http://www.DrAngelaAgrios.com - Vitamin D is essential to good health, and supplementing with Vitamin D will improve immune function, increase bone health by helping calcium get into the bones, modulate inflammation and thereby help people who have an autoimmune disease, and improve mood, among other health benefits. In this video Dr. Angela Agrios, ND (A California Licensed Naturopathic Doctor) discusses:

• Vitamin D3 is the type of Vitamin D to take
• Emulsified Vitamin D3 is the most absorbent form available (she recommends "Genestra D-Mulsion 1000")
• Vitamin D comes in gel caps, capsules and as emulsified drops
• Emulsified Vitamin D is great for people who have trouble with fat absorption
• The digestive enzyme lipase can be taken as a supplement if you have trouble breaking down fats (especially if you have gull bladder issues)
• 5,000 IU is a great maintenance does of Vitamin D
• 1,000 IU is not enough for optimum wellness
• Vitamin D is fat soluble
• Take Vitamin D with oils, such as a nut butter or fish oil
• Vitamin D is anti-cancer
• Vitamin D helps to regulate our immune system
• Vitamin helps to modulate inflammation levels, so it's great for people with autoimmune problems
• Vitamin D Enhances immune function
• Vitamin D helps calcium get absorbed into the bones
• Calcium is in dark leafy greens and other vegetables, so dairy is not required as a source of calcium
• Vitamin D is an antioxidant
• Vitamin D is required for adequate levels of insulin
• Do not take more than 10,000 IU of Vitamin D without supervision
• 5,000 IU is a great amount of Vitamin D3 to take on a daily basis.

  • continued....,.with magnesium (because Vita D increases absorption of calcium right? and that you need the right ratio of mag to cal, right?), which i do have a bottle of, but it's been causing me gas so i only take one tablet a day (jigsaw).

    If there are side effects from taking Vita D, does that mean someone took too much at one time? or that it's a bad brand? I recently purchased but didn't yet open some Vita D in the D2 form but i've been scared off by another video saying

  • @SleeplessinOC You may want to visit a naturopathic doctor in your area to get a full workup and then that will give you the best possible answers.

  • hello, i hope you'll reply to my question...is there a specific brand you recommend? i don't want to consume synthetic or low quality ones and also, I am PETRIFIED of possible side effects and which ones are supposed to be normal (or at least temporary). I once bought liquid Vita D3 from costco but had some strange side effects the very first day i took it and the same the next day, so i returned it and have been scared to try brands of others. Then there is the issue of needing to supplement

  • @SleeplessinOC Dr. Agrios recommends Genestra D-Mulsion 1000

  • when you say 5000iu is that everyday?

  • @Anubisrunner08 yes. :)

  • can you recommend a place or online store that sells this drop for a good/reasonable price? The best i found was on amazon.com for around $18 for the 1000 unit 1 ounce which is too much for me to maintain on a regular basis.

  • @LarryCook333 Thank you, I was/am planning on doing that when i'm financially able to but still thought i should be doing something about my Vitamin D defeciency (which i'm certain i am) until then.

  • continued....that people who took it had terrible reactions and side effects to it. I am wanting to go vegan which is why i ordered it in the first place but now i'm terrified of possible or worse side effects than the D3 might give off. To my knowledge there is no form of vegan D3.

    Also, are shiitake or daikon mushrooms a good source of natural Vita D?

    thank you for your advice !

  • Some whistle blower doctors are coming out and saying not to take flu shots and take vitaminD3 instead.. Apparently those doctor's kids don't take flu shots or any other shots. I thought that was a dynamite info for all of us. I take D3 everyday I really recommend it to everyone.

  • @Anubisrunner08 nevermind i read your bio :D
