Over 900 studies show anti-cancer activity of vitamin D across most cancer types, and randomized controlled trials demonstrate a ~13% reduction in cancer mortality.
Recommended dosage? Most of us have been loading up on vitamin D since before and of course during Covid. I think the typical medical ranges recommended are low. What do you say?
Dr John Campbell put video out suggesting we can store 25,000iu a day, so in winter I take 20-25,000iu and pulse 4-12,000iu daily in active summer months. Also plenty of K2, magnesium zinc etc.
Making sure it is D3 not D2 (synthetic) - also helpful is 'lipsomal' which allows supplement to get into our cells - good to take with K2 as well. We take 10,000 iu of D3 daily & spend time out in sun when it's out & the sky is not covered by toxic chemtrails ...
Susan, Liposomal forms of D3 are not needed, unless you eat no fats whatsoever, which would put you into trouble. The old biochemical adage, "like dissolves like" applies here. As I told my patients for decades, take your vitamin D3, whether in an oil based capsule or an acetate form, with a regular meal, or to use the precise clinical term, "with a fatty meal". Save the liposomal expense for hard to absorb substances, like vitamin C, curcumin, and perhaps berberine.
You should get your Vitamin D level checked with a blood test, and not rely on ‘recommendations’. I was taking 10,000 iu for about 3 years, 5,000 is twice a day, along with 250mcg of K2 with each D3 dosage. I had my doctor check my D level in my last blood test….they usually don’t check it for some reason. My Vitamin D level was over 500 (normal is about 100-120). I stopped D3 and K2 for a month, and the level dropped to 350. I now take 4,000 IU once a day with 250mcg of K2. My point is that who knows how someone else’s recommendation will affect you??
Also need to take note some people have gene mutations, MTHFR. My Vit D levels were EXTREMELY low. I’m a letter carrier outside in sun all day. Dr was shocked when she saw my results. Ordered 50k once a week. I have since found out I carry a gene mutation, and don’t methylate folate, B vitamins, which kinda has a domino effect, I take methylated vitamins and it’s winter, I take 50k a day.
I was watching a video, Dr Eric Berg, he showed a medical book that had the dosages of 400,000 !!! His opinion is once big Pharma realized that no one was getting sick, they reduced it all way down to 4,000!! There’s evidence that during major flu outbreaks during turn of the 20th century, Dr’s told people to increase vitamin D dosage to prevent illnesses
Yeah, I think the recommended doses that were mentioned in the studies quoted, are also on the lower side. I used to give my kids 2500 IU daily, until I once did a bloodtest on them, and both of them were severely deficient. Maybe its because we are vegans, not sure. Since then we take 5000 daily. No negative side effects, as far as I know.
I take 5000 IU’s daily with vitamin K and my blood value stays around 65 to 70 NG’s. I do spend my winters in Arizona, which means I don’t have to boost my vitamin D during the winter time if you are in the northern climate.. the key is to have your blood value of vitamin D measured. It can be done at www.grassrootshealth.net via mail order.! Vitamin D is responsible for managing 3000 gene expressions and this is ignored by mainstream medicine because if we boosted our vitamin D blood value for all adults to over 50 ng’s prescription drug sales would drop as well as physicians visits!
An Endocrinologist specializing in the study of Vitamin D says that all North Americans should be supplementing from 9/21 to 3/21 as the angle of the sun is too low to produce as much Vitamin D as in the spring and summer. So take it all year round, no matter how sunny outside. He said in 2015 that Vitamin D deficiency was epidemic. The lockdowns and increased use of internet makes problem worse!
If you live in a climate that is sunny, and you spend at least 30 minutes in the sun each day (no sunscreen with skin exposed), you will get enough D3, or require minimal supplementation. During winter months, or in climates with little sun, more supplementation is required. I usually take 5k in summer, as I’m outside every day in the garden, and 10k in winter when there’s less sun and I’m indoors more. Blood tests 2x a yr to test levels. Optimal level is 80 minimum. I run in the 100 range. I take additional supplements, C, K2, zinc, etc, etc, etc. Never got COVID despite zero change in lifestyle and haven’t been sick in over 7 years, which is pretty good for a 72 yr old female!
I take it daily, but my levels always remain low or at the lower end of normal. What dosage do you recommend, and are there any particular brands you suggest? Thank you!
Question: How much are you taking daily, and when do you take it?
Many brands are fine. I switch back and forth with Life Extension and Thorne products, but there are many others that show proper dose and good manufacturing practices, and ratings of some are found on ConsumerLab, which does independent testing.
The sickest “un-American” people are in power in USA. Keeping power and the money flowing is the only thing they value, so they are morally unfit to be in power. They must be removed to protect Rights and good people everywhere.
I think we all know why public health policy continues to ignore it. It’s called pharmaceutical and medical greed! “Cancer” is an enormously lucrative industry - a business that employs millions of very high paid personnel, receives endless billions of research dollars - an ongoing never-ending cesspool of “big bucks” that’s been around since I was a kid here in Canada, and in the US as well! If there was an ounce of sincerity about prevention, let alone a cure, the West would have been made aware many years ago! There’s no money to be made from Vitamin D, or from completely healthy people….only sick ones!
The begging question, posed by Nicolas Hulcher... "The only real question left is why public health policy continues to ignore it." Indeed, Nicolas, the best question ever asked.
IT, (VITAMIN D), is deficient in nearly everyone. I understand that EVERY PERSON tested, who died from Covid 19, was found to be deficient in Vitamin D.
Now, Nicolas Hulcher has revealed that cancer is more likely in a Vitamin D deficient setting.
I also understand that Vitamin D, quercetin and zinc are needed together to make all components effective at preventing disease. Zinc is found in mushrooms. Quercetin is found in onions. Vitamin D is found in animal sources like fish and eggs. K2 is found in fermented foods.
The medical system is an abject failure in nutrition. Thanks for educating the doctors in the world, Nicolas, you are a great man in our view. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and your colleagues.
What does someone like me do who has an allergic reaction to vitamin D supplementation? I Don’t do well with synthetic compounds. Many brands have been tried. I try to get it with sun exposure but it’s not enough.
This is why I eat at least 4 eggs daily. 126 eggs every month. 1512 eggs a year. Eggs are loaded with Vitamin D. Egg whites protect the fetus, the egg yolk from bacteria, what do you think it does to your digestive system and subsequently your organs that obtain the nutrients you consume via osmosis? Your organs retain the barrier properties of egg whites protecting them from harmful bacterium. It also helps SIGNIFICANTLY to purge your microbiome of harmful bacterium, parasites, and worms with Praziquantel, Ivermectin, Menbendazol/Fenbendazol and with 3-5 day water fasting.
Pro tip: Fasting doesn't start until there is nothing left in your digestive system meaning 24-36 hours AFTER the very last thing you ate and I enjoy a 5 day fast with naturally flavored sparkling water. It tastes great if you buy the right brand, makes you feel significantly less hungry, and you can drink as much sparkling water as you want. Take it from me who’s lost 130 pounds fasting, dieting, and consuming the aforementioned products to cleanse my system in just 8 months. I’m healthier than I’ve been in years and I feel better too eating 4 eggs daily.
Eggs are the only food you can eat a ton of and still lose weight, they're filling, versatile in the kitchen, and naturally loaded with best nurtrients to make you healthier than ever before. Eggs are incredible. Eat more eggs, your body will thank you.
Blood level is ultimately more important than dose, given how much people can vary. Sunshine/UVB-produced vitamin D auto-regulates (can't overdose, that is) and achieves documented levels up to 120 ng/mL. All documented toxicity appears to be in excess of 200 ng/mL, so following nature's lead, one would likely benefit most from a level somewhere around 100 ng/mL +/-. In addition to K2, magnesium, zinc, iodine, boron all important cofactors for optimal safety and efficacy. Many "can't tolerate Vitamin D" cases are not overdose of vitamin D but rather deficits in adequate cofactor availability. Ironically, the then "Institute of Medicine" advisory group "VITAL Study" of 2000 IU of D3 + 1000 mg Fish oil daily vs. placebo found an even greater 17-25% decrease in deaths from cancer in less than 6 years, but concluded the vitamin D had "no significant effect" because they set the bar at more than 20% reduction in CASES in less than 6 years and "only" had 10% fewer cases in the study group:https://www.vitalstudy.org/findings.html
Note, this is the organization which set the RDA at 1000-2000 IU per day, the "safe upper limit" at 4000 IU per day and changed the decades-long range of normal blood serum 25(OH)D3 level from 30-100ng/mL down to 20-50ng/mL. The argument for the latter was something along the lines that the longstanding range would mean about 2/3 of the world's population was chronically deficient, and that just couldn't be true by their take, so they basically defined the contemporary North American adult as determining the normal range. Uh huh...all those office- cubicle-working, clothes-wearing, concrete-canyon-dwelling, sun-screened people are the equivalent of the Paleo Human at their best...yeah....

Always D3 plus K2

I love Dr Berg. I watched the same video. I take about 10,000 IU daily and check my levels every 6 months. It's usually between 70 and 80
Currently taking 10,000 in per day as well.
I’ve been taking 5000IU of D 3 per day for 15 years, recommended by my rheumatologist for bone pain. It also helps depression.
You have a good Rheumatologist, Nancy. And as you know, D3 also reduces the risk of death from quite a few other issues.
Yeah, I think the recommended doses that were mentioned in the studies quoted, are also on the lower side. I used to give my kids 2500 IU daily, until I once did a bloodtest on them, and both of them were severely deficient. Maybe its because we are vegans, not sure. Since then we take 5000 daily.

It was well reported that during the COVID scam, Fauci was taking 10,000iu a day. Of course, he never spoke about it.
I take 5000 IU’s daily with vitamin K and my blood value stays around 65 to 70 NG’s. I do spend my winters in Arizona, which means I don’t have to boost my vitamin D during the winter time if you are in the northern climate.. the key is to have your blood value of vitamin D measured.

Problem is that life style issues has driven down D values to subnormal values that have been falsely stated as being normal.
Correct!
I am taking 8,500 iu/day and my blood value is 80ng/ml.

I take 5000 IU per day.
I take 5,000iu's a day.
My levels are always perfect, but, for chemo prevention, the amounts of 50,000iu seem a bit excessive.
Just curious as to your thoughts on this ?
Question: How much are you taking daily, and when do you take it?
Many brands are fine. I switch back and forth with Life Extension and Thorne products, but there are many others that show proper dose and good manufacturing practices, and ratings of some are found on ConsumerLab, which does independent testing.
WAKE UP PEOPLE
The sickest “un-American” people are in power in USA. Keeping power and the money flowing is the only thing they value, so they are morally unfit to be in power. They must be removed to protect Rights and good people everywhere.
Vitamin D supplementation may help depression, bone pain, increase immunity, as well as prevent cancer.
USS Liberty
Blocking you.
What happens if you only take vitamin D3 supplements without any vitamin K2? Is it better than nothing to take just vitamin D3?
Okay, but both also good to prevent breast cancer. I take Super K from Life Extension that I buy at Pure Formulas. I buy Vitamin D3 at Costco.
Jews killed Jesus
Take some Vitamin D for your depression and Magnesium for your crankiness. Seek help!
Hey, I was going to mention how Mg and D3 are interdependent for activation and absorption. Even for trolls like Paul, I guess.
