As the video states, vitamin D isn’t just for bones, it’s key for immunity. Aim for 50 ng/ml serum. Recent studies showed 20000 iu per day is OK and it doesn’t drive serum calcium up. 4000 iu is a reasonable dose, but one should get tested.
The English script is available in the description for most YouTube videos.
^ When you say serum, is that an injection then, or just drank orally?
Serum refers to being from the blood, or a characteristic of blood.
Thanks. I think I've watched too many mad scientist horror movies. Anyway, is the ng/ml measurement you mentioned found through bloodwork/labs?
Yes, but there is a different unit for the measurements and I can’t remember it off the top of my head.
Vitamin D3 is the only supplement I take, on recommendation of my cardiologist ten years ago. The bottle says 50 mcg/2000 i.u. and I take one/day.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
If I was you, I’d take 4000 iu unless full body midday sun is available on a daily basis. Also, if your cardiologist hasn’t also recommended vitamin K2 m7, take that. It’s usually part of a vitamin K supplement. K2 helps with transfer of calcium from the arteries therefore preventing hardening. K2 is high in fermented food such as Kimchee and yogurt.
I take half that for giggles and farts. I also take a One A Day for guys over 50.

I may have to talk to my doctor about adding that test to my blood work regimen, currently every 6 months.
Does it work? The farts part, I mean.
Very unfortunate that people have add that test and the fact that Fauci didn’t recommend.
One a Day is essentially worthless for vitamin D.
Adults aged up to 70 years old should be getting at least 600 IU. Adults older than 70 should be getting at least 800 IU of vitamin D. However, some sources say you should consume up to 1000 IU of vitamin D past the age of 70. If you are older than 65, you should get a blood test and speak with your doctor to tailor a treatment plan to your body.

That’s all BS.
Sunlight, egg yolks, mushrooms, fish...there's your vitamin D

It’s great if you had your serum level checked by blood work to verify sufficiency. 46% of people are deficient. Obesity is a major cause of deficiency because fat sequesters Vitamin D.
I take 2000 (sometimes 4000) IUs of D, but I do fish, eggs, and sunshine as well. I haven't done mushrooms in 40 years.....
Sorry for reviving this thread.
What do you do when your whole body hurts? When it's too late to begin exercising and running.
That's my case, and I can say that only CBD helps. Anyone tried it? I mean, it's something. Feels much better than sitting there in your sorrow.
I'm subscribed to Releaf medical cannabis clinic here in the UK, and I get a monthly consultation. Pay around £200 for everything, including the CBD oil. Best decision ever made.

I'll bite. With the arrival of Covid, I had to stop going to the gym. Walked the abandoned elementary school ground track for a couple years. I'm still recovering from neck surgery so taking it easy. Do PT twice / week for now. Soon back to the Mall for a 3 Mile Mosey daily. Once I get clearance from the orthopedic surgeon, I'll return to the Gym for weight training. Old routine, 5 days a week weight training anternate upper / lower body daily. Also do an additional 3 miles on a treadmill. I take Sundays off for rest.
I need to find a chair yoga class again. At our age, it's amazing what it does for your balance. Feeling wobbly on a ladder? Do you hold on to something (cabinet, chair) when you bend over? This works wonders. I have a few YouTube videos of my old yoga teacher so I'm using that until i find a class.
I'm retired....so the old routine....at the Mall at 7AM and walk for an hour.....off to the gym for another hour - hour & a half. Done for the day around 10AM. Best time at the gym? 8-9 AM. Working folk winding up their routines before the retirees show up at 9. Retirees? Bad....half of them are just there for socializing. Sitting on machines NOT using them. Had to leave the gym closest to me (LA Fitness) due the the Entitled White Folk with no common courtesy. At the gym a bit further away and the folk there have manners and are there to work out. (That entitled gym is in the neighborhood where I grew up.)
Find a gym you like, set up a routine and stick to it. I'm a notorious procrastinator but I was able to keep a workout routine for years.

I'd need more information to give specific recommendations, but I'd say two things. First, it's never too late to begin exercising. Unless you're suffering from some sort of chronic illness that is causing the pain, your body is probably craving exercise of some sort. Obviously, you're not going to start with something strenuous, but just walking is among the best exercises. Start a walking routine and ramp it up as you're able. You can also, and probably should, find a personal trainer who can work with you on movement exercises that your body can handle, and increase those as you start to make progress.
The other thing I'd look at is your diet. Try to cut down on highly processed foods, heavy carbs, and prepackaged meals in favor of lighter, single ingredient recipes featuring fish, chicken, fruits, and vegetables. Also, limit alcohol, and if you smoke, try to stop or at least cut way back. Diet is a much larger contributor to overall health than exercise, so this may be the most critical thing. If you struggle, seek the assistance of a nutritionist. I'm not suggesting some fad diet to lose weight, but rather a structured diet for good long-term health.
It sounds like you have your work cut out for you, but there really aren't any shortcuts. You have to move, and you have to eat right if you want to be healthy. If there is some medical reason you can do those things at some basic level, then you need the assistance of a physician. Best of luck.
