Is It Safe to Take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3? Dr. Berg Explains

My sis has just been diagnosed with intestinal adenocarcinoma cancer stage 3 worse still she's developed ASCITES swollen stomach...after watching Dr berg videos she's on IF and low carb diet keto she takes 50iu d3, potassium chloride to balance electrolytes besides other sups like berberine,green tea and pepper 🌶️ to counter glutamine effect since fasting will starve cancer off sugar .pray for her everyone please by the grace of God she'll be victorious and I'll come here to tell her story thanks. God protect this channel for us fervently

This is my story: I’m a black 19 year old male. I’m 6’2 and well built. I used to play football and do weightlifting. Then about a year ago I started to feel less and less energy. This got worse and worse for about 8 months until one day I felt this TERRIBLE fatigue. If you’ve clicked on this video you probably know what this type of fatigue feels like. Almost like someone is SUCKING the life out of you. I lost so much weight and looked like a cancer patient. I experienced IBS symptoms and thought I had colon cancer. I had bone aches all over. As always my doctors didn’t know what the hell was wrong and would just dismiss is as anxiety. I got my blood tested and my vitamin D was 35. I immediately self diagnosed and took 20,000iu + magnesium a day. When I tell you I felt superhuman. I went on a run for the first time in a YEAR. And felt invincible. I ran out of pills and dropped to 4,000iu and felt the fatigue again. What I learned: If you’re deficient you’re probably going to need at least 10,000iu + K2 and magnesium to maintain healthy levels. Also if other serious health issues have been ruled out you’ll need to be patient as it takes a while to get better. Avoid looking on the internet about symptoms which could increase anxiety. Hope this helped. Ps. Within a month I grew an inch in height after supplementing 🫣

Takeaways: 1. Every single cell in the body has receptors for vitamin D and there is no evidence of vitamin D deficiency. 2. All people have vitamin D deficiency and they have all sort of problems. Arthritis, Depression, Auto immune system, BP, Blood sugar. 3. Vitamin D toxicity is very very rare. 4. Vitamin K2 keeps Calcium from soft tissues. 5. International unit ( iu) it doesn't indicate the weight. You should not consider the absolute number as it is. 10000 iu is also refer very very tiny portion. 6. There are many barriers for Vitamin D absorption like brown skin, insulin resistance, stress, place you live , obese etc... 7. T helper cell in immune system helps to regule in not attacking our own body. 8. Vitamin D helps in these T cells. 9. K2, Mg, Zn should take with Vitamin D. These keep Vitamin D active and reduces toxicity. 10. Increasing Water also prevent Calcium stones. 11. Summary is Taking 10000 iu or more is perfectly fine

I just had a minor surgery a couple of weeks ago, and the nurse asked if I took any supplements. When I told her I took 20k of vitamin D, the nurse was shocked. I asked her if she knew how many MGs in 20k IUs. She did not. Let's move on please. Keep up the good work Dr. Berg. Merry Christmas

I have taken 20.000 iu daily for 3+ years and have no problems. I also take k2, zinc and magnesium so the risk for toxicity is about zero.

I have been taking 12,000 to 16,000 d3 and k2 for years with no problems. This has helped improve my autoimmune condition which is continuing to improve.

When I started taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, even with my fair skin, I was able to stay out in the sun for hours instead of burning within 20 minutes! I wish I had known this decades ago and saved myself a lot of sunburn over the years.

My bones were getting so weak I felt like I could fracture them with the slightest pressure. Started taking D3 and K2 in super high concentrations. Insanely rapidly my bones recovered. Blind obedience to rhese ordinary doctors will kill you sooner or later.

I daily take 40.000 UI of Vitamin D3 and I feel perfect. Along with magnesium glycinate and threonate (300 mg and 150 mg respectively), K2 and Zn from multivitamin, and 3L or more of water per day.

Got my blood work done at the VA some years back and noticed my triglycerides were high and HDL were low and the only thing my doctor commented on was my high Vitamin D levels. That's when I knew the medical system does not care. HDL was 32 Ng/dl

Shared from Dr Berg notes: Today, we’re going to take a look at vitamin D. Every cell and tissue in your body has receptors for vitamin D. However, there is still no medical consensus on what vitamin D deficiency is. Many people are deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency can negatively affect your immune function and can cause inflammatory conditions like arthritis, autoimmune disease, depression, and high blood pressure. Vitamin D toxicity is very rare. Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity mirror the symptoms of vitamin K2 deficiency. This poses the question—do you have too much vitamin D or just not enough vitamin K2? Vitamin K2 is intricately involved with the transportation of calcium, while vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium from your gut into your blood. Vitamin K2 keeps calcium out of your soft tissues and strengthens your bones. A lot of the confusion surrounding the RDA of vitamin D has to do with its measurement—international units. An international unit is an arbitrary number agreed on by some committee, and the amount varies from vitamin to vitamin. For example, one international unit of vitamin E is not the same as one international unit of vitamin A. Several factors affect the absorption of vitamin D: •Skin color •Age •Weight •Insulin resistance •Stress level •Genetics •Geographical location •Season •Gut health •Liver health •Gallbladder health or removal Vitamin D is intimately involved in the immune system and plays a crucial role in the function of Helper T cells. Helper T cells prevent our immune systems from harming our own tissues. If you have issues with your Helper T cells, you could potentially develop an autoimmune disease. Adequate intake of vitamin K2, magnesium, and zinc helps keep vitamin D active and prevent vitamin D toxicity. Plenty of water is also very important. Thank you Dr Berg!😺👍

I had severe hairfall and acne problems, insomnia, id be tired all day. my cognitive response was low, i couldnt study for even an hour. I could never do workouts i burned out so quick i started to feel faint, i stopped working out. Turned out i had vitamin d deficiency. I take 60,000 iu per week. Now i can do minimal workouts, my skin cleared out. Made changes to diet and gut health is improving, working on my sleep schedules 👍

Started taking 10k IUs of Vit D3 (cholecalciferol) along with 55 mcg of Vit K2 (mk7) daily. Feeling great. Thanks to Dr. Berg.

I have MS. I’m a Black American. When I was told by my neurologist to take 10K Vit D3, I asked “1K?” They chuckled and said 10K. So I take 10K IU of VIT D3 and K2 to aid in absorption. They are so please with my blood counts and how my MS is doing. Thank you for all that you do and the knowledge that you give. Merry Christmas!

Thank you. When I hear your content there is such a slight, almost unnoticeable undertone that says we’ve been lied to our whole lives. I really want to thank you for bravery you have no idea how much I value your content. I listened to your other vitamin D video and started taking more and I have noticed the difference. I appreciate your research and how you put it together in these videos. Your a blessing. Praying God’s perfection over you. The truth is hard to find because it’s buried under so many lies. Thanks for having the guts to speak the truth despite all the lies you have to push through. It’s making a difference in my life and I’m sure many others.

You're the most trusted doctor for me ❤

I'm doing 50,000 IUs a day (with vitaminK, magnesium and zinc with copper and selenium)and it's curing my rheumatoid arthritis.

Thank you so much for everything you do for us, Dr. Berg. Since early November, I have successfully gained about 6 pounds of muscle, and I can still comfortably do at least 40 straight pull-ups. No drugs, no alcohol, just natural nutrition, O.M.A.D., I.F. and your Healthy Keto! Again, thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤

Just had a doctor's visit where I had mentioned that I was taking 15000 IUs a day of vitamin D. Boy did he freak out saying that I was taking way too much and that I had Vitamin D toxicity. He sent me for routine blood work and my Vitamin D was just below the middle of the chart.

I'm glad you clarified how much vitamin D is safe. I'm not taking nearly enough and the bottle says each tablet is 500 IU. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
