Broke my ribs here due to dangerously low Vitamin D. Was already on Vit D supplements. Later learnt about the entire stack of Vitamin D + Magnesium + Vitamin K2 Vit D 60k IU once a week, Magnesium Glycinate 350mg every night, Vitamin K2 100mcg per day The enzyme that converts Vit D into its active form, that enzyme requires Mg for its activation. I was previously taking Vit D for 1 year with almost 0 movement in my blood levels. Magnesium changed that. I had healthy blood levels of Calcium. Yet my ribs cracked. The problem was lack of K2. But I eat enough meat mainly chicken, then why? Turns out chicken need to be fed grass (contains Vitamin K1) which their bodies convert to K2, so if I eat grass-fed chicken my body would get K2. Chicken are mass produced and fed some grain whatever is probably the cheapest food required to make them grow. No K1 for Chicken. No K2 for me. Welp. Started taking the combination above. Went from Vit D level of 20ng/ml to 135 ng/ml in a matter of 3 months. Have dialed down the supplements in order to stabilize at a healthy level (aiming for 70-80ng/ml). |
