helpful genes. Pretty incredible and definitely encouraging for a better diet. Excellent videos! Keep them coming!
Dr. Rhonda, I just discovered your channel, thank you for the wonderful, rich, detailed, and insightful content. I can tell you really believe in your research and want to make a difference in the world. I've been "researching" nutrition for years now and it's difficult to find free, publicly available, in-depth scientific, lengthy, no nonsense discussions like those on your channel. Keep it up, this is great content! While the majority of the population has less than a 90 second attention span, those of us with longer attention spans are still listening! Thank you again.
I am very grateful for all your videos. I am 19 years and have been eating a very unbalanced diet. I am very sure that you have extended my lifespan, my families lifespan whom I will share this knowledge, and my future families lifespan, and my friends, and everyone I know now and will ever know and love. Thank you very much.
I found you through dr Mercola intervju. So sorry I don't have the time to watch all your videos at once. So much passion and enthusiasm! Just love listening to you. I am a medical doctor, specialist of Internal medicine in Slovenia. Wish I could have a person like you in my country. Stay healthy! 😊
Great job Dr. Rhonda. Love the info on you tube and podcasts. Thank you for spending the energy to put out this great information. Found you on Rogans podcast
Not many people in the scientific arena I have much faith in. However, this lady is one of the few I do. Brilliant. Explains things nice and simple. Be nice to see her do some work with gut health. I believe that most issues arise from poor gut health. Rhonda if you read these, please do something to do with healthy gut foods like kefir and sauerkraut and/or other fermented products. I think these are grossly underestimated in general. I was looking at homemade kefir bacteria today actually under a microscope and the amount in a single drop is mind blowing. Truly amazing.
We all scream for Vitamin D whether we need or not we take it Lets go But then we do need some and the data on half the US being deficient is crap. That is not how biology operates. 80% of humans are obese With that much fat intake how does one explain vitamin D deficiency. It is fat soluble vitamin remember? Some loose screws in Rhonda's head have turned her into a Vitamin D crusader. Her rationale does not fit the bill.
Fantastic ! I learned a lot . . . thank you so much for sharing !! I'm approaching 70, yet most often get mistaken for being in my mid 50's. I train 10-12 hrs in the Gym weekly, and have been doing so for over 40 years. My healthful diet ( with no red meat) is supplemented with a battery of vitamins, minerals, and Melatonin. I sleep about 7 hours a day and keep stress at bay more than 90% of the time. I also supplement with Creatine to aid in my overall strength and recovery cycles . . . Thank you for your dedication !!!
Thank you so much for sharing the truth with us as it really is, and I enjoy you on Joe Logan's podcasts. You are helping many people including myself in changing my diet. You will be blessed. Thanks
A lot of what he talked about at this specific event is covered in the podcast tubo1812 linked (thanks, tubo!). I don't think the audio on this particular talk came out great, but if I find out otherwise I'll share the link on social media or possibly include it in a future email.
My BMI is 28, considered overweight! I'm 49/195 9% BF and very muscular. I'd have to get to 185 to be a healthy weight! I would have to lose muscle mass to achieve this! My A1C is 4.2 so I'm very insulin sensitive. Losing muscle will make you less sensitive. Muscle is anabolic and you r body burns calories much more efficiently.
LOL. What are the odds that there were a few Primatologists who decided to attend the lecture? "What a minute?! Monkeys have tails and their skeletal structure resembles that of cats and dogs. A gross misvlassification. BOOOOO!!!!" LOL
Great video. Thank you for the information. One question I have is about your daily smoothie. If I am drinking this daily should I also be taking supplements? If so which would you recommend? I am currently taking Vitamin D and Cod Liver Oil but I'm wondering about Magnesium too?
I've been wondering since I seem to remember that smokers have absorption problems with vitamin D and perhaps other fat solubles, if our pollution rates have a similar affect on the rest of us.
Dr. Rhonda , How much can cost me if I want to make a COMPLETE test to See how much deficiency I have of ALL the micronutrients . There are more than 40 Vitamins and Minerals maybe ?
Very interesting Doctor- I drink either Almond or Coconut milk myself with my oatmeal or steel cuts oats- I was just reading that such milk [1 cup] is 25-30 % of recommended Vid -D. I am currently 59 and at age 46 I had open heart surgery, a 4 X bypass with NO smoking or obesity, however I did eat about 6 raw eggs daily with protein in a blender daily. I realize that this question is off topic but do you feel too many whole eggs are harmful? I attribute my former problem to my egg consumption as well as red meat. Never had my cholesterol level checked in those days, lets remember that in 1975 I don't think cholesterol was discussed much, at least in my circles. Just so you know I immediately changed my diet after the operation and now my total cholesterol is between 130-140 and bad between 70-80 with 10 MG of Lipitor, my Cardiologist considers me her finest patient now.
I wonder how old she is because she looks so young to be so smart and have all these credentials and what her skin care regimen is because her skin is flawless
I have often wondered the same. I believe I remember her mentioning 20 years of clinical study in nutrition so I am guessing that she is in her late 30s. whatever age she is it looks very healthy and very wise.
Great video, thanks. Regarding cerebral spinal fluid migrating from the spine to the brain... many "experts" advocate sleeping with the head of the bed inclined for better brain health. It seems this would slow down that migration or stop it. What do you think?
First heard of it on the Joe rogan podcast. It changed my wife. Thanks for bringing the crucial informations to the public. Any good way to get our differents level tested online?
Does Rhonda ever cover the effects of intermittent fasting or regular fasting? I've heard that these methods have benefits towards recovery and overall fitness. If somebody gets their daily vitamin needs is it okay to practice intermittent fasting?
Can you make a video on kombucha, and how it is important to gut/immune health? As well as a daily dose for men and women in there mid-twenties. Thank you for the great information.
would be interested in your opintion on supplementing with pre-formed vitamin A (retinol). i, for example, am ultra-sensitive to any dosage (even the tiniest amount), and get mood, skin and AI problems immediately for days (i'm gluten sensitive). so, who should supplement, who should not, and under what circumstances can it be even counter-productive to health? thanks!
Hi Rhonda, overall this is a pretty good round-up of easily alterable factors to improve health and aging. My only quibble is that a high corn oil diet is very different from a high animal fat diet and using the simple term 'high fat' diet is perhaps misleading. It would also be good if you could correct the subtitles as there were a few mistakes in there.
I'm not able to eat raw vegetables due to crohn's disease. I've also never been able to tolerate any forms of magnesium supplement for the same reason.
Thank you so much for this high valuable knowledge! I just subscirbed and I love the content that you bring. If I may ask, what is your take on things like Wheat grass powder, Spirulina & Chlorella powder, Barley grass powder, nettle powder etc. All these greenie powders contain chlorophyll and perhaps some of the toxic "anti-nutrients" that you mention in this video, or perhaps even heavy metals? What do you think of adding these into the smoothie? Along with the spinach, blueberries, some herbs like dandelion/burdock powders etc.?
This is all very biology/Physiology based stuff. And thats a necessary part of the whole picture.......but its not the whole in and of itself, its just one part. You can have the best diet in the world and have a healthy lifestyle, yet still develop all sorts of ailments that you would assume only happen to unhealthy people. Thats why the Rosa study is special, because those people did everything wrong, yet they were healthy and happy people. The complete picture is that theres no point going into such incredible detail about genes and a myriad of abbreviated terms when its not necessary to. Sometimes we forget that we are more than out physiology and genetics. Some people absolutely swear by genetics, they obey. Dr Bernie Siegel talked about this in love medicine and miracles. So dont just focus on science alone. Its the meeting of science and spirituality that describes the entire person. If you have a great diet and exercise all the time, yet you work a job you dont like, surrounded by people you dont connect with and married to a person who doesnt really love you and you basically just exist to pay bills and theres no true joy in your world..............then it dont matter about genes or dna or your diet..........you will get sick. By all means eat a healthy diet and move your body because the human body was designed for movement, but feed your soul, above all feed your soul because if you feel fulfilled you take inner peace, love and joy everywhere you go and that is the greatest protection against again and all the things that ail human beings in this world.
True, some people eat lots of bread, sugar, drink more wine and beer than water, and live 90 years old, other eat vegan and die in their 60's. Other have white hair in their 40's and live old, other still have their original hair color in their 60's... when they die. There is no rule, some people clearly benefit from healthy diet, others don't. Limiting calories may be the only truth for everyone, but even that comes after the genotype for some people.
In a book I read called Think Smart: A Neuroscientist's Prescription for Improving Your Brain's Performance He recommended the Mediterranean diet for a healthy brain. Fish a few times a week, nuts, olive oil, lots of vegetables and red wine. Also said that anything that is good for you heart is also good for your brain.
I'm confused. Why did the original parent groups have changeable epigenetics & genetic expressions, while the offspring next generation seemingly had same epigenetics that could NOT be changed? Seems contradictory results; like epigenetics & gene expression can be changed, & can not be changed. ?!
What about oxalates that are found in leafy greens? They bind with the minerals so we don't absorb them. So you're still not getting magnesium when you eat them.
Hey Rhonda, what do you think of my morning smoothie: 3 inch fresh turmeric root 3 inch fresh ginger root 1 large fresh raw red beet 1 large rainbow/swiss chard leaf and stem 4 large green or purple kale leafs 5-10 pieces of raw uncooked fresh asparagus 1 avocado 1 banana with peal 1 full garlic clove with skin 1 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 cup cherries 1 cup mixed berries 1 cup mango/pineapple 1 scoop dried wheat grass 1 scoop raw vegetarian protein powder 1 cup natural cranberry juice 4 tsp raw hemp oil 1 cup kombutcha then fill with water Fills a 2.2 litre container and I drink it throughout the day.
Scott Maher Now I also add whole raw cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, and walnuts. At least 4 heaping tablespoons of each. I honestly believe nuts and seeds are the healthiest things for human consumption.
Scott Maher Well I started this roughly four years ago. I used to be 210 pounds, unhappy, had really bad anxiety, got horrible sleeps, stomach aches all the time, head aches often. Now, I'm 175 pounds, lean and I literally haven't been sick one day for over three years. I never get stomach aches and I always have quick and easy bowel movements. I sleep well throughout the night and almost always feel rested the next day no matter how little sleep I got. I don't get head aches anymore. My anxiety is nearly 100% gone, and it used to be so bad I could hardly do anything. I never get upset or sad or depressed anymore. Even when things get tough I always keep an optimistic point of view. I go snowboarding a lot and if I drink half this smoothie before going, I can ride all day without feeling tired or dehydrated or hungry, while all my riding buddies are dying half way through the day. I don't really find the smoothie all that filling though. I mean it is and it isn't. I like to have one or two a day and still eat a full meal at least. My change in diet literally changed my life and I'm never looking back. It's all about gut bacteria and keeping the right ones, while ridding the bad ones.
sorry if you've addressed this I don't have the attention span to listen to much more than 20 minutes about nutrition. is frozen veggies ok I've heard the nutritional value isn't as good as fresh
Also I eat 2 handfuls of spinach and sometimes kayle daily, along with oranges/bananas as preferred fruit. Is almond milk necessary to fulfill the calcium needs or are the dark greens enough?
She makes it sound like all high fat diets are equally bad. A bit disappointed in her. Also, surprised that such a brilliant lady makes daily smoothies. Most of the nutrients get destroyed in the proces of high speed blending. There are even a few studies done on mice who ate their species specific diet BLENDED and they still got metabolic diseases like diabetes and became obese, opposed to the group of mice who ate the same foods UNPROCESSED. That group was perfect fine. Guess no one's perfect!
Rhonda Patrick is great. She is one of the main reasons I've completely overhauled my diet.
That's awesome! Glad to hear it.
How's your diet and life been in the elapsing 4 years of your comment?
@@markhassan6203 what a name combo

Does your depression begin because of biochemistry or from your memories of the past?
this sounds like ME/CFS.
It's the post cycle depression after you get off the roids, dude. And you're definitely on the shit!
Joe Cseko lmfao. Jerk lolol but ur probably right
I wish I had discovered Rhonda years ago. She is fantastic, and my favorite new teacher. I am so grateful for all her videos. Thank you, Rhonda!
she packs so much useful info in a single talk, she gives me much to research. spot on !

silversobe duh i thought i could eat candy all day
I think just trying to understand what she's talking about has rejuvenated my brain immensely:D
She does talk fast. And the information which she speaks is dense. It is a good training for attention span!
Rhonda Patrick again bringing valuable and scientific information, excellent lecture
Dr. Rhonda, I just discovered your channel, thank you for the wonderful, rich, detailed, and insightful content. I can tell you really believe in your research and want to make a difference in the world. I've been "researching" nutrition for years now and it's difficult to find free, publicly available, in-depth scientific, lengthy, no nonsense discussions like those on your channel. Keep it up, this is great content! While the majority of the population has less than a 90 second attention span, those of us with longer attention spans are still listening! Thank you again.
I am crying! this is so nice and so informative! pharmaceuticals, fad diets, and other products have been blinded us! thank you Doctor Rhonda!
thanks a lot Dr. RP i am just unintentionally found your videos and so much affect my daily life habit...regards from Indonesia 👍🙏🏻
Yes to everything she said... its also important to forgive people and let go of toxic emotions to have physical health!!!
Absolutely brilliant. I highly underestimated my poor diet.
I am very grateful for all your videos. I am 19 years and have been eating a very unbalanced diet. I am very sure that you have extended my lifespan, my families lifespan whom I will share this knowledge, and my future families lifespan, and my friends, and everyone I know now and will ever know and love. Thank you very much.
A good summary of the science justifying healthy living practices
I found you through dr Mercola intervju. So sorry I don't have the time to watch all your videos at once. So much passion and enthusiasm! Just love listening to you. I am a medical doctor, specialist of Internal medicine in Slovenia. Wish I could have a person like you in my country.
Stay healthy! 😊
Great work! Thanks for teaching the world, all the best for you...
Great job Dr. Rhonda. Love the info on you tube and podcasts. Thank you for spending the energy to put out this great information. Found you on Rogans podcast

Excellent Video Rhonda Patrick , Thanks for sharing your passion!
Great presentation as always. Thanks Rhonda.
Thanks Rhonda, another informative talk on how to obtain a better life
Ronda is very likable person ❤👌👍
Rhonda, please do a Ted talk with this and any new or revised findings. Keep up the great work.
That applause let's me know the crowd needs more vitamin D
We all scream for Vitamin D whether we need or not we take it Lets go But then we do need some and the data on half the US being deficient is crap. That is not how biology operates. 80% of humans are obese With that much fat intake how does one explain vitamin D deficiency. It is fat soluble vitamin remember? Some loose screws in Rhonda's head have turned her into a Vitamin D crusader. Her rationale does not fit the bill.
Fantastic !

TH-cam needs a 'love' button
It's amazing how smart you are, this video was so interesting. Thanks for recording it.
Very interesting that serotonin has such an influence on the brains wiring
Doctor! Appreciated for this video.. hope you make a million videos based on health development and healthy lifestyle.... thanks
Wow, Rhonda. You're the best
Great work Rhonda you opened my eyes to the importance of Vitamin D
Fantastic! Highly impressive, thank you for sharing!
Dr. Patrick is the best..!
Thank you so much for sharing the truth with us as it really is, and I enjoy you on Joe Logan's podcasts. You are helping many people including myself in changing my diet. You will be blessed. Thanks
You said Bruce did a talk on vitamins? Was that by chance also recorded and put on youtube? Would love to see that too. Great content as usual Rhonda.
A lot of what he talked about at this specific event is covered in the podcast tubo1812 linked (thanks, tubo!). I don't think the audio on this particular talk came out great, but if I find out otherwise I'll share the link on social media or possibly include it in a future email.
Very useful information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with general public.
This was a superb lecture. Thank you for doing it.
Fascinating subject! Must check out her books.
You can tell she's way more passionate about this but is trying to hold back. No. Go off sis.
My BMI is 28, considered overweight! I'm 49/195 9% BF and very muscular. I'd have to get to 185 to be a healthy weight! I would have to lose muscle mass to achieve this! My A1C is 4.2 so I'm very insulin sensitive. Losing muscle will make you less sensitive. Muscle is anabolic and you r body burns calories much more efficiently.
Thank you very much, profound.
rhonda is so fucking good, amazing presentation
Very informative! Thank you very much.
They clapped oddly at end because they were thinking , " wait,, she just called us monkeys"... Lol HAHA 😂
LOL. What are the odds that there were a few Primatologists who decided to attend the lecture?
"What a minute?!
Monkeys have tails and their skeletal structure resembles that of cats and dogs. A gross misvlassification. BOOOOO!!!!"
LOL
You're incredibly wonderful 😘
Ms. Rhonda must be the smartest person in the world. I love watching her even though I don't know what the f*&_K shes talking about.
You go Rhonda.
Good day Ronda. Love your talks and your mind set. I wanted to ask, Whats your opinion on Carbon 60 (C60) ?
Great video. Thank you for the information. One question I have is about your daily smoothie. If I am drinking this daily should I also be taking supplements? If so which would you recommend? I am currently taking Vitamin D and Cod Liver Oil but I'm wondering about Magnesium too?
I've been wondering since I seem to remember that smokers have absorption problems with vitamin D and perhaps other fat solubles, if our pollution rates have a similar affect on the rest of us.

I forgot to ask, is there any study on garlic? It seems to be pretty miraculous especially on empty stomach.
She is funny this is a good thing, she is a real nerd
Kevin Decoteau Love it! 🤓
Lets not mention the ostrich joke tho haha. All jokes aside, she's a gem!
I can't even get Kale >1/2 the time when I go shopping for it! It's always sold out!
Here we get it only 5-6 months a year... and not in all shops.
Great work!
So micronutrients are important for good health, good to know.
Does Rhonda ever cover the effects of intermittent fasting or regular fasting? I've heard that these methods have benefits towards recovery and overall fitness. If somebody gets their daily vitamin needs is it okay to practice intermittent fasting?
Always fantastic.
I love you, Dr. Rhonda...
GREAT PRESENTATION.
Can you make a video on kombucha, and how it is important to gut/immune health? As well as a daily dose for men and women in there mid-twenties. Thank you for the great information.

Should I take vitamin D during fasting?
Curious, how about if you don’t add Carbohydrates to fat? Dr. Atkins had that covered in one of his books.
Hi Rhonda, overall this is a pretty good round-up of easily alterable factors to improve health and aging. My only quibble is that a high corn oil diet is very different from a high animal fat diet and using the simple term 'high fat' diet is perhaps misleading.

We raise kids with over feeding.
Any foods is good that does not cause obesity.
Simply we eat a lot with high calorie foods.

There is no rule, some people clearly benefit from healthy diet, others don't. Limiting calories may be the only truth for everyone, but even that comes after the genotype for some people.
Is there a diet optimized for cognition? A pdf I could read? Thanks
In a book I read called
Think Smart: A Neuroscientist's Prescription for Improving Your Brain's Performance
He recommended the Mediterranean diet for a healthy brain.
Fish a few times a week, nuts, olive oil, lots of vegetables and red wine.
Also said that anything that is good for you heart is also good for your brain.
what is a validated vitamin D supplement brand?
Please can you comment if coconut oil is healthy or not.....
I'm confused. Why did the original parent groups have changeable epigenetics & genetic expressions, while the offspring next generation seemingly had same epigenetics that could NOT be changed? Seems contradictory results; like epigenetics & gene expression can be changed, & can not be changed. ?!
Are you surprised at my tears, sir?
Very Interesting!!! Wow.
What about oxalates that are found in leafy greens? They bind with the minerals so we don't absorb them. So you're still not getting magnesium when you eat them.
Oxalates only in Cooked foods not raw
Bravo!
Unfortunately I'm allergic to raw bananas. What can I trade to get the nutrients closest to a banana.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting!
Which almond milk do you use?
Hey Rhonda, what do you think of my morning smoothie:
3 inch fresh turmeric root
3 inch fresh ginger root
1 large fresh raw red beet
1 large rainbow/swiss chard leaf and stem
4 large green or purple kale leafs
5-10 pieces of raw uncooked fresh asparagus
1 avocado
1 banana with peal
1 full garlic clove with skin
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup cherries
1 cup mixed berries
1 cup mango/pineapple
1 scoop dried wheat grass
1 scoop raw vegetarian protein powder
1 cup natural cranberry juice
4 tsp raw hemp oil
1 cup kombutcha
then fill with water
Fills a 2.2 litre container and I drink it throughout the day.
Holy Shit Man .....
Scott Maher Now I also add whole raw cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, and walnuts. At least 4 heaping tablespoons of each. I honestly believe nuts and seeds are the healthiest things for human consumption.
+cockboy12 what have u noticed since you've started taking this ? Skin, stomach, poohs, sleep. Muscle tone, how long does it keep you full for ?
Scott Maher Well I started this roughly four years ago. I used to be 210 pounds, unhappy, had really bad anxiety, got horrible sleeps, stomach aches all the time, head aches often. Now, I'm 175 pounds, lean and I literally haven't been sick one day for over three years. I never get stomach aches and I always have quick and easy bowel movements. I sleep well throughout the night and almost always feel rested the next day no matter how little sleep I got. I don't get head aches anymore. My anxiety is nearly 100% gone, and it used to be so bad I could hardly do anything. I never get upset or sad or depressed anymore. Even when things get tough I always keep an optimistic point of view.
I go snowboarding a lot and if I drink half this smoothie before going, I can ride all day without feeling tired or dehydrated or hungry, while all my riding buddies are dying half way through the day.
I don't really find the smoothie all that filling though. I mean it is and it isn't. I like to have one or two a day and still eat a full meal at least.
My change in diet literally changed my life and I'm never looking back. It's all about gut bacteria and keeping the right ones, while ridding the bad ones.
Rhonda have you heard of oxalates by now? I’m sure you’ve adjusted that morning smoothie to be optimal.
sorry if you've addressed this I don't have the attention span to listen to much more than 20 minutes about nutrition. is frozen veggies ok I've heard the nutritional value isn't as good as fresh
+Powerful When vegetables are in season buy them fresh!. Off-season get frozen vegetables :)
She’s so beautiful
Is Oxytocin the moral hormone instead Serotonin ?
Also I eat 2 handfuls of spinach and sometimes kayle daily, along with oranges/bananas as preferred fruit. Is almond milk necessary to fulfill the calcium needs or are the dark greens enough?
She makes it sound like all high fat diets are equally bad. A bit disappointed in her. Also, surprised that such a brilliant lady makes daily smoothies. Most of the nutrients get destroyed in the proces of high speed blending. There are even a few studies done on mice who ate their species specific diet BLENDED and they still got metabolic diseases like diabetes and became obese, opposed to the group of mice who ate the same foods UNPROCESSED. That group was perfect fine.
Guess no one's perfect!
Take 10 000 ius per day for ms to remain in the protective range. What do you think?
I went above 100 units when taking 10000 IU. Do test D levels frequently if you insist on taking such dose.
