For a time, I was taking 3,000-5,000 vit D in the evening after supper but found myself repeatedly waking up around 2 am, unable to immediately fall back asleep. Eventually, I connected the two and changed to taking vit D after noon-hour breakfast. Immediately, my sleep improved. Lesson learned: DON'T take vit D in the evening!

Interesting. I take 5000 IU a day after breakfast (around seven am) but I still wake up at any-time between midnight and three am most nights and don't get back to sleep until the next night. But I'm retired so being awake half the night is not a big problem for me.

@@ETBrooD I had them checked some months ago. My doctor was alarmed. I was not. There is known kidney damage associated with very high levels of vitamin D, very high being 600,000 IU daily, I'm taking less than 1% of that. I can't get my head around how that much was administered. Where I live the recommended upper limit is 1000 IU so I'm even further in excess of that than the 4000 IU you suggest. Time will tell just how dangerous taking 5000 IU daily will prove to be in my case so if nothing else I'll help to establish just what the safe maximum dose might be. Thank you for your concern.

When I watch your videos my lost trust in society is forgotten and I realise there are humans like you out there who are true heroes and who are here to help us im so grateful to you doc thank you!

Thank you for this. I’ve always taken vitamin D in the morning with breakfast, because our bodies are designed to get vitamin D from the sun. Now you’ve confirmed my intuition.

Answer: Take Vitamin D with a fatty meal in the morning so it won't affect melatonin production and interfere with sleep. Vitamin D is fat soluble. Take D3 2000 IU per day

@@mrhassanali3297 - Always take Vit-D with a meal (right after) in the AM. If you don't, it won't be properly absorbed. Vit-D taken on an empty stomach will have NO affect on reaching your goal of having the proper amount of Vit-D in your system. I take 10,000 IU's a day at least 5 times a week. So that's 50,000 IU's per week. But you must take Vit-K2 with it, along with magnesium. I also take MSM (Sulfur) with it as well. Took me 8 months of doing it this way to achieve my goal of having the proper amount of Vit-D in my system. And not having the proper amount of Vit-D in my system (body) is more than likely what caused me to catch that dreaded Covid-19 to begin with.

Remember to add Vit K. Vit D helps with absorbing Calcium, but K tells where to to deposit it. W/o Vit K, Calcium may be deposited in the soft tissues instead of bone & cause hardening of the soft tissue.

Thanks a lot Dr Mandell for saying you take 5,000 IU of /Vitamin daily and that it is best to take it early in the day with a meal that has healthy fat like avocados, or healthy fish or nuts to absorb the Vitamin D. I did read 10 years ago about a team of specialists who studies Vitamin D and they took 4,000 IU daily.

Just once I want someone to say, take vitamin D with CHOCOLATE!

Great info! So basically: take vit D early in the day, preferably with breakfast since it is fat soluble, also because taking it late in the day may affect your ability to sleep (melatonin).

Thank you doc, you deserve all the best for your efforts to inform us all, for free. Huge respect for you!

Years ago I was dangerously deficient in vitamin D3. The doctor told me to take 2000 I.U., but I actually took 500 I.U.. I just started taking magnesium and vitamin D3 again and I’m still taking the 5000 units. I’ve been having a lot headaches and other health issues Dr. Mandell has mentioned in a couple of videos where he talks about low vitamin D3 and magnesium, and I’m glad I watched them because he has encouraged me to start taking these two things again.

Just shared with the World on FB. Thank YOU so very much, Dr. Mandell !! 💝💖🙏💖💝

Thank you! I was actually just wondering about this very thing today, and just like that, this video popped up in my feed.

Thank you so much to make this clear: 800 I.U ARE NOT ENOUGH. Since 2015 is known by the R.K.I. that they made a mistake by writing down the researches. It is not needed 800 but 8000 I.U per day!!! But not even during a pandemic they come out with this lifesaving news! So thanks, that you do!!!!

Thank you, much appreciation for your teaching

This video is a repeat from last year. But still relevant ✌️

I took 5k IU and my levels were in the middle, I changed to 10k and they went near the upper limit for healthy levels, up from single digits which my body is only capable of producing naturally. I have been on 10k during the entire pandemic, and will be switching back to 5k daily once warm weather arrives this year.

Good, sensible advice! Thanks, Doc!
