Maltodextrin in Supplements:

The Best and Worst Types of Magnesium:

Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and typically involves too much calcium in the blood. Even Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, has never personally seen a case of vitamin D toxicity. To develop vitamin D toxicity, you’d have to consume hundreds of thousands of IU of vitamin D3 for months!

Vitamin D needs magnesium to function properly in the body. The more vitamin D you take, the more magnesium you need. Magnesium prevents vascular calcification, the main problem associated with vitamin D toxicity.

The vitamin D receptor is dependent on zinc. Like magnesium, your zinc requirements increase when you take vitamin D. Zinc deficiency symptoms include an altered sense of taste and smell, acne, flaky skin, and lowered testosterone.

When you increase your vitamin D intake, you’ll need more vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps prevent the buildup of calcium and also helps to drive calcium into the bones and teeth.

The active form of vitamin A, called retinol, is also an important cofactor for vitamin D. Vitamin A receptors sometimes bind with vitamin D receptors as a complex. Vitamin A also helps keep calcium out of your arteries.

Always take vitamin D3, not D2. Vitamin D2 is less potent and is typically synthetic. Avoid synthetic vitamin D3 supplements and supplements with fillers such as maltodextrin or glucose syrup.

Leafy greens, chocolate, certain nuts, and pumpkin seeds are the best food sources of magnesium. When choosing a supplement, look for magnesium glycinate. The best food sources of zinc are red meat and shellfish. If you take a zinc supplement, consume it in a blend with other trace minerals.

For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 that you take, you’ll need 100 mcg of vitamin K2. MK7 is the best form. Vitamin K2 is found in high-quality grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, grass-fed beef, and eggs.

It’s best to get your vitamin A from food. Egg yolks, liver, and cod liver oil are the best sources.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you understand the truth about vitamin D toxicity. I’ll see you in the next video.

One day vit d is the miracle. Next day it is dangerous. Tired of this

[abovethuniverse]

After doing supplements i realize just eating healthy food and getting outside does more good than anything.

I love when Dr. Berg pulls out a thick obscure medical book, reads a passage and effortlessly debunks widely accepted truths. People need to realize how valuable this is.

Thank you Dr Berg!

That's a whole lot of info packed into 6 mins Dr. Berg! Turns it into a reference video to watch over and over again. Thank you!

Out of all the books and advice I’ve come across, Banned Spartan Rituals just hits differently. The ancient secrets in there are worth reading for anyone serious about their health.

[alexei]

Thank you for keeping the videos short and to the point. You helped my mother clear her psoriasis after over 10 years of struggling. Thank you DR.berg.

My daughter developed a “connective tissue disorder” her shoulder would dislocate 10+ times per day and she had rips in her tendons. 3 years of physical therapy and surgeries and we were told there was nothing else they can do. I found out about cod liver oil and she hasn’t had dislocations or any more tares in 4 years!!

Magnesium Glycinate: Recommended for its high absorption, with doses potentially exceeding 800 mg to relieve cramps. Some individuals may require significantly higher amounts (up to 2400 mg) depending on needs.

Zinc: Best obtained from food sources like red meat and shellfish. For supplementation, it’s crucial to ensure it's part of a trace mineral blend to avoid creating a copper deficiency over time.

Vitamin K2: For those taking high doses of vitamin D3 (e.g., 10, 000 IU), a ratio of 100 mcg of K2 per 10, 000 IU of D3 is suggested. The preferred form is MK-7, which can be found in grass-fed butter, kimchi, sauerkraut, beef, and eggs.

Vitamin A: Best sourced from animal-based foods such as egg yolks and liver, with cod liver oil being particularly recommended for its balance of vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene from vegetables is noted as an ineffective source for vitamin A.

Hey Doc. Night shift blue collar worker here. Just want to say thanks. Been taking much higher doses like you recommended and man the major difference in my attitude. Also cutting down on the coffee has made a difference. How about a video for the night crew? 🙏

[ohlordy]

Who else just randomly found Dr. Berg videos one day and had been watching ever since?! 🤷

[thomasnolan-mjnm]

Dr. Berg was recommended to me by my sister who is a nurse regarding Rosacea. His natural remedy has worked very well. I listen regularly. Congrats on hitting 13 mill followers 😊

[TheDesperateArtist]

My life is divided to 2 parts:
Before I got to know Dr. Berg, and after...

[Scooters-cw]

I love how you always share the books you are reading with your audience. They are books Big Pharma wishes would disappear. So thank you sir!

[WhiskeyShadowsUSA]

It's very true that almost all people only think about toxicity, not the wrong method of intake

[robertmckay]

Master class in conciseness, you made it rock for this adhd dude.

[thisorthat]

Thank you, Dr. Berg. I love that you showed us the reference book and how the RDA has changed. I ordered an older copy of the book because I believe that much of the information we are getting from doctors has been "diluted". Nutritional therapies have been used successfully in the past, and then covered up or "forgotten". You keep bringing this to light for us and it is extremely helpful. Blessings.

[billbrochocki]

MY HEAD IS THERE'S NO WAY I CAN KEEP ALL THIS

[Querencia]

I appreciate you very much. It’s much easier for me to absorb the information when you write it on the whiteboard and the dosages together so I can screenshot it and make sure I’m getting exactly what you’re saying.

[jeveuxpasdechainecal]

I am sick of this. Eat apples, don't eat apple. Drink milk, don't drink milk. Eat meat, don't eat milk. Take vitamine D, don't take vitamine D. It is tiring.
