hey guys Dr Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about some uncommon facts about vitamin D okay I’m just very interested in vitamin D so I create a video on it because I just think it’s interesting maybe you might as well vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium primarily by 20 times in your small intestine so uh without vitamin D you get a certain amount of absorption but not near as much as if you had vitamin D that’s a lot of absorption going on there uh but a lot of times people don’t realize that vitamin D also increases is the absorption of iron magnesium zinc and phosphate so these other minerals so it’s pulling a lot of minerals because what it’s doing it’s mineralizing your bone and supporting the other tissues in the body with the minerals that you need okay so it’s kind of like a the dump truck that delivers the minerals to the right place okay but vitamin D has to be activated through an enzyme in your liver and in your kidney even the sun that’s coming in you don’t really get vitamin D unless it’s converted into liver and the kidney so you need the liver and kidney to convert it and make it active so that means that if there’s liver damage kidney damage fatty liver therosis of the liver you’re on kidney dialysis chances are you’re not absorbing vitamin D okay it might be building up as a toxic thing but it’s not really doing its function also vitamin D is very important in controlling your immunity to viruses especially the lung okay so if there’s a respiratory virus uh boy if you took some vitamin D that would put that thing right back in remission hopefully but yeah so controls the immunity especially in autoimmune diseases so if you have an autoimmune disorder or your immune system is attacking itself take vitamin D very important also vitamin D can turn off asthma symptoms really fast now the reason for that is that vitamin D is not really a vitamin it’s a precursor to making hormones specifically steroids specifically cortisol so basically it helps you make cortisol thereby um you know helping the the anti-inflammatory effect of your lungs because think about what is the remedy for asthma it’s steroids it’s prazone it’s an inhaler so all you’re doing is you’re just naturally getting it from vitamin D okay you’re building it back up um vitamin D is important in making strong bones if you’re deficient vitamin D your bones will be weak fragile they’ll fracture easily and they will it will bend you’ll get Bode legs you ever see people with bow legs that’s a vitamin D deficiency or even the bending of the spine some crookedness of the spine like someone’s Hunchback that’s vitamin D uh vitamin D also prevents muscular skeletal pain chronic muscle and skeletal pain so if you know people maybe your grandmother or your parents that have always have this chronic pain and their joints or their muscle they’re stiff and achy start taking vitamin D okay get a lot of sun as well so make sure when you take vitamin D you always take vitamin K2 at the same time why because vitamin K2 um helps deliver that calcium all the way into the bone because if you only take vitamin D3 and calcium which is a big mistake because what’ll happen you’ll start pulling all this calcium up into the blood and you’ll get hyper calcemia okay so now what that means is like you’re getting a lot of soft tissue calcium we need that K2 to drive it in the bone so you want a combination of things um how do you know if you have hypercalcemia increase excessive urination increase thirst insomnia nervous itching those are all symptoms of too much calcium in the wrong place and what’s interesting these are very similar to blood sugar symptoms as well like high insulin I wonder if there’s a connection right so anyway um I hope this was informative and uh uh put your comments below and thank you so much for watching hey guys thank you so much for watching please click the Subscribe button and I will see you in the next video
