Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in boosting your immune system, reducing inflammation, and supporting the health of various organs. But what happens when you take high doses daily? Could it improve conditions like depression, high blood pressure, or even ease low back pain? We’ll explore these therapeutic effects and potential side effects you need to know.

      What was the measured level of D in her blood? If it was high enough — perhaps due to time spent outdoors in the sun — then the doctor was right.
      How high is “high enough?” That’s controversial due to scarcity of well-designed clinical studies, but there’s a consensus that the optimal value is over 30 and probably less than 80.

For this short, you will see “▶️ Vitamin D is Dangerous”. In that expanded video he mentions “For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2.
