Less likely to overdose on Vitamin D than aspirin or water

Created February 2025

A 25X increased dose of aspirin or water is lethal, but not Vitamin D

Note: 100,000 IU daily = 25 X 4,000 IU.
    which is safe for 2 weeks if not take cofactors,
        safe for years if take co-factors (see next chart)

"Water is statistically more dangerous than high Vitamin D doses due to electrolyte imbalances." - 2024

Dr. von Helden - Vitamin D at 30 ng/ml is a human right! YouTube in German

🔬 Core Arguments from Dr. Raimund von Helden by ChatGPT AI

  1. Vitamin D Deficiency as Syndrome (~01:10)

    • Dr. von Helden argues that Vitamin D deficiency is not just about rickets but a full deficiency syndrome affecting energy, immunity, and general health.

  2. Natural Range and Toxicity Clarified (~04:30–06:30)

    • Normal range: 30–100 ng/mL. Toxicity concerns arise only at extreme levels (>300 ng/mL).
      Water is statistically more dangerous than high Vitamin D doses due to electrolyte imbalances.

  3. Low Vitamin D Strongly Correlates with Mortality (~06:30–07:30)

    • Low levels (under 20 ng/mL) are associated with significantly increased mortality. He co-authored a study demonstrating this correlation.

  4. Simulator and Dosing Model (~08:45–10:00)

    • He developed a Vitamin D Simulator that lets people input doses to model their levels like a bank account. Example: 70,000 IU weekly leads to ~88–90 ng/mL serum level.

  5. Germany’s Official Intake is Inadequate (~11:00)

    • Average diet (e.g., fish, eggs) yields ~800 IU/week — far below optimal.
      He advocates for 4,000–10,000 IU/day for many adults.
🧬 Co-Factors and Nutritional Synergy

  1. Essential Co-Factors: K2, Magnesium, Vitamin C (~22:10–28:30)

    • K2 helps deliver calcium safely; magnesium supports over 200 enzyme systems needed for Vitamin D function; Vitamin C ensures collagen synthesis and bone elasticity.

  2. Critique of Osteology & Calcium Supplementation (~28:50–32:00)

    • German osteoporosis care focuses too much on bone density instead of elasticity. Overuse of calcium without D/K2/magnesium may increase cardiovascular risk .
🏥 Practical Approach and Ethical Standpoint

  1. Customized Protocols & Testing (~36:00–39:00)

    • He uses personalized dosing plans, simulations, blood testing (externally validated), and evaluates kidney/liver health before and during supplementation.

  2. Vitamin D Berater Network (~39:50)

    • Created a nationwide network of trained Vitamin D advisors in Germany for accessible, non-clinical guidance on proper dosing and synergy.

  3. No Financial Gain, Ethical Mission (~41:00–43:00)

    • Emphasizes he's never profited from selling supplements; sees Vitamin D as a "civil right" and advises based on science, not commerce.
