Mushrooms
Mushrooms are not only a tasty food and an incredible source of protein for people who have a vegetarian or plant-based diet, but they’re also a great source of vitamin D.
Just like humans, mushrooms are able to synthesize this nutrient when they’re exposed to UV light. However, they aren’t able to produce vitamin D3, like animals do, but they can produce the nutrient D2.
Even though mineral D2 is good for helping your blood raise its levels of vitamin D, some sources say that it’s not as effective as vitamin D3. However, one cup of morel mushrooms contains roughly 136 IU of vitamin D, which is 17% of the daily recommended value.

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
I do both. hmmm
Boron is taken by bodybuilders to strengthen bones. 10mg per day.
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.
If you take 5000 IU D3 a day before a blood sugar test the results are masked and the test need to be redone to read
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?
Everything is wrong now!!! Everything that has been used so far is no longer good!! Only their vaccines are good, isn t so ????
RJ the same thing happened to me heart irregularities from high doses of D3
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.
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.
What kind of irregularities?
I take 25mcg(1,000 IU) Is that to much to take?
