TLDRThe video addresses the potential dangers of vitamin D intake, emphasizing that these risks differ from actual vitamin D toxicity, which is extremely rare and involves having too much calcium in the blood. It focuses on the importance of balancing vitamin D intake with other nutrients like magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, and vitamin A. Magnesium and zinc are crucial for vitamin D's effectiveness and preventing deficiencies, while vitamin K2 prevents calcium buildup in the blood. Vitamin A, especially in its active form retinol, is necessary for vitamin D to function optimally and also helps keep calcium out of arteries. The presenter advises against synthetic vitamin D2, suggests natural sources for these vitamins, and provides tips for checking the quality of supplements, such as testing for hidden starches. The video also touches on dietary sources high in magnesium and zinc, and recommends vitamin K2 and vitamin A from food sources rather than pills.

    The video discusses the differences between vitamin D dangers and vitamin D toxicity, emphasizing that toxicity is extremely rare. Vitamin D toxicity primarily involves symptoms of high calcium in the blood, and hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 would need to be consumed over months to reach toxic levels. The speaker references Professor Bruce Hollis, a vitamin D expert who has never encountered toxicity issues. Historical dosage guidelines have drastically reduced from 50,000-250,000 IU to 400-600 IU daily. Vitamin D works in synergy with magnesium, and deficiencies in magnesium or other nutrients like zinc, vitamin K2, and vitamin A can exacerbate problems rather than solve them. The speaker advises using natural vitamin D3 over synthetic and warns about fillers like maltodextrin in supplements. They provide tips on dietary sources and dosage advice for magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2, and prefer food sources for vitamin A, recommending cod liver oil as an ideal source. Lastly, a method to test vitamin D supplements for starch fillers is explained.

  • 00:00:00
    today we're going to talk about vitamin
  • 00:00:01
    D dangers which is very different than
  • 00:00:05
    vitamin D toxicity they're not the same
  • 00:00:08
    it's extremely rare to develop a vitamin
  • 00:00:11
    D toxicity which really involves Only
  • 00:00:14
    One symptom that's too much calcium in
  • 00:00:16
    the blood I talked to Professor Bruce
  • 00:00:19
    Hollis who is the Pioneer in vitamin D
  • 00:00:21
    research and asked him have you ever
  • 00:00:23
    seen a vitamin D toxicity problem and he
  • 00:00:27
    told me never and he was involved with
  • 00:00:29
    many vitamin D studies you would have to
  • 00:00:30
    consume hundreds of thousands of
  • 00:00:32
    international units of vitamin D3 for
  • 00:00:35
    months to develop any toxicity and a lot
  • 00:00:37
    of times people are afraid of even
  • 00:00:39
    10,000 international units it sounds
  • 00:00:41
    like a very large number but I want to
  • 00:00:43
    show you something right here see this
  • 00:00:45
    book right here this book is called the
  • 00:00:47
    pharmacological basis of Therapeutics
  • 00:00:50
    and I want to read something on page
  • 00:00:52
    1687 the maintenance dose usually ranges
  • 00:00:55
    between 50,000 and 250,000 units daily a
  • 00:01:00
    few years later if you look at the
  • 00:01:01
    textbooks it's down to between 400 and
  • 00:01:05
    600 IUS maybe it just worked too well
  • 00:01:08
    and they had to take it out I have no
  • 00:01:10
    idea in order for vitamin D to work it's
  • 00:01:12
    dependent on magnesium if you have a
  • 00:01:16
    magnesium deficiency and you take a lot
  • 00:01:18
    of vitamin D you are going to exaggerate
  • 00:01:22
    that deficiency because the more vitamin
  • 00:01:24
    D you take the more magnesium you need
  • 00:01:27
    both of them synergistically work
  • 00:01:29
    together even if we think about the main
  • 00:01:31
    problem with vitamin D toxicity which is
  • 00:01:33
    too much calcium in the blood take a
  • 00:01:35
    look at this research paper right here
  • 00:01:38
    magnesium prevents vascular
  • 00:01:41
    calcification magnesium is a natural
  • 00:01:44
    calcium channel blocker too much calcium
  • 00:01:47
    can cause clots and guess what magnesium
  • 00:01:51
    helps to control that process number two
  • 00:01:53
    zinc the vitamin D receptor is dependent
  • 00:01:56
    on zinc when you start taking vitamin D
  • 00:01:58
    and you're slightly zinc deficient that
  • 00:02:01
    deficiency can be exaggerated because
  • 00:02:03
    the requirement of zinc goes up when you
  • 00:02:05
    take more vitamin D3 what are the
  • 00:02:07
    symptoms of a zinc deficiency your taste
  • 00:02:09
    is not quite right or your smell you may
  • 00:02:12
    get acne or flaky skin or even lower
  • 00:02:16
    amounts of testosterone because zinc is
  • 00:02:18
    needed to build up testosterone vitamin
  • 00:02:20
    K2 this is another one you should take
  • 00:02:23
    what is vitamin K2 do helps to prevent
  • 00:02:25
    the buildup of calcium the other
  • 00:02:27
    function is to drive this calcium into
  • 00:02:31
    the bone and the teeth the last nutrient
  • 00:02:34
    co-actor for vitamin D3 is vitamin A and
  • 00:02:38
    I'm talking about the active form of
  • 00:02:40
    vitamin A called retinol The receptors
  • 00:02:42
    for vitamin A actually sometimes bind
  • 00:02:48
    with vitamin D receptors as a complex
  • 00:02:51
    they both work together if one of them
  • 00:02:53
    is lacking the other one won't work
  • 00:02:56
    optimally vitamin A also helps keep
  • 00:02:58
    calcium out of your arteries if you
  • 00:03:00
    become deficient in vitamin A you're
  • 00:03:02
    going to notice that it's hard to see in
  • 00:03:04
    the dark at night you potentially can
  • 00:03:06
    have dry eyes dry skin lowered immune
  • 00:03:09
    system maybe even some acne I'm going to
  • 00:03:11
    bring up three additional things on this
  • 00:03:13
    topic number one I always recommend to
  • 00:03:15
    take vitamin D3 not vitamin D2 it's not
  • 00:03:18
    as potent it's made synthetically I
  • 00:03:21
    would avoid it and I would definitely
  • 00:03:22
    avoid taking any synthetic vitamin D3
  • 00:03:25
    you want to get a natural source of
  • 00:03:27
    vitamin D3 and lastly many manufacturers
  • 00:03:30
    when they make their vitamin D have
  • 00:03:32
    hidden molto extran or they might put in
  • 00:03:36
    glucose syrup they put this starch as a
  • 00:03:39
    filler they use it because it's a very
  • 00:03:40
    cheap ingredient and most companies that
  • 00:03:43
    sell vitamin D3 use these fillers
  • 00:03:46
    there's a very simple way you can test
  • 00:03:48
    this you open up the capsule mix it in
  • 00:03:51
    some water Okay add a few drops of
  • 00:03:54
    iodine and if it turns dark purple
  • 00:03:58
    suspect a starch this is called the
  • 00:04:01
    starch test and you can detect hidden
  • 00:04:04
    maltodextrin and other starches in your
  • 00:04:07
    supplements if it doesn't have it in
  • 00:04:08
    there it'll just turn yellow or just
  • 00:04:10
    slightly clear let's go back to
  • 00:04:12
    magnesium what are the foods high in
  • 00:04:14
    magnesium anything leafy green because
  • 00:04:17
    green is chlorophyll and at the heart of
  • 00:04:19
    chlorophyll you have magnesium also you
  • 00:04:21
    can get magnesium in chocolate just get
  • 00:04:22
    the one that doesn't have the sugar if
  • 00:04:24
    you're going to do chocolate and also
  • 00:04:26
    magnesium is in certain nuts but I would
  • 00:04:28
    be careful about consuming too many nuts
  • 00:04:30
    pumpkin seeds have a lot of magnesium
  • 00:04:32
    and if you were going to take a
  • 00:04:33
    supplement I would take magnesium
  • 00:04:35
    glycinate magnesium glycinate is easily
  • 00:04:37
    absorbed and I would take 800 or more
  • 00:04:41
    I've known people who needed to up the
  • 00:04:44
    Magnesium like
  • 00:04:46
    2400 milligram to get rid of their
  • 00:04:48
    cramps zinc where do you get zinc from
  • 00:04:50
    red meat shellfish are two very good
  • 00:04:53
    sources and if you're going to take zinc
  • 00:04:55
    as a supplement make sure it's also in a
  • 00:04:56
    blend of other trace minerals just to
  • 00:04:59
    make sure that you don't create a copper
  • 00:05:01
    deficiency if you take it over a long
  • 00:05:02
    period of time vitamin K2 let's say for
  • 00:05:04
    example you're doing 10,000 IUS of
  • 00:05:08
    D3 then I would recommend you take a 100
  • 00:05:11
    micrograms of vitamin K2 for every
  • 00:05:14
    10,000 international units of vitamin D3
  • 00:05:17
    and the version of K2 I would take would
  • 00:05:19
    be mk7 you can get it from high quality
  • 00:05:21
    grass-fed butter kimchi sauerkraut
  • 00:05:24
    consuming grass-fed beef eggs and then
  • 00:05:27
    we get to vitamin A vitamin A is not
  • 00:05:29
    beta kerene beta carotene is in like
  • 00:05:32
    plants vegetables don't try to get your
  • 00:05:35
    vitamin A from vegetables it's not going
  • 00:05:37
    to work I highly recommend you try to
  • 00:05:39
    get your vitamin A not from a pill but
  • 00:05:41
    from food egg yolks liver but my
  • 00:05:45
    favorite source is cod liver oil why
  • 00:05:48
    because cod liver oil not only has the
  • 00:05:50
    omega-3 fatty acids but it also has a
  • 00:05:53
    nice balanced blend of vitamin A and
  • 00:05:56
    vitamin D together since I did mention
  • 00:05:59
    the word vitamin toxicity if you haven't
  • 00:06:02
    seen this video you should check it out
