How can you know if your Vitamin D is doing what you think it's doing? Many patients don't realize that they are not absorbing their vitamin D. Here's a way to increase your levels that I used with my dad.

I live in Florida and am 65 years old. When Covid hit and I had “to stay home”, I started walking A LOT with my dog. My vitamin D levels went up to 100, and my doctor didn’t believe that I wasn’t taking supplements. She actually put an email into my record calling me a liar about my not taking supplements. Since we are military retirees we were using the military health system. I had to request a different doctor because my doctor didn’t believe that I could get so much sun that my D levels would be high but I didn’t burn. We eat keto/ketovore. By the way, Covid didn’t affect me either.

Apparently you should refrain from cleaning your skin for 2 days to allow the bacteria to proliferate. This aids in vitamin D generation/absorption via skin exposed to sunlight. Also skin colour affects the amount of time you need to expose yourself to sun. Darker skin requires longer exposure times.

Not always . You can have the VDR mutation like I do and never assimilate it so it goes into the bone where it needs to go . After 10 days of supplementing with vitamin D3 and K2 I developed kidney stones. Your advice is good for most people but unfortunately there are some people like myself that are just kind of screwed. This is why I tan in beds, which is why I was interested in hearing this video because it is true. The tanning beds are the only thing to raise my levels.

This doctor is more about selling the test kits than giving us simple & full information: Another key is taking D3 instead of the formerly much more common D2. About 14 years ago, I had huge prescription capsules of D2, 50K units twice a week. The doctor actually accused me of not taking them b/c my blood level of vitamin D did not improve. I researched it myself, which took only a few minutes on the internet. Absolute maximum human absorption of D2 is only 30%, with most people being around only 8%, as I recall. I had to hunt around to find some D3-in-oil gel caps, and in a couple months my vit-D blood level was fine. My doctor should have known this, especially before insulting me, but as a group, doctors are almost the last people to be truly knowledgeable about nutrition, at least in the USA. (It was only in 1999 that med students began to be required to take ONE nutrition course.) Within a couple years of my experience, D3 capsules were widely available, and it was even being used as the supplement in milk. I'm guessing this doctor gave her father the same near-useless D2 that I was prescribed. Her failure to mention the importance of D3 vs. D2 means I cannot look upon her as trustworthy.

I live in Australia, melanoma capital of the world. I am 60 years old and as a child we spent all summer swimming at the local pool. We baked in the sun, at the start of summer our skin would blister and peel, our nose and cheeks were covered in scabs then by the end of summer we were dark tan and our skin was perfect. In those days my mum cooked everything in fat, there was no seed oil in our home and we didn’t even know what it was. We never ate out and any deserts were homemade with butter or cream, no seed oil. Now we have a population of people in their early twenties getting melanoma and that generation was brought up on seed oil. Is there a correlation between seed oil and melanoma because we definitely need sunlight for vitamin D.

The higher levels of D increase healing and immune function substantially. I've read 5 books on D. It's one of the most important vitamins. It's the hibernation vitamin. Way too many of us are low on D and hibernating. You may need to supplement Magnesium along with D. The increased metabolism increases nutrient use. Glad to see you're taking it with K2!

Hi Charles, I live in Ireland and have always been a very keen cyclist. I had hormone therapy and radiation treatment for prostate cancer in 2017. During treatment I lost so much strength and until last year I still hadn't recovered. I became depressed, started losing hair in addition to remaining very weak. My oncologist dismissed my concerns and put them down to getting old. I'm 71. Finally I had a long chat with my doctor who ran a whole series of blood tests. My vitamin D level was 21. He put me on 50000iu a week of vitamin D3 for 2 months and then reduced it to 7000iu a week. Before the first 2 months were up I was feeling a lot better. My depression totally lifted, my hair thickened and I got stronger. I'm still not back to where I was but I was surprised by the change. He did a blood test 2 months ago and my vitamin D level had risen to 81. I now take 4000iu daily like yourself and feel much better than I have since before cancer treatment.

@@MOAB-UT It is now clear that vitamin D has important roles in addition to its classic effects on calcium and bone homeostasis. As the vitamin D receptor is expressed on immune cells (B cells, T cells and antigen presenting cells) and these immunologic cells are all are capable of synthesizing the active vitamin D metabolite, vitamin D has the capability of acting in an autocrine manner in a local immunologic milieu. Vitamin D can modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an increased susceptibility to infection. As immune cells in autoimmune diseases are responsive to the ameliorative effects of vitamin D, the beneficial effects of supplementing vitamin D deficient individuals with autoimmune disease may extend beyond the effects on bone and calcium homeostasis.

I have read a couple of articles from oncologists that stated the risk from deadly skin cancer is a lot lower than the risks from the "big" cancers (that's my paraphrase), and I have wondered if the rise in high SPF sunscreen might be contributing to the poor health we are in now. When I grew up 40 years ago, no one wore anything, and I don't even remember my grandparents getting skin cancer. I just think it is a complicated matter, and I have low vitamin D.

I started intermittent fasting about 3 years ago and taking supplements and have been taking vitamin D consistently for about the same amount of time. 10,000 IU's a day,. If I get a decent amount of sun one day, the next day, I only take 5,000. I've noticed the last couple of Summers I can hang out with my friends by the boat on a sandbar in Sun for hours with no sunblock, except a dab on my nose and not get burned. Same thing with my girlfriend and she's very fair skinned. She was in Florida recently visiting her sister and went for walks every day and got lots of sun and never burned. I found evidence online that that is the case. Lack of vitamin D is making people shun the sun even more, because they're more quickly sensitive to it. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

It is fascinating that supplementation wasn't working in your dad's case. However, if by 50k IU you meant a weekly bolus, that is chicken scratch for supplementation - about 7k IU/day. Our bodies can manufacture up to around 15k IU per HOUR with general exposure to full sunlight, and most international standards support up to 10k IU/day as normal supplementation for otherwise healthy individuals. I would suggest there is a missing piece here. One of the functions of PTH - parathyroid hormone or parathormone, is to regulate vitamin D levels in the blood. Therefore, it should be in an inverse relationship to 25-OH D blood levels. In my case (besides genetic markers showing I have a proclivity to poor vitamin D metabolism), my high PTH AND upper-range D showed I had enough 25-OH D for an average person, but it wasn't effective for me. By (with medical supervision) increasing D3 until my PTH was in the middle of the lower third of the reference range, I was able to put my autoimmune diseases into remission, while measuring the falling levels of the appropriate autoimmune antibodies as another marker of efficacy. This means I supplement 20k IU/day of D3 along with K2 MK7 at a cost of around $.20/day, and my blood serum level hovers around 170 ng/ml. I take a fish oil supplement at the same time as the D3 to increase absorption. However, I've been tracking my serum levels long enough to see the "normal" lab ranges bumped up a couple of times in the past 20 years or so. I expect that to trend to continue if we rely on newer data rather than ultraconservative "just enough to keep you from dying" approach which gave us the pitifully low 400 IU/day RDA.

I used to do tanning beds, my adult life, and I could never figure out why I was attracted to it. I craved it. I needed it . Later on when I became older, I figured out because my low vitamin D levels due to my, vitamin D receptor mutation. I also have 677 MTHFR gene mutation I don’t know if that has anything with vitamin D everything that I’ve researched I haven’t come up with that conclusion, but it does have issues with vitamin B cannot take synthetic Bs. Just like D2 is synthetic. folic acid a big no-no for us up to 40% of the population has MTHFR in some form I see people all here talking about everything I want to say about the vitamin D3, K2, etc. I hope your dad‘s doing better

What's crazy is thinking that we can help our body function better by randomly feeding it a little bit more of this and a little bit more of that in the form of supplements... as if we could just play and guess with an organism so perfect and complex that medical doctors and scientists have not even started to know yet. Your body needs to absorb what it needs in the amounts that IT needs through the right sources, not in the amounts that WE ignorantly ingest and force on it.

@@martamariotto1181 i’ve been thinking about this myself as I have several different supplements that I take, and I’m finding that if I take too many my kidneys start to act up. So I stopped taking everything and noticed that my body starts to regulate. Still, I’m concerned about what people are recommending for daily doses of vitamin D as I was also diagnosed with low D. I spoke to Chiropractor through an email blog who told me that vitamin D on its own is fine. You don’t need K2 or magnesium. He said he tests his patient’s blood and when they take the D supplement their levels go up. So now I’m even more confused. What do you do if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol? Berberine is supposed to work well in place of a statin which can cause all kinds of side effects. It’s hard to know what to take and what not to take especially reading through a lot of reviews on Amazon but it seems supplements do work. Then there’s the whole thing of well these reviews are bought and paid for. How are we supposed to know what to do other than reading Pub Med every time we come across some new supplement? Doing nothing isn’t always good either.

Just go outside without sunscreen for ten minutes every day. Don't sit or lay down, just move about, see to, that the sun isn't on the same side all the time, turn, and if you only swipe your south going door-step or balcony or clean a south going window. This does all the trick. My grandmum did that all her life. She's turned 99, though for the last decade she's mainly living on chocolate and a sip of artichoke-liquor. It can't be her nourishment in the last decade, that kept her alife. It's taking a small stroll in the sunlight every fine day.

My vitamin D level tested at 110. So my doctor told me to quit taking it. I will not stop taking it but I did stop from seven days a week and went down to three days a week.

This not medical advice but strictly my opinion from my own experience. A level of 110 should be fine. Me personally, I would keep it in the 100 - 150 range. You might want to watch The Dr. Gundry Podcast on Vitamin D. He says the same thing!!!

110 is perfect esp if you feel well. Remember to take the K2. This doc mayhap have invested in tanning beds- be careful esp as she not talk about the importance of K2 (yikes!) for proper absorption.

I live in the UK, and during the Covid, I started taking vitamin D3 8,000 IU with vitamin K2 200 UG, plus a multivitamin. And I am pleased to say I shook off a head cold within hours and didn't catch my husband's cold despite sleeping in the same bed. It defies all logic that people aren't routinely tested to see if their vitamin D levels are low. Perhaps there is no money in prescribing vitamins?
