In this podcast, I want to talk about vitamin D and RDAs. You may have seen that the news is now bashing vitamin D. They are saying that you shouldn’t take too much because it’s toxic—it’s now considered dangerous when taking more than 600 IUs. Where is this coming from? 

There was recently a study published by the national academy of medicine (NAM). After many years of compiling research, they happened to make a big error—by a factor of ten. Instead of recommending 600 IUs, they should have been recommending 8895 IUs. 

RDAs are the recommended daily allowances of nutrients that are considered to be sufficient for over 97.5% of healthy people to prevent a deficiency. Keep in mind that RDAs do not consider unhealthy people. 

Today, the data is still wrong and unchanged, which means many people are getting a false recommendation of 600 IUs/day. 

This recommendation is crazy—we are facing a massive vitamin D deficiency pandemic right now. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, resulting in problems with…
• Immune system health
• Bone health
• Inflammation
• Increased risk of autoimmune diseases
and much more. 

When you see information like this, make sure you search out who is providing this information. It’s important to check for errors, quality, and conflicts of interest. 

The best source of vitamin D is not a particular food—it’s the sunlight. Sunlight stimulates the body’s natural ability to create vitamin D. 

Many things can affect how much vitamin D you should consume:
• Excessive weight or obesity
• Age
• Skin color/melanin 
• Infection
• Health conditions
