Vitamin D3 is NOT - Quote "Also known as D2" D2 and D3 are different substances. D2 is plant produced while D3 is animal produced. We need D3 NOT D2 - BIG DIFFERENCE
My dr. Gave me a prescription of vitamin D. My D level was just 3! Yep 3 it should be I believe 60-70 so Your saying I should not take this prescription vitamin D? I didn't for years!! I tried going out in the sun and I drank a lot of milk, got tested again i& my level only went to a 4. I now suffer from severe deforming arthritis in both feet, I have it in my knees, I just been told I have degenerative eye disease. I got the arthritis when I was just 29! Now 43! In pain everyday! I wish I wou
I was on drugs and not I take vitamins instead. I know for a fact that vitamins are not drugs and they are most certainly not toxic. I dont know who you work for but you dont know what your talking about.
Again, another informative video, nice to have no insults. Wish I would have found this video prior to the thyroid one which pissed me off lol.

I was at a normal size during my pregnancy. Then lost a bunch of weigh within weeks of of their birth--down to a size 6. BOOM! Weight gain galore in a year. Trying to find natural answers w/meds
What do you think of taking cod liver oil as a supplement. Is there any difference between taking it in liquid from bottle form, or in pill form. and if taking in liquid form, how the heck do you do it without throwing up from the smell.
Let's see. Average cost of a bottle of Vitamin D? Eight bucks. Average cost of a bottle of psych meds for clinical depression CAUSED by a vitamin D deficiency left untreated? TWO THOUSAND BUCKS. The scam is You would have to eat FIVE TIMES what your grandparents did to get the SAME nutrition cuz our crop lands are so OVER FARMED. How is THAT for a scam? Someone is getting rich when you get SICK and it ain't the vitamin industry...I'll let you think about it...
does todays fish oils contain corexit from the bp disaster? probably . How about Fucashima juice that is still leaking into our oceans. and screwing with the plankton that the fish eat to produce the vitamin d. why such a push for fish oil when the oceans are loaded with neurotoxins and radio active material. Why push that crap on us. we know what has happened to our oceans in the past two years. I guess you still work for the Pharmaceutical Cartel.

I did some investigating and i agree with Shane, Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil would be the best bet if one doesn't get enough sunlight. It's healthy and safe at normal dosages.
@ThePeoplesChemist My mom was taking synthetic vitamin D3 and was complaining of heat and burning sensation in her feet. We got rid of it and now she doesn't have that sensation anymore. You're right about synthetic Vitamin D3 being toxic.
Vitamin A is also bad in large amounts, I never take A. I just started taking D3, and I'm glad I saw this. The problem is, is that it's hard to find foods that aren't modified anymore, and natural foods are no longer natural and are sucked of nutrients. What do I do about this because it's hard to find organic that is not expensive.
So are saying that anything synthetic is bad for you? Even the most staunch Vitamin D advocate says that sunlight and liver oils are the best way to get it. I've read alot of people saying things about calcification but know one ever says the amount needed to cause that kind of damage. I want some research proving that x amount of synthetic D-3 causes calcification vs natural D-3 that doesn't.
Ok, I saw this Nordical Naturals product. But cod is by no way natural because their livers are concentrated with toxins like mercury and others. The sun is by far the most natural source of vit D.
at the very least, vitamin pills and supplements such as calcium and iron in general are way overhyped and overrated; good video; very few people in america lack most of the otc junk they take daily with a smile on their face
Vit D deficiency both in utero and in vivo predisposes to a wealth of diseases later in life. The truth about vit D deficiency is only just emerging. I say that in 10 years people will watch your video a snigger at your ignorance.
Wow, I don't usually make comments on what I see here on youtube, but this quazi "scientist" has obviously self selected only a handful of studies on vitamin D and then badly misinterpreted them. Vitamin D plays a role in influencing over 200 genes in the body, and has 2,776 binding sites for the vitamin D receptor along the length of the genome with an unusually high concentration of sites clustered near a number of genes with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.
@mrdwinfield Only a "quazi" man would ridicule someone while hiding behind his YouTube acct. Nice. And great job parroting what you "researched" on google. What does the number of binding sites have to do with ingesting synthetic (man-made) vitamin D?
@ThePeoplesChemist I'm sorry if my comments caused you any offence, that wasn't my intention. Anyway, I'm not hiding behind my youtube account. My screen name is actually my real name (Mr D Winfield). A search for my details will probably reveal my home address and phone number somewhere on the web. Also, these are not facts I have found on the internet. I am currently doing my Masters Thesis on the role vitamin D plays in the human body. Trust me, I am well qualified to make these statements.
@mrdwinfield You should GET your masters degree, then publish your work before you debate in public. I did, which means I past the finish line and you're still trying to tie your shoes. Further, ANYONE doing a true, critical thesis on "synthetic vitamin D" would would have come across its early use as a poison and see the toxicology staring them in the face. Hmmm...Plenty of "smart" people miss the obvious.
@ThePeoplesChemist when you got your degree how many Pharmacrap representatives where trying to court you and how much money was stuffed in your pockets. We know once in medical college they start their brainwashing campaign. I have to be very suspicious of anyone who used to work for that cartel. you may be correct in your assessment of synthesized vitamin D. But I still cant trust anyone the pharmaceutical companies have courted and influenced.
@ThePeoplesChemist What exactly the molecular difference between synthetic and natural vitamin D? A lot of drugs are exact replicas of natural compounds? what is the difference? Many drugs are first made from natural sources then made synthetically for cost... please explain... i am sick of terms 'synthetic' and 'organic' used in the wrong terms to create bad connotations
@mrdwinfield I agree, this information is ridiculous, do your own research, get yourself tested, it's a simple blood test. I won't be throwing away any vitamin D anytime soon but I would definitely label this video as trash...
@XIronCross Those study include extremes amount of synthetic D-3 that even most D-3 advocates wouldn't recommend. Exposing those lab rats to extremes amount of natural UVB would cause them a good amount of damage as well.
@mujaku Both forms are potent, however the D3 type is made in the skin from exposure to sunlight UV rays, then it is converted in the liver to the active form you mentioned. That being said, I believe the active form is more potent than D3.
I forgot to say: This guy CLAIMS turmeric cures cancer. HE is the LAUGHABLE dumbass - to anyone who understands genuine science.The trademark of a scammer is that they are 100 % certain. Urgelt did a GREAT video on fraudulent cancer cure claims here watch?v=Ec72CMCbCuQ
That's right , Shane the Scammer Ellison. I am going to EXPOSE YOU!
@Razwell I don't know much about turmeric but who knows, a lot of things "can" help cure cancer but it depends on what is going on in the body at the time. Vitamin D3 can help prevent cancer but its not a cure-all cancer cure and I would doubt turmeric is either. I had to laugh at this video because I know "some" mineral suplements come in certain forms, like calcium from calcium carbonate or something. But Cholecalciferol IS Cholecalciferon no matter how or who made it. Its chemistry.
Anthony Colpo is a scamming FRAUD. Prove YOU are not a scamming fraud and really a pharmacist. What is the maximum dose of intravenous dilaudid at a single time?
@Razwell If this dude is a chemist, I'm a Vegan... (I am a meat eater..). Judging by his responses, he is just another average intelligence person with a blog and a youtube channel who puts up content to make money. Clearly by his responses he pays no attention to what he is typing or how it could negatively impact peoples opinion about himself. If you went to your doctor and they called you a dumb ass, told you dont quit your day job.. would you respect their opinions?
The Internet is filled with these self - serving Internet charlatans. Urgelt taught me back in 2007 to be very, very cautious and skeptical of the scammers.
And all these unprofessional charlatans link to each others' sites etc.
@Razwell Yeah, I mean I hate to be someone who is pointing the finger, but the way he communicates on here on his own video is a dead give away as to what kind of person he is. I would like to think that people like this would do research instead of finding one FACT out that "Some vitamins/minerals come in forms which are not good for you" and then generalizing it out to meaning EVERYthing synthetic is bad for you. Then to add insult to injury, his comments.. All together unnecessary.
Vitamin D3 is a specific chemical structure which is called Cholecalciferol or D3 for short. Our body makes the stuff, so do lab techniques. If they were making some kind of chelate or some other kind of form claiming to turn into D3 then you would be right. However the fact is these D3 supplements ARE in fact Cholecalciferol which means its atomic structure is identical no matter how it was made. If you want people's respect and trust at least comment professionally with respect on your videos
Dumb ass? Very professional. Hydrochloric acid is the same no matter where it is made. So it is ok to siphen off acid from your stomach and then drink it, because it is yours?... Lol. See how many dislikes you are getting? Perhaps you should rethink both your opinions and your attitude.
Got to love unsubstantiated reframing on behalf of promotion. Synthetic you say? Because it is "fake" it is bad? Chemistry is where you combine elements and create something else. You take this element, mix it with that element, add some heat and BOOM you have water. Is that "fake" water going to poison you because it was created by peoples external actions?
Vitamin D3 is a specific structure of elements that make it what it is. If your body makes it or a lab makes it, it is what it is.. Duh
@techwg Don't quit your day job, if you have one. Your stomach makes hydrochloric acid, try drinking that, after it's made in a lab. Go to college, dumb ass.
@ThePeoplesChemist also, Vitamin D is still Vitamin D whether it is made in a lab or by the liver/ kidneys it will be the same Calcitriol either way, and it most certainly wouldn't be toxic thanks to a very strict test protocol. Finally you should feel bad for exploiting peoples ignorance to the subject to flog a "natural" product when it wouldn't make any difference.
@ThePeoplesChemist You need to be sure of your facts anything closer to nature is best and since grew up taking codliver oil I am going to agree they guy on the video I have tried synthetic the result is not the same Just an opinion. A lot of dumb folks attend college so there are many successfull people without a college degree. I appreciate the guys video as he is trying to bring awareness
Shane you should test a fermented cod liver oil called "Blue Ice". It has high natural vitamin D3. Nordic Naturals is good, but the D3 in it is in micro-grams. Too low.
@wjestick actually if you live somewhere that has a responsible tanning studio that uses tanning lamps that have a moderate UV index of 5% UVB then you can synthesize sufficient levels of vit. D You don't need to have a tan to get it. And contrary to what BIG PHARMA wants you to believe, tanning beds emit the same photons as the sun...so they're not cancer beds :)
@fetishisticrose You probably answered your own question. One sure way to squash any truth is to get the government involved. Big pharma and FDA and Congress are all in collusion because of the billions of dollars generated. Not all medicine is bad but when it comes to anti-depressants, Vitamins, Cholesterol drugs, heart burn meds, sleeping aids, it is very bad news. Google side effects of anti-depressants and go to the blogs by the actual patients themselves. Stay away from pharmaceutical sites
@Glamrma I'm talking about supplements...vitamins. You can read the label all you want...my original point was that none of them are regulated or checked for their contents.
@fetishisticrose Yeah they're not checked for their contents extensively but rest assured they are A MILLION TIMES safer than TOXIC pharmaceutical drugs.
I'm so glad I found your channel! Amen to what you are saying, I am totally in agreement with your views on supplements that are being sold as 'natural' and are actually really drugs...thank you for doing this! And also, you are HOT! :D
Great job Shane! Ad hominem attacks are emblematic of a dumbed down culture. I see them as a sign that the person who is being attacked has somethng relevent to share. Keep it up because when a person like you prevails their's no other way of dealing better with the author of insidious comments than suffering while they watch a person like you being successful. I wish you the BEST!
Grateful that I found your book every day. Have sent/given five copies to other people so far (more are going out for Christmas). Just YESTERDAY I was at the neurologist's office - vitamin D is very low - wants me to take D3. I was kind of laughing in my head thinking "sorry, ain't happenin', but I will order and take natural cod liver oil". Thanks, Shane!
The correct part of this is that sun exposure is in moderation beneficial in providing the chemicals that the skin transforms in the body to Vitamin D - in the absence of adequate amounts of D3; If I hadn't started on Vitamin D3 supplements -constructed from choleciferol -(safe and pure form), I would have been dead by now. That's no joke.
Shane, i think the amount of Vitamin D in Nordic Naturals Cod Liver Oil is very very low. So low it doesn't have a therapeutic effect. It's been so refined that the Vitamin D has been almost eliminated. Did you test this? and if so what other Cod Liver Oils have you tested that have a high therapeutic amount of Vitamin D?. Correct me if i'm wrong Shane.
This is non-sense! Vitamin D3 is NOT the same as D2 and is not toxic like D2. Stop comparing them as if they are the same putting for bad info. Also the nordic naturals crap gave me allergies due to additives they put in their fish oil products.
UVB turns the 7-Dehydrocholesterol in sheep lanolin into the same D3 as it does in our skin. It's the same thing but instead of the sheep getting it during grooming, we're stealing and eating it. :)
@ThePeoplesChemist sitting in the sun is not an option for everybody. Today is (well was) the last day until April or so that you can make any vitamin D in the sun in my country. Until April the UV-Index will be lower than 3 around here. Also most people work indoors and can't stay outside around noon in their bathing clothes for 15 minutes during the the part of the year that there is proper sun.
@TickleMehNancy "Most likely." Is that your professional opinion? "Most likely," doesn't cut it for me when it comes to living longer. As a I chemist, I'd rather use state of the art testing methods, which I did.
@ThePeoplesChemist So d3 is not the same as natural vitamin d in cod liver oil? Also, supposedly you shouldn't take cod liver for vitamin d because it also contains vitamin a and both compete for the same receptor sites
@ThePeoplesChemist "Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is produced by ultraviolet irradiation (UV) of its precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol. This molecule occurs naturally in the skin of animals and in milk. Vitamin D3 can be made by exposure of the skin to UV, or by exposing milk directly to UV (one commercial method)."
There currently at the NIH database over 6,000 abstracts on Vit D many on Cancer.
Thirty minute exposure to sunlight produces 10,000+i.u. of Vitamin D. Toxicity has occurred@77,000 IU per day. Acute overdose requires between 600,000 IU per day) and 1,680,000 IU per dayover a period of several days to months,. Safe intake level being 10,000 IU per day. "Risk assessment for vitamin D". Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 85 (1): 6–18
HOGWASH! Vitamin D3 is NOT synthetic, Vitamin d2 ergociferol is. Vtiamin D3 Choleciferol is extracted from the fatty oils of animals such as lanolin from lambs wool. Yes codliver oil is a great source of D3 from fish OILS it's the same thing, choleciferol. You need to read a few more books buddy.
@MOTS411 The two are not analogous. It's chemistry 101. Nature, along with your skin produces the secosteroid family in isomers. The famed Weston Price showed this decades ago, and HPLC as well as NMR prove it true today. Vitamin D pills are poison. Put down the comic books.
@MOTS411 Books - comics - vids. There is only one test - does it work for you! Sunbathing makes me feel great - Taking vit D makes me feel quite ill. All the proof I need - books etc be damned!
in point of fact vitamin D2 is NOT the same chemically as D3. A very crucial fact. secondly vitamin D2 is dangerous because of what it is, how it is made and how it breaks down in the body. if you were only talking about D2 your video would be valid. D3 is a different thing altogether. Your information is misleading if you do not explain this. If you are truly a chemist i am surprised you would not explain this. differencebetween. net/science/difference-between-vitamin-d-and-vitamin-d3/
How can I get it without harming animals? Seems to me there should be a peaceful way to get the D - I have done the sun with the amount I have each day and when it is actually sunny out and my levels were still at 10. Please let me know if you have any animal friendly alternatives to taking a supplement. My sun exposure is at 20 minutes per day at the moment, and again, if it is sunny outside... so not every day. I'm also very fair skinned/haired/eyed. Thanks!
Why don''t they make such a convincing video about the long term toxicity of made in the lab chemical food supplements? The majority of the people eat that stuff on a dayly basis whitout even realizing it. But aren't these toxic as well??
This is just a misleading marketing video, and I wonder how much he gets paid for doing it...
The thing he talks about, the rat poison, while true that ergo & cholecalciferol are used as poison that has nothing to do with usefulness of normal vitamin D3 doses. Vitamins E, K, and A are all toxic when used too much. Too much water is toxic.
The Peoples Chemist didn't offer any proof of his claims - no scientific studies, wrong conclusion about Vitamin D profits (you can get 5000IU/day for entire year for less then 10$)
Can anybody lead me to A study (or a few) that shows the danger or downsides to ingesting Vitamin D3 supplemental tablets? I have been taking 10,000 IU every day for a month now, and I must say my SAD (season affective disorder - depression) has pretty much subsided entirely. I feel amazing now, but I worry about dangers of too much Vit D in my system. Please help
@bengalslash Besides the fact that I was interested in this for my personal benefit and not as a formal scientific undertaking to be presented to a group, your assertion that anecdotal evidence is useless in all cases (as your rhetoric suggests) is quite simply not true. It is useful in many situations with researchers by suggesting they are on the right path, or to suggest a possible insight or breakthrough. All real scientific "facts" were first birthed by nothing more than anecdotal evidence.
@jgizzy of course you could say that, but I think that can be categorized as more intuition, rather than anecdotes, and of course post hoc ergo propter hoc. Quite plainly, you cannot use anecdotal evidence to support a hypothesis from a few people. It's not called a double blind, placebo controlled study for nothing. There's too much of a bias in what we remember or perceive. The only evidence that can be drawn up to be true is objective evidence.
Shane is correct! His only agenda is to properly educated people and help save lives. Get your Vitamin D through sunshine and wholefoods and your body will thank you for doing so. Say no to D2 and D3 synthetic garbage that will cause calcification. I'll be damned if I am going to turn to rock!!
@cabolynn Shane is not correct. However, some push vitamin D without also pushing magnesium. And since some are deficient even before starting on vitamin D, and magnesium (and K2 and zinc) are necessary for vitamin D to do its job in the body, some get in trouble because they don't get enough magnesium. At that point, you could theoretically get excess of calcium. But that'll happen even with sun exposure.
Cod Liver oil usually has performed retinol. And vitamin a overdose is very serious, the body has no good mechanism to get rid of excess Vitamin A.
There is much research on Vitamin D that can be googled on the internet or found on vitamin d council.
Basically you are wrong about this.
Many are short of Vitamin D from unnecessary sun scaring. Lattitude issues - Most Canadians are Vitamin D deficient. When you normalize Vitamin D you drastically reduce your chances of Cancer, like breast
@mikepolsky You're right. However, some get into trouble because they're magnesium deficient. You need to make sure you get enough magnesium when taking vitamin D. I take about 700mg per day, for instance, and I could probably tolerate more, but not much less. Magnesium has a laxative effect, unless you get a good quality one, so be aware of that.
@organized4ann Vitamin D council...is that like the FDA?...Yea, I really trust government agencies that have studies paid for by the food industry and big pharmacy...I don't think so.
@organized4ann OK..so I need to start taking pharmaceutical vitamin D suppliments before I get my vitamin D levels tested...sounds like big Pharmacy has it's hands in this agency already..enough of that site.
@cotaman08 There's no patent on the manufacture of D3, There are lots of manufacturers. Most scientists recommend some brand, but they tend to recommend different ones. And the reason they do that, is because they need reliable dosages, and in VDC's case, they receive some funding from those they recommend. Some costco or wallmart brands contain less D3 than the labels say. Quality of fillers and oils also vary.
@organized4ann So it seems to me that the scientists that recommend D3 suppliments are being reimbursed by the company the manufactures the brand that they endorse..am I right? Just like the FDA!!
@cotaman08 In the case of the VDC, it's a non-profit organization that promotes vitamin D. Any kind of vitamin D. But some companies donate to them, and get mentions on their page. It's a symbiotic relationship. But the VDC exists at all because most people don't get enough vitamin D because governments in multiple countries set RDA too low.
@organized4ann The deficiency also exists because people are also scared into putting layer after layer of cancerous sunblock on their skin before they go out into the sun.
@cotaman08 Of course, first they sell you sunscreen which prevents your skin from forming vitamin D, which, of course, in time makes you eligible for expensive chemotherapy. For them it's a win-win situation.
I'm getting older so I take calcium supplements to ward off osteoporosis and have been told calcium isn't absorbed correctly without vitamin D. I notice the majority of calcium supplements have vitamin D now. What do you recommend as an alternative way to get my calcium?

@ThePeoplesChemist when you got your degree how many Pharmacrap representatives where trying to court you and how much money was stuffed in your pockets. We know once in medical college they start their brainwashing campaign. I have to be very suspicious of anyone who used to work for that cartel. you may be correct in your assessment of synthesized vitamin D. But I still cant trust anyone the pharmaceutical companies have courted and influenced.

@ThePeoplesChemist What exactly the molecular difference between synthetic and natural vitamin D? A lot of drugs are exact replicas of natural compounds? what is the difference? Many drugs are first made from natural sources then made synthetically for cost... please explain... i am sick of terms 'synthetic' and 'organic' used in the wrong terms to create bad connotations

@mujaku Both forms are potent, however the D3 type is made in the skin from exposure to sunlight UV rays, then it is converted in the liver to the active form you mentioned. That being said, I believe the active form is more potent than D3.

Vitamin D3 is a specific chemical structure which is called Cholecalciferol or D3 for short. Our body makes the stuff, so do lab techniques. If they were making some kind of chelate or some other kind of form claiming to turn into D3 then you would be right. However the fact is these D3 supplements ARE in fact Cholecalciferol which means its atomic structure is identical no matter how it was made. If you want people's respect and trust at least comment professionally with respect on your videos

@bengalslash Besides the fact that I was interested in this for my personal benefit and not as a formal scientific undertaking to be presented to a group, your assertion that anecdotal evidence is useless in all cases (as your rhetoric suggests) is quite simply not true. It is useful in many situations with researchers by suggesting they are on the right path, or to suggest a possible insight or breakthrough. All real scientific "facts" were first birthed by nothing more than anecdotal evidence.
jgizzy 11 months ago
@jgizzy of course you could say that, but I think that can be categorized as more intuition, rather than anecdotes, and of course post hoc ergo propter hoc. Quite plainly, you cannot use anecdotal evidence to support a hypothesis from a few people. It's not called a double blind, placebo controlled study for nothing. There's too much of a bias in what we remember or perceive. The only evidence that can be drawn up to be true is objective evidence.

cabolynn 1 year ago 5
@cabolynn Shane is not correct. However, some push vitamin D without also pushing magnesium. And since some are deficient even before starting on vitamin D, and magnesium (and K2 and zinc) are necessary for vitamin D to do its job in the body, some get in trouble because they don't get enough magnesium. At that point, you could theoretically get excess of calcium. But that'll happen even with sun exposure.
organized4ann 1 year ago
Cod Liver oil usually has performed retinol. And vitamin a overdose is very serious, the body has no good mechanism to get rid of excess Vitamin A.
There is much research on Vitamin D that can be googled on the internet or found on vitamin d council.
Basically you are wrong about this.
Many are short of Vitamin D from unnecessary sun scaring. Lattitude issues - Most Canadians are Vitamin D deficient. When you normalize Vitamin D you drastically reduce your chances of Cancer, like breast
mikepolsky 1 year ago
@mikepolsky You're right. However, some get into trouble because they're magnesium deficient. You need to make sure you get enough magnesium when taking vitamin D. I take about 700mg per day, for instance, and I could probably tolerate more, but not much less. Magnesium has a laxative effect, unless you get a good quality one, so be aware of that.

@cotaman08 There's no patent on the manufacture of D3, There are lots of manufacturers. Most scientists recommend some brand, but they tend to recommend different ones.

Some costco or wallmart brands contain less D3 than the labels say. Quality of fillers and oils also vary.
