Episode notes
Higher Vitamin D With K2 And Mineral Support
- For children, maintenance vitamin D doses can be higher than official RDA; consider ~5,000 IU for younger children and 10,000 IU for adults with K2 at 100 mcg per 10,000 IU D3.
- Use magnesium and trace minerals alongside zinc and monitor long-term zinc dosing to avoid copper depletion.
Keep Ferments Raw To Preserve Probiotics
- Do not cook fermented foods if you want probiotics; heat kills live microbes so consume raw sauerkraut and fermented vegetables.
- Choose unpasteurized fermented products to preserve probiotic benefits.
Replace Bile When Gallbladder Is Removed
- After gallbladder removal, consider supplemental bile salts when stools are light, floating, or you have fat-malabsorption symptoms.
- Monitor fat-soluble vitamin status (A, D, E, K) and adjust bile accordingly.
