Hi sir 🙏🏼
Some of us have illness that we have to take vitamin D daily.
Thank you so much for really caring about people
Some websites have ng/ml with the same amounts you use. So ng/ml or ng/dl?
🤗 What a 🧠❤
My daughter had a D level of 5. her provider put her on D2 50,000 units once a week for years with no benefit. After doing some research I found out how important Vitamin K was to absorbing D. I purchased Vitamin D3 with K2 daily dosing and within 3 months her D levels were within range and has stayed that way.
I’ve been on script d3 50,000 not d2 and it has done wonders.
Thanks, For that information. I will try that.
D2 is prescribed by doctors who cheated to get through school.
*K2.
Sounds a lot like me. Mine was at 12. So I took the ones the doctor prescribed but nothing happened. Then after finding out more. I found out you need D3with K2. And that made such a difference. My doctor had no idea of the difference.
Change the title of this video! It makes it sound like Vit D is dangerous!!
In that way , youtube video will remain. Let it😊
Agreed.
Dont make conclusions based on a video title? Anyone who does that is lost regardless.
possibly done to trick ppl into watching
No problem with that title. It explained about vitamin d and the danger
Since 2019, I've taken 4000iu D3 per day. No jab. No convid. Not even a cold. I'm 64.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Do you take vitamin K
Yes, there are studies showing that being vitamin D deficient quadroupled your risk of being hospitalized or dying from Covid. Everything was all about getting the jab, but encouraging people to get more vitamin D intake, or even being outside in the sun more (not staying inside all day) would have saved a lot more lives.
@@josephmoore5949 yes. When people were locked inside ,COVID rates went up. In countries such as Africa COVID rates were lower.
Me too 😋
misleading heading - please change.
I think the reason they use these kinds of headings is to get people to watch the video. I worked with me.
I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, went on an immunosuppressive, and then found out how important Vitamin D was for the immune system. In particular, it is critical for decreasing inflammation which is a key component of MS. I went through increasing intake and measuring my blood level for months until I figured out I need 8000 iu per day to stay at 100 ng/ml, which is optimal for MS. (For most people, 10,000 iu per day gets you to 100 ng/ml, 5000 iu per day gets you to 50 ng/ml, etc. So you can see that 2000 iu/day only raises your level by 20 ng/ml, which may still leave you insufficient.)
Just before the Covid-19 outbreak, my doctor told me to stop the immunosuppressant because my B-cell level made me as low as an AIDS patient, and I was in danger of a viral brain infection. I did get Covid-19 but not bad enough to be hospitalized. Ever since then, my only MS medication has been Vitamin D! And I have had no more MS symptoms during the last 5 years.
You were lucky with youre vitamine D treatment.
In my country literally ALL (100% ) covid patients in the hospital had a vitamin D shortage....I think this has saved you from severe consequences from Covid.
(I also got covid...and my symptoms were less than a normal cold (rhino virus).
But yes, I do take a daily vitamin D 1000 IU (in oil capsules..as this video tells it must be taken with fats) and magnesium citraat as supplement ...I'm 67 years old.
I'm lucky with my education as child about healthy food and a wife---physician--- with also has as a target using minimal pharma (drugs) and preventing illnesses with healthy food. We also go as far as possible with not pasteurized milk products (Butter, cheese). Less processing meand more nutrients we need.
WOW! 👌
I had a friend that was diagnosed with MS. He had become suddenly incoherent and it had appeared as though he was incapable of following a conversation quickly and he had also lost a lot of basic speaking abilities. This isn't a diss, I loved him like a brother from another mother, but I was never strong enough to cope how he changed because I had pain too. With the FOMO effect at the time in early 2000s from what technology had given, how could someine with pain still so indescribable to this day as me, not leave? I still suffer the loss of a friend that day. Plus we'll never be able to share our divine intervention/ai encounter with the world. Anyways, my question was, lol, did you smoke pot prior to the diagnoses or anything out of the blue like that? I've been working on a hypothesis that is aimed at solving the reason for MS so any other info would be greatly appreciated.
That was a vitamin D deficiency not MS
I recall seeing that practically every covid death somewhere had been measured to be deficient in vitamin d and zinc, so I made sure to take plenty even on top of my multivitamin and pulled through the virus just fine with all symptoms gone within a week. (This week I caught it again and was down to a runny rose after a day) The same went for my uncle,he'd been watching this type of video since his doctor steered him towards keto for pre-diabetes.
My mother didn't listen when I told her this and wouldn't take it, went to the hospital with extremely low blood oxygen, spent at least a month in an intensive care unit across the state, narrowly got out of it alive and came home *with a prescription for, guess what, vitamin d and zinc.*
(She's a "burn your fingers to figure out they were right about touching the stove" kind of learner,now she watches videos like this but scoffs at keto as my uncle's health improves on it 🙄)
Stuck in ‘100 years ago’ thinking covers much of the advice put out by the majority of governments, health authorities and doctors. If you want to look after your health you have to educate yourself - the state wont help. 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for helping that educational process! 🙏🏻
Soooo true! I’m much healthier by pretty much ignoring my pcp Dr and researching doctors like Sten, and DeBerg, Chaffee, Brewer and others here on YT.
I take around 50mg vitamin D & 100mcg K2 daily. I'm stunned that even now many doctors still connect this to simple bone health and don't consider the wider benefits of these amazing nutrients.
Not only are they a lot of the times way behind the eight ball as they say. But a great deal of the time you are placed upon a treatment regiment as primarily dictated & designated by the biases of the health care system / providers, even many times in conflict / opposition with your doctor/s rationalities. You are absolutely correct in conveying that in many cases you have to take it upon yourself. To educate yourself as pertaining to your specific condition/s / needs, etc. I have been ever progressively learning / discerning this as pertaining to my ruemetoid arthritis condition. 😮
100 years ago is when Rockefeller destroyed the original western medicine that was more focussed on nutrients and herbs and replaced it with petrochemicals. Probably not a concidence that progress in establishment medicine suddenly came to a hard stop around then.
@@tebelshaw9486 Perhaps you need to watch the video and actually listen to it this time.
Students who were privileged to be lectured by this Dr were extremely fortunate!
Vitamin D & K2 together is the key now.
availability is no where near wide, local supermarket, drug section, they seems stock, vitmin D, but K2, out high priced specialist stores, and online, where who knows what really buying
D3
D3 + magnésio
Great presentation!! The title should have been vitamin D deficiency danger. When I first saw the title I thought taking vitamin D was dangerous 😀😀 glad I listened up to the end. You are such an amazing asset for me. I learn a lot from you and share to my loved one. May God bless you with good health and many many years to live. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽
He knows what he's doing, It's clickbait
he like most you tubers are shameless about doing it
I wasted minutes watching this waiting to learn of the DANGER. Not subscribing.
Definitely click bait, but glad I watched. Wish he would've elaborated on the effects of too much.
Plus K2 is very important.
Apparently TH-cam algorithm doesnt promote videos if they arent click baited.
I am African American and I take a daily dose of 40,000 IU of vitamin D3 along with 400 mcg of vitamin K2. It's crucial to note that among African Americans and individuals with darker skin tones, the rate of vitamin D deficiency skyrockets to 70%. The pigment in darker skin can hinder the absorption of sunlight, which is a crucial process for vitamin D synthesis.
I take the same K2 (400 mcg) daily with only 10,000 IU D3, uncertain if the amount of K2 you take is sufficient (in proportion to the D3). Recommend you look into the right ratio between the two (I am not saying I am right, your ratio just seems a little low in K2 based only on the ratios I have seen in combined supplements)
I am so angry that advice is not given out to all people with darker skin! Spread the word!
I once read that darker skinned people, though usually having lower vit D levels than the lighter skinned, would also have lower needs of it for healthy living. When we see that the best athletes in America in the more demanding sports are mostly African americans, that thesis may well be true.
@@radam2818 the best athletes will be being given amazing nutrients and vitamins and minerals i would say.
@@mattiasdahlstrom2024Isn't strange?😢😮
My sister's geriatric doctor is stuck in the dark ages on this. He told her to quit taking so much Vit D. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 35. I'll be sending her this video. Thank you much for your clarity on this.
Her doctor makes sense in a way. If you have too much vitamin D loose in bloodstream, then you can leach calcium from bones and into bloodstream and could calcify arteries along with that. The vitamin K2 is super important to make the vitamin d useful...
You never eat vegetables, do you? Fast food and vitamin D. Then take vitamin K which has the main role in coagulation then surprise: blood clot
@@digiteyeonly K causes coagulation, not K2
D2 does not work very well.
D3 3000 to 5000 plus k2/k7, works very good. Also research the brands because some brands are pure garbage.
CHANGE THE GP!
Dr. Ekberg, you raise the gold standard with your presentations. Many thanks.
I was practically forced fed vit D by my grandmother via cod liver oil as a kid. 41 now, haven't been to a doctor in over 20 years, apparently look much younger than my age and usually feel really good. I'm convinced Vit D is a major reason because my grandmother lived into her 90's and was strong as an Ox and rarely sick.
or its your genetics =)
@@sunlit777 In part maybe yes, but I'm certain the adequate D3 plays a major role.
before this "eat 10,000 IU" craze people also lived to over 100 (at least some of them) How are you so certain?@@garrygrant2394
Yes we had that too , I am also quite healthy and strong
You still need to see a doctor and have basic other blood work done.
After being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2017 and doing my own vigilant research. I had to ask my Oncologist to check my vitamin D after reading a study out of the University of San Diego that said direct correlation between D deficiency and colon cancer. When we checked it, it was 5. I found that their synthetic D3 never got me over 35. After finding a quality D3 on my own I can say I’m ALIVE!!!Last blood work checked in September 2023 I was sitting at 61. My goal is yes, to hit or be somewhat closer to 70. Great topic that yes more people need to know about and have checked. You need to tell your Dr you want to check it. 💗✨
i had breast cancer back in 2017. no one said a word about d3, but some months later, a friend, with the same cancer, was told to get on d3. so i did what you did, i had to ask my dr and she said “oh, yes, that can help” and i asked why she didnt tell me earlier. i think they want you to stay sick so they make money, i really believe that. oh, and so far so good, im 5 years out, no issues so far. oh, and i also take 11mg of zinc per day as they work together well. have not been sick in years, used to get colds, etc. like every 3 months.
Such good news… yes, so many rely solely on what the docs have to say and that is where we must expand our horizons and do our part; be vigilant about our health. Like stated here they are now just starting to understand the correlation and concerns that need to be addressed for certain folks. Stay well and be well. 💗✨
What Vit D was the quality one???
What’s the brand of vitamin d3 you found and used?
@@toonnaobi-okoye2949 not sure if you guys are asking me or gemini, but i take a chewable, just cause im not good at pills that much, and its Spring Valley fast disolve D3 5,000 iu (125 mcg). along with 11 mg zinc per day. 11 mg of zinc is the rda. i dont take too little or too much, its just right and safe.
Excellent presentation - the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (26 nmol/l after five years of what felt like burnout. Just walking 1,000 yards felt like a mountain & it seemed I was always getting bronchitis & sinus infections. It took about ten years to break into the sufficiency zone (76 nmol/l), but I started feeling much stronger after about five years. My doctor said take 1,000 iu, then 2,000 iu, then 3,000 iu, then told me I wasn’t taking the right type. Then it was 3,000 iu, then 4,000 iu, & then 5,000 iu & then we started seeing better improvement. I started taking 10,000 iu for a year & when last tested, I was at 198 nmol/l. My blood calcium was just under the low end of normal, so that’s not a concern - I’ve been taking K2 MK7. I’ve since dialed my vitamin D3 back to 7,500 iu. Today, at 58 years of age, I can walk as far as I want & I tolerate stress way better. Vitamin D deficiency stole about ten years of what was supposed to be the best years of my life. I can’t recommend testing enough.
You haven't said what type of vit D
Wow! I am 54, experiencing symptoms that I blamed on menopause. My test results say I am deficient in Vit. D. I hate pills but I was taking 5000 out liquid drops. I will increase that today. My NP recommended I take 2000 IU/day
K2 mk4 and mk7 different. Look it up.
@@inga.K.J.G. Make sure it’s vitamin D3. My wife takes 5,000 iu every day & 100 mcg vitamin K2 MK7 every other day. Dr. Berg, DC, has some good videos on both.
That’s my story 😢😢
I discovered the importance of it when I started seeing a pain management doctor for severe nerve damage in my spine and a few years later, after my Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I'm still slightly under the levels I am supposed to be at, but it is so much better now than what I started out with which was 7.
Thank you for the detailed explanation about vitamin D. I do have a small critique regarding how you titled your video. Upon reading the title, it seemed as if you were going to discuss the dangers of vitamin D. I couldn't believe someone would challenge everything I thought I knew about the beneficial effects of maintaining the right vitamin D levels in the blood. That's why I clicked on the video. Fortunately, you ended up reiterating information I was already familiar with from other sources! I'm aware that many people only read the titles, and in this case, they could have gotten the wrong idea about vitamin D.
That’s why it’s called click bait. Nice I know. But it gets viewers.
There is an Italian book that challenges all of this, very thoroughly researched and documented. Very complex topic. The author mostly notes complications to the digestive system from oral D3 so topical vitamin D might be the better approach.
I am also not a fan of Clickbait. It really sucks and it makes it hard to trust.
Cng@@kemosabe5120
Most doctors are clueless about vitamin D dosages, I have multiple direct examples of such incompetence: for instance, in 2020 an andrologist who didn't know anything about my vitamin D levels literally warned me not to take more than 2000 IU per day... If only he'd known that I can only keep my vit D levels higher than 60 when my daily intake is at least 15000 IU, and even at 25000 IU my body will take several months to get closer to 100, and only occasionally will surpass it.
PS. where I live I get no significant sun exposure, not even in summer.
I moved and the dr. scoffed at me when I requested vitamin D test along with my other tests.
Went to my previous doctor 160 miles away and found out my vitamin D levels are in the moderate range even though I was taking 5000 units a day and getting one to two hours of sunlight this last summer.
Northern Canada or Scandinavia?
Most doctors are clueless about vitamin D dosages✔
38 th parallel & lower is the best for the sun & D VITAMIN!👌 🎉😂❤.
It will be absorbed and used a lot better if also take a fair bit of Magnesium (D depletes Mg), K2 as mk4 or still wont manage calcium properly, retinol A (in ratio of 10x more A than D, naturally found in unmodified cod liver oil), and to use the A well you also need copper.
Its not a simple take 1 thing get better equation.. Its a complex dance of interrelated needs.
Good video. However, the title misled me into thinking Vitamin D was dangerous to consume. Until I watched the video entirely.
Thanks for your good work dr Ekberg. Please do not use tricky video titles to get people to watch your videos-you really do not need misleading or catchy titles to get your fans to watch your videos-we have confidence that most of your videos have vital health advice. Just because everybody foes that you don’t need to jump on their bandwagon.
Thanks! 🙏☀️🙏
I'm afraid that my doctor and his staff are: overweight, diabetic, and vitamin d deficient. If they cannot help themselves, what are the chances that they will do me any good?
The first question that they ask me is "what pharmacy do you use?". When I reply none, they look at me like I'm from mars!
Find another Doctor
I am so stealing your line about not using a pharmacy! 😂
I have the similar situation . I don’t take any medication and insist to do so.
I'm 66 and on NO medications. It's hard to keep doctor due to this reason. So I see my PCP only once a year for a quick visit.
LOL, yeah no kidding. Great examples of healthy workers at the doctors office, lol. "What pharmacy do you use", lol, is that like asking who you bank with or what brand of gas do you put in your car, lol. Just ridiculous these f'ing drug pushers.
Interestingly, in Ontario Canada, approximately 10 years ago, standard free bloodwork stopped including vitamin D on the panel. It became a patient expense, based on presuming most people had “enough”. And I believe that most people “trust” the medical system and forego paying for this vital information. It’s about $60.00. I’m wondering if it was a long range plan to prepare the population to become immune deficient therefore more reliant on pharmacy in the long run. Call me a theorist. But it’s just tooooo coincidental knowing what we do now and what’s happened in the last 4 years. I’ve never trusted the medical establishment. Have supplemented with D3 K2 for decades, mostly in the winter. 3,000-5,000. THANK YOU DR. EKBERG FOR THIS VERY USEFUL INFO. ❤
Finally! Someone with some sense! 🙏 People are so niave about how we are farmed and manipulated. It really frustrates me and sometimes it makes me think we deserve it 😒
Totally agree. If you didn’t think this was a possibility what is the excuse? The people in charge of health protocols are that ignorant to how important vitamin D is? No. I refuse to believe it. They know what they’re doing.
I believe you're spot on correct with your theory. I'm in Ontario too. The system is corrupt beyond the pale. Ironically, I do have a very caring family Doc, but they're in the minority!
@@1dayfreeTotally agree, ignorance is bliss becomes ignorance is tragic!
No wonder! You are so right!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for always explaining things thoroughly. There are a lot of videos out there where people just throwing numbers around without explaining where the information comes from.
Starting to understand your 'presentation style' Dr Ekberg (you funny!) You just love to teach! I kept trying to figure out "So what is the "No. 1 thing..."? Lol... You often start with a nonsensical 'catch phrase' then proceed to deconstruct the "non-sense", step by step... You remind me of my old school teachers whom I really loved and respected... good solid, structured knowledge, laid out and organized... all I had to do was "show up" and "take notes!" Thank you! The fact this is based on "current" knowledge is profound and insightful... I'm glad for real doctors and teachers like yourself... I remember picking up Dr Earl Mindell's book "Vitamin Bible" back in 1993-94? forever grateful for people who take the time to share their practical knowledge
This is the BEST and CLEAREST information about normalizing vitD level I ever read in books & medical articles. EvA MD
I have been taking vitamin D3 and K2 since the Covid pandemic started to boost my immune system. Last week, I met up with a friend who had a cold. A few days later, I thought I was coming down with a cold, sneezing and coughing more than usual. That night, I started shivering in bed ( with an electric blanket on). The shivering was my immune system fighting the cold virus. Because the next day, I was symptom-free!
In addition, I was going through menopause when I started taking Vitamin D and K2. I used to wake up sweating, even in the winter. The sweats have stopped because of the vitamin D, which helps to regulate your body temperature. So, to any woman considering going on HRT, try taking Vitamin D3 and K2.
Great info that Hrt is poison.
What's the dosage? Going through menopause but I still plan to do a test.
Brilliant advice
@@rosepalmer3525I took 8,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 100 mcg of K2. Make sure you are drinking enough water as well as that can help control your body temperature. Your GP won't recommend Vitamin D because there is no money in it and they would rather prescribe you HRT.
Thank you. How sad is our healthcare system when so many Drs are clueless on PURPOSE regarding vitamins and nutrition due to Big Pharma's input in their training?
Thank you! I’ve been indoors for several years, taking care of my dying husband…but started to take Vitamin D. The Ankylosing sponalitis in my foot went away. The EXTREME pain in my fused spine & right hip subsided. My pain meds have been lowered again & this time I survived. But after he died I was paralyzed with grief & became a total hermit, for 3yrs now and must change my ways & get up & out. I’m very weak! I stopped my brief sojourn w/K2 this month when my feet swelled & got purple. I have blood problems from the vaccine, and must take aspirin now. Amazingly my feet are improving with elevating them & wearing compression socks, in a matter of days w/no K2! Not out of the woods, but plan to sunbathe with NO SUNSCREEN at least 30 minutes a day now that the sun hits the back yard. I’m going to try not to kick the bucket before I turn 79 in June, and spend more time exercising & trying to walk again. I’d be dead by now without Vitamin D. Now let’s get my SKIN to stop shedding so much! And I’m growing back muscles by using weights & bands & marching in place 100steps at a time, holding onto my Walker, MANY times a day. This was an excellent video. Thanks so much.
Dr Elberg thank you for giving us such a large share of your time in the truthful spirit of ' caring for others'. Ive learned so much through your clear, sound explanations.
I’m a physician. I have fought keeping up my vitamin D level for a long time. In the beginning of the pandemic, sadly it was 18. I took 10,000 IU for a year, got out in the sun as much as I could. Rechecked it and it was only 19. Researching, I added K2. Six months later, during the winter months, it went up to 54. Then to 81! My adult daughter went from 31 to 90 in 3 months of 5000 IU daily. K2 was the key for us. K2 and also vitamin A help with the absorption of D3. (That is why you find vitamins with “A,D,K.)
Yeah how did he not mention vit A? It's what balances the D3...
I heard of a study done on vitamin D absorption years ago. They found the same issue you experienced. They had the study participants consume D with the largest meal of the day. The outcome was great - they assumed the meals had enough fat (fat soluble supplement) to increase absorption.
I have had 3 cardiac ablations for 4 types of arrhythmias. K2 can cause PAC’s - not the same as what I had but it makes me too nervous to take it. I eat a fair bit of red meat and green leafy vegetables. My last level, with supplementation, was 60 nanograms per deciliter.
I am always amused when a Physician admits any type of natural, non pharma needs. I am also surprised that with all of the massive, extensive education doctors posses that they often delayed in discovery of proper application for natural supplements. I notice that many hospitals now have specific doctors and departments assigned for supplement overuse. So Many People gobble up Vitamin D, with results of negative health issues due to not completing their study of the function and how it is properly distributed in our bodies, blood stream for it's purpose. Vitamin D, without the addition of Vitamin K is essentially worthless, and as stated often causes damage from over intake. Unfortunately, today's natural food sources of Vitamin K, chickens and their eggs are deficient in that vitamin due to being fed primarily off grains and not foraging of the natural greens. I am no physician and claim to know nothing, but do achieve great results for positive results of my health at the age of 75. I am never ill, have tons of energy, always active for at least 8-10 hours of assorted workings, not to forget being diagnosed with CML in 2004 and remaining in constant remission. The Real Shame is Western Medicine being Dependent on Big Pharma for treatments. In my lonely opinion; believe that all Physicians be mandated to study natural, vitamin, amino acids and diet for proper treatment of their patients ailments. Thank you for your honesty and hopeful help to others for the need of Vitamin K. Sometimes money won't repair a physical need.
Still these should be taken separately 😊 not in the same supplement. 🙏🏻
Seriously, physician? So what did they teach you at the univeristy? Looks like nothing, just bigbpharma bull s*it 😂
For anyone who lives in Ireland, take note that the medical practitioners never check Vitamin D, even if you are very ill and admitted to hospital. I asked a GP about this and she said that they don't bother testing for Vt.D in Ireland because, and I quote, "everyone is always low". And this GP refused to prescribe a higher dose supplement. This led to a heated exchange to say the least. My advice, if they don't take this seriously is to change your GP.
And people want government care in the US.
@@davidanderson8469 how dare they amirite
This is not true, must be a bad GP you got. Mine always checks vit D on each blood test.
@@badgreendragon Thanks for calling me a liar but I have no reason to be lying about this. I've been through a few GPs here and they are mostly awful. Out of date and clueless. My current GP however is awesome - one of the few that stays up to date, also spoke out during covid about the benefits of early treatment including Vit.D.
@@davidanderson8469 It can be done right. The UK is a good example for over 50 years. But things have changed in the last 10 years. The service is being deliberately run down. It seems to be part of the agenda 2030 crap.
You are one of my favorite doctors. Explanation is on point!!!!
Best vitamin D presentation I have ever seen and heard.
Thank you, Dr Ekberg. I know people often summarise your videos in the comments, which I do read, but I watch your videos right the way through as well. And people should, because you took the time to kindly make them to help people. I always enjoy watching your videos, they are incredibly helpful and informative. Thanks Dr E!
Jeez.. You know your stuff.
I just love how you make everything simple to understand… To explain something complex in way that anyone can follow is a sign of someone who truly Truly understands his subject.
Thanks for another great video.
Take care doc. 😊
The danger of supplementing Vitamin D is it could reduce pharmaceutical profits! My doctor found a severe deficiency. I tried running down the street naked for sun exposure but found that supplementation resulted in less jailtime. I had to take 56K D3 per week for 6 weeks while also taking 5,000 per day. To this day, I still take 5,000 IU of D3 to avoid streaking.

La vitamina d è fantastica basta balle!!
You're so funny! Love your humor! D3K2 is best.
lol!
I'm ever grateful for your true care to the health of us.
Another very important subject that affects most of us. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for bringing it up.
This was the most clear, concise, thorough excellent presentation. I wish ALL doctors were so well informed vs struggling to get them to do the bloodwork
Dr. Ekberg, I had an assessment from my doctor. My numbers for Vitamin D was 24.4ng/mg. I was told that I need to be greater than 50; the range from Quest is 39 to 150 to be okay. I am glad to see your session, as I plan to bump up my supplement and hope to hover to 100 or so..
Make certain your magnesium level is 6 to 6.8 mg/dL based on the RBC Mg blood test (serum is useless blood test as RBC Mg shows 90 day average Mg in your cells) as high D3 levels causes gene expressions that demand more Mg.
I check with Dr Sten Ekberg before I do anything. Picking a knit, here. Units for D measurement are ng/mL, not ng/dL. Small thing on otherwise perfect presentation. Really great work.
Jump to 19:00 for the “what to do” parts. Great explanation of all the functions of the body prior to this.
Thank Goodness for you!!!
Personally think everyone needs D3/K2 20000 a day

no thanks . I like to watch all the video

One thing that was forgotten is the fact that we use a ton of sun blocker, which stops the process of vitamin D production in the body.
No sunscreen for me....
I’ve always felt so iffy about sunscreen. I hate the way it feels on my face, I don’t even put a lot on. But I still apply it because, it’s “anti-aging” according to dermatologist. What’s your opinion?
The reason one has to reapply sunscreen after bathing is because (of course) it loses its efficacy after a time and washes off in seawater. I have also heard that the levels of chemicals from sunscreen are contributing to reef deterioration in Australia, where massive amounts of sunscreen are used. How factual this information is, l have been unable to determine with any amount of accuracy.
I am also concerned about the sheer amount of cheicals being applied to the skin, when using sunscreen. Since becoming a ketovor, l have never burned in the sun, despite not using a sunscreen. I do, however, aclimatise myself very gradually to increasing levels of sun exposure throughout the spring and summer.
Without the sun blocker, accelerated aging and skin cancers will be your next concern. I've had 3 Moh's surgeries on my face, already.
Remember, we have destroyed a lot of the ozone layer, which blocked some of the dangerous rays.
sunscreen is such a scam. if the sun really is so strong that you need to block it, you would rub on mud like our ancestors. how come nobody does that? it would be messy/ugly? i guess cancer isn't such a big deal then
I like it how simple you can talk about health. During whole video I was thinking that almost the same effects on body have omega3. It is essential, body cannot make it, the cells need it to divide, absorb vitamins and get rid of toxins. When these two are together(other vitamins too) they can do magic in our bodies
Very comprehensive data/info on everything vit D. Thank you very much for this .... even the math lesson was very helpful.👍🏻 Take care✌🏻
1. In the UK, getting cooperation from your GP, even when you have significant problems can be hard.
An important and constructive video. Thanks!
I had levels in the region of 220 Vitamin D and my GP had kittens. As someone with darker skin I think it was a great acheivement.
Same in the US
@@bigben8272 You're darn right! We need more litters like that 🙂
I have had a succession of poor GPs but I now have one who actually listens to what you are saying, and is big enough to say ' I don't know much about that but I will make it my business to find out' - pure gold. I studied videos and papers from Dr Michael Holick, I started self medicating on 10,000 units/day for 3 years and when I moved onto her list, she ordered vit D, calcium and bone tests done and, despite serious fat malabsorbtion problems from a dodgy pancreas, I was well in range for everything and my Vit D level came in at 137 nmol/L .... her comment was 'that is nearly as good as mine' ... and gave me a big smile. She went on to check my magnesium, K2 and zinc intake and will test again in 12 months.
What’s 2. ????
You and Darren Schmidt have become my 2 go to channels for naturopathic knowledge. Thank you for your efforts! ♥️
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. Been taking 2000 IUs per day for a long time during and after Covid. Jumping to 4000 IUs now. No problems with disease since starting Vitamin D. Great lecture and comprehensive presentation. I will get blood tested.
The world need this information
Fantastic presentation. Thank you. I just got my blood work results last week and for the first time Vitamin D was included in my blood work. My reading was 39 ng/ml so technically "in range" but less than ideal. I was looking for how much to take in a supplement and came across this video. LOVE your all-encompassing explanation of how Vitamin D does or does not work in the body. Seems pretty straight-forward for me now. Take 5000 IU daily and get my blood checked in three months and see what my number is. With a starting point of 39, 5000 IU's a day is not going to push me into any kind of danger zone (>100) in three months. Thank you very much.
D3 levels above 80ng/mL causes greater gene expression that causes the body to use more magnesium, zinc and vitamin C. If low on magnesium then negative symptoms can occur, hence the D3 "toxicity. Ideal magnesium level is 6-6.8mg/dL based on the RBC Mg blood test. My D3 level is at 125ng/mL and my Mg is at 6.5mg/dL this in order to accelerate soft tissue repair (ligaments and cartilage).
Once had a demented GP who refused to check my daughters vit D because he said ,”she doesn’t look deficient” . Took her elsewhere and she was very low.
And what were you feeding her before that?
Sounds like my Dr. 😒
dr are incouraged by government health plans to not order tests they think are unnessessry to save money ,
This was fantastic. I already knew a lot about it but this was so refreshing and I learned even more so thank you ❤
Nice video, thanks. What you dont mention is that when you have reached a high level,or even into toxic levels, the body uses a very long time to break it down. It could take several months before getting safe levels. Therefore its important,as you mentions, to cheque the levels when you are using D vitamins supplements
Definitely the best health channel on TH-cam
You are outstanding. I am so grateful to be one of your subscribers. I wish all MD’s were as good as you. Thank you so much for what you do.
I hope Dr Ekberg gets his numbers straight.
My blood test came back as NG/ml, not NG/ dl as he listed in the video.
Great vid. Please consider addressing the need for Vitamin K2 with the D3. Super important, otherwise as you know, calcium can potentially end up in wrong places, aka blood vessels, neural tissues, etc. K2 insures it goes into teeth, bones, and has many other bennies. Cheeses that have K2, are Gouda, Brie, parmasan, etc. The MK4 variety of K2can also cleanse tarter off teeth and put the calcium, in, not on the teeth. Vital.
Probably one of your best videos ever (and you have some great ones). MD's don't tie diabetes with other disease processes (gout, HBP, asthma, etc) but certainly there is a pretty hard link with diabetes and Vit D deficiency. Yet, never once has an MD requested my D level to be checked. I discovered it pretty much on my own. I'm the only family member to live far north and the only one with Type II, and when I spend even a few weeks in a sunny warm place in shorts and short sleeves, my BG is very much controlled - even with some bread and pasta (yes I know). So now winter setting in - the great dark north - I just upped my Vit D via liquid drops (capsules don't seem to allow good absorption) plus fish oil and cod liver oil. And my "pirate coffee" and 2MAD (noon and 6PM, animal protein, health fats, green veggies only). I'm giving it a couple months so too soon. BUT VERY Timely vid, thanks. You are great and inspiring!
Hands down the most informative health expert on youtube. Thanks Doc!

Thank you, Dr Ekberg! I've been following your advices in the last couple of years, vitamin D included. More recently it's is the case also for my daughter and for her, the increase in immunity - asma symptoms - and energy - no more lack of energy for a 18 yo girl - are impressive!

Good Sir, I am immensely grateful to have found this channel.
Great presentation. Thank you. I think you should also have mentioned that the body can store excess vitamin D in fat cells. This is one of the ways the Inuit get their vitamin D over the dark winter months.
I love how you broke down the different ways that vitamin D can impact our health. It's fascinating to see how one nutrient can have such a big impact on our bodies. I'm definitely going to share this video with my friends and family.
It’s actually a hormone.
Thanks for your miracle talk sharing ❤😮
First class work, thank you doctor.

My level was at 4 and I had been suffering with symptoms that mimicked ALS and MS. I can't tell you how much I was ridiculed by doctors including the neurologist who ran multiple tests and said vitamin D has nothing to do with it. they caused me so much stress and I developed health anxiety which put me in a vicious cycle of symptoms. I still have low vitamin D, but man, did i feel so great when i was on the 50,000 IU every week for 3 months. My numbers went up to 18, I believe. My doctors gave up on me, and I went to see a therapist. It's been 2 years of fighting for my own health and sanity. I am so thankful for videos like this that affirm my research and conclusions. I was offered a muscle relaxer for my newfound migraines, and they didn't tell me it was actually depression medication. I specifically told them I did not want to take depression medication. I wanted answers and the root cause. I ended up having a severe reaction from it. All of this is to say. I still have no idea where I land with my vitamin D, but im still fighting to fix this on my own. Thank you for your knowledge.
50k a week is too low
I take 10k iu a day
Keep going. Doctors seem clueless
take the 10K IU per day for a month brother. and don't skip!
if you want, test after a month. if its still below 30, keep taking the 10k IU.
once its above 30 ng/DL (which is positive) you can think about either lowering it by half or take a 5K and 2.5k (so 2 capsules) per day and gradually lower it until your ng/DL stays level.
edit: over the course of a week, that 50k loses its 'effect' on the body rapidly since your body probably doesn't utilize it very well.
if you go on a daily 10k, you tell your body to keep maintaining a higher dose of Vit D IU ng/DL and you'll feel better.
You have to take the vitamin D with vitamin K2 so it absorbs correctly otherwise calcium will get stuck in your veins
Hi Ella, I saw your post on health issues you have been experiencing. Aside from vitamin D deficiency consider what Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee recommend which is a carnivore diet of just fatty beef, butter, bacon and eggs. I’ve watched a lot of their videos and listened to their recommendations to people who have the same symptoms as you. Once the people eliminated ALL plant foods/spices/sugar/ALL sweeteners including so called “natural” and eliminated seed oils used in cooking ate only fatty beef which is the body’s optimal food their health issues disappeared and they felt good. Watch their videos and put into practice their recommendations for 90 days and experience what a difference it WILL make for you!
Last week when I did the lab work ordered during my annual physical, I had to sign forms indicating that Medicare may not pay for the Vitamin D test and the HBA1C. Talk about being 100 years behind the times! With the majority of Americans suffering from diabetes and chronic illnesses, those two tests are probably the most important for Medicare to cover.
Medicare should cover preventative medicines as well which are way cheaper than treatments
Lucky I live in Australia it's free
@@cherylhettrick3138Lol Sure it is, after you wait 6 months to go to the doctor.
@@cherylhettrick3138Oh, and it's not "free" Nothing is free. You're paying for it in taxes.
Last year, 2023, I went to Lab Corp for blood work. I had to sign a paper that stated I may have to pay for vitamin D test if Medicare doesn’t cover it. I did not have to pay.
Excellent video! So informative. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Excellent information, but the title makes it sound like Vit. D is a danger, rather than emphasizing how important it is. People might see the title and think there's no danger to them because they don't take Vit. D, and then they wouldn't watch the video. I would also emphasize that they should take D3 rather than D2.
It’s a click bait title. Literally every podcaster does it. Kinda annoying…
VERY annoying, in fact I was going to skip it, as I decided by the title this was NOT a doctor I would listen to...
@@paulawagstaff686 Yep, click bait and also true, the danger is the DEFICIENCY which is how he starts the video.
I too am not happy with TH-cam promoting click bait titles but we use the tools we have.
One of your best, Dr. S. AND, your average is way above the best, of most, in the global health arena.
Many thanks for your compassion in making these videos, so those that are willing to listen & comprehend can get the information, to make changes, with a view to improving not only their lifestyle, but their life, as well. 👍👍👌
I asked doc to test D3. She said no. Not needed. I went to Any Lab Now and paid out of pocket. Was good to know my level came up to 54 from 18. I wish I had been monitoring it before I got the big “C”. I take 4000 IU now and will monitor it every 3 months so that it does not go to an unsafe level.
I watched a video of a doctor who was a cardiologist.
He said of his patients who were diagnosed with covid, he kept very careful records.
When the worst was over and he was able to sort through all the data, the patients with low Vit D had the most complications and were more likely to die of covid.
The ones with normal or high levels of Vit D were the ones who healed the fastest and had the least complications.
What was the docs name? Thank you!
I was taking 10 IU's and still do today. Everyone around me got sick and still do. I don't.
When covid began, before there were vaccines, I looked at the NHS admissions printouts online. (I'm in the UK). Those low on vitamin D were flagged as 'over represented'. I upped my vitamin D3 and K2 intake. Later a house member got COVID and a week later so did I. I was quite sick for 3 days. Never took the jabs. Approaching 80, still AOK.
You are lacking iodine. The RDI for this mineral is a joke
I take 2 drops of 5% Lugols every day and have done for 30 years, never been sick since
Iodine was Trashed by Big Pharma 120 years ago because it was killing their sales
Look it up, Iodine is lethal to all pathogens and 100% safe to your biome, no pharma product can claim this
Well done for not taking the poison
Me too & I knew when everything happened so fast, various types of vaccines for different nationalities - I knew then that everything was happening too fast & disappeared over night.
Donald Trump had just returned from China & India bragging about his Secret Deals after he was defeated. Then he advised his base & followers not to take the shot, because they already were his pets.
And the medical profession didn’t know what to Do, until they realized that their wages were going up.
The key is eating natural foods because artificial foods & drugs are for population controlling
So glad that you did not take the V! Me either!
So a house member got the flu and not the propaganda name covid?
Started vitamin D after reading study on old people in ICU early on during the pandemic. The study included 100 old people, 50 received vitamin D and 50 didn’t only 1 person died in the vitamin D group and 23 died that didn’t get vitamin D. That was enough for me. I’m 62 years old and I take 5k of D during the winter months. I had covid twice and each time it was very mild. Every one I know had the vaccine, I didn’t and my family and friends all had severe problems without D . Vitamin D helps with your immune system.
Yes, the link between vitamin D and mortality was known from the very beginning, and yet all of our health authorities were telling doctors NOT to recommend vitamin D, as there was only one, holy and special sacramental treatment that was allowed to be recommended. Absolute murder.
"Doc, am I going to die from covid?"
"If vitamin D helps with symptoms, then yes, yes you are"
Plandemic, ,,,,Covid is abbreviation of certificate of vaccination id
How do you know you got the thing if the tests for it show false positives for everthing? Also what happened to the flu, common cold and other diseases?

Your teaching in your videos is always superb! I also like that your videos are usually no more than 30 minutes. I can’t endure the 2 hour long (or more) videos of others.
This is the absolute best detailed info about vitamin D that I’ve ever come across. I thought I knew about vitamin D but this video connects so many dots. Thank you so much!

Another superb video. If most of our PCPs were half as clear, informed, and informative as Dr Ekberg, we'd all be a lot better off. Deep gratitude for your efforts to improve health and education.
Many PCPs are liars and withhold useful information on purpose.
Just misleading clickbait and you didn't even noticed.
They are no and it is intentional. They ar forbidden for talking prevention. You can read about it in something called The Flexner Report- 1920.

Great YTV! Fresh yet comprehensive. Another fantastic YTV that I can share with many others. And I've already have! Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
I really needed to hear this right now! I know I'm low on Vitamin D. I have supplements, but I'm lazy about taking them. I'm going to be a lot more serious about it now. I live in the Middle East, but because it's so hot most of the year, I tend to stay indoors with the air conditioning on. Having unlimited access to sunlight does not guarantee that your body is making enough vitamins!
There are different types of Vit D3. In most countries you can only get the unactivated one, you have to take it daily for 21 days before there is any effect in your blood. So, about a month before you have the protection it can offer. Dr John Campbell did a very good vid on this called 'The second pandemic'.
Thank you, doc. I am curious about my Vitamin D levels. I will ask my doctor on my next check-up.
Many thanks Dr Sten following you from 🇬🇧

All living things need sunlight to grow healthy and strong.
Sure would be nice if there was a test ppl could use at home on a regular basis since it's so critical. Some of us don't have easy access to blood testing and don't have insurance.
I have insurance but it did not pay for vitD
if you're in the u.s., lab corp and quest offer a variety of wellness blood tests that don't require an order from a doctor. you do have to pay for it, but the costs is fairly reasonable.
Thanks for the tip orangemoon. I will look into that. Still...wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to check like we can for blood glucose.

TY for your information again!
I am now very curious about the results of the blood test next week!
Your holistic understanding of subjects like this is not only helpful for a metabolic sort of improvement, as important as that is. From the evolutionary understanding of cancer as a dedifferentiating of the bodily tissues, to an appreciation of autoimmune dysfunction as a literal problem of correct identification of "self" and "not self" -- the notion of applying these principles to our social and psychological defects is quite attractive. Thanks!
