Video Transcript - Vitamin D3 - NoBrainer

Hi, I’m Jay Mattingly, MD.

This initial health strategy that I’m launching from MattinglyMD.com is unusual in that seldom do we have the opportunity to do something for our health that takes so little effort, so little time, costs less than twenty cents a day and has such unbelievable health benefits with very little risk.

 Vitamin D3 is that super-strategy.

Because we’re living in the 21^st century with caveman genetic engineering – we don’t get the sunlight and the resultant Vitamin D we need.

The long and the short of it is . . . taking one small pill a day – 5000 units of Vitamin D3 will lower blood pressure, help prevent cancer, build bone, reduce back pain, lower our blood sugar, make us more resistant to auto-immune disease, make us less likely to have a heart attack; it will help elders keep from falling – it even makes our brain work faster.   

And what is everyone worried about these days – the flu ?  Vitamin D muscles up the cells in our immune system increasing our ability to ward off all infections.

Is there a downside to taking Vitamin D ? 

The downside risk is very very small but important if you have tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or any other granulomatous disease.  In those instances, Vitamin D could raise your calcium level.  But it’s estimated that here in the United States that far less than 1% of us could be affected.

In a perfect world, we all would get a serum level of Vitamin D and then begin supplementing, shooting for a level of 50 to 80ng/ml all the while monitoring serum calcium levels.  Everyone’s body responds differently to vitamins, supplements, in fact all medications.  I’ve seen that time and time again as an anesthesiologist injecting thousands of patients with various drugs.

But the beauty of Vitamin D3 is that in over a dozen studies no toxicity has been demonstrated in doses of less than 30,000 units/day.

I’m hoping you do get a blood level.  In fact, at the resource I’m suggesting, a blood test kit is available.  But in the meantime because it’s so safe and there’s so much benefit, I’m recommending you take 5,000 units/day.

I know Life Extension Foundation (LEF.ORG) is a safe solid source.  You can get Vitamin D3 cheaper elsewhere but here you’ve got guaranteed bioavailability and you won’t have to worry about contamination.  In addition you get the added benefits of thyroid-boosting iodine and atherosclerosis-sparing, bone-building Vitamin K2.

Everybody knows about Vitamin D building bone.  That’s why they put it in milk, don’t they ?  Actually there’s only 200 units of Vitamin D in 8 ounces of milk.

Most multi-vitamins only have from 400 to 800 units of Vitamin D.  Even the Calcium supplements with Vitamin D only have 4 to 500 units.

Although everybody needs differing amounts of Vitamin D, in North America you probably need AT LEAST 4-5000 units a day to even begin to creep up to that lower range of 50ng/ML that’s now recommended as the minimum to get the best part of the benefits I’ve mentioned above.

It’s difficult to imagine why you wouldn’t want to give yourself this gift of Better Health and More Energy.

Vitamin D3 – It’s a No-Brainer.
