In the "Vitamin D, Sunshine, Optimal Health: Putting it all Together" YouTube video, the speaker discusses the essential role of vitamin D in maintaining optimal health, enabling cellular responses, and preventing diseases. Vitamin D is derived from sunlight or diet and plays a crucial role in unlocking the DNA library for most transcriptions, ensuring tissue specificity. A deficiency of vitamin D hinders the functioning of all body systems. Vitamin D has a curvilinear relationship with parathyroid hormone levels, and when vitamin D levels are low, the body compensates by increasing parathyroid hormone production to elevate the active form of vitamin D. Maintaining an adequate intake of vitamin D is essential, particularly during lactation and for pregnant women, with safe intake levels being significantly higher than previously believed. Vitamin D is not effectively stored in fat until it has reached high levels in the serum, and concerns about potential toxicity are generally unfounded. The speaker emphasizes the importance of addressing nutritional needs to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D and the need for increased education in medical schools on its importance.
It is important to note that two units are used to determine vitamin D status, nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) and nanomoles per liter (nmol/l). The conversion factor is 2.5.Have some of you checked your vitamin D status, i.e. nmol/L, resently? Near the end, the late Robert P. Heaney talks about nine vitamin D scientists taking average 5500 IU per day.
John Campbell is an extremely poor source of information. I cannot over-emphasis how wrong he is about everything he covers. He is a walking logical fallacy.One of my favorite resouces, on Vit.D
Also look into Vit K2.

Sure, ok. Agree on his dive into conspiracy nut land.
From where it was discovered, and many many lectures over the years, here's an older one:

Also, VitD blood tests are 'expensive' and not part of typical annual tests - I have to argue to get them done, and only succeed every couple of years. (Medicare, presumably).

Someone recently told me that the half-life for conspiracy theories is currently 6 months. Then they become true. I'm still thinking about it.Whilst he may talk sensibly on Vit D he very soon descended into covid conspiracy when he realised that it gained him a following and increased monetary reward on YouTube,
I am a MS-patient; there is a relation between the percentage MS-patients and this map; how darker, how higher the percentage of people with MS pro 100.000 inhabitants.If you want to try your luck at achieving these vitamin d values with sunlight alone, you can use the following map as a guide. This type of map is often used to find good locations for photovoltaic systems. The values refer to a surface whose surface normal points to the sun. Cloud cover is included in this map.

Did not view the video. But I never cared about my vitamin D status and got old with a fairly good health.maybe the best lecture I've seen about vitamin d
Sad to hear that. There is also said to be a connection with cancer, diabetes, etc. depending on the solar radiation. Have you ever heard of the Coimbra-Protocol? Unfortunately, I don't know whether this is based on scientific evidence.I am a MS-patient; there is a relation between the percentage MS-patients and this map; how darker, how higher the percentage of people with MS pro 100.000 inhabitants.
I'm glad to hear that. Maybe you've always had enough vitamin D in your blood.Did not view the video. But I never cared about my vitamin D status and got old with a fairly good health.
