so i get this question a lot how much vitamin  d should we be taking on a daily basis well i think we should probably go to the experts right  the vitamin d council stated that healthy adults which i’m still trying to find some healthy adults  need about 2000 ius that’s international units okay per day if you’re getting little to  no sun other experts recommend 400 to 800 ius per day now here’s the problem that i need  your help with okay i just don’t understand this when we take vitamin d it’s in these units right  here international units but when they measure the blood it’s not in international  units it’s in ngs per milliliter okay so if you’re deficient in your blood how do  we know how much vitamin d to take because the units and supplements are ius okay so it’s kind  of weird i it’s i don’t know why they do that but if we take a look at the optimum concentration  in your blood of vitamin d it should be between 40 to 60 ngs per milliliter okay  so if you had 20 ngs per milliliter that would be considered low right well let’s  convert 20 ngs per milliliter to international units per milliliter it would be 0. 8 pretty small  but the question is how much blood do we have because this is per milliliter not all of your  blood so we have about five liters of blood in the average size person and that would give us if  we do the math four thousand international units okay vitamin d so people that are deficient  that have only 20 ngs per milliliter really have about 4000 international units  of vitamin d which is actually greater than what is recommended there’s some conflicting  information here isn’t there all right so just keep tracking with me here because if we take  the optimum concentration which is 40 to 60 okay how much vitamin d is this in international units well if you do the calculations it’s 8000 to  9000 ius that’s what’s normal in your blood so how are we going to get this if we’re only  recommending this or that that’s what i just don’t understand it doesn’t make sense to me  and on top of that i don’t think you’re going to absorb 100% of your supplements estimates show that  you really only absorb between 60 to 80 percent that’s in a healthy person of these vitamin  d supplements when you take them if you’re taking d3 not and so if we’re only absorbing 60  to 80 percent and you took let’s say 10,000 ius in one day you’re really only absorbing 6000  to 8000 international units of vitamin d3 which just barely make the normal amount  that you need in your blood so there’s a big problem here because these recommendations  do not match what we really need to normalize our blood values and then on top of  that if you’re taking these amounts and you have a deficiency or you  have other problems like inflammation or you don’t have a gallbladder or you have gut  damage from past antibiotics or you’re older or you have insulin resistance or you are obese there  are so many barriers that are going to prevent you from absorbing this vitamin d anyway what i would  recommend for the average person is to take at least at least 10,000 ius every single day and on  top of that get some sun if you can just to meet the minimum requirements that your body needs and  another point i want to bring up is that vitamin d is the most important vitamin because it’s so  important for your immune system to maintain a healthy mood to keep inflammation out of your body  and not to mention your bone structure your teeth so it’s no wonder why the great majority of the  population is deficient in vitamin d so if you’re enjoying my content which i hope you are and  you’re applying this knowledge to your health and you have a success i would really appreciate  you sharing your success story so click the link down below to my website where you can upload  your success story so you can help inspire others
