This guy is great! He explained possible inflammatory responses when supplementing with Vit D. He is one of the few doctors that ever mentions checking 1, 25 hydroxy in addition to 25 hydroxy. Wish there were a lot more practioners like him. There would be less people suffering.

This is outstanding information! I take 5000iu D3 and my recent lab result was 25-Hydroxy 55 ng/mL, but the active level was not checked. I specifically asked my dr to check my vitamin D levels, so it's disappointing that he did not order the test for active level. I am 54 year old black male with a LONG family history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, so I want to make sure my levels are optimized. Fortunately, my labs generally look great, so I'm not overly concerned right now, but next year I will be sure to request both readings.

My vitamin D level was 4. After years of extreme pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety, heart palpitations...a great doctor tested my blood. He said he had never seen a vitamin D level so low.

Kudos Dr. Sung for the clear explanation and application which none of my previous doctors had advised. Thank you.

When I was diagnosed with MS my doctor never once mentioned checking my vitamin D level. Years later I found out it was 7! This was thanks to a new holistic medicine doctor.

Hi Dr I only took Vitimins when when my Dr told me to My wife and I are 83 and 76 , so we are very happy to see your videos. Thank you very much Dr Sung May all living creatures be happy and free from suffering regards Micheal

My doctor has me on 5000 ui of D3, I have auto immune disease, and have chronically low D3. I get tested twice a year. There is a lot of confusion about D3 levels! This was a very good video!

You are one the few doctors who tells the truth about Vit D while other doctors are telling their patients to take vit D without checking their active form.

My D levels have been chronically insufficient since my 30’s. I was on 2k units per day & I my level was only 23. Upped the dose to 5k along with magnesium and K2 and got it up to 49. Was taking 5k + per day during the pandemic and just got my Vitamin D test back and now it’s only 38. Confused. I have taken Vitamin D freely, sometimes even doing a 10k dose. My doctor has never suggested to test the active D levels. I may be one of the unhealthy ones but I pretty much feel fine. Good energy, decent sleep and no major symptoms. I do have some kind of digestive issues so wondering if that could be the reason for my inability to build up sufficient D levels? Otherwise I’m stumped. Regular doctors won’t do a thing to help patients be well or get well unless you have an acute illness and even then they make up excuses why and send you home. They are offended if you do research on your own and deny service if you ask for specific tests. This is a good video. Food for thought. Thank you.

Your a great doctor you explain everything so that the average person understands what your saying.

Take 10,000 iu a day for over 5 years and most recent test was 90.7 ng/ml.

This explains why in my over 12 years experience taking vitamin D3 my serum level of D3 never got above 30ng/mL. Which is also what I had hypothesized; because my doctors never bother to tell me SH*T. More than 12 years ago, I had high liver enzymes and an elevated PSA so my doctor ordered a prostate biopsy (which I never had) and put me on 2,000iu of D3. Later, after testing, he diagnosed me with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. A very rare condition for a man to have and, he said, incurable. About a year or so later when my serum level didn’t rise I increased my D3 to 6,000iu/day. Over the next ten years my serum levels STILL did not rise above 30ng/mL. However, about 6 or 7 years after this diagnosis my liver enzyme levels did reset to normal and another test for PBC was NEGATIVE! This test was done by my new VA doctors so naturally they didn’t believe I’d ever had PBC. It was only after my prostate cancer diagnosis that I began researching vitamin D3 in earnest. By megadosing between 50,000iu and 100,000iu I was able to raise my serum level to 129ng/mL, which is considered high but not if you are fighting cancer. With cancer tumors, the higher D3, the better! As a result of this personally prescribed therapy, my follow-up MRI has revealed that one of the two small (25% and 30%), slow-growing tumors discovered in my prostate biopsy has shrunk to just 6mm and the second tumor has DISAPPEARED! We have not even begun to uncover the near-miraculous power of Hormone D3.

This is very informative. I have kidney disease and I finally know why I’m taking calcitriol.

This confirms my suspicions, especially the low D autoimmune connection. Thank you so much for this!! I finally know what to test for.

Interesting, informative, and valuable information Doctor, thank you. Was glad to hear you reference K2 and magnesium. That’s another important discussion.

Excelent video, indeed! Thank you Dr Sung for your explanation. I am a dentist (already retired) and although I knew several things about Vit D , I didn't know when we must test the 1,25 OH Vit D.

Excellent video like always, Dr. Really appreciate the info you share! Curious if you could do a video on supplementing with fulvic and humic acid. Safety, recommended daily amount, side effects, and possible interactions with other supplements or rx. Lots of people raving about it. Thanks so much 🙏😊

Thank You. Finally somebody who understands 25 vs 1 25 forms if vit D. I have been telling my doctors to measure 1 25 for 5 years and it has been coming in elevated, 25 being always low. What do my doctors do - they tell me to take more D. I developed and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 3 years ago, if I took 5k oral vitamin D I would be in the hospital tomorrow. Most people with UC however benefit from supplementing with D. I will definitely read the research you posted.

Sooo interesting. I was wondering about this with my Sjögren’s so I’ve been taking a low 1000 IU until I researched more and now you’ve given me the info I’ve been looking for! I wish your clinic was in the U.K. ..
