Summary

Today, we’re going to talk about the most important vitamin: vitamin D! There is a lot of misinformation about vitamin D.

Vitamin D blood levels are not very well correlated with the vitamin D inside your cells. It’s also virtually impossible to get enough vitamin D from food.

There are 2 different systems for vitamin D: one for calcium and bone and one for all the non-calcium functions of vitamin D, including the immune system, prostate, skin, gut, brain, and muscles. Hardly any of the vitamin D in your blood goes into this second system!

Most research on vitamin D involves the calcium system of vitamin D and only 600 to 800 IU. This amount may be sufficient for bone health but not for the other functions of vitamin D.

Barriers to vitamin D absorption that can lead to low vitamin D include the following:

•Air pollution

•Sunscreen/Avoiding the sun

•Gut inflammation

•Magnesium deficiency

•Genetics

•Latitude/Altitude/Season

•Aging

•Insulin resistance

•Low cholesterol

•No gallbladder

A healthy person needs around 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 each day. If you have health concerns, you may need more.

0:00.0	I'm going to talk about the number one vitamin D danger that you must know about.
0:04.0	There are so many different lies about vitamin D that you're told on a regular basis.
0:09.0	I'm going to sort all that out.
0:10.1	On one hand, they'll tell you, keep your vitamin D not over 4,000 I use to keep everything safe
0:16.2	But on the other hand if you need a therapeutic dosage to correct a major illness you're gonna have to use amounts much much higher than that but the problem
0:26.2	with that is the medical institutions will tell you those levels are toxic they're
0:31.4	dangerous vitamin D is the most important
0:35.3	vitamin. Why? Because it's involved with 2,500 different genes. No other
0:42.2	nutrient that is in our food is involved with even close
0:46.7	to that many different things. The other thing to know is there's no agreed upon
0:50.8	blood level of Vitamin D. It's all over the place. Some doctors say
0:55.1	that you'll be fine with 20 to 30 nanograms per milliliter.
0:59.4	Yet other doctors will say you can go up to 150 nanograms per milliliter. The interesting
1:05.4	thing about the blood level of vitamin D is that it's not very well
1:09.4	correlated with the vitamin D inside your cells.
1:13.5	Most medical journals do not like to publish anything positive about vitamin D.
1:18.8	Why?
1:19.4	It competes with big pharma because you can get Vitamin D for free from the sun.
1:24.0	So don't expect a lot of Vitamin D research in the future, especially using higher amounts.
1:29.0	Their goal is to make Vitamin D very, very dangerous and toxic at low amounts.
1:36.0	It's also virtually impossible to get your Vitamin D levels from your food.
1:40.4	It's just not in our diet.
