There are cases where people take vitamin D and don’t see results. So what do you do when vitamin D doesn’t work?
Why vitamin D isn’t working:
1. You have damage in your digestive system
If your gut isn’t allowing you to absorb vitamin D because of damage, what do you do?
• Take gut-friendly vitamin D such as sublingual, topical, and injected versions
• Get vitamin D from the sun
2. A problem with the vitamin D receptor
If you have a problem with this receptor, vitamin D won’t connect 100%. 30% of the population has a problem with the vitamin D receptor. 40% of obese people have a problem with the vitamin D receptor. There is a simple test you can take to see if you have this problem.
What do you do in this situation?
• Take more vitamin D (40,000-60,000 IUs)
• For every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D, take 100 micrograms of vitamin K2
A few more remedies to enhance vitamin D absorption:
• Omega-3
• Zinc
• Boron
• Magnesium
• Intense exercise

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Now many, many times people take vitamin D without really seeing the results. |
| 0:48.8 | And this video is going to discuss the two situations, why that occurs. The first situation is you have damage in your digestive |
| 0:56.3 | system. You may have Crohn's, IBS, Irable bowel syndrome, psilic from consuming gluten, which you're |
| 1:02.5 | sensitive to, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, any damage that's in your digestive system, |
| 1:08.9 | and you may have experienced a lot of antibiotics, |
| 1:13.2 | or eating a lot of junk food, or drinking alcohol, whatever the cause, because the receptors |
| 1:19.5 | for vitamin D are in your intestines. And that's where you absorb calcium, for example, |
| 1:24.6 | by a factor of 20 times more. And that's one of the big purposes of vitamin D. |
| 1:29.3 | So you have vitamin D that goes in the receptor. So there's something called the vitamin D receptor. |
| 1:35.5 | So if your gut's not allowing you to absorb the vitamin D, what do you do? Well, very simply, |
| 1:40.4 | you take gut-friendly vitamin D. That would include any one of these, like sublingual vitamin D, |
| 1:47.2 | topical vitamin D where you put in the skin, it absorbs through the skin, you can go to the doctor |
| 1:52.4 | and get an injected, or the sun. Now, the second reason why vitamin D might not work is you have a |
| 1:59.8 | problem with the vitamin D receptor itself. |
| 2:03.4 | And it becomes blocked for several reasons. So in other words, if you have a problem with this |
| 2:08.4 | receptor, the vitamin D will not connect 100%. Maybe 30% or 40%, but not 100%. And by the way, 30% of the population has a problem with the vitamin D receptor. |
| 2:23.4 | And also 40% of people who are obese also have a problem with the vitamin D receptor. |
| 2:29.0 | Now, there's a very simple and inexpensive test that you can get done to see if you have this problem. And it's only |
| 2:35.1 | $29. And I'll put a link down below if you want to get that test done. And that test will determine |
