Do you actually have a vitamin D deficiency? 4 things you should consider

Some important indicators of vitamin D supplementation are as follows:

• According to the NIH, the upper limit is 4,000 IU [9]
• The Endocrine Society recommends 1,500-2,000 IU

• Some research says adverse effects can begin as early as 3,800 IU [10]
• Personally, I see that anything over 1,000-2,000 IU affects the mineral content of hair tissue in the following ways:
  • Increased calcium levels (calcium slows down processes in the body)
  • Decreased potassium levels

  • This significantly disrupts the mineral balance and can affect the functionality of your thyroid. A disturbed calcium-potassium ratio can look like this:
    • fatigue
    • Brain fog
    • low body temperature

    • Blood sugar problems (hypoglycemia)

    • sluggish digestion

    • sluggish thyroid

As someone who tests mineral levels using hair tissue mineral analysis on clients around the world, I observe that calcium levels increase in a dose-dependent manner depending on the use of vitamin D supplements (dose and duration depend on how elevated calcium levels are), as well as other non-vitality levels that support mineral metabolism.

Problem #4: High doses should not be taken orally

I never see high calcium levels in people who get vitamin D from the sun. These are always supplementary sources. What does that tell us?

Vitamin D from the sun and oral supplements do not work the same way in the body.

Additionally, it is very difficult to find large amounts of oral vitamin D in nature. It is almost impossible to consistently get the “supplement amounts”.

For example, one of the most important food sources of vitamin D is wild salmon. You would need to eat 1 pound of salmon every day to get about 2,384 IU of dietary vitamin D. If you tried this every day, you would put yourself at risk of mercury poisoning pretty quickly.

This occurs frequently in nature. There is no reason why it is difficult to find large amounts of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) stored in the body.

Some may think that nature is “trying to kill you,” while I believe that nature is sending a message and trying to keep you alive.

So the bigger question is: What is nature trying to tell you? Perhaps vitamin D is intended to be part of a chemical reaction that occurs on the skin and is largely not absorbed through the mouth (without the risk of long-term side effects). As I've seen in my nutritional practice, trying to trick nature with supplement after supplement never works in the long run.

Supplement wisely, and more importantly, don't forget to let your body control how much vitamin D it needs to make through adequate sun exposure (the best source of vitamin D). Remember that it is fat-soluble, so your body can store it for the dark winter months.

Next Steps

Have you been taking high doses of vitamin D without realizing the impact it can have on your mineral levels, leaving you with symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, low body temperature, blood sugar problems (hypoglycemia), sluggish digestion and sluggish thyroid? These are all signs that your calcium levels are too high and your potassium levels are too low from taking vitamin D supplements. This can be tested using hair tissue mineral analysis.

Some vitamin D is good. More is not better. It is wise to test (both storage and active forms) and think critically before taking high doses.
