hey guys dr. Berg here in this video

we’re going to talk about some uncommon

facts about vitamin D okay I’m just very

interested vitamin D so I create a video

on it because I just think it’s

interesting maybe you might as well

vitamin D is responsible for the

absorption of calcium primarily by 20

times in your small intestine so without

vitamin D you get a certain amount

absorption but not near as much as if

you have vitamin D that’s a lot of

absorption going on there but a lot of

times people don’t realize the vitamin D

also increases the absorption of iron

magnesium zinc and phosphate so these

other minerals so it’s pulling a lot of

minimal because of what it’s doing its

mineralizing your bone and supporting

the other tissues in the body with the

minerals that you need okay so it’s kind

of like a the dump truck that delivers

the minerals to the right place okay but

vitamin D has to be activated through an

enzyme in your liver and in your kidney

even the Sun that’s coming in you don’t

really get vitamin D unless it’s

converted into the liver the kidney so

you need a liver and kidney to convert

it and make it active so that means that

if there’s liver damage kidney damage

valley liver cirrhosis of the liver

you’re on kidney dialysis chances are

you’re not absorbing vitamin D okay it

might be building up as a toxic thing

but it’s not really doing its function

also vitamin D is very important in

controlling your immunity to viruses

especially the lung okay so if there’s a

respiratory virus but if you took some

vitamin D that would put that thing

right back in remission hopefully but

yeah so controls the immunity especially

in autoimmune diseases so if you have an

autoimmune disorder where your immune

system is attacking itself take vitamin

D very important also vitamin D can turn

off asthma symptoms really fast now the

reason for that is that vitamin D is not

really a vitamin it’s a precursor to

making hormones specifically steroids

specifically cortisol so basically it

helps you make or sell there by you know

helping

be the anti-inflammatory effect of your

lungs because think about what is the

remedy for asthma it’s steroids it’s

prendas oh it’s an inhaler so all you’re

doing is you’re just naturally getting

it from vitamin D now you’re building it

back up vitamin D is important in making

strong bones if your decision vitamin D

your bones will be weak fragile they’ll

fracture easily and they will little

bend you’ll get both legs you have see

people with both legs that’s about Emma

d deficiency or even the bending of the

spine some crookedness of the spine like

come to punch back s vitamin D vitamin B

also prevents musculoskeletal pain

chronic muscle and skeletal pain so if

you know people maybe your grandmother

your parents that have always had this

chronic pain and their joint to the

muscle your stiff and achy start taking

vitamin D okay get a lot of Sun as well

so make sure when you take vitamin D you

always take vitamin k2 at the same time

why because vitamin k2 helps deliver

that calcium all the way into the bone

because if you only take vitamin d3 and

calcium which is a big mistake because

what’ll happen you’ll start pulling all

this calcium bit up into the blood and

you’ll get hypercalcemia okay so now

what that means it’s like you’re getting

a lot of soft tissue calcium we need

that k2 to drive it in the bone so you

want a combination of things how do you

know if you have hypercalcemia increase

excessive urination increased thirst

insomnia nervous itching those are all

symptoms of too much calcium in the

wrong place and what’s interesting these

are very similar to blood sugar symptoms

as well like high insulin I wonder for

the connection right so anyway I hope
