I feel like I got cheated in health class back when I was in school. The teacher was insufferable but he didn’t even really teach us anything. He just showed us obnoxious movie clips that vaguely related to human anatomy and made us guess the correlation. This man has taught me more info in 11 minutes then that asshole did in a whole semester. Definitely subscribing.

My friend who is fair skin, was in the sun for a whole month, got a blood test when back home, and was still deficient

Nice video, it basically summaries what I spent 1-2 hours researching—in 10 mins

[Rayblondie]

Very balanced presentation. I didn't know our bodies could store it from what we got when it was sunny. I'm glad I didn't know this when I worked in an office to add to the fact that I was sitting and not active all day.

UPDATE: Yesterday the findings of another randomised trial were released, showing that Vitamin D supplementation did not have a significant protective effect on either cancer or heart disease risk: 25 871 participants were randomised to receive either 2000 IU of Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) or placebo.

After follow up of 5.3 years, there was a 4% reduced chance of cancer and 3% reduced chance of heart disease in the Vitamin D group. However when statistical uncertainty is taken into account, it is very likely that there is actually no benefit from Vitamin D supplementation.

This video should be updated for it's application and findings in Covid-19.

Aaaaw for a second there I thought he was going to say that petting a dog was a source of Vitamin D. Damn it!

You've unlocked new information for me in this video - just as you've done in the previous ones. Thanks for sharing and educating! Looking forward to more.

[KarmaKutie]

Thank you for your easily understandable and informative excellent presentation! You are an excellent presenter also ... which makes the information extremely valuable <3

Really hope this channel grows, geometrically upwards, thanks from Singapore

The correlation/causation conundrum might be because the dosage of 600 iu is totally inadequate. Masaai show VITAMIN D levels 10 to 15 times US norms with zero ill effects. Bump that dose to 10k + retest.

Great presentation. Clear normal speed and elaborate (about the topic). So much i did not know about Vitamin D in such a short video. The professional way it has been presented makes not even realize 11 minutes has passed.

[shoebox]

I really enjoyed this video. the information the doctor gave was clear and concise. very informative.

[djlowtek]

Damn the production quality is fantastic here. Great work thanks for the info

I feel like there's not enough study to truly define how much supplements we should take..
Some claim that we need more than 1000+IU of D3 while the other said we need no more than 1000IU at most..

[nistelse]

2018 study from japan and china showed vit d prevents and treats liver and pancreatic and other cancers.

This is everything you need to know about vitamin d Love from India 🇮🇳

Me a teenager who's always in my room playing video games watching this: 😰

[SariYT]

So if it's so easy to get vit D then why is everyone suggesting taking regular vit d3? The way you explain it most people would only need to be outside for 15 mins at you're done for weeks if not months...

I like how there was no lame humor in this, like in most videos I see nowadays.
