one thing I want to talk about is the duration of how long to take vitamin D

as well as the dosage there’s a lot of confusion

most people are taking between 600 IU’s to a thousand I use sometimes 2,000 IU’s

and they think that that’s enough one thing you need to realize is that about

75% of the population on planet Earth are deficient in vitamin D and vitamin D

is so important in fact it’s the most important fat soluble vitamin especially

for the immune system based on some pretty credible studies which I’m going

to list down below and I only listed three I’m gonna give you quite a few of

them in the first study the group took a thousand 2,000 IU’s of vitamin D once -

twice per week for one month and did not increase their vitamin D levels at all

second study took a thousand of 2,000 IU’s

and it took four months to elevate their vitamin D and in the third study it took

three months to achieve just a normal level of vitamin D by taking 1,600 IUs

of vitamin D and I just had a call from a lady on my live show who was taking

50,000 I used a vitamin D for weeks and it did not even increase her levels so

the question is how could you be that deficient if you’re taking so much

vitamin D the first thing to know is that it takes a lot longer than you

think to fix a vitamin D deficiency it could

take months the second thing to know is that there are various things that

prevent the absorption of vitamin D one is your gut if your gut has damaged

you’re not going to be able to absorb out them and eat you well also your age

greatly influences your ability to absorb vitamin D not just from dietary

sources but from the Sun the color of your skin also influences your ability

to absorb vitamin D in other words if the skin is darker it could take three

times as much Sun to penetrate the skin and then there’s a topic of how much fat

you have the more subcutaneous fat you have in your body

the less you’re going to absorb vitamin D and then there’s exposure to the Sun

if you’re going out in the Sun and you’re only exposing your hands and

your face of the Sun you’re only exposing 5% of your body to the Sun

which it would take you hours and hours and hours to even achieve a small amount

of vitamin D and then you have the location where you live the latitude the

connection between where you live in the Sun if you live in the northern

hemisphere which if we look at United States is just above LA and we look at

the months between November and March the amount of vitamin D you’re going to

get is pretty much insignificant and then we have metabolic issues let’s say

for example you have diabetes you have arthritis you have high blood pressure

cardiovascular disease guess what the requirements for vitamin D go way way up

and then of course we have the season if it’s winter and you’re out there trying

to get Sun the odds of you getting enough vitamin D are very very slim and

then lastly there’s a genetic factor involved called polymorphism where there

is a variant or an alteration in your genes which don’t allow you to absorb

vitamin D very well and a lot of people have this and they don’t even know they

have it and that could be the reason why they

can’t absorb it oh and there’s one more that I forgot to mention if you have a

chronic infection see the viruses that invade the body downgrade your vitamin D

receptor so if you have an infection whether it’s in the lung and the sinuses

or in your gut the microbes specifically viruses have a strategy of blocking the

absorption of vitamin D they block the receptor so you can’t absorb it it’s a

survival mechanism and the white blood cells that are fighting the virus need

vitamin D desperately so they’re gonna suck up that last a little bit of

vitamin D that you have so as you can see there’s a lot of factors involved

with the absorption of vitamin D how much vitamin D would I recommend 10,000

IU’s per day as a maintenance and I mentioned this plus if there’s an

autoimmune issue involved and you’re gonna need much higher amounts of

vitamin D with magnesium b6 and zinc and there’s a couple other things that you

can do if you’re concerned that this amount of vitamin D is toxic

which is not you’d have to consume one to 200,000 IUs of vitamin D for months

and months or years to create the complications and the biggest

complication from vitamin D toxicity is hypercalcemia that’s too much calcium in

the blood because that could be to kidney stones one way to even minimize

the risk for that would be to drink 2.5 litres of water per day that way you

avoid a super concentration of calcium in the kidney so there won’t be any

calcium forming in the kidney another way is just to avoid calcium and

supplements as well as cheese that way there’s no calcium to go into the kidney

in form as a kidney stone alright guys thanks for watching

hey we’re back with another amazing

recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering on keto
