hey guys, dr. axe here. i want to talk aboutthe many benefits of vitamin d as well as vitamin d deficiency. so many people are strugglingwith vitamin d deficiency. in fact, according to a lot of medical studies today, they'reshowing that quite possibly the top deficiency we have in america is a vitamin d deficiency,and for a lot of us there are several reasons for that. but let me talk about the symptomsof vitamin d deficiency. i'm then going to get into what's causing vitamin d deficiency,then go over the best foods, supplements and things you can do to correct this type ofissue. but first and foremost, the big thing thatcan cause or the big symptoms you might have with a vitamin d deficiency are immune issues.if you have a weakened immune system, that
could be correlated with a vitamin d deficiency.if you have candida or bacterial overgrowth, it can be caused from a vitamin d deficiency.if you struggle with let's say emotional ups and downs, like depression and anxiety, thatcan be a cause. hormone imbalance, major cause of vitamin d deficiency. if you have troubleputting on muscle or losing weight, those are all correlated with a vitamin d deficiency.if you have weak bones or teeth, osteoporosis or osteopenia, those are warning signs youhave a vitamin d deficiency. so again, you can see there are a lot of things-- and i didn't even get into certain other things like cancer and diabetes and heartdisease -- but those are all warning signs you could have a vitamin d deficiency.
vitamin d is responsible for really supportinga healthy immune response, digestive health, hormone balance, and here's a key thing toremember. vitamin d is not just a vitamin. it's also a pro hormone. so it's responsiblefor so many hormone producing reactions within your body. you've got to have vitamin d. now here are the biggest causes of vitamind deficiency. number one is not getting enough sunlight. the sun should be your number onesource of vitamin d. we live in a world today where we live inside, especially if you'rein the northern states, whether it be in canada or northern us or northern europe. but ifyou are not getting outside enough and not getting enough direct sunlight on your skin,that will create a vitamin d deficiency. so
starting off, the majority of people are vitamind deficient because we don't get outside enough. and the other thing can be certain chemicals,especially things that are plastic in nature, those can block vitamin d absorption. so ifyou're drinking out of plastic bottles that have something called bpa, that's bisphenola, that can cause vitamin d deficiency and really affect the way vitamin d is absorbedand utilized and created by your liver in your body. the other thing is toxicity. if you're exposedto toxins on a regular basis, that affects the liver. your liver is actually responsiblefor producing and creating vitamin d within your body. so again, toxicity another majorcause of vitamin d deficiency.
so if you want to start to correct vitamind deficiency and see improvements in your immune function, in your metabolism, in yourhormones and things like your thyroid and your adrenal glands and improving your overallmood and bone strength, you've got to get more vitamin d. again, your number one source by far is sunlight.i recommend getting outside 20 minutes to 30 minutes every single day. even if it'scold outside, getting a little bit of sun on your face and hands, it's so importantfor getting vitamin d. so again, number one is get sunlight 20 to 30 minutes a day. now, apart from that, certain foods will containsmall amounts of vitamin d. number one source
will be wild caught salmon or fish, so againgetting wild caught fish on a regular basis. also, raw fermented milk, like a goat's milkyogurt, may have small amounts of vitamin d, as will mushrooms and eggs. but again,you're going to get very small amount in diet. those foods are good. but again, it's onlysmall amounts of vitamin d. then the next thing would be take a high qualityvitamin d supplement. you don't want to take vitamin d2. you do want to start taking vitamind3, and there are many forms of this. there are several good brands out there today. butagain, you can actually take it in a capsule form. you can actually get it in a spray bottleform. but again, vitamin d is essential to take as a supplement. for most adults, 2000to 5000 ius a day is what's recommended.
now if you have a severe deficiency and you'vegone and got a vitamin d test done, in that case for 1 to 2 months, you might take 5000ius 2 times a day. but again, for the days that you're not in the sun, i recommend 2000to 5000 ius of vitamin d3 daily. here's one last important thing to remember.when you are supplementing with vitamin d3, you want to take it with some fat becauseit's a fat soluble vitamin. so take it with a teaspoon of coconut oil or take it witha fish oil supplement. but when you are taking vitamin d, you want to take it with some healthyfat like coconut, avocado, or an almond butter. you'll want to get it with some healthy fatbecause it actually improves and increases absorption there as well. so again, make sureyou're getting your vitamin d. it is crucial
for immune function, bone health, emotionalhealth, and balanced hormones. so again, remember vitamin d, it's not onlya vitamin. it's a hormone. it's an immune boosting nutrient that you've got to have.hey, if you've enjoyed this video, make sure you subscribe to our other youtube videoson our youtube video page as well as our newsletter here on draxe.com. we've got some great informationcoming out as well on other vitamins and nutrients that can help take your health to the nextlevel.
