    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.

    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 may have to talk to my doctor about adding that test to my blood work regimen, currently every 6 months.

    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.

    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.....
