I can see where this is a real problem and alot of it stems from your own MD testing. They’ve gotten on the band wagon about ‘low’ D but have no clue that you need sufficient magnesium in order to get your D levels up. I’ve known alot of people that keep increasing and increasing because they test low but they don’t supplement with mag (and certainly not the right form) and so they stay perennially low.
Same applies to calcium; your joints, tissues and organs will calcify if you’re low in mag.
Ya. Take the vaccine instead because one guy can’t read directions on a vitamin bottle. Because no doctor will advise on how to properly prevent Covid
Geeze why.
I think the problem is more simple. People take too much vitamin d. Reading the experiments, I concluded that the ideal blood level is 32 ng/ml, but people want to take supplements to get to 50 ng/ml.
Yeah, popping 20 pills a day of anything is a bad idea.
“This case report further highlights the potential toxicity of supplements that are largely considered safe until taken in unsafe amounts or in unsafe combinations,”
That’s true of just about everything that is largely considered safe; isn’t it? Even water and oxygen have to be consumed in moderation.
I take both D3 and Magnesium and potassium................
If you want to exceed RDA for a vitamin, do B or C.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
So does Vitamin D3. Big time!
I’m confident you’re wrong about vitamin k.
The idiot took 83X the RDA of Vitamin D.
Drinking 83X the amount of water you need will kill you, too.
5,000iu is just right.
Drinking parsley juice helps with excess vitamin d.
I've been doing just fine with 2,000 IU of Vitamin D - have taken it daily for 20 years. I also get lots of sunshine and eat plenty of eggs and fatty fish.
There are people who always have to overdo a good thing. I know people who spend a couple hundred dollars a month on all sorts of vitamins and gimmicky supplements.
If you eat well and get some exercise, all you really need for supplements is Vitamin D, C and Zinc.
i think he is a Dr but here you go

“...supplements every day containing: vitamin D 50,000 mg—the daily requirement is 600 mg or 400 IU...”
The writer apparently didn’t check units of vitamin D at all. 1 microgram is 40 IU, so 50,000 milligrams would be two billion IU. 600 milligrams would be 24 million IU, not 400. Those are pretty high doses indeed.
What Is the right form of
Magnesium to allow Vitamin D3 to work?
My Doc recently added D3
To my regiment.
No Magnesium.
I take 1000 IU’s per day.........................
I’ve been doing just fine with 2,000 IU of Vitamin D - have taken it daily for 20 years.

I bet your body deactivates a lot of the vitamin d you take. Having taking it for so long, I bet you have stored enough to not need to take it for years.
avoid oxide at all costs. the best forms are glycinate, malate and taurate. some people like citrate but that is in the middle of the pack re; absorbability.
there are a couple of mag brands that combine all 3 of the good ones. One is DaVinci. One capsule is 75mg and I take 3 caps of that 3-4 x per day.
