Today we’re going to talk about vitamin D toxicity and the signs you’re taking too much vitamin D.

It’s important to keep in mind that the dangers of vitamin D deficiency outweigh the dangers of getting too much vitamin D. It’s also very difficult to overdose on vitamin D.

Vitamin D works with other factors that support its function and absorption. Certain amounts of vitamin D can potentially have side effects but can be made safe by adjusting the cofactors.

Magnesium and vitamin K2 are the main cofactors that help keep higher levels of vitamin D from becoming toxic. It’s also important to drink plenty of water.

The side effects of vitamin D toxicity typically start to occur when a person is consuming hundreds of thousands of international units (IU) of vitamin D for many weeks.

The #1 sign of vitamin D overdose:
• Calcification

Other signs of vitamin D overdose:
• Kidney stones
• Nerve symptoms (numbness, pain, or tingling)
• Excessive thirst
• Excessive urination

In my opinion, it seems that many cases of vitamin D toxicity occur because of a person consuming too much vitamin D2—not vitamin D3.

There are some big differences between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. I also don’t think people will see the same benefits after taking vitamin D2 that they would if they took vitamin D3.

A few things you need to know about vitamin D2:
• It’s not as effective as D3
• It’s not as bioavailable as D3
• It’s not as studied as D3
• It doesn’t help prevent fractures like D3 can
• It does help reverse rickets (in infants)
• It has a different effect on depression than D3
• It doesn’t affect the immune system like D3 can

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain the signs of vitamin D overdose. I’ll see you in the next video.

Just a clarification-
The graph by weeks of daily doses.

[LG-universe]

My doctor prescribed 50, 000 D2 for me about 10 years ago, which didn't help me. I researched and found out D3 was better. I let my doctor know that she prescribed the wrong one and that I was taking the better version D3 (which I still take to this day). She just shrugged. That was my last time seeing her. Always do your research.

My husband was going to the VA for his medical treatment. I was always suspicious about the level of care he was getting, so I started going with him. The day that the female NP who was supposed to be taking care of him prescribed 50, 000 international units of vitamin D2 in one dose for him I let her know clearly that that was not right. I told her D3 was the kind we needed to take and it needed to be balanced with K2 and magnesium. She threw such fit you can't even imagine! She stormed out of the room, back in, out again, slammed some drawers and some doors and then screamed at me that I wasn't a doctor and I didn't know anything and what made me think I had a right to prescribe medicine! That was the day he quit going to the VA, and I went looking for other medical help. Apparently that is the standard dose the military prescribes for all its people who happened to have a vitamin D deficiency. It really opened my eyes to the dangers of letting anybody have control over your body. And it really made me highly suspicious of how the military machine treats our wonderful men and women in uniform

Love this guy. The only Doctor to just get to the point. No clickbait BS! The only thing he is selling is improving your health.

I'm a young guy, 23 years old. I use a lot of my time inside, not getting nearly enough sun light. I had a blood test done, because I was feeling very depressed, and my blood came back with dangerously low levels of vitamin D. I now have to take supplements for the rest of my life, but they have had a significant impact on my health. My sun rash is gone, my skin is looking better and my depressive thoughts have subsided substantially. Mind you everything else from my blood test was tip top, so it is absolutely mind blowing how just a low level of vitamin D, can have such massive negative impact on the body.
Edit: Also, I'm from Scandinavia. It is very dark here most of the year, with limited sunlight hours. A lot of scandinavians actually suffer from low levels of vitamin D, and I would encourage any fellow scandi boys/girls to get it checked, if they haven't already.

[Frsttimer]

I've been taking 5k everyday for a month. My levels were at 17 and I had severe brain fog along with sleep apnea. I had 5 doctor visits and it wasn't until my 5th visit where my D3 levels were checked. UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks again Dr.Berg.

[MargueriteFairProductions]

A warning, get your levels checked. Most people are deficient in Vit D, which can cause many diseases and problems. It is the sunshine vitiman. Most people who died from covid at the start of the pandemic were vit D deficient. Get your levels checked by your personal doctor. the chances are the average person needs more Vit D3. I used to get colds and flus all the time, but after getting my blood tested 5 years ago and was found to be defienct, the doctor gave me an extremely high dose for a couple of weeks, and now I take 5, 000 units daily. Still no more colds or flus. I did not take any of vaccines or boosters and I am not on any other prescription meds. Take back control over your health. That is why blood tests for your vit and mineral levels are so important. Learn how your body works so you can make informed decisons about what to put into it.

Dr. Berg, would you consider making similar videos about different vitamins as well? This one was super helpful, thank you! 💕

[jackiemargaret]

I just want to thank you Dr Berg for sharing your massive amount of research with us ... I have been mystified by other channels who discuss Vit D but do not talk about the differences between VitD2 and VitD3 which is particularly important for people with Hypercalcaemia. Bless You and your family Doctor.❤

[bronislavlee]

I listen to you all the times. Your voice is clear. Your advice is helpful. You are so knowledgeable

[MekaJ]

I take my D3 with K2 after watching one of your videos about two years ago. I found your channel during 'Covidgeddon' (that's what I call 2020). Your channel has really helped me to be healthier.

[annettejones]

You are incredible, If only all GP's had your skills and knowledge, acute illnesses and chronic disease would be halved. Thankyou for all your hard work. As a Registered nurse, you are fast becoming my guiding force to help my patients.

[Lucillevanpelt]

I think many of us this is the first time we’ve heard someone tell us something positive about what we can do to improve our health. I appreciate that very much

[istandforfreedom]

Thank you for all you do for your community here ❤️ You are my families primary go to for our holistic healthcare. Am sure this is the case for ma y of us here!

[brianwalker]

I trust “most” doctors the same as l trust “most” politicians, very close to zero. 😊

[johnmachinmegavegan]

I've supplemented 20k - 25k IUs of Vitamin D (and K2) daily for fifteen or more years. No side-effects. Perfectly healthy at 66.
Let's remember; in our natural, sunny tropical - equatorial environment, in our natural state (much less clothing), our skin would produce 20k IUs of Vitamin D in less than half an hour!
That strongly suggests our optimal daily intake must be many tens of thousands of IUs. And, when you consider that we have Vitamin D receptors on every bodily system, you understand why we need significant amounts of Vitamin D to function healthily - and likely to stave off degenerative disease.

[Baribrooks]

I asked my doctor what happens if a person takes too much D3, and he blew me off, saying “you just don’t want to go there!”🙄 Thanks for answering my question, Dr Berg!

[robertmason]

Thats what I like about you Doc! You all ways have great eye to detail which is crucial when having an audience of opposing views. 👌

[MahaJ]

Thank you dr
I’m having the symptoms of vitamin D overdose!
I took it without k and it’s 10, 000
God bless you
And Merry Christmas ❤

[leonardgibney]

I find your knowledge level astounding.
