Egg yolks

Vitamin D is not exclusively found in fish. Another excellent source and incredibly nutritious food are whole eggs. The egg whites contain the majority of the protein, whereas the yolk contains the majority of the fat, vitamins, and minerals.

Even though a lot of people stay away from the yolk, due to its high-cholesterol levels, if you consume eggs in moderation, as part of a healthy and balanced diet, you are completely safe.

One large egg has 37 IU or 5% of the daily value of vitamin D in the yolk. However, scientists say that the quantity of vitamin D from the yolks is influenced by a few different things, such as:

  • the vitamin D content of the chicken feed;
  • the chicken’s exposure to sunlight;
  • the exposure of the liquid yolk to UV light.

When given the same nutrition, hens grown on pasture and allowed to wander outside in the sunlight lay eggs with levels that are 3 to 4 times higher in this much-needed nutrient.

  1. I tbink its a Boron mineral deficiency ..not a Vitamin D3 deficiency …..you could take 50,000iu of D3 = One Mg of D3 and it might be a very toxic amount of Rat Poision …..Taking 10 mgs of Boron shohld increase D3 and also heal 100 other illnesses too …now there might be a good reason totake Boron instead

  2. I inadvertently was taking too much D3, ended up with heart ‘irregularities’.
    Cardiologist pointed out that I was OD’ing on D3. After I dialed it back the problem went away.

  3. How much D3 is recommended?
    I take 10,000 IU’s daily. My routine Lipid and Metobolic bloodwork tests have not shown any concerning “effect”.
    Where is this information available?

  4. Everything is wrong now!!! Everything that has been used so far is no longer good!! Only their vaccines are good, isn t so ????

  5. Vitamin D should not be taken without magnesium. Vitamin D uses magnesium to make the active form of vitamin D in the liver, thus depleting magnesium if you are not taking it. A lack of magnesium can cause serious heart arrhythmia. I take 2 gms a day in divided doses. Magnesium can cause gut issues so titarate up to that dose and dose accordingly.
    Doctors are amazingly ignorant on this subject, and by the way the routine lab magnesium test is inaccurate. It does not measure magnesium levels in the cells.
    I have taken over 20 k a day for years without problems.
    Doctors get zero nutrition schooling. Just a fyi.

  6. I take 6000 units of D3 and my blood work came back within the middle/normal range for D3. It is important to get blood work don and not guess.
