I'd like to discuss the common mistakes
0:02
people make when they're taking vitamin
0:04
D vitamin D is the most important
0:06
vitamin because it's involved in over
0:08
10% of all of our genetics it's a fat
0:11
cable vitamin which means that it
0:13
absorbs better when you consume it with
0:15
fat whether it's MCT oil or olive oil or
0:19
something like that the absolute most
0:20
important thing to know about vitamin D
0:22
is that it won't work unless you have
0:23
enough magnesium thing about magnesium
0:26
it's the second most important nutrient
0:28
because it's involved with 300 different
0:31
enzymes magnesium regulates excess
0:34
amount of calcium that builds up in your
0:36
arteries you don't want to just take any
0:38
old magnesium because the one called
0:40
magnesium oxide you do not want to take
0:43
that it only absorbs like 3 to 4% and
0:45
you're going to get diarrhea usually if
0:47
you take more than that a better one
0:48
would be magnesium glycinate you take
0:51
that in the evening it'll help you sleep
0:53
you get like an 80% absorption if you
0:56
take magnesium citrate okay that's fine
0:58
too the other side I want to mention
1:00
about magnesium is that the more vitamin
1:03
D that you take the more magnesium is
1:07
going to be required some people that
1:08
take vitamin D they react they get a
1:11
symptom from it whether it's uh nausea
1:14
heart palpitations muscle cramp
1:16
sometimes it's a headache realize that's
1:18
probably just a magnesium deficiency
1:20
because the more vitamin D you take
1:22
without magnesium the more magnesium
1:25
your body's going to have to pull from
1:26
the reserves and if you're already
1:27
deficient you're going to be really def
1:29
efficient now thereby giving you more
1:31
symptoms which might happen more in the
1:34
early morning when you wake up because
1:35
that's when you have the lowest amount
1:37
of magnesium in the body other mistake
1:39
that people make with vitamin D is they
1:42
don't take it with vitamin K2 vitamin K2
1:45
is another Co Factor very very important
1:47
because think about it vitamin D helps
1:49
you absorb calcium in the blood right
1:52
well K2 takes that calcium in the blood
1:55
drives it into the bone and your teeth
1:58
it keeps the calcium out of the soft
2:00
tissues what type of K2 do we need the
2:03
mk7 version is really good if you have a
2:06
lot of calcium build up in your arteries
2:09
and it's also really good for cancer
2:11
believe it or not and the amount that I
2:14
would recommend would be a 100
2:16
micrograms for every 10,000 I use of
2:20
vitamin D3 next point is another
2:22
co-actor zinc and one of things it does
2:24
is it helps you convert cholesterol into
2:28
Vitamin D I would recommend if you're
2:30
taking 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 to take
2:32
like 20 milligrams of zinc zinc does a
2:34
lot in fact it's a co-actor for all sex
2:37
hormones next point I want to bring up
2:38
is the mistake of not taking enough
2:40
vitamin D3 if you take the typical
2:43
recommended amount which is between 600
2:46
to 800 iuse it's not going to do
2:48
anything you need daily vitamin D3 of at
2:52
least 6,000 to 8,000 to 10,000 I use
2:57
every single day and that data is not
3:00
really understood by some of these
3:01
researchers and so when they do studies
3:03
they might give the people in the study
3:06
uh vitamin D once a week or once a month
3:08
or even once a year you're not going to
3:12
see a lot of great results with that on
3:14
top of the fact that they don't like to
3:16
publish positive things about vitamin D
3:19
that are literally free you can get from
3:21
the Sun Dr Michael hollik one of the
3:23
Pioneers in vitamin D research
3:25
recommends 10,000 IUS every single day
3:27
and he talks about this you're not going
3:29
to get any toxic effects from that Dr
3:32
Bruce Hollis also personally takes
3:34
10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 every single
3:37
day a big part of the medical profession
3:39
scares people about taking too much
3:41
vitamin D3 they talk about the Toxic
3:43
effect all it takes is a little fear
3:45
like that to make someone hesitant but
3:47
if you look at the actual data and I've
3:49
done a serious dive into this uh topic
3:51
you would have to take hundreds of
3:53
thousands of vitamin D3 every single day
3:56
for months to develop a Toxic effect the
4:01
point is that when we're talking about
4:02
just 10,000 I use or even up to 50,000 I
4:05
use and you're taking also the co-actors
4:08
Magnesium K2 the zinc all three protect
4:12
against the toxicity because it helps
4:13
control calcium and just as a side note
4:15
on that if you're taking high doses of
4:17
vitamin D3 and you're drinking the water
4:19
and you're taking the co-actors one more
4:22
thing you could do you could actually
4:23
just avoid uh taking calcium supplements
4:26
and also foods that are high in calcium
4:28
like Dairy these are are all just
4:30
precautionary things um if someone needs
4:32
to take high doses of vitamin D3 now
4:35
when I'm talking about high doses I'm
4:37
really talking about maybe doses over 30
4:41
40 50,000 IUS up to 100,000 iuse per day
4:46
now make note of this I didn't say toxic
4:49
doses okay I said high amounts there's a
4:53
big difference and of course I'm just
4:55
giving you data to research I'm not
4:56
telling you to do it check with your
4:58
doctor before implementing any of the
5:00
things I am mentioning another mistake
5:02
that people make with vitamin D is
5:03
taking vitamin D2 vitamin D2 does not
5:07
even come close to working like vitamin
5:09
D3 you're going to need a lot more of D2
5:12
to achieve the effects of D3 the other
5:14
important thing to do is to actually get
5:16
a vitamin D test and when you get a test
5:19
make sure you take your last vitamin D
5:21
like 3 days before the test so that way
5:23
we can get a more of an accurate blood
5:25
level of vitamin D3 the vitamin D in the
5:27
blood is not the active form so in other
5:30
words you could have this so-called
5:32
normal vitamin D level and be extremely
5:35
deficient in the active form of vitamin
5:37
D deep into the cells other points about
5:39
vitamin D if you're on statins if you're
5:43
on steroids both of those things are
5:46
going to inhibit your ability to make
5:49
vitamin D and allow vitamin D to work in
5:52
your body just think about statins right
5:53
that's going to lower cholesterol where
5:55
does vitamin D come from it comes from
5:57
cholesterol if you're going to get your
5:58
vitamin D from the Sun realize that
6:00
you're going to get it if you expose
6:02
yourself between 10 a.m. and 2: p.m. in
6:06
the summer also you're not going to get
6:07
a lot of vitamin D in the early morning
6:10
or the late afternoon you really have to
6:12
expose a good portion of your body if
6:14
you do that and everything is right you
6:16
might get 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 in
6:19
maybe like 20 minutes to a half hour
6:21
make sure you don't let yourself get
6:22
burned get slightly pink go in the shade
6:25
and then the next day keep working on a
6:26
tan a tan is really just an increase
6:29
melanin that allows this pigment to then
6:33
protect you against the UV another thing
6:35
not to take with vitamin D3 is iron they
6:37
compete if you're going to take iron
6:39
take it at a different time the other
6:40
thing is sunblockers or sunscreen what
6:42
happens is that most of the sunblockers
6:44
will block a type of ultraviolet
6:46
radiation called UVB which is the type
6:49
that you need to make vitamin D but
6:52
those sunscreens don't block the UVA
6:55
which is the stuff that ages your skin
6:57
so here you are protecting your skin by
6:59
rubbing on this uh sunscreen when it's
7:03
not filtering out the en entire spectrum
7:06
of ultraviolet light it's only blocking
7:08
your ability to produce vitamin D3
7:10
unfortunately I hope you learned some of
7:12
the mistakes and some of the things that
7:13
you can do to correct those mistakes
7:14
with vitamin D3 and if you have not seen
7:17
my uh video I did when I interviewed Dr
7:19
Bruce Hollis you should check that out
7:21
it was fascinating and I'll put that up
