Thank you so much for this and ALSO thank you for not taking money from supplement companies or anyone else!

[kevinharry]

I’m always impressed by your no spin presentations. It’s all about the data. Please keep up the good work!

[orcanimal]

Love these 30 min rundown about different supplements. More please!

[janwanderer]

still the best channel on YouTube, thank you!

[woofinu]

Thanks for a nerdy discussion. The right amount of detail for me. The translation to an actionable diet and supplement strategy is very useful.

I recently started researching the nutrition topic (a little more than the casual "Avocados are good for you because the good fat" kind of stuff) and came across many contradicting opinions, so I got confused as nutrition used to be "this guy says this, the other guy says the opposite, coffee is good, coffee is bad, carnivore good carnivore bad, oil good, oil bad" and what not. Then I found Plant Chompers and then your channel and I was so relieved, that there is actual research on these topics, actual answers, an actual scientific consensus, also of course stuff that is currently unclear, but at least I can come to your channel, with the good feeling I am not hearing "just my favorites guy opinion". Thanks for your work, much appreciated.

Great video, thanks Gil. I found your channel and really like how you seem very objective, based on data

[MariDorot]

Fantastic overview of Vitamin D with clear guidance and no spin.

Thank you so much! This is extraordinarily helpful - the story is confusing without this analysis.

Thanks again for an excellent summary. I am a primary are physician in Toronto Canada. I have had an interest in nutrition/preventative medicine for years. Great that you go through and list references. Will you put out a video on calcium? Thanks for everything.

My blood levels wouldn't move at all when I had 2000 or 4000 IU daily. I was stuck at around 30. My doc prescribed me I think 20k weekly and it didn't change anything much either.

Once I went higher, ie 6000/8000/10000 IU daily i got to around 50-55 and stay in this area ever since. I have drastically better immune system than pretty much everyone. Same with my wife, her immune system improved day/night since she got her plasma levels to ~50.

[viveviveka]

Thank you for the nuances, and for differentiating groups.

I'd like to know your opinion on Vit D and prostate cancer. My oncologist had me start taking Vit D (4000iu) after radiation and it seemed to help lessen my PSA number to zero. His advice was to keep taking it. As he said, "Did it work ?" "IDK, did it hurt?, No." Further research seems to suggest that males in northern latitudes should make sure they get enough Vit D. to lessen Prostate cancer odds.

[nichtsistkostenlos]

Not sure if I have an absorption issue, but I had some serious side effects of low Vitamin D and I have to take 5000 IU a day to manage those symptoms, this was something that I settled on with my doctor after a few years of trial and error. It helped me tremendously, but I totally agree that you shouldn't just take Vitamin D just to take it, especially high doses.
