Disclaimer: This article discusses health-related topics. Please read carefully and use this information responsibly. I’ve gone into extreme detail so you don’t have to spend countless hours researching on your own—allowing you to make an informed decision and avoid harming yourself.

Every culture throughout human history has worshiped the Sun as the giver of life—and for good reason. Without the Sun, the Earth would be barren—no liquid water, no vegetation or crops, and certainly no form of life that we can imagine. Even if we spent every moment of our existence venerating it, we could never repay the debt we owe our Sun. Yet, modern man does everything he can to avoid Sun exposure, and the consequences are severe.

The physical manifestation of the Sun in our bodies is called vitamin D—it’s technically a hormone, though we don’t call it "hormone D" because vitamins are generally considered essential nutrients that the body cannot synthesize on its own. The prefix "vita-" comes from Latin, meaning life.

Aside from consuming vitamin D-rich foods and supplements, the only natural way for the body to produce vitamin D is through direct skin exposure to the Sun. However, 21st-century lifestyles keep us indoors during the day, and when we do go outside, we’re often covered head to toe in clothing. Because of this, most people today are deficient.

This is especially true for individuals with darker skin, as melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color, is highly effective at absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light, and it is thought to absorb over 99.9% of the UV radiation it encounters. The more melanin you have (the darker your skin), the less vitamin D your body can produce in the same amount of sun exposure compared to someone with lighter skin.

Vitamin D is often referred to as “the happy hormone” because of its role in mood regulation. It influences the production of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that affect happiness, motivation, and emotional stability.

Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating appetite, and supplementation has been shown to help correct overeating behaviors. This concept is sometimes referred to as “winter syndrome.” Low vitamin D levels disrupt appetite regulation, and as daylight decreases, vitamin D levels drop, making both humans and animals hungrier and more likely to overeat. This has an evolutionary purpose—encouraging fat storage for survival in times of food scarcity—but in modern humans, it can contribute to unhealthy eating patterns, such as insatiable hunger and constant food cravings. Many people with a vitamin D deficiency experience dysregulated appetite, and supplementation can help restore normal hunger signals.

Those who are severely deficient in vitamin D often experience constant fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, frequent illness, brain fog, and inflammation throughout the body.

How much vitamin D you need

Before addressing a vitamin D deficiency, it's important to understand how much vitamin D the average person needs daily. Most health institutes worldwide recommend taking 400 to 800 IU (international units) of vitamin D per day and caution against exceeding 4,000 IU due to potential toxicity—which is absurd. Just 20 minutes of lying on a beach is enough for a person to produce 10,000 IU of vitamin D. Do you mean to tell me those levels are dangerous and toxic?

Now, the body has mechanisms to regulate natural vitamin D production from Sun exposure and break down any excess—something that doesn’t happen with supplements, as they bypass these natural controls. If you take too much vitamin D through supplementation, your body has no immediate way to stop absorption, which can, over many months of improper use, lead to toxicity. However, the dosages you would have to consume to cause toxicity are so high that most people couldn’t do it even by accident.

This study published in Anticancer Research in 2011 found that an intake of 9,600 IU of vitamin D per day was needed to raise serum 25(OH)D levels [the main form of vitamin D measured in the blood] to 40–60 ng/mL. These levels are considered “optimal” for health, with supposed toxicity occurring at levels above 100–150 ng/mL. I say supposed because in that same study it is noted that there was no clinical evidence of toxicity in people with serum 25(OH)D values of 200 ng/ml, which took the participants about 50,000 IU of vitamin D daily to achieve.

How to supplement safely

If you decide to supplement with vitamin D, it is extremely important that you do it right, so read the paragraphs below very carefully.

NEVER TAKE LARGE DOSES OF VITAMIN D ON ITS OWN! Vitamin D toxicity is a condition where excessive vitamin D intake leads to high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, kidney damage, and even calcification of soft tissues, including arteries and organs. This happens because vitamin D significantly increases calcium absorption from food.

Now, increased calcium levels aren’t necessarily a problem—as long as your body directs the calcium to the right places, namely your bones and teeth. This is where vitamin K2 plays a crucial role.

Vitamin K2 activates proteins that regulate calcium distribution:
  • Osteocalcin: Binds calcium and deposits it into bones and teeth, strengthening them.

  • Matrix Gla-Protein (MGP): Removes excess calcium from arteries and soft tissues, preventing dangerous calcification.
Without sufficient K2, the body doesn’t properly regulate calcium, allowing it to remain in the blood and accumulate in arteries and soft tissues—potentially leading to arterial calcification and other complications.

Vitamin K2 is primarily found in animal-based foods like organ meats, connective tissues, eggs, butter, and cheese. However, I strongly recommend supplementing with K2 rather than relying solely on dietary sources, especially if you are taking high doses of vitamin D.

Supplementing with magnesium is also extremely important. Vitamin D requires magnesium to be converted into its active form (calcitriol). If you take high doses of vitamin D without sufficient magnesium, your body’s magnesium reserves will eventually become depleted, leading to issues such as muscle cramps, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, anxiety, and others.

Ideally, for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D, you should take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 and 350 to 400 mg of magnesium.

Full transparency, the above ratio is the only one I can morally and ethically recommend as the scientific literature on how much magnesium is needed for vitamin D supplementation is almost non-existent. 400 mg of magnesium is about the limit for most people, as magnesium in high doses has a laxative effect. Most people can’t tolerate much more than 600 mg without getting loose stools.

What I know for sure is that the above ratio is universally safe. I couldn’t find a single case of someone experiencing adverse effects from using this ratio. This remains a significant scientific gray area with very little credible research, so I cannot say with confidence whether the average person would experience any adverse effects from taking more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D.

Disclaimer: if you want to take more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D, be a responsible adult and get regular blood tests to see how your body reacts. You only get one body, so take care of it!

If you want to take a higher dose of vitamin D, scale the ratio accordingly, for example, 20,000 IU of vitamin D and 200 mcg of vitamin K2, etc. Only take as much magnesium as you can tolerate, as doubling the base dosage is likely to give you turbo diarrhea. The magnesium is the limiting factor here, as you are increasing all other variables and keeping the magnesium the same, there’s no telling at what point the dosage would be insufficient for you. Again, if you are serious about taking higher doses, get your blood tested to see how your body reacts over time.

Getting the right supplements

Most supplements you see on store shelves are complete garbage, even at pharmacies. The dosages are too small and the vitamins and minerals are all the wrong kinds and/or in a form that the body can’t properly absorb. Unless you can find these at a specialty store that specializes in supplements, your best bet both in finding the best supplement and getting the lowest price is to buy them online.

Note: Search results will usually only show products that can be shipped to your country or region. I won’t be naming any specific brands, as the same supplements are often sold under different names. If a member shares the supplement they are using, keep in mind that you may not always be able to buy the same brand depending on where you live—and that’s okay. You just need to learn what to look for.

Vitamin D:

Just look for any supplement labeled as vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), as this is the most effective and natural form for humans. D3 is available in a wide range of dosages, including 1,000 IU, 2,500 IU, 5,000 IU, 10,000 IU, and even 50,000 IU (usually prescription-based). Choose a dosage that allows you to take your intended daily amount with the fewest pills. For example, if you need 20,000 IU daily, taking two 10,000 IU pills is more practical and cost-effective than taking twenty 1,000 IU pills. While taking multiple smaller doses won’t harm you, it is inefficient and can be more expensive since D3 supplements are generally priced the same regardless of dosage. Most pharmacies only carry lower doses (typically up to 2,500 IU), so for higher doses, you may need to order online.

Something else to consider is that vitamin D supplements are mainly absorbed in the gut (small intestine). This can be problematic because vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining, and when it is absent [such as with deficiency], the intestinal lining gets compromised, causing a condition known as “leaky gut.”

Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, is a condition where the lining of your small intestine becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to "leak" into your bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and immune responses that contribute to various health issues.

The intestinal lining is made of epithelial cells held together by tight junction proteins. Vitamin D helps regulate these proteins, keeping the gut barrier strong and selective—allowing nutrients in the blood while blocking harmful substances. A deficiency in vitamin D weakens these tight junctions, making the gut more permeable. For most people, it’s not really a question of if they have intestinal permeability or not but how much they have it.

Ironically, if your gut lining is compromised, it may struggle to properly absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D (which needs to be absorbed through the small intestine). There are people who take massive doses of vitamin D and don’t see a rise in their serum 25(OH)D values because of poor nutrient absorption caused by this.

If you have a history of intestinal permeability or you don’t see a rise in your serum 25(OH)D values in blood tests, DON’T TRY TO MEGADOSE ON VITAMIN D TO COMPENSATE FOR MALABSORPTION! Instead, use a different intake method that bypasses your digestive system.

Most vitamin D supplements come in the form of chewable tablets/gummies or capsules but you can also find sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablets or liquid vitamin D drops. These work because the area under your tongue has tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that can absorb certain substances directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion.

Vitamin D produced by the skin from sun exposure also bypasses digestion. I've read of cases where people with severe intestinal permeability were prescribed to go to tanning salons, as they can be equipped with UVB bulbs that mimic sunlight to raise their serum 25(OH)D values without relying on intestinal absorption, making it an effective alternative for those with malabsorption issues.

Vitamin K2:

You need to be extremely careful when choosing a vitamin K2 supplement because the type you buy will determine its effectiveness. Vitamin K2 comes in two main forms:
  • MK-4 (Menaquinone-4) – Has a short half-life of a few hours, meaning it needs to be taken multiple times per day for continuous benefits. It is typically found in animal-based foods.

  • MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) – Has a much longer half-life of up to 72 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing. It is derived from fermented foods like natto and is generally more efficient for maintaining long-term vitamin K2 levels.
FOR PROPER VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION, ONLY BUY VITAMIN K2 IN ITS MK7 FORM!

Another important factor to consider is the type of MK-7. MK-7 comes in two forms:
  • Trans-MK-7 – This is the natural, bioactive form that your body can effectively use.

  • Cis-MK-7 – This is an inactive form that the body cannot use efficiently. Poor-quality supplements usually contain a mix of cis and trans forms, reducing effectiveness significantly.
Always check that your supplement contains only trans-MK-7 for maximum benefits!

This can be frustrating to find because most products are simply labeled as “vitamin K2” or “MK-7” without specifying the form. If you can’t determine whether a supplement contains the right type, it’s best to move on and find another.

Very few K2 supplements explicitly state that they contain trans-MK-7, but you can infer it by checking the source of the ingredients. If the supplement is derived from fermented natto, it is in the trans form.

You might come across supplements that combine D3 and K2 in a single pill. I don’t like these because I haven’t found a single one that clearly states the specific form of K2 it contains. Vitamin K2 supplements are also available in sublingual form.

Magnesium:

Magnesium supplements come in many different forms, but not all are equally effective.
  • Magnesium Glycinate is generally considered the best form due to its high absorption rate and gentle effect on the stomach. It is bound to glycine, an amino acid that enhances absorption and has calming properties, making it ideal for relaxation, sleep, and overall magnesium replenishment.

  • Magnesium Oxide is widely regarded as the least effective form due to its poor absorption (only about 4% is absorbed by the body). This is the most common form of magnesium you will find in pharmacies, so be careful.
You will never find a supplement that is just "magnesium" because magnesium in its pure elemental form is a metal and is toxic. It is always bound to another molecule to make it safe and absorbable. However, the daily recommended dose of 350–400 mg refers to elemental magnesium, not the total weight of the compound.

Always check the supplement label to see how much elemental magnesium is in each serving. It should be listed as something like:

“Magnesium (from Magnesium Bisglycinate) – 100 mg”

If a label just lists “Magnesium Bisglycinate – 1000 mg” without specifying elemental magnesium, you have no way of knowing how much actual magnesium you're getting. Some forms of magnesium contain very little elemental magnesium per dose, so always check this before buying.

How to properly use the supplements

D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, so they must be taken with a fatty meal for optimal absorption (e.g., eggs, butter, avocado, nuts, olive oil, etc.). Magnesium can be taken both with and without food; however, some people experience stomach discomfort, nausea, or mild cramping when taking it on an empty stomach.

Take all of your supplements at once—there’s no interference between them. If you can’t handle taking your daily dose of magnesium all at once, it’s perfectly fine to split it across two meals. There is no benefit to splitting the D3 and K2, as you might only be having one fatty meal a day.

Some people take higher doses of K2 out of caution, which is perfectly fine, as there are no known adverse effects from excessive K2 intake. However, at very high doses (typically above 600–1,000 mcg per day), K2 can have a mild blood-thinning effect, so you should be mindful of this if you are already on blood-thinning medication.

Closing words

Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, if you're deficient, your body will prioritize replenishing its fat stores before raising vitamin D levels in your bloodstream—where it actually matters. This process can take several weeks to even months, depending on how deficient you are. You likely won’t feel the benefits right away.

If, after months of supplementation, your blood tests show that your serum 25(OH)D levels are not increasing, you should consider changing your D3 intake method or making time in your day to get sun exposure. Either way, this indicates an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Thank you for reading to the end—stay safe and be responsible!

Thank you for this amazing post it will take me a while to read
Am sure I shall learn 😌
 
Thank you this is very well written, I read it.

Can I ask you a few questions here?
To what extent do diseases of the body affect the soul? Including vitamin deficiencies, of course...

What do you think about supplements for gym? Obviously it's impossible to be a bodybuilder without supplements. I know steroids are harmful but how can this progress?
 
To what extent do diseases of the body affect the soul?
That's very hard for me to answer. Not all diseases affect the soul in a permanent way.

What do you think about supplements for gym? Obviously it's impossible to be a bodybuilder without supplements. I know steroids are harmful but how can this progress?
I know that if you become dependent on external sources of testosterone, your body eventually loses the ability to produce it on its own. I don't know how reversible this is, and it doesn't seem worth it to me at all. I'm not the one to ask about this; I'm not well-versed in this sphere. I think gymnasts have amazing bodies; anything more than that seems to reduce range of motion and mobility significantly. Even if you can manage to get that big, that's all you are. You lose all of your agility and endurance for a massive build.
 
Yes but every man wants a good body. I'm new to fitness and I keep going.

Exactly, that's why people don't use steroids, even in the UFC. But every man wants to grow, and it's easier this way. I see so many people around using it. You're right that it's not worth it though. Thank you for the nice answer.

What do you think about supplements for gym? Obviously it's impossible to be a bodybuilder without supplements. I know steroids are harmful but how can this progress?
Greetings,
If you eat properly and exercise regularly, you can build a great physique. You don't need supplements.
 
Yes but every man wants a good body. I'm new to fitness and I keep going.

Exactly, that's why people don't use steroids, even in the UFC. But every man wants to grow, and it's easier this way. I see so many people around using it. You're right that it's not worth it though. Thank you for the nice answer.

Mike Müntzer is a great guy, but I never understood how to do it. For example, I'm practicing Bench press, how do I do it, do I hold the weight steady for a while in negative incline?

Food is always the best choice
Even if we say that on average 40-50 g of protein should be taken, even this is a large number economically. But yess. It's a best.

hello! What our TG said is completely true and listen to his advice.

Steroids have recently been my topic of study in school and yes, if you take steroids your body will no longer produce testosterone and it could all lead to infertility.

Also, steroids and supplements are two different things: supplements should be taken to supplement a nutrient that you don't have in high amounts in your body. What I can tell you, however, is to always consult a specialist and never go your own way as you will not always have the desired effects.

Also, speaking as someone who has been going to the gym even if for a short time, I can assure you that by supplementing a diet specifically for you given by a nutritional biologist you will see results gradually. If you would like to grow your muscles talk to your personal trainer and he will give you the right exercises :giggle:

I also take this opportunity to thank our dear Guardian for this fantastic thread ☀️
 
the only natural way for the body to produce vitamin D is through direct skin exposure to the Sun. However, 21st-century lifestyles keep us indoors during the day, and when we do go outside, we’re often covered head to toe in clothing. Because of this, most people today are deficient.
That’s true. But what’s with people who suffer on sun allergy ? I have sun allergy and I cannot exposure my skin directly to the sun. But I’ve never had vitamin D deficiency.

Having an allergy doesn't automatically mean that you are deficient. It's possible that you're getting enough vitamin D from your diet, or at least enough to not experience the negative effects of deficiency. Sun allergies are immune responses to UV light, so most people who are professionally diagnosed are told to take vitamin D, so I'm surprised to hear that you weren't.

Have you ever gotten a blood test to see you vitamin D levels? If you can't expose yourself to the sun, it's not possible for them to be in the normal range if you aren't supplementing, there's just nowhere else for the vitamin D to come from.
 
I have a few questions [TG] PoJ.

Where I live it is mostly grey/overcast weather and there is rarely any sunlight. Worse, I have to spend a lot of time indoors.

- Is it worth trying to absorb such a low quantity of sunlight?
- Will UV/tanning beds help or rather damage my skin?
- Does skin health affect sunlight absorption?
- To what extent can the negative effects of low vitamin D be offset by Sun Squares?

What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.
 
Thank you! What about C vitamin and other vitamins (maybe a future article)?
I don't plan on making an article about vitamin C but here are a few important things to know:

Vitamin C is water soluble, which means it's not stored in the body, unlike fat soluble vitamins. Unless you are eating fruits and vegetables basically throughout the day, you're not getting "enough," as it is very quickly excreted from the body. There are slow release supplements that are made to release vitamin C in your system over several hours that can be taken twice daily, but I've never bothered with such things. I think only people with very specific health conditions ever need to worry about that.

It's very hard to not get enough vitamin C to the point of getting scurvy or something, so don't worry.

I think at some point in the past vitamin C was fat soluble, but since our diet consisted of so many fruits and vegetables, it eventually evolved into being water soluble for humans. There are some benefits to having a lot of vitamin C in your system, but it's very hard to achieve. It's literal work just to have it, so I don't see a point.

You can read about it online but there are many factors that contribute to how much vitamin D you get from sunlight. It's possible in certain geographic locations to be in broad daylight, no clouds, and get next to no vitamin D because vitamin D is produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) light.

When you go to a tanning salon, you need to specifically ask if they have UVB bulbs installed and explain to them what you're trying to do. A competent technician will understand immediately.

For skin health, the only factor is how dark it is, nothing else.

You cannot get vitamin D from magic sources or offset the effects of deficiency with Sun squares.

Get a lot of highly bioavailable vitamin d supplements, the ones infused in oil, either fish oil or olive oil. Then find a dosage suitable for your needs. It's highly likely that you would need multiple times of the maximum recommended value as it is general recommendation for the masses and to avoid possible complications, it estimates on the low end.

Disclaimer: This article discusses health-related topics. Please read carefully and use this information responsibly. I’ve gone into extreme detail so you don’t have to spend countless hours researching on your own—allowing you to make an informed decision and avoid harming yourself.

Every culture throughout human history has worshiped the Sun as the giver of life—and for good reason. Without the Sun, the Earth would be barren—no liquid water, no vegetation or crops, and certainly no form of life that we can imagine. Even if we spent every moment of our existence venerating it, we could never repay the debt we owe our Sun. Yet, modern man does everything he can to avoid Sun exposure, and the consequences are severe.

The physical manifestation of the Sun in our bodies is called vitamin D—it’s technically a hormone, though we don’t call it "hormone D" because vitamins are generally considered essential nutrients that the body cannot synthesize on its own. The prefix "vita-" comes from Latin, meaning life.

Aside from consuming vitamin D-rich foods and supplements, the only natural way for the body to produce vitamin D is through direct skin exposure to the Sun. However, 21st-century lifestyles keep us indoors during the day, and when we do go outside, we’re often covered head to toe in clothing. Because of this, most people today are deficient.

This is especially true for individuals with darker skin, as melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color, is highly effective at absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light, and it is thought to absorb over 99.9% of the UV radiation it encounters. The more melanin you have (the darker your skin), the less vitamin D your body can produce in the same amount of sun exposure compared to someone with lighter skin.

Vitamin D is often referred to as “the happy hormone” because of its role in mood regulation. It influences the production of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that affect happiness, motivation, and emotional stability.

Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating appetite, and supplementation has been shown to help correct overeating behaviors. This concept is sometimes referred to as “winter syndrome.” Low vitamin D levels disrupt appetite regulation, and as daylight decreases, vitamin D levels drop, making both humans and animals hungrier and more likely to overeat. This has an evolutionary purpose—encouraging fat storage for survival in times of food scarcity—but in modern humans, it can contribute to unhealthy eating patterns, such as insatiable hunger and constant food cravings. Many people with a vitamin D deficiency experience dysregulated appetite, and supplementation can help restore normal hunger signals.

Those who are severely deficient in vitamin D often experience constant fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, frequent illness, brain fog, and inflammation throughout the body.

How much vitamin D you need

Before addressing a vitamin D deficiency, it's important to understand how much vitamin D the average person needs daily. Most health institutes worldwide recommend taking 400 to 800 IU (international units) of vitamin D per day and caution against exceeding 4,000 IU due to potential toxicity—which is absurd. Just 20 minutes of lying on a beach is enough for a person to produce 10,000 IU of vitamin D. Do you mean to tell me those levels are dangerous and toxic?

Now, the body has mechanisms to regulate natural vitamin D production from Sun exposure and break down any excess—something that doesn’t happen with supplements, as they bypass these natural controls. If you take too much vitamin D through supplementation, your body has no immediate way to stop absorption, which can, over many months of improper use, lead to toxicity. However, the dosages you would have to consume to cause toxicity are so high that most people couldn’t do it even by accident.

This study published in Anticancer Research in 2011 found that an intake of 9,600 IU of vitamin D per day was needed to raise serum 25(OH)D levels [the main form of vitamin D measured in the blood] to 40–60 ng/mL. These levels are considered “optimal” for health, with supposed toxicity occurring at levels above 100–150 ng/mL. I say supposed because in that same study it is noted that there was no clinical evidence of toxicity in people with serum 25(OH)D values of 200 ng/ml, which took the participants about 50,000 IU of vitamin D daily to achieve.

How to supplement safely

If you decide to supplement with vitamin D, it is extremely important that you do it right, so read the paragraphs below very carefully.

NEVER TAKE LARGE DOSES OF VITAMIN D ON ITS OWN! Vitamin D toxicity is a condition where excessive vitamin D intake leads to high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, kidney damage, and even calcification of soft tissues, including arteries and organs. This happens because vitamin D significantly increases calcium absorption from food.

Now, increased calcium levels aren’t necessarily a problem—as long as your body directs the calcium to the right places, namely your bones and teeth. This is where vitamin K2 plays a crucial role.

Vitamin K2 activates proteins that regulate calcium distribution:
  • Osteocalcin: Binds calcium and deposits it into bones and teeth, strengthening them.

  • Matrix Gla-Protein (MGP): Removes excess calcium from arteries and soft tissues, preventing dangerous calcification.
Without sufficient K2, the body doesn’t properly regulate calcium, allowing it to remain in the blood and accumulate in arteries and soft tissues—potentially leading to arterial calcification and other complications.

Vitamin K2 is primarily found in animal-based foods like organ meats, connective tissues, eggs, butter, and cheese. However, I strongly recommend supplementing with K2 rather than relying solely on dietary sources, especially if you are taking high doses of vitamin D.

Supplementing with magnesium is also extremely important. Vitamin D requires magnesium to be converted into its active form (calcitriol). If you take high doses of vitamin D without sufficient magnesium, your body’s magnesium reserves will eventually become depleted, leading to issues such as muscle cramps, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, anxiety, and others.

Ideally, for every 10,000 IU of vitamin D, you should take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 and 350 to 400 mg of magnesium.

Full transparency, the above ratio is the only one I can morally and ethically recommend as the scientific literature on how much magnesium is needed for vitamin D supplementation is almost non-existent. 400 mg of magnesium is about the limit for most people, as magnesium in high doses has a laxative effect. Most people can’t tolerate much more than 600 mg without getting loose stools.

What I know for sure is that the above ratio is universally safe. I couldn’t find a single case of someone experiencing adverse effects from using this ratio. This remains a significant scientific gray area with very little credible research, so I cannot say with confidence whether the average person would experience any adverse effects from taking more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D.

Disclaimer: if you want to take more than 10,000 IU of vitamin D, be a responsible adult and get regular blood tests to see how your body reacts. You only get one body, so take care of it!

If you want to take a higher dose of vitamin D, scale the ratio accordingly, for example, 20,000 IU of vitamin D and 200 mcg of vitamin K2, etc. Only take as much magnesium as you can tolerate, as doubling the base dosage is likely to give you turbo diarrhea. The magnesium is the limiting factor here, as you are increasing all other variables and keeping the magnesium the same, there’s no telling at what point the dosage would be insufficient for you. Again, if you are serious about taking higher doses, get your blood tested to see how your body reacts over time.

Getting the right supplements

Most supplements you see on store shelves are complete garbage, even at pharmacies. The dosages are too small and the vitamins and minerals are all the wrong kinds and/or in a form that the body can’t properly absorb. Unless you can find these at a specialty store that specializes in supplements, your best bet both in finding the best supplement and getting the lowest price is to buy them online.

Note: Search results will usually only show products that can be shipped to your country or region. I won’t be naming any specific brands, as the same supplements are often sold under different names. If a member shares the supplement they are using, keep in mind that you may not always be able to buy the same brand depending on where you live—and that’s okay. You just need to learn what to look for.

Vitamin D:

Just look for any supplement labeled as vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), as this is the most effective and natural form for humans. D3 is available in a wide range of dosages, including 1,000 IU, 2,500 IU, 5,000 IU, 10,000 IU, and even 50,000 IU (usually prescription-based). Choose a dosage that allows you to take your intended daily amount with the fewest pills. For example, if you need 20,000 IU daily, taking two 10,000 IU pills is more practical and cost-effective than taking twenty 1,000 IU pills. While taking multiple smaller doses won’t harm you, it is inefficient and can be more expensive since D3 supplements are generally priced the same regardless of dosage. Most pharmacies only carry lower doses (typically up to 2,500 IU), so for higher doses, you may need to order online.

Something else to consider is that vitamin D supplements are mainly absorbed in the gut (small intestine). This can be problematic because vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal lining, and when it is absent [such as with deficiency], the intestinal lining gets compromised, causing a condition known as “leaky gut.”

Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, is a condition where the lining of your small intestine becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria to "leak" into your bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and immune responses that contribute to various health issues.

The intestinal lining is made of epithelial cells held together by tight junction proteins. Vitamin D helps regulate these proteins, keeping the gut barrier strong and selective—allowing nutrients in the blood while blocking harmful substances. A deficiency in vitamin D weakens these tight junctions, making the gut more permeable. For most people, it’s not really a question of if they have intestinal permeability or not but how much they have it.

Ironically, if your gut lining is compromised, it may struggle to properly absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D (which needs to be absorbed through the small intestine). There are people who take massive doses of vitamin D and don’t see a rise in their serum 25(OH)D values because of poor nutrient absorption caused by this.

If you have a history of intestinal permeability or you don’t see a rise in your serum 25(OH)D values in blood tests, DON’T TRY TO MEGADOSE ON VITAMIN D TO COMPENSATE FOR MALABSORPTION! Instead, use a different intake method that bypasses your digestive system.

Most vitamin D supplements come in the form of chewable tablets/gummies or capsules but you can also find sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablets or liquid vitamin D drops. These work because the area under your tongue has tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that can absorb certain substances directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion.

Vitamin D produced by the skin from sun exposure also bypasses digestion. I've read of cases where people with severe intestinal permeability were prescribed to go to tanning salons, as they can be equipped with UVB bulbs that mimic sunlight to raise their serum 25(OH)D values without relying on intestinal absorption, making it an effective alternative for those with malabsorption issues.

Vitamin K2:

You need to be extremely careful when choosing a vitamin K2 supplement because the type you buy will determine its effectiveness. Vitamin K2 comes in two main forms:
  • MK-4 (Menaquinone-4) – Has a short half-life of a few hours, meaning it needs to be taken multiple times per day for continuous benefits. It is typically found in animal-based foods.

  • MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) – Has a much longer half-life of up to 72 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing. It is derived from fermented foods like natto and is generally more efficient for maintaining long-term vitamin K2 levels.
FOR PROPER VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION, ONLY BUY VITAMIN K2 IN ITS MK7 FORM!

Another important factor to consider is the type of MK-7. MK-7 comes in two forms:
  • Trans-MK-7 – This is the natural, bioactive form that your body can effectively use.

  • Cis-MK-7 – This is an inactive form that the body cannot use efficiently. Poor-quality supplements usually contain a mix of cis and trans forms, reducing effectiveness significantly.
Always check that your supplement contains only trans-MK-7 for maximum benefits!

This can be frustrating to find because most products are simply labeled as “vitamin K2” or “MK-7” without specifying the form. If you can’t determine whether a supplement contains the right type, it’s best to move on and find another.

Very few K2 supplements explicitly state that they contain trans-MK-7, but you can infer it by checking the source of the ingredients. If the supplement is derived from fermented natto, it is in the trans form.

You might come across supplements that combine D3 and K2 in a single pill. I don’t like these because I haven’t found a single one that clearly states the specific form of K2 it contains. Vitamin K2 supplements are also available in sublingual form.

Magnesium:

Magnesium supplements come in many different forms, but not all are equally effective.
  • Magnesium Glycinate is generally considered the best form due to its high absorption rate and gentle effect on the stomach. It is bound to glycine, an amino acid that enhances absorption and has calming properties, making it ideal for relaxation, sleep, and overall magnesium replenishment.

  • Magnesium Oxide is widely regarded as the least effective form due to its poor absorption (only about 4% is absorbed by the body). This is the most common form of magnesium you will find in pharmacies, so be careful.
You will never find a supplement that is just "magnesium" because magnesium in its pure elemental form is a metal and is toxic. It is always bound to another molecule to make it safe and absorbable. However, the daily recommended dose of 350–400 mg refers to elemental magnesium, not the total weight of the compound.

Always check the supplement label to see how much elemental magnesium is in each serving. It should be listed as something like:

“Magnesium (from Magnesium Bisglycinate) – 100 mg”

If a label just lists “Magnesium Bisglycinate – 1000 mg” without specifying elemental magnesium, you have no way of knowing how much actual magnesium you're getting. Some forms of magnesium contain very little elemental magnesium per dose, so always check this before buying.

How to properly use the supplements

D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, so they must be taken with a fatty meal for optimal absorption (e.g., eggs, butter, avocado, nuts, olive oil, etc.). Magnesium can be taken both with and without food; however, some people experience stomach discomfort, nausea, or mild cramping when taking it on an empty stomach.

Take all of your supplements at once—there’s no interference between them. If you can’t handle taking your daily dose of magnesium all at once, it’s perfectly fine to split it across two meals. There is no benefit to splitting the D3 and K2, as you might only be having one fatty meal a day.

Some people take higher doses of K2 out of caution, which is perfectly fine, as there are no known adverse effects from excessive K2 intake. However, at very high doses (typically above 600–1,000 mcg per day), K2 can have a mild blood-thinning effect, so you should be mindful of this if you are already on blood-thinning medication.

Closing words

Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, if you're deficient, your body will prioritize replenishing its fat stores before raising vitamin D levels in your bloodstream—where it actually matters. This process can take several weeks to even months, depending on how deficient you are. You likely won’t feel the benefits right away.

If, after months of supplementation, your blood tests show that your serum 25(OH)D levels are not increasing, you should consider changing your D3 intake method or making time in your day to get sun exposure. Either way, this indicates an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Thank you for reading to the end—stay safe and be responsible!
Wow! This is interesting. I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing this article 💐🌞
 
Great Research.

And also something to mention, modern human nowadays go outside after applying layers of Sunscreen Lotion/Cream receiving almost no Sunlight. And they claim it is good.

I have watched some videos people gathering together in the beach without Sunglasses, taking umbrellas or applying Sunscreen lotion/cream from the 80's and 90's possibly before inventing Sunscreen Lotion/Cream. And people were happier and healthier back then.

Babies in the womb need sunlight too! Sun rays penetrate kilometers deep into the ocean, and they can reach the baby through the skin and fluids. It's not direct contact, obviously, but we know for certain that at some point during pregnancy, babies start reacting to light. Sun rays reaching them support their early neurodevelopment. Light stimulates the retina, which sends signals to the visual cortex, helping shape neural pathways. This is the groundwork for visual-spatial skills, such as spatial awareness, mental rotation, depth perception, visual memory, and related. For vitamin D, fetus get it from the mom directly.

Now, think about all the women who are only allowed to go outside if they wear multiple layers of clothing that leave no skin exposed to the sun, if they ever leave home at all. Every little thing about these cults are dysgenic. I bet majority of those women suffer from vitamin D deficiency and they are the only source for vitamin D for the fetus they carry.

Speaking of babies, don't forget to check it with your doctor when it comes to supplements if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Thank you for the article. It is great.
