Vitamin A helped improve my vision and night vision. Colors are more vivid now

Vitamin A is actually a Cofactor of Vitamin D. Vitamin D gets activated from calcidiol into calcitriol which is the active form. Calcitriol then goes into the cell and binds to the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin A as the active form goes into the cell and binds to the Vitamin A receptor. Both receptors then melt into one. This means there is an important relationship. Dr. Michael Holic (scientist who isolated vitamin D) published a study on the interaction of vitamin a with vitamin d.

Please also remember magnesium. Without magnesium, the vitamin D level will not rise above 30, maximum 40 ng / ml. Magnesium is best used transdermally (as an oil through the skin). When taken orally, probably only 50-60% of the magnesium is processed by the body. Those who think that all nutrients can be absorbed in the necessary quantity through food are unfortunately wrong. Due to the constant deterioration of the soil, water and air in recent decades, plants, herbs, berries, vegetables, etc. no longer have nearly the ingredients they did 50 or 60 years ago. We (unfortunately) have to resort to food supplements. And here it is particularly important to make sure that you take high-quality products...

I seem to remember quite a long time ago a talk done by Chris Masterjohn about vitamin A toxicity being nullified with vitamin D and vice versa. Essentially what would have been a toxic dose of either vitamin showed no ill effects when given together at the same levels.

Vitamin A is the easiest vitamin to get from food, vitamin D is one of the hardest hence why it gets and needs more attention 👍

Liver gets so much hate, but it's wildly undeserved. You just gotta treat it right - buy fresh, slice thin, cook fast/hot, pair with REAL butter - to make it both delicious and nutritious. Even my toddler likes it, and it's the first thing she cleans off her plate. Chicken livers are mild, tender, and dirt cheap. My favorite though, is rabbit liver from the meat rabbits I raise. If you can get ahold of it, and you know the animal was raised well/harvested in good health, it's well worth trying.

My story. One of my sons and I are not vexed. We got the virus. I had been taking vitamin D. C and zinc for many months prior. I've actually always taken vitamins. Our symptoms were relatively mild. My son who Is 25 symptoms were a little worse than mine. For example He had fatigue that I never experienced. In fact I carried on my days as I normally did. We both got it again from my other fully vex and boosted son who got it from a fully vexed and boosted friend. My unvexed son and I had very mild symptoms. They were a nasal drip and scratchy throat. Pretty similar to our inital symptoms when we got it the first time. The symptoms never progressed and after approximately 48 hours we both felt completely fine. My vexed son wasn't as lucky. While his symptoms were relatively mild they were worse than ours and lasted about a week.

You are right Vitamins A and D are essential to reinforce our immune system🦠 ; some of my favourite whole foods: liver, salmon, eggs, broccoli (too many to list here); use to supplement with CLO however, was afraid of getting too much due to consuming whole foods; however, if one doesn’t get enough thought, it’s a very good idea to supplement; thank you.

@@Palaecro Vitamin D intake may be insufficient by taking only CLO (Cod Liver Oil) As far as I know current cod liver oil contains less vitamin D than in the past. A couple of years ago, looking at the various brands of CLO, I noticed different quantities and proportions in the vitamin D and A content. I wrote several emails to the various CLO manufacturers available in Europe and to my surprise they all replied. Everyone admitted that vitamins A and D in CLO are added. The reason is filtration (and also deodorization) All fish oils and even CLO are currently subjected to various filtration processes to eliminate pollutants (unfortunately the sea has become a landfill) After filtration the vitamin content of the CLO is almost zero and they are therefore added again (synthetically) Depending on the brand there will be different quantities and proportions of vitamins. This doesn't mean taking CLO is a bad idea, I think CLO is good for our health but I wanted to tell you this. Some reading I did on the web says that the CLO of 50 or 70 years ago was richer in vitamins than today, this could be true.. Rather than buying CLO I take fish oil because it is richer in omega3 and I take vitamin A and D purchased separately. There is also a Nordic CLO and fish oil manufacturer who fortifies all their products with vitamins A, D, E - I sometimes use their fortified fish oil. I don't use megadoses of vitamins A, D or K2 but I am convinced that their synergistic association is beneficial (and I don't forget magnesium)
