These Vitamin D Mistakes Are Bad

I'd like to discuss the common mistakes

people make when they're taking vitamin

D vitamin D is the most important

vitamin because it's involved in over

10% of all of our genetics it's a fat

cable vitamin which means that it

absorbs better when you consume it with

fat whether it's MCT oil or olive oil or

something like that the absolute most

important thing to know about vitamin D

is that it won't work unless you have

enough magnesium thing about magnesium

it's the second most important nutrient

because it's involved with 300 different

enzymes magnesium regulates excess

amount of calcium that builds up in your

arteries you don't want to just take any

old magnesium because the one called

magnesium oxide you do not want to take

that it only absorbs like 3 to 4% and

you're going to get diarrhea usually if

you take more than that a better one

would be magnesium glycinate you take

that in the evening it'll help you sleep

you get like an 80% absorption if you

take magnesium citrate okay that's fine

too the other side I want to mention

about magnesium is that the more vitamin

D that you take the more magnesium is

going to be required some people that

take vitamin D they react they get a

symptom from it whether it's uh nausea

heart palpitations muscle cramp

sometimes it's a headache realize that's

probably just a magnesium deficiency

because the more vitamin D you take

without magnesium the more magnesium

your body's going to have to pull from

the reserves and if you're already

deficient you're going to be really def

efficient now thereby giving you more

symptoms which might happen more in the

early morning when you wake up because

that's when you have the lowest amount

of magnesium in the body other mistake

that people make with vitamin D is they

don't take it with vitamin K2 vitamin K2

is another Co Factor very very important

because think about it vitamin D helps

you absorb calcium in the blood right

well K2 takes that calcium in the blood

drives it into the bone and your teeth

it keeps the calcium out of the soft

tissues what type of K2 do we need the

mk7 version is really good if you have a

lot of calcium build up in your arteries

and it's also really good for cancer

believe it or not and the amount that I

would recommend would be a 100

micrograms for every 10,000 I use of

vitamin D3 next point is another

co-actor zinc and one of things it does

is it helps you convert cholesterol into

Vitamin D I would recommend if you're

taking 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 to take

like 20 milligrams of zinc zinc does a

lot in fact it's a co-actor for all sex

hormones next point I want to bring up

is the mistake of not taking enough

vitamin D3 if you take the typical

recommended amount which is between 600

to 800 iuse it's not going to do

anything you need daily vitamin D3 of at

least 6,000 to 8,000 to 10,000 I use

every single day and that data is not

really understood by some of these

researchers and so when they do studies

they might give the people in the study

uh vitamin D once a week or once a month

or even once a year you're not going to

see a lot of great results with that on

top of the fact that they don't like to

publish positive things about vitamin D

that are literally free you can get from

the Sun Dr Michael hollik one of the

Pioneers in vitamin D research

recommends 10,000 IUS every single day

and he talks about this you're not going

to get any toxic effects from that Dr

Bruce Hollis also personally takes

10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 every single

day a big part of the medical profession

scares people about taking too much

vitamin D3 they talk about the Toxic

effect all it takes is a little fear

like that to make someone hesitant but

if you look at the actual data and I've

done a serious dive into this uh topic

you would have to take hundreds of

thousands of vitamin D3 every single day

for months to develop a Toxic effect the

point is that when we're talking about

just 10,000 I use or even up to 50,000 I

use and you're taking also the co-actors

Magnesium K2 the zinc all three protect

against the toxicity because it helps

control calcium and just as a side note

on that if you're taking high doses of

vitamin D3 and you're drinking the water

and you're taking the co-actors one more

thing you could do you could actually

just avoid uh taking calcium supplements

and also foods that are high in calcium

like Dairy these are are all just

precautionary things um if someone needs

to take high doses of vitamin D3 now

when I'm talking about high doses I'm

really talking about maybe doses over 30

40 50,000 IUS up to 100,000 iuse per day

now make note of this I didn't say toxic

doses okay I said high amounts there's a

big difference and of course I'm just

giving you data to research I'm not

telling you to do it check with your

doctor before implementing any of the

things I am mentioning another mistake

that people make with vitamin D is

taking vitamin D2 vitamin D2 does not

even come close to working like vitamin

D3 you're going to need a lot more of D2

to achieve the effects of D3 the other

important thing to do is to actually get

a vitamin D test and when you get a test

make sure you take your last vitamin D

like 3 days before the test so that way

we can get a more of an accurate blood

level of vitamin D3 the vitamin D in the

blood is not the active form so in other

words you could have this so-called

normal vitamin D level and be extremely

deficient in the active form of vitamin

D deep into the cells other points about

vitamin D if you're on statins if you're

on steroids both of those things are

going to inhibit your ability to make

vitamin D and allow vitamin D to work in

your body just think about statins right

that's going to lower cholesterol where

does vitamin D come from it comes from

cholesterol if you're going to get your

vitamin D from the Sun realize that

you're going to get it if you expose

yourself between 10 a.m. and 2: p.m. in

the summer also you're not going to get

a lot of vitamin D in the early morning

or the late afternoon you really have to

expose a good portion of your body if

you do that and everything is right you

might get 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 in

maybe like 20 minutes to a half hour

make sure you don't let yourself get

burned get slightly pink go in the shade

and then the next day keep working on a

tan a tan is really just an increase

melanin that allows this pigment to then

protect you against the UV another thing

not to take with vitamin D3 is iron they

compete if you're going to take iron

take it at a different time the other

thing is sunblockers or sunscreen what

happens is that most of the sunblockers

will block a type of ultraviolet

radiation called UVB which is the type

that you need to make vitamin D but

those sunscreens don't block the UVA

which is the stuff that ages your skin

so here you are protecting your skin by

rubbing on this uh sunscreen when it's

not filtering out the en entire spectrum

of ultraviolet light it's only blocking

your ability to produce vitamin D3

unfortunately I hope you learned some of

the mistakes and some of the things that

you can do to correct those mistakes

with vitamin D3 and if you have not seen

my uh video I did when I interviewed Dr

Bruce Hollis you should check that out

it was fascinating and I'll put that up

right here
