Look into vitamin K2 along with D3 supplements.
Vitamin D deficiency is generally caused by magnesium deficiency.
Take Magnesium and Vitamin D Together to Avoid Side Effects
Vitamin D supplement may cause magnesium depletion, so magnesium (in one or more forms specified by spacejunkie2001 in post #39) needs to be supplemented as well. Many more people are deficient in magnesium today due to different agri-soil composition.
Also the "medical community" tended to stress and overprescribe the calcium supplements (especially for women) which may cause the kidney, gallbladder, salivary gland and other calcium oxalate stones, as well as more brittle bones — which is one of the reasons women have far more bone fractures.
Higher magnesium and potassium intake also balance sodium (as in salt), which is necessary for healthy organisms.
Thank you CutPuppy. Good info...
BTW: all medications have side-effects.
People always need to remind themselves of that fact.
Good post. Let me expand on a couple of things. One, don’t take k2 every day, only about 3 x per week.
Two, a fascinating tidbit of information is that when we are stressed out, whether by an external event or internal event (sickness, under nourished, etc), the very first thing our adrenal glands do is purge our 2 relaxing minerals, which are magnesium and zinc. They do this because of the fight or flight they are preparing you for. But, when we purge those 2 extremely important minerals, and then do not replenish them, it sets us up for major problems. As I said earlier, being mineral deficient (under nourished) is also a cause for stress, so the vicious cycle continues.
We can’t get enough mag from our food or water now so it is imperative that we supplement with it and it must be the right kind to be effective.
