"The Real Danger Of Vitamin D3 Deficiency." Gary Brecka "When A Clinical Deficiency In A Very Simple Compound Leads To A Diagnosis That You Didn't Have... Which Led You To Take A Medication You Didn't Need... Resulting In A Surgical Joint Replacement That Wasn't Required." Vitamin D3 Deficiency Causes: Arthritis (All Forms) Joint Pain Inflammation Cancer Obesity Diabetes High Blood Pressure Heart Disease Anxiety Depression Fibromyalgia Chronic Muscle Pain Bone Loss Autoimmune Disease Bronchitis Tuberculosis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Respiratory Infections Slow Wound Healing UTI, Bladder & Kidney Infections The Higher your Vitamin D Level, the more benefits & protections you will experience. Vitamin D Levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D) 70 nmol/L Optimal Protection Aim For Vitamin D3 Level Above 70 nmol/L Vitamin D3 Has Required Cofactors: Magnesium must be present in food or supplement form to activate Vitamin D, even from the sun. Magnesium is the 'key' that unlocks & activates Vitamin D3. For supplemental, Magnesium Glycinate & Threonate are the most bioavailable forms. And for Vitamin D to transport Calcium correctly to the bones & not calcify within arterial walls & soft tissues within the body, the cofactor K2 must also be present in the diet or in supplement form. Animal based diets provide ample natural K2. For supplemental, use K2 in MK4 or MK7 forms. 30 minutes of sunlight can manufacture 30,000 IU of Vitamin D3. After sun exposure, it takes about 2 hours for the skin to make Vitamin D, delay bathing in order for your body to assimilate it. Vitamin D will not produce or assimilate if bathing is immediate after being in the sun. 👇Vitamin D Deficiency & Chronic Disease👇 👇Vitamin D Deficiency & Mortality👇 👇Magnesium Required Cofactor For Vitamin D3👇 Speaker: Gary Brecka

Vitamin D supplementation was associated with a 40% lower risk of dementia over a decade. After five years, 84% of supplement users were dementia-free compared to just 68% of non-users in a study of over 12,000 people. Vitamin D reduced dementia risk by 33% in adults with mild cognitive impairment or APOE e4, a key genetic risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin—it's a steroid hormone regulating over 2,000 genes critical for brain development, neuroplasticity, and inflammation control. Its roles include clearing amyloid beta plaques and tau buildup, boosting neuron survival via neurotrophic factors like BDNF, and enhancing brain connectivity, particularly when paired with exercise. It’s no surprise, then, that higher vitamin D levels are associated with better cognition, larger hippocampal volume, and lower Alzheimer’s risk. Multiple lines of evidence support this. More than 30 large studies have consistently linked low vitamin D levels to a 50–150% increased dementia risk. People genetically prone to low vitamin D—those with genetic variations affecting vitamin D production or metabolism—have a 54% higher dementia risk. Furthermore, supplementing with 800 IU/day of vitamin D improves memory and cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment and more serious forms of dementia. To learn more about optimizing vitamin D levels for cognitive health, including underlying brain-protective mechanisms and practical supplementation protocols, see the latest FoundMyFitness video.

Vitamin D isn't just a vitamin—it's a steroid hormone that regulates over 5% of your entire genome Yet over 70% of Americans don't have adequate vitamin D levels, severely limiting their immune function, mood regulation, and cognitive health Clinical evidence points to blood levels of 40-60 ng/mL being the sweet spot Supplementing with 4,000 IU daily typically moves people from deficiency to sufficient levels (in general, 1,000 IU raises blood levels by roughly 5–10 ng/mL)

High dose vitamin D supplementation might be doing more harm than good. Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher: Vitamin D is a signalling molecule, not a nutrient to megadose. It mobilizes calcium — but doesn't control where calcium goes. High dose vitamin D drives calcium into the arteries, leaching it from bones. A 3-year study comparing 400 IU/day, 4,000 IU/day and 10,000 IU/day found the highest dose group had statistically significantly worse bone mineral density. A 2006 study found that calcitriol supplementation (the active form of vitamin D) in young adults with kidney disease increased artery calcification — because calcitriol is taken up directly by cells in the artery wall. Artery calcification is one of the strongest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An Indian study compared vitamin D supplementation to 20 minutes of daily sunlight in 100 men with severe deficiency. Remarkably — the supplement group had a larger increase in serum vitamin D than the sunlight group. Yet opposite effects on cholesterol: Sunlight group — cholesterol dropped. Supplement group — cholesterol increased. Why? Sunlight and vitamin D supplements take completely different routes through your body. Vitamin D supplements are fat-soluble. The liver has to synthesize cholesterol and release LDL particles just to transport them through the blood. Sunlight stimulates cholesterol sulfate synthesis directly in the skin. The sulfate component makes the molecule water-soluble — transported freely in the blood without being packaged inside an LDL particle. Because cholesterol sulfate is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it can transfer from skin cell membranes to HDL particles or red blood cells and deliver cholesterol directly to tissues that need it. No LDL carrier required. When you get vitamin D from a supplement instead of the sun, you don't get the simultaneous increase in cholesterol sulfate. The pill doesn't just fail to replicate sunlight. It uses a completely different biological pathway. Seneff: "Vitamin D wants to be subtle. Get out in the sun." "People answer: oh yeah I know, vitamin D is important." "No. Not vitamin D. The sun.” Vitamin D is a proxy for sunlight exposure. The proxy isn't the mechanism.

They say nobody should get any sun exposure unless they wear sunscreen. If that makes you Vitamin D deficient they’ll just have you take it in supplemental form.” ROGAN: “I take Vitamin D supplements.” JACOBSEN: “They don’t work at all. It’s been tested and the evidence isn’t there.” ROGAN: “Did they take it with vitamin K2 and magnesium like you’re supposed to?” JACOBSEN: “I don’t know, but it’s shown no benefits for ANY condition. People that have high natural levels of vitamin D from the sun have less disease.” ROGAN: “I feel way better when I take vitamins and my bloodwork reflects that.”

A daily multivitamin may be one of the lowest-effort ways to make an older brain functionally younger In large randomized trials of older adults (65+), those taking a basic multivitamin (Centrum Silver) showed better overall cognition, about a 2-year reduction in global brain aging, and ~4.8 years' improvement in episodic memory (the ability to remember events and experiences) Given that ~60% of Americans are low in vitamin E, ~45–50% in magnesium, ~35% in vitamin C, and 80–90% in omega-3s (with additional gaps in vitamin K and calcium), it’s clear many brains are running on suboptimal micronutrient status For many, a basic multivitamin is a practical way to close these gaps and protect cognitive function with age

Vitamin D just got a serious upgrade. A new study found that taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily for four years significantly slowed telomere shortening — the biological countdown that accelerates aging and age-related diseases. Researchers saw clearer protection in adults 50+ compared to placebo. Omega-3s didn’t show the same effect. It’s not a miracle cure, but it adds real weight to vitamin D’s role in fighting inflammation and supporting healthier aging. Even short daily walks in daylight can help your body produce it naturally. What’s your take — are you already supplementing with vitamin D, or does this make you want to start?

Vitamin D deficiency is the most underrated factor for excessive hairfall and there is no surprise most of us will have Vitamin D deficiency because of our lifestyle. In March 2024, I took a blood test and no doubt, my Vitamin D was pathetically low. I took Vitamin D supplements (Precisely, 4 tablets) in a span of 4 months and my Vitamin D has increased significantly. Me being me, tried to do everything naturally possible from sun bathing in the morning to sun gazing. I came across a study article where it mentioned that traditionally made kumkum(turmeric + lime) will help with better Vitamin D absorption. But this little experiment of mine got me more curious to know why people wore kumkum in our culture and the science behind it. By wearing kumkum in the mid brow area, the power of intuition increased and thus increasing one's concentration. I don't have any evidence whether kum kum supported with Vitamin D absorption but I started to enjoy wearing Kumkum. I feel this little habit of mine is adding character to my personality. Why do you think people applied kumkum on their forehead. Is there a science behind this?

These are the supplements I give my aging parents: • A daily multivitamin • Vitamin D • High-DHA omega-3s • Ubiquinol (the reduced form of CoQ10) • Sulforaphane Why these? Large RCTs show improved cognition in older adults taking a standard multivitamin, with benefits equivalent to a brain that's 2-5 years younger. For vitamin D, more than 70% of older U.S. adults are insufficient, and aging skin produces far less vitamin D from sunlight (a 70-year-old makes roughly 4x less than their 20-year-old self). DHA is a key structural fat in the brain and supports cognitive function, especially important with aging and neurodegenerative risk, while CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production as levels drop with age. Finally, sulforaphane is a powerful activator of Nrf2, the body's master stress-response pathway, up-regulating glutathione and phase II detox enzymes.
