@T D Mendoza I'm so glad you are finding the information you need, and I trust you will find what you need to reverse this disease! :- ) When nutrition is so important, it's incomprehensible to me that so little importance is given to it by our medical system. I also agree that the government needs to back out of our doctor's offices when a few rare - very brave doctors wish to treat unrelenting pain, and give their patients' lives back.

The gift you have that is worthy of mention is teaching...thank you from the borderline middle age/senior community. Fabulous!!!! i am enjoying watching you again. God speed!
No one gets out alive is a copout for responsibility to secure your own best health. I find it mind boggling the way people act like taking care of yourself so that you are physically and mentally able to live your best life is a punishment. People only have two things in this physical life; results or excuses.
Spot on. Your selenium comments apply to vitamin E as well - it too has been implicated in prostate cancer. I was shocked to hear from my doctor that *nobody* should take vitamin E. He asserts that anyone practicing a balanced diet will get all the vitamin E they need - any additional poses a prostrate cancer risk. After hearing this I researched it and he seems to be right.
Thanks@benphartine 1. Kava - but do take Magnesium 2. Calcium but get it from food along with vitamin D, K2 and magnesium 3. Vitamins E & A, and other antioxidants 4. Iron, unless prescribed by a physician 5. Selenium unless needed, could increase prostrate cancer risks. 6. Soy isoflavones.
Im glad you mentioned that research which showed a link between Vitamin E and Selenium and prostate cancer. Most multivitamins for men contain both so Ive stopped taking. Re Calcium, it seems to me there is no need for anyone to take calcium supplements. Older women are routinely told by their doctors to take it for their bones, but there was research that showed a definite link with such supplements and dementia in women who had had a stroke etc.

Hello, I am a "young" 66 yrs old and live in Australia. Can I ask your advice as a "newbie Keto member" on what I have been doing? Every day I usually start my day around 1pm with 1 Berrocca tablet in water with 2 Tbls of Apple Cider Vinegar. I don't have my meal until 6.30pm and I have been cooking cabbage, red & green capsicum, bacon, celery seasoned with Dukkah, Pink Himalayan salt, pepper, mixed herbs, Turmeric, and bacon seasoning. I also have this with 2 fried eggs. Is this passable on Keto? I fast between 7.30pm until 1pm the next day. Love your videos as they are so informative and easy to follow. Regards Deborah
I have had tremendous success with Black Seed Oil and Moringa. In 2016 l came down with high blood pressure. My doctor put me on Lisinopril. The side effects were so bad that l couldn't even drive my car. My doctor told me that l would get used to it. Through much tenacity about a month later l found Black Seed Oil and then Moringa. Within 3 weeks l was done with Lisinopril and have been fine ever since.
@@angeladasrath6059 Morimga comes in a powdered form. Make a smoothie using 1 heaping teaspoon a day. Kuli Kuli is a great brand. With black seed oil take at least 3 to 4 teaspoons a day 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I use Zatik and Bionatal black seed oil seems to be a great brand also. I would also look at Nattokinase. This is a great supplement for enhancing blood flow. Four to six capsules a day would be great. I buy from a company called Natto Activ. If you utilize these 3 supplements it will be a great help to you. As they say everyone is different. First and foremost listen to your doctor.
Hope this helps!? Are you kidding? This was amazing information. Much of it recent publications from 2019. Thank you Thomas for taking your time to share with so many of us your research results so that we can live our best life possible. You are a constant powerhouse of helpful information and thanks to you have inspired positive affects on thousands of lives.
1. Kava (banned in UK? due to liver issues) 2. Calcium (plenty in diet. Doesn’t help osteoporosis that’s D3+K2) 3. Antioxidants (high Vit E or A) (natural from diet only) 4. Iron (natural from diet only) 5. Selenium (prostate risk) 6. Soy (phytoestrogens breast cancer risk & doesn’t help menopause)
I stopped taking Calcium when working in a pharmacy and learned it actually builds up in artery as plaque and caused heart attacks in women because it does not absorb without D3 in it. Just take D3 and K1. Also, weight bearing exercise will build calcium naturally without the plaque buildup.
To be healthy, I think we will all agree the most important thing is to learn how listen to our bodies. Whenever I listen to my body, it almost always says... ice cream.
My dear dad drank beer and spirits all is life sadly he died at the young age of 62years he had to have a post mortem and we were told that his liver was in very good tact!!!
Thank you for adding this video and the keto diet meal plan. Everywhere you look on the internet they charge a huge price for the diet. I don’t get that. I’m so thankful I stumbled upon your channel. I’m learning a great deal from you. God bless!
I tried Probase Sports Nutrition Collagen Peptides (six months on it) and it has changed my nails, hair, and skin like no other collagen supplement I have tried before. My hair is much fuller, my nails don't break anymore as they used to and my skin is literally glowing. One side effect I used to get from many other brands was bloating, heartburn, and sometimes headaches but not with this product. Absolutely love this product and highly recommend it.
Except if you have thick blood. I don't use K2 or D3. Everybody's different. I had a heart attack & stroke in "02" & then changed my diet. I use Vit E 400mg with 3 brazil nuts a day as a blood thinner. Im 69 in this foto, 4 years ago-now 73. I jog 1 mi in am. I go with the Alkaline Diet, the Bloodtype O diet, & the diabetes diet. I have 7 planets in Fire, so can eat some sweets, but if i use salt on my food-i instantly swell & get pre-diabetic, (Diabetes killed my mom). Im a Taurus & take extra copper to prevent strokes as it elesticizes the blood vessels. The Selenium prevents heart attacks. My granddad died at 51. Lots of green at every meal. I also get low blood sugar, so eat small meals, 5x a day, never after 8pm, as suggested by my mentor, Hugh Lynn Cayce, back in 80-81. Lots of fluids 20 min b4 meals. Best books that changed my life: "The Cure for All Diseases" by Dr. Hilda Clark; "Alkalinize or Die" by Dr Theodore Baroody; & "Dead Doctors Don't Lie ( Appendix A & B) by Dr Joel Wallach. I do not trust much current medical research because the findings seem to concur to the Doctors funding sources wishes.

@Taiwo Omotosho Wow! You must be healthy & RICH! I live on $820. a month, so try to get nutrients out of the foods i eat. Except now, im living in my truck to save money that i used to spend on rent for a small cabover camper.
For those of you that do not know about K2 (m7 type), it is being touted as a supplement that will help move calcium from the vessels to the bones where it belongs.
No. Take MK-4 because Which is much better absorbed than MK-7. And all MK-7 is converted to MK-4 anyway. Do your own research and see that MK-4 removes calcium plaque from arteries and improves bone density.
I appreciate your research in putting this together. I'd add one more item they have in southern Italy, is plenty sunshine and no cold winters, same as in all blue zones.
You can get vitamin A and vitamin E from natural sources. For example, from cod liver oil or olive oil. I use both, and I'm over 60! Can that be harmful?
The thing is what is "eating right" when we're all so different? I think if it doesnt exist already, there should be a way to customize "ideal diet" for each person, based on genetic predispositions, digestive patterns, microbiome...etc., etc.
Eating right means consuming nutrient dense foods. Collards, Purple and green cabbages Brussel sprouts, watercress, pumpkin,squashes. Grass feed meats including your organ meats
This guy is not god. You get so much calcium for fish .. right, no wrong. The elderly need 1200 mg of calcium. You get it from food alone and you will be very fat if you need other essential vitamins too. You can take up to 800 mg K2 MK4 and Vit D up to 20000 IU and no studies find problems with this. NONE.
I can't spell this word but I will try.... I have dyshidrotic eczema and I take d3 and k2 and a few months after starting that, it started hybernating...just saying. I also take magnesium and b1 to pamper my adrenal glands.....also 2000 mg of vit c since I was 25 , now I'm 54 and no wrinkles AT ALL....
Thanks Thomas. I just turn 50, so this information is helpful. By the way, I started taking magnesium after my workout, at least for me, I did notice an improvement in muscle recovery after a heavy workout.
I love everything you say. Only thing, what about adding Vitamin K2 if you consume extra calcium? This is all very interesting to me as someone who studied Bio-Chem and is 80 yrs young.

1. Kava, take magnesium instead. 2. Calcium supplement. Get it from your diet. Get your Vitamin -D in. 3. Vitamin E or A (anti-oxidant supplements). 4. Iron supplements. 5. Selenium (men). 6. Soy isoflavones (women).
Love this content and scientific based analysis. AMA doctors get little education on nutrition & alternative supplements. Lately there's proof (and my past lab results prove) they lowered MDRs and went on med prescribing spree. I stopped taking calcium a few years ago and recently started keto, adding eggs & cheese. I have osteopenia (offered a "shot" - No thanks) so this year I'll see what happens...
The calcium theory really played out on my mom. She took too much calcium pills bcz that’s what every old person is doing in China. Years later, she had kidney stone. It was a very painful experience for her.
True but she needed D and magnesium and K with it so prevent stones and artery clogs read others on here that say that same thing K keeps calcium from going to kidneys and arteries MK7 -K is best
My calcium supp is 1 tablespoon of hard grated Italian cheese in my scrambled egg or over my salad each day. It's yummy and seasons my food beautifully.
Good point, magnesium is often deficient despite having a reasonable diet. It is also often a remedy for ectopic heartbeats and Afib, so it's important to find out if you need more of it.
It is better to take whole complex of E like from whole food wheat germ oil and cook with red palm oil that two will cover full spectrum of E, 4 complex.
I'm 68 and love my anti-oxidants, especially selenium. They keep away heartburn and PTSD, dry skin and brittle nails. All food preparation involves exposure of the food to oxygen.
Me too and for what ages. I get so confused about all the different videos that one might be recommended on this video and another on another video. From your previous videos, i am taking D3 and magnesium. I also have Biotin and Chromium Picolinate... I can't remember if you recommended those on videos or where I got that info from but I have yet to take either of those 2. I also take Cinnamon and Tumeric which I just know is good for me because I also have diabetes 2. I am a 56-year-old woman. Please make a video with one of your whiteboard list of what's what on the supplements..all of the supplements..not just one or two...just the ones you recomend for those of us on Keto for male vs female and ages. Thank you Thomas!
Phew - I don’t take iron, occasionally VitE, I haven’t heard of 2 of them, I don’t take calcium or soy. I’m 65 and I felt so reassured by this vid that I’ve subscribed. Thank you!
He is wrong about more than one thing. If you dr lab says you are low in iron, they you need to take it. And he said go easy on Iron Supplements not ignore them completely if you need them. But if you eat a lot of meat, you are probably fine. I don't eat much meet.
This is an update to my K2 post above. I began taking a good quality K2 and wound up breaking out all over with welts and hives, hundreds of them, lasting a miserable ten days until I saw my PCP upon which time I began taking pills for allergies and using anti itch cream. This provided some intermittant temp relief, but did not nothing to stop them from coming. I then began a 6 day regimen of prednisone, which I was adamantly against, but it helped within 6 hours! I have NEVER had allergies before the K2, and it was the only thing different I had introduced into my life, ingesting or otherwise. So, be careful with this and watch for changes. This can mount up in your system. It took me about a month to have a reaction. (I'm in my 70's)
Now that I'm 60 I've become almost a nutrition neard, just like Thomas. Although he also is into body shaping etc., and that's sort of too much of a hard work for me. Have also done a lot of studying lately and gradually improving the supplements in order to keep it cost effecient and good at the same time. Regarding the selenium aspect here my personal notes. This all comes from a study from 2013 and reaches back to 2008. Short conclusion: When taking Vitamin E in high dosis (in those studies it was not mentioned if natural or artificial source) alone, then Selenium actively reduces the chance of prostate cancer. In an conclusion of 2013 they argued, it obviously limits the damaging effects of an overdose of Vit. E. But without Vitamin E, and only Selenium in higher doses alone, there was a higher chance of prostate cancer, if the patients had overall normal levels of Selenium (tested on their footnails) anyway. For me that means, having some natural Vit. E complexes in conjunction with low dosage of Selenium looks ok, cause its a conglumerate of various ingredients, not a single super dose, which his always risky.... The problem is often, how to get rid of a certain ingredient in a multivitamin/mineral product. So the natural ones are for me more optimal, even if more costly.
Please redo this video! Vitamin D does NOT put calcium where it needs to go. It only absorbs calcium. K2 (in the form of MK7 ) transports calcium to where it needs to go. This is so important!
Timestamp 6:27 - Iron. I used to donate blood. For a week before my donation, I would eat daily a standard portion of spinach. At the time of donation, I would blood test at the top of the blood iron concentration range. So, dark leafy green veggies will boost blood iron concentrations. Is that a good thing? I just don't know. Spot testing vs longterm levels is an interesting concept, which I've not seen much discussion over. Cheers.
Calcium can be taken with vitamin k2. People who have gastric bypass need to take calcium. Three years ago I had gastric bypass my bone density test was poor. My heart doctor approved the calcium. Malabsorption comes with gastric bypass surgery so even though I'm a tall woman I loss bone mass due to malabsorption.
New subscriber. I see an osteoporosis specialist and am now on Prolia and take a calcium supplement at her direction, along with getting calcium in my diet. You have to weigh the risks vs. benefits at times. I've been osteoporotic since my 40s and am 66 now. Improved on Fosamax but you can only take it for a few years. Prolia is helping now.
This is good information! Thank you! One thing though. I'm a senior with chronic kidney stones. Mushroom coffee is not good for kidney stone patients due to the high level of oxalates. I'm surprised you didn't mention that.
I love what you say about Vitatmin E after 50. I’ve never heard this, and it makes so much sense, about mitochondria and slight stress. I’m also impressed you know about iron in blood vs in storage, too. You’re so smart!! And well-read and thoughtful, and have such valuable content!! Thank you so much for your knowledge and keeping us safe!!! ❤❤
Vit D does not put the calcium in the proper place. It only aides in absorbing of calcium from what you eat or from the calcium supplement. But there is no need for calcium if you are deficient on that. The culprit is deficiency in Vit D. So taking Vit D will rectify that. BUT! In order for calcium to go to the proper places, like being pushed into the bones you need to supplement with Vit K2. If you supplement with 100mcg K2 per 5-10,000IU of Vit d you are good to go. If you eat lots of leafy greens you don't need 100mcg K2 for the first 10,000 IU of Vit D. But Vit D from natural sources are metabolized differently and then you would not need K2.
@@andrewrivera4029 You will get more yes. But people don't spend that much time out in the sun to get sufficient levels. And the more tanned you get the less Vit D the body will make. That is why people have fair complexion in the Nordic hemispheres to produce more Vitamin D. But that will be negated by being more and more tanned. Hence even the blackest people in the middle of Africa can be more deficient than people in the Nordic hemisphere. You will be fine if you run butt-naked all day long in the sun to store up Vitamin D. But that will only last so long when you get really tanned, then you will start depleting your Vitamin D. You can maintain sufficient levels a while longer by eating the right food though. But that will come to an end too. I have had a research lab since 1984 on natural medicine. And we have yet to see someone testing for sufficient levels of Vitamin D even if they are out in the sun all day long.
Toni Brown When your skin is exposed to sunlight it makes Vit D from cholesterol. The UVB rays hit cholesterols in the skin cells, providing the energy for Vit D synthesis to occur.

Thank you for making this tutorial! I am over 50, female and mom to an active 10 year old!! Really appreciate your focus on my age group from time to time😊
This is where Vitamin K2 comes into play. Check this out in here
i used to wa tch you daily, but i am over 40..over 50....smile. i am back now that i am noticing you putting out videos for middle age, to young seniors (me). i am so happy and excited. You have a gift, well many, but as young as you are - you are wise beyond your years and you relate well to all people, all ages...your gift is teaching. i got off on a tangent. The gift you have that is worthy of mention is teaching...thank you from the borderline middle age/senior community. Fabulous!!!! i am enjoying watching you again. God speed!
I love your post. I'm also "over 40... over 50." ;)
No one gets out alive, remember enjoy life while u got it...
Can only enjoy with good health
Love the Jim Morrison reference
But do count yourself for eternal life
No one gets out alive is a copout for responsibility to secure your own best health. I find it mind boggling the way people act like taking care of yourself so that you are physically and mentally able to live your best life is a punishment. People only have two things in this physical life; results or excuses.
*Atheist, ain't you????*
Kava (magnesium instead)
Calcium
Vitamin E and A
Iron
Selenium
Soy isoflavons
I recommend watching the whole video though because it's so helpful.
Spot on. Your selenium comments apply to vitamin E as well - it too has been implicated in prostate cancer. I was shocked to hear from my doctor that *nobody* should take vitamin E. He asserts that anyone practicing a balanced diet will get all the vitamin E they need - any additional poses a prostrate cancer risk. After hearing this I researched it and he seems to be right.
Flax seed oil is in that group also. Flax seeds are fine but the oil offers too much and is bad for an older prostate.
What about tocotrienols?
If supplementing with Vitamin E, choose the Tocotrienols instead of Tocopherols.
Thank you for the info. I am eighty my golf friend told me to take Hawthorn Berries 525 MG. He is 86 and can run circles around me. God Bless
Thanks@benphartine
1. Kava - but do take Magnesium
2. Calcium but get it from food along with vitamin D, K2 and magnesium
3. Vitamins E & A, and other antioxidants
4. Iron, unless prescribed by a physician
5. Selenium unless needed, could increase prostrate cancer risks.
6. Soy isoflavones.
Im glad you mentioned that research which showed a link between Vitamin E and Selenium and prostate cancer. Most multivitamins for men contain both so Ive stopped taking.
Re Calcium, it seems to me there is no need for anyone to take calcium supplements. Older women are routinely told by their doctors to take it for their bones, but there was research that showed a definite link with such supplements and dementia in women who had had a stroke etc.
Straight to the point, logical, intelligent, very well informed.that's excellent. This is the site I loved, no personal stories or neighbor, friend etc. I love the Wai this gentleman approches everything. OVERALL EXCELLENT.

Your correct on magnesium and vitamin D but you left out a vital one called vitamin k2 -mk7 wich puts the calcium in to the bones and not into the soft tissue.

Hello,
I am a "young" 66 yrs old and live in Australia. Can I ask your advice as a "newbie Keto member" on what I have been doing?
Every day I usually start my day around 1pm with 1 Berrocca tablet in water with 2 Tbls of Apple Cider Vinegar.
I don't have my meal until 6.30pm and I have been cooking cabbage, red & green capsicum, bacon, celery seasoned with Dukkah, Pink Himalayan salt, pepper, mixed herbs, Turmeric, and bacon seasoning. I also have this with 2 fried eggs. Is this passable on Keto? I fast between 7.30pm until 1pm the next day.
Love your videos as they are so informative and easy to follow.

I have had tremendous success with Black Seed Oil and Moringa. In 2016 l came down with high blood pressure. My doctor put me on Lisinopril. The side effects were so bad that l couldn't even drive my car. My doctor told me that l would get used to it.
Through much tenacity about a month later l found Black Seed Oil and then Moringa. Within 3 weeks l was done with Lisinopril and have been fine ever since.
Hi how do you used black seed oil and Moringa I will like to get of my blóod pressure pills thanks
@@angeladasrath6059 Morimga comes in a powdered form. Make a smoothie using 1 heaping teaspoon a day. Kuli Kuli is a great brand. With black seed oil take at least 3 to 4 teaspoons a day 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I use Zatik and Bionatal black seed oil seems to be a great brand also.
I would also look at Nattokinase. This is a great supplement for enhancing blood flow. Four to six capsules a day would be great. I buy from a company called Natto Activ.
If you utilize these 3 supplements it will be a great help to you. As they say everyone is different. First and foremost listen to your doctor.

1 - Kava
2 - Calcium
3 - Vitamin A, E and all antioxydant vitamins
4 - Iron
5 - Selenium
6 - Soy isoflavones
When discussing Calcium and vitamin D (D3 specifically) you also need to discuss the role of vitamin K2 with D3 to carry the Calcium.
you are right
he has. many times.
Now this is true
D3 with magnesium
Exactly. Vitamin K2 alone directs calcium into bones, as from joints, artery linings and other soft tissues where it creates problems.
you can buy supplement that combines vitamin D,calcium and magnesium and chelated with amino acid for absorption.
Do you know of a good brand to look for with this combination?
It's the K2 that moves the Calcium into the bones/teeth, and the D3 that allows it to be absorbed.
Hope this helps!? Are you kidding? This was amazing information. Much of it recent publications from 2019. Thank you Thomas for taking your time to share with so many of us your research results so that we can live our best life possible. You are a constant powerhouse of helpful information and thanks to you have inspired positive affects on thousands of lives.
Kava(Herb) has been taken off the market in England, due to Liver problems.
Yes but Xanax and valium are legal
Yah. They care sooooo much about liver problems. SMH
It is consumed in great quantities in Fiji. 🤔
Yes people with liver issues should not play with kavakava.
Bah!
1. Kava (banned in UK? due to liver issues)
2. Calcium (plenty in diet. Doesn’t help osteoporosis that’s D3+K2)
3. Antioxidants (high Vit E or A) (natural from diet only)
4. Iron (natural from diet only)
5. Selenium (prostate risk)
6. Soy (phytoestrogens breast cancer risk & doesn’t help menopause)
I stopped taking Calcium when working in a pharmacy and learned it actually builds up in artery as plaque and caused heart attacks in women because it does not absorb without D3 in it. Just take D3 and K1. Also, weight bearing exercise will build calcium naturally without the plaque buildup.
Thanks for the list
To be healthy, I think we will all agree the most important thing is to learn how listen to our bodies. Whenever I listen to my body, it almost always says... ice cream.

I’m 53. I’ve had a complete hysterectomy and two spine surgeries. The surgeon told me to take calcium. Thoughts?
Vitamin K2 with MK7, Vitamin D3, and Magnasium. 73 and remain pain and meds-free.
Except if you have thick blood. I don't use K2 or D3. Everybody's different. I had a heart attack & stroke in "02" & then changed my diet. I use Vit E 400mg with 3 brazil nuts a day as a blood thinner. Im 69 in this foto, 4 years ago-now 73. I jog 1 mi in am. I go with the Alkaline Diet, the Bloodtype O diet, & the diabetes diet. I have 7 planets in Fire, so can eat some sweets, but if i use salt on my food-i instantly swell & get pre-diabetic, (Diabetes killed my mom). Im a Taurus & take extra copper to prevent strokes as it elesticizes the blood vessels. The Selenium prevents heart attacks. My granddad died at 51. Lots of green at every meal. I also get low blood sugar, so eat small meals, 5x a day, never after 8pm, as suggested by my mentor, Hugh Lynn Cayce, back in 80-81. Lots of fluids 20 min b4 meals.

For those of you that do not know about K2 (m7 type), it is being touted as a supplement that will help move calcium from the vessels to the bones where it belongs.
And magnesium does as well
Pair it with vitamin D3, magnesium, potassium,
Plus Boron and MCT oil
No. Take MK-4 because Which is much better absorbed than MK-7. And all MK-7 is converted to MK-4 anyway. Do your own research and see that MK-4 removes calcium plaque from arteries and improves bone density.

The thing is what is "eating right" when we're all so different?
I think if it doesnt exist already, there should be a way to customize "ideal diet" for each person, based on genetic predispositions, digestive patterns, microbiome...etc., etc.
Eating right means consuming nutrient dense foods. Collards, Purple and green cabbages Brussel sprouts, watercress, pumpkin,squashes. Grass feed meats including your organ meats

Love this content and scientific based analysis. AMA doctors get little education on nutrition & alternative supplements.

The calcium theory really played out on my mom. She took too much calcium pills bcz that’s what every old person is doing in China. Years later, she had kidney stone. It was a very painful experience for her.
True but she needed D and magnesium and K with it so prevent stones and artery clogs read others on here that say that same thing K keeps calcium from going to kidneys and arteries MK7 -K is best

He is wrong about Soy. It actually protects against estrogen-dependent breast cancer. You should be more worried about beer (hops).
He is wrong about more than one thing. If you dr lab says you are low in iron, they you need to take it. And he said go easy on Iron Supplements not ignore them completely if you need them. But if you eat a lot of meat, you are probably fine. I don't eat much meet.
This is an update to my K2 post above. I began taking a good quality K2 and wound up breaking out all over with welts and hives, hundreds of them, lasting a miserable ten days until I saw my PCP upon which time I began taking pills for allergies and using anti itch cream. This provided some intermittant temp relief, but did not nothing to stop them from coming. I then began a 6 day regimen of prednisone, which I was adamantly against, but it helped within 6 hours! I have NEVER had allergies before the K2, and it was the only thing different I had introduced into my life, ingesting or otherwise. So, be careful with this and watch for changes. This can mount up in your system. It took me about a month to have a reaction. (I'm in my 70's)
Now that I'm 60 I've become almost a nutrition neard, just like Thomas. Although he also is into body shaping etc., and that's sort of too much of a hard work for me. Have also done a lot of studying lately and gradually improving the supplements in order to keep it cost effecient and good at the same time. Regarding the selenium aspect here my personal notes. This all comes from a study from 2013 and reaches back to 2008. Short conclusion: When taking Vitamin E in high dosis (in those studies it was not mentioned if natural or artificial source) alone, then Selenium actively reduces the chance of prostate cancer. In an conclusion of 2013 they argued, it obviously limits the damaging effects of an overdose of Vit. E. But without Vitamin E, and only Selenium in higher doses alone, there was a higher chance of prostate cancer, if the patients had overall normal levels of Selenium (tested on their footnails) anyway. For me that means, having some natural Vit. E complexes in conjunction with low dosage of Selenium looks ok, cause its a conglumerate of various ingredients, not a single super dose, which his always risky.... The problem is often, how to get rid of a certain ingredient in a multivitamin/mineral product. So the natural ones are for me more optimal, even if more costly.
Tqvm...and how do you check your toe nails for excessive selenium?
Please redo this video! Vitamin D does NOT put calcium where it needs to go. It only absorbs calcium. K2 (in the form of MK7 ) transports calcium to where it needs to go. This is so important!
Timestamp 6:27 - Iron. I used to donate blood. For a week before my donation, I would eat daily a standard portion of spinach. At the time of donation, I would blood test at the top of the blood iron concentration range. So, dark leafy green veggies will boost blood iron concentrations. Is that a good thing? I just don't know. Spot testing vs longterm levels is an interesting concept, which I've not seen much discussion over. Cheers.

Calcium can be taken with vitamin k2. People who have gastric bypass need to take calcium. Three years ago I had gastric bypass my bone density test was poor. My heart doctor approved the calcium.

Vit D does not put the calcium in the proper place. It only aides in absorbing of calcium from what you eat or from the calcium supplement. But there is no need for calcium if you are deficient on that. The culprit is deficiency in Vit D. So taking Vit D will rectify that. BUT! In order for calcium to go to the proper places, like being pushed into the bones you need to supplement with Vit K2. If you supplement with 100mcg K2 per 5-10,000IU of Vit d you are good to go. If you eat lots of leafy greens you don't need 100mcg K2 for the first 10,000 IU of Vit D.
But Vit D from natural sources are metabolized differently and then you would not need K2.
Or you can get more sun for vitamin D...
@@andrewrivera4029 You will get more yes. But people don't spend that much time out in the sun to get sufficient levels. And the more tanned you get the less Vit D the body will make. That is why people have fair complexion in the Nordic hemispheres to produce more Vitamin D. But that will be negated by being more and more tanned. Hence even the blackest people in the middle of Africa can be more deficient than people in the Nordic hemisphere. You will be fine if you run butt-naked all day long in the sun to store up Vitamin D. But that will only last so long when you get really tanned, then you will start depleting your Vitamin D.
You can maintain sufficient levels a while longer by eating the right food though. But that will come to an end too.
I have had a research lab since 1984 on natural medicine. And we have yet to see someone testing for sufficient levels of Vitamin D even if they are out in the sun all day long.
Vitamin D comes from the sun the hours of 10-2 best sun goes to your cells and regenerates to vitamin D.
Toni Brown When your skin is exposed to sunlight it makes Vit D from cholesterol. The UVB rays hit cholesterols in the skin cells, providing the energy for Vit D synthesis to occur.
