Vitamin D deficiency
Vitamin D it is the most important vitamin out of all the vitamins because if you’re deficient but your immune system doesn’t work you’re going to have inflammation you can have all sorts of issues with sleep and digestion and the list goes on and on and on but they may
Vitamin D deficiency causes
know some of the common reasons why themajority of the population is deficientin vitamin D gut inflammation no gallbladder as weage our skin becomes thicker we can’tabsorb vitamin D from the Sun the darkerthe skin is the less vitamin Dabsorption because of the melanin thepigment in the skin the more obesesomeone isthe more diabetic they are the moreinsulin resistance they have the lessvitamin D they’re going to absorb and also where they live if they live at ahigh latitude in the north they’re notgoing to get much deep and it’svirtually impossible to get vitamin D from your diet people are also moreaware that their genetics have a bigplay in vitamin D too there are manydifferent genes that a person can have aproblem with that either makes itdifficult to convert into the activeform of vitamin D or just absorb vitaminD and I have that problem myself thenyou have if a person has an infectionmicrobes can downgrade vitamin Dreceptors and block the absorption vitamin D as their strategy to overcomeyour immune system if someone has afatty liver or they smoke or theyconsume sugar or they go through stressthey’re going to absorb less vitamin Dif they’re on a Statin or on a low-fatdiet they’re not going to get as muchvitamin D if there’s pollution in theair or even if they’re getting too manyOmega six fatty acids with the soil oilthe corn oil the canola oil that willblock vitamin D but I want to talk aboutseven things that you probably havenever heard of before and they’re veryinteresting and they’re very important
Vitamin D explained
To know number onethe majority of side effects that mayoccur when you take vitamin D okay andI’m going to list them fatigue insomniaconstipation diarrhea skin rash nauseaheadache pain all could occur if you’relow in magnesium magnesium is such animportant mineral in relationship toVitamin D it helps it work better and ifyou’re deficient in magnesium which alot of people are vitamin D may give youadditional issues so in other words ifyou take more Vitamin D it canexaggerate an already deficient
situation with magnesium now of coursethe side effect from very large amountsof vitamin D over many many monthspotentially creating hypercalcemia couldgive you kidney stones but this is veryvery rare and this I think is theprobably the biggest fear they don’trealize that you’d have to take a lotmore over a long period of time beforeyou got kidney stones or hypercalcemiaand if you’re taking magnesium and otherfactors related to this vitamin D likeK2 the odds of you getting hypercalcemia too much calcium in the blood even goeven lower but drinking a little bitmore water like 2.5 liters of fluid perday can really almost eliminate theformation of kidney stones becausekidney stones form when there’s a superconcentrated amount of this calcium inthe urine so if your urine is so dilutedit can never be super concentratednumber two taking vitamin Dinfrequently Works a little bit better
than on a regular basis so if we comparetaking 10 000 IUS of vitamin D every dayas a maintenance dose and you insteaddid 50 000 IUS once a week or twice aweek that might work a little better foryou and this is good because sometimespeople forget to take vitamin D and theythink is it going to do any good if Itake it if you few times a week and theanswer is yes remember vitamin D is afat soluble vitamin so when it goes inthe body it gets stored in the fat cellsand it’s it can be released over timeit’s not like a water soluble vitaminlike some of the B vitamins and vitamin C that you would want to take those on adaily basis the next thing that peopledon’t realize is this when you consumelike farm-raised fish which I mean it’sso so common in restaurants and you justneed to start reading the labelsfarm-raised fish has four times lessvitamin D as well cod fish grain-fedanimals compared to grass-fed animalshave much less vitamin D and chickensand pigs that roam outside and that areable to get out of the barn and they’reexposed to the Sun have much morevitamin D then these pigs and chickensthat are confined to a a structure in fact
When a pig or a chicken and doesn’tget to see the daylight they’re likethree times less vitamin D all rightnumber four and this is really reallyinterestingout of all the factors that can improveyour health okay vitamin D is behindeating a healthy diet and exercise allright number fivevitamin D2 which is mainly you have toget a prescription foris very different than vitamin D3 infact vitamin D2 actually in some Studieshave worsened MS okay versus vitamin D3has greatly improved Ms lupus another autoimmune disease is not affected by D2but it is with D3 the studies in vitaminD2 do not decrease mortality but thestudies with vitamin D3 do and takingvitamin D2 can actually inhibit theabsorption of vitamin D3 all right nextPoint okay some people when they go outand get exposure to the sun they thinkthat they’re getting a lot of vitamin Dwhen they’re getting exposed to the Sunfor like 10 minutes so let’s say BestCare scenario you’re young you don’thave any of these other barriers ofabsorption vitamin D and you’re exposinga lot of your skin to the Sun for about
10 minutes you’re only going to get 400IU use the vitamin D that is very verylow amounts so just realize that ittakes a bit more exposure to Sun to getenough vitamin D alright and last pointthat I think is very very importantbecause a lot of people take vitamin D3and they don’t realize thatmanufacturing companies are adding cornsyrup to vitamin D in fact themanufacturing company that I work within Europe basically told me with a highlevel of certainty I was the only one toask or request a vitamin D productwithout corn syrup and I would suspect asimilar thing is happening in the U.Sbut I don’t know for sure so when youget a vitamin D product make sure theydon’t add the corn syrup or themaltodextrin now that you know those
