Summary

Daily dosing of vitamin D is crucial.

Here are the top symptoms of vitamin D deficiency:

1. High blood pressure

2. Lowered mood

3. Inflammation

4. Weak immune system

5. Sleep problems

6. Skin issues

7. Low back pain or muscle pain

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for overall health. It’s essential to make sure you’re getting enough. Unless you’re taking vitamin D or are getting plenty of sunshine every 24 hours—you’re likely vitamin D deficient.

We also have to consider the factors that hinder vitamin D levels, such as:

• Obesity

• Insulin resistance

• Diabetes

• Lack of sun exposure

• Lack of vitamin D in the diet

• Aging

Consider taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. If you’re worried about vitamin D toxicity, keep in mind that if you go out in the sun for only 30 to 45 minutes, you’re getting about 20,000 IU of vitamin D, so 10,000 IU is not much for your body to handle.

You should also get plenty of magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, and boron when you take vitamin D.

0:00.0	We're going to talk about the seven signs that your body is begging you for more Vitamin D,
0:05.0	as well as why daily dosing of Vitamin D is crucial.
0:10.5	Number one, if you have high blood pressure, one of the biggest causes of high blood pressure is low vitamin D. Number two, lowered mood as in depression. It could be anxiety as well. Number three, inflammation, whether it's from autoimmune or arthritis or anything, if you have

0:50.3	problem is related to a vitamin D deficiency. And seven, lower back pain, as well as muscle
0:57.0	pain. If your muscles are tight, sore, and painful, take more vitamin D, it will get rid of that.
1:03.4	Now let me just share some wild information with you.
1:07.1	When they test you, and they're looking at this inactive version,
1:11.2	they're actually looking at mainly two types of vitamin D. They're looking at
1:17.6	the bound vitamin D or the unbound, the free vitamin D.
1:24.4	Over 99% of all this inactive vitamin D
1:28.2	they test in your blood
1:29.3	is this type right here, bound it.
1:31.4	And then you have a tiny bit that's free. The half life for this bound
1:34.8	vitamin D is like two to three weeks. And the half life for the free is 24 hours.
