How much vitamin D should I take?

Gary Brecka suggests that guidelines for vitamin D intake are generally considered too low by functional medicine practitioners. He recommends taking a minimum of 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, along with 120 to 140 micrograms of vitamin K2, to help ensure calcium is properly deposited into the bones rather than arterial walls 1. Additionally, he mentions that the optimal range for vitamin D3 levels in the blood is between 60 and 80 nanograms per deciliter, which should be checked with blood work 1.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health needs.
