Last March blood tests suggested my Vit D level was 44, not terrible but not "high" despite my diligently consuming 5000 ius daily (or more) since covid. In April, I got serious about my diet and supplements and "absorption issues" even though I had no idea what issues I might have. Went gluten-free (still 98% gluten-free, vacations have thrown me off some,) sugar-free (now just way reduced sugar,) artificial sweetener-free; started taking a probiotic, digestive enzymes; started taking cod liver oil with my Vit D. And, I don't avoid the sun, though we're told that as Oregonians (and I work inside,) we will never get enough Vit D just from sun exposure. Two weeks ago I saw an endocrinologist for the first time ever, for my raging osteoporosis. (I decided I have to do meds.) He took some blood, not fasting, said everything looked good except in his opinion I'm hypothyroid (what? I usually can tell...ack, not sure I want to up my thyroid meds, my PVCs are already out of control, maybe the two are not connected but they started when I started taking thyroid medication, so....) But also, my Vit D level was 107!! Guess I'm absorbing it now! To what might be attribute this? Is it the cod liver oil? Am I improving absorption generally? Is it seasonal? Anyway, I won't be taking as much if it now. 😅 Just looked up Vit D in cod liver oil...guess it has quite a bit on its own. I'm probably more evidence that doing this on your own, not knowing what you're shooting at, isn't wise. But when you find out you have severe osteoporosis and it's upending your life (due to pain) you...want to DO things, you feel like you've already waited too long...so, I've been lighting fires. Edit again: I think I'm being tested for hyperparathyroidism (24 hour urine, haven't submitted yet.) Blood tests for same suggested all is well but of course I've read that this can be deceiving. I really WANT there to be some (fixable) reason for my osteoporosis, and it does sound like Hashimotos and hyperparathyroidism together isn't that uncommon, also symptoms seem nearly identical. I know I just need to wait and see but now I'm wondering about that Vit D level and how it might affect the 24 hour urine test. The nurse or whoever talked to me yesterday didn't seem too concerned but after decades of being a bit laissez Faire myself, I feel like it might be time to start paying better attention. 😮

Cancer: I worry about taking anything with growth factor if I have had cancer. It is hard to balance what our body needs with aramotase inhibitors/ and estrogen positive cancer. I feel there should be instruction for those with cancer and for those without cancer because there may be differences. And our oncologists do not direct us into the detail behind vitamins because they are focused on cancer ( you would think they should be educated on nutrition as well since they are prescribing us to take D3 and Ca but they don’t give the patient more information than to take it. I was never told to take vit K……. But because of my own research I have found it is needed. Just having cancer is draining enough without having to fully understand the details behind all that we are supposed to do to regain our health. I appreciate all you provide here on your channel. I am learning and very grateful.

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, with the DEXA scan showing weakness in all three areas. I have all the risk factors - family history, age 66, female Caucasian, lack of natural vitamin D as I live in Scotland, also I am slim build. I did think my regular ballet classes (5-6 hours a week) plus a very rarely sedentary lifestyle might have helped prevent but it has not. My doctor has prescribed Alendronic Acid, along with a vit/ca supplement. I intend to balance my mineral and vitamin intake better now, along with your advice. However, I would value your views on the use of Alendronic acid? I am very hesitant to use this as I have read very mixed views. Great first video by the way! As a former teacher, I really appreciate your teaching style - organised, clear and easy to understand without being over simplified. Thanks for providing such a great resource.

I feel comfortable taking 200 mg of vitamin K2 along with vitamin D3 and calcium citrate 500 mg. I get 700 mg from food. I also take magnesium and other supplements. I have osteoporosis and have been doing research on side effects and adversed side effects. I decided to do it naturally using diet, exercises, and taking supplements. I exercise 2 hrs. each day, walking 1 hr. and using videos made for osteoporosis. I feel great and hopeful. Thanks

Excellent! May I propose to add one supplement to the equation? It is Boron, which is a great supplement for bones. It regulates calcium, magnesium and phosphor. Next to this, it supports hydroxylation and this increases free vitamin D3, regulates testosterone, estrogen, and helps your brain. It is anti-inflammatory, and anti-mold. May help sleeping better. *Very good to treat osteoporosis, when combined with vit D3, K2(!!), magnesium, silica (e.g. as orthosilicic acid.

In the morning and evening you'll only make Vit D in your skin if the sun is already very high (only UV-B is utilized). So "in the middle of summer". If you don't live near the equator it makes sense to measure Vit D3 at the end of the summer and end of winter and take higher a higher dosage during winter to stay on a good level throughout the year. - on skin cancer: worst thing you can do is avoid UV-B all year and then get abrupt high exposure during a sunny vacation. Best to expose yourself (both in terms of timing and duration) evenly throughout the year (starting kn early spring).

@Dr_DougLucas Жыл бұрын

Thank you for contributing. I agree with these comments. Avoiding sun and UV is more harmful than beneficial. I don't find seasonal fluctuations as much with testing as you'd think. Essentially, everyone is deficient unless supplementing. I can't remember a single optimized level naturally.

@Dr_DougLucas Жыл бұрын

Hi Marika, Sounds like you've got a lot to consider. I can't give specific recommendations through this platform BUT let me mention some generalities you may benefit from. First, bone spurs are a sign of osteoARTHRITIS not osteoPOROSIS. They can be pain producing but often are not. Improving your bone quality should have no negative impact on these bone spurs. For us anyone that presents with IBS gets a full gut workup to see why they have symptoms. While I believe IBS exists it is often a diagnosis delivered by providers who don't know where else to look. gut dysfunction can strongly contribute to poor bone health and poor health overall. Consider our free masterclass for more information on tools you can apply!

Hello, I like the combination and form of these supplements. The amount of Ca required in supplement form will depend on the amount supplied by diet.

The D3 requirement will also depend on testing. In summary, it's good but I'd want to know more before recommending this as a primary tool.

Greetings!! from the Uk. Great! advice. Thank you. What is your opinion on testing vitamin levels? Blood testing or strand of hair?

@Dr_DougLucas Жыл бұрын

@@lizrigby-jones3700 Hi Liz, Hair testing is a form of functional testing that looks at metabolites. This form of testing and other functional tests can give detailed information on nutrient levels over time. Blood testing gives current levels of specific nutrients which can be great for some like Vit D but not others. We use a combination of both but lean on blood testing for the primary nutrients. Our preferred functional testing modality is through urine. We use a test called Nutreval in the states. I don't believe it is available internationally. K2 I recommend to my patients as MK-7 and there is no clear evidence to support dosing. One product we use as 300mcg in a serving. D3 is highly dependent on genetics, diet and more. Some patients get by with as little as 2,000iu daily and others need over 10,000. That's why testing is critical!

I have looked into the clotting issue in depth. I can't find anything other than unsupported dogma and fear that started with patients taking coumadin who do need to limit vitamin K supplementation and through food. That doesn't seem to extrapolate to the general population though. Animal and human studies support massive doses of vitamin K without any increased risk of blood clot. Algae forms of calcium may absorb better but I think the evidence behind that is weak. It also has a high likelihood of being contaminated with toxins because of the poor condition of our oceans. I have recommended AlgaeCal in the past but some components of the product I would prefer different forms. I don't think the perfect supplement for bone loss is out there yet.
