Welcome to the Dr. Berg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Dr. Eric Berg.

So, today I want to touch on a very important topic, vitamin D.

You know how important vitamin D is for the immune system.

You know how important it is for keeping calcium in the bone.

You also know how important it is to decrease inflammation, but it's an immune modulator.

So in other words, it can control the immune system, and a lot of people are taking a good

amount of it every day.

And that's very, very good.

However, you need to be aware of this one fact, okay?

If you do large amounts of vitamin D over a period of time, without enough magnesium in

your diet, let's say you're magnesium deficient.

Because you don't consume any vegetables, and you don't take any magnesium.

What happens is higher doses of vitamin D intensifies magnesium deficiencies.

Magnesium works with vitamin D. They work together.

They share the same enzymes.

So, as you increase vitamin D, you could potentially decrease magnesium.

Magnesium has a very, very important function of keeping calcium from accumulating inside

the cells, inside the kidney, and the arteries, and the joints.

So it's very similar to vitamin K2, and vitamin K2 helps keep calcium from building up in the

soft tissues.
