Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you’d have to consume hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 for months!

Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity.

The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone.

When you increase your vitamin D intake, you’ll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth.

The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries.

Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup.

Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals.

For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs.

It’s best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources.

      He suggests a range of 800mg to 2400mg of magnesium and to take zinc, but not an amount. I take 30mg of zinc, but listen to your body and if you have any of the symptoms of zinc deficiency he explains, I’d take more until they go away.

      On the contrary. Big pharma are really happy your stuffing all these man made unnaturally ingested vitamins into your body. you pee most of it out, your body wants it from good food, the way it’s been used to getting it for aeons.

  10. @Gary-z5y on December 23, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    Learn to eat natto. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores usually in the frozen section. I suggest 1/4 teaspoon a day until you get used to the taste and slimy texture. You’ll eventually come to love it and your body will crave it.

      Heard of…i take nattokinase…i assume its the active compound in natto?

    I take 50k a day right now (winter). It’s not a dose i just came up with. It’s the minimum of what i found i need to keep my mood out of the tank during this time of year. I just needed the courage to go past the RDA bc it did nothing, just nothing. I do have the genes that make Vitamin D harder to uptake. I would have never thought to look for that if it hadnt been for these videos. So grateful, thank you! You also, helped me with my gastritis and sibo!

    • @robmcguckin7605 on December 23, 2024 at 3:59 pm

      50,000 iu equals 1.25 mg. It doesn’t sound like a lot when its in milligrams does it? For such an important vitamin/hormone, maybe thats why those in charge decided to measure D3 in international units?

    Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been “diluted”. Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or “forgotten”. You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.
