Vitamin D misinformation is everywhere! Learn why the vitamin D recommended dosage doesn’t align with actual science, how this vitamin D controversy started, and how much vitamin D you really need. 👉 Get Dr. Berg's Daily Routine as a free download: https://drbrg.co/3Nx39bV To learn more about the benefits of sunlight and vitamin D, watch these next: ▶️ https://youtu.be/cmPEA0EWd7g ▶️ https://youtu.be/lcrlfAhzkec ▶️ https://youtu.be/2ksPzKMJgXs Find out more about the critical error that affected the vitamin D RDA: ▶️ https://youtu.be/EWZrSK4xtXs 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D research explained 1:23 Vitamin D data reanalysis 1:52 The Institute of Medicine and the vitamin D RDA debate 4:08 Vitamin D benefits 8:22 Vitamin D toxicity 8:55 Vitamin D deficiency explained We’ve been told that 600 IU of vitamin D is enough, but how much do we really need? In 2014, a group of researchers reanalyzed the data used to set the current vitamin D RDA. They found that instead of 600 IU per day, we actually need 8895 IU of vitamin D every day! This recalculation was confirmed by other independent research; yet, to this day, it has been completely ignored. “Forbidden Facts” by Gavin de Becker exposes some of the health controversies surrounding the Institute of Medicine. They’re viewed as the top scientific authority that is supposed to protect us, but who are they really trying to protect? Vitamin D isn’t just for your bones. It’s vital for your immune system, muscles, brain, mood, cognitive function, metabolic function, and more. Your risk of cancer even increases when you’re low. Why haven’t they corrected this vitamin D mistake? Not only have they not corrected it, but they’ve also become insistent on maintaining the recommended vitamin D dosage as is. We need significantly more than 600 IU of vitamin D! Vitamin D blood levels do not reflect the vitamin D in your cells. The standard of 20 ng/mL is not enough. Although this number is often debated, you need around 50 to 80 ng/mL to potentially ensure you have enough vitamin D in your cells. Vitamin D toxicity is extremely rare, and the risks can be mitigated by magnesium, vitamin K2, and increased water intake. We’ve created an indoor, sugar-filled society that fears the sun! So it’s no surprise that vitamin D levels are suffering. What can you do? Start getting more sun! On the days you don’t, or in the winter months, take a vitamin D3 supplement with magnesium and vitamin K2.

They didn't just ignore it, they purposely stopped people from going outside and receiving it.
