ADVICE

Take High Dose Vitamin D3 With K2

  • Take vitamin D3 with K2 to reach therapeutic blood levels rather than rely on RDA amounts.
  • Dr. Eric Berg recommends ~10,000 IU vitamin D3 daily plus 100 mcg K2 to prevent soft-tissue calcium buildup.
ANECDOTE

Dr Berg Keeps High Vitamin D For Inflammation

  • Dr. Eric Berg keeps his vitamin D blood level between ~90–100+ because of his inflammation and arthritis.
  • He says higher D reduces inflammation, improves mood, cognition, back pain, bone density, and may lower cancer risk.
ADVICE

Prefer Magnesium Glycinate For Daily Use

  • Supplement magnesium, preferably magnesium glycinate, because it's essential for ATP production and vitamin D function.
  • Dr. Eric Berg takes 250 mg four times daily and notes glycinate absorbs ~80% versus magnesium oxide ~3–4%.
