This was of great interest to me as well... I take Vitamin D3 every single day.

If you take it, too, definitely read this.

In the last years, I’m sure you’ve heard how important vitamin D is for your health...and it’s the truth.

Raising your vitamin D to sufficient blood levels has been shown to:

- Reduce cancer risks in women by 77% (1)
- Reduce risks of catching the flu in children by 40% (2)
- Reduce your risks of developing type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome, regardless of your weight (3)
- Reduce your risks of abdominal obesity (in plain English = belly fat!), elevated blood pressure, high glucose, low HDL, and high blood triglyceride concentrations (4)

I could go on and on... but you get the idea.

Vitamin D research has EXPLODED over the last years, and everyone has started taking a daily vitamin D supplement. I myself have been taking 5,000 IUs of vitamin D (sometimes more in winter) for quite a few years.

But as I learned from Anthony DiClementi, my friend and author of The Biohacker’s Guide (the book he’s giving away for free at this link with just a small s&h fee), this MIGHT not be the best idea.

He explains: “Most experts now recommend that we maintain vitamin D levels in the blood of 50 ng/mL for optimal health. However, there is a great deal of controversy surrounding these recommendations. A study involving 1.2 million people showed that the lowest risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease were found in people with vitamin D levels between 20 to 36 ng/mL.”

How is that possible?

 

Anthony stresses that popping a Vitamin D3 supplement is definitely NOT the same thing as exposing your skin to the sun.

Natural sunlight contains the entire spectrum of light -- from infrared to ultraviolet. And when your skin gets in contact with these rays, it produces a molecule called “cholesterol sulfate”. This molecule is then slowly absorbed into your bloodstream. (5)

Now, there might be a lot of reasons why vitamin D supplementation alone might show certain risks for certain people:

a) The lack of vitamin K2, which is responsible for making sure the calcium circulating in your body ends up at the right place (NOT in your arteries). If you increase your vitamin D levels while being deficient in K2, you MIGHT increase your risks of heart disease.

b) Vitamin D3 might simply not be recognized by your body the way natural sunshine transformed into cholesterol sulfate is. Honestly, researchers don’t know yet!

 

So... What’s the lesson here? Should you TRASH your vitamin D supplement?

Not yet.

Lesson #1: What you SHOULD always do is try to get your vitamin D through sun exposure FIRST. And guess what? You still get about 40% of the beneficial sunrays when it’s cloudy, so no excuse! (6)

Make sure you get enough magnesium, vitamin K2 and vitamin A if you take a vitamin D supplement.

Lesson #2: Sometimes, you HAVE to go deeper and learn the whole picture. Taking a vitamin D supplement will NEVER replace getting sun exposure, just like taking a multivitamin will NEVER replace a healthy diet.

The key is to get educated from the best. That’s why I wanted to give you another heads up about the book Anthony has written (I had talked about it a few months back).

It’s called “The Biohacker’s Guide To Upgraded Energy & Focus” and it’s a real monster book of health knowledge.

I’m talking about 500+ pages containing everything from Anthony’s most advanced techniques from light therapy and using magnets to speed up healing to his unique protocols to troubleshoot gut problems, autoimmunity, parasites & infections, hormonal dysfunction and a ton more...

The best part? Anthony has released another print run of the book. You can his hardcover copy FREE...just pay for the shipping.
