      Introduction

      With today’s conventional farming methods and the lack of fresh foods, it is almost impossible to get enough minerals and vitamins from our food; as a result, most people suffer from varying degrees of nutrient deficiencies.

      These deficiencies have serious consequences and can lead to several easily avoidable symptoms and diseases. As illustrations of this point: An adequate intake of antioxidants can reduce the risk of cancer by 50%, and taking magnesium on a regular basis can successfully prevent cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure or cardiac arrhythmias.

      There is basically no one who wouldn’t benefit from supplementation with vital substances. I have waded through the jungle of nutritional supplements and have selected the best and most diverse ones, supported by my experiences in recent years, and by relevant research results.

      I’ve reworked this third edition, by adding new insights and more than 20 new pages. Most of all, I added vitamin C, this all-rounder vitamin, to the book.

      It is unbelievable how many ailments simply vanish through meaningful supplementation with certain substances. This book with help you take your well-being and health into your own hands and learn all the essential information about the doses and uses of our best nutritional supplements.

      Vitamin D3

      Vitamin D3 deficiency is currently the most common vitamin deficiency disease in our latitudes. Until recently, there was little awareness about vitamin D3. Depression, fatigue, and weakness – typical symptoms of deficiency – were simply assumed to be psychological impairments, and patients’ vitamin D3 levels were rarely considered.

      Thankfully, this attitude is gradually changing. Even though the health insurance still does not cover vitamin D3 testing, and patients typically have to bring up the possibility of D3 deficiency in consultation, many people now know about the importance of vitamin D3 and are starting to take their health into their own hands.

      Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is actually the biologically active form of a hormone. It is required in several metabolic processes and affects 3,000 genes in our body. There are many diseases in which vitamin D3 deficiency is involved. In everything from autism and heart disease to diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or cancer, many studies have shown that an adequate supply of vitamin D3 alleviates or even prevents many diseases - including many chronic ones.

      Vitamin D3 is derived from cholesterol only when skin is exposed to sunlight. We develop a deficiency if we spend too little time in the sun in the summer months.

      Fortunately, vitamin D3 treatment is simple, inexpensive and risk-free. In addition, vitamin D3 storage can be replenished within a few days. High-dose vitamin D3 treatment often leads to an almost miraculously speedy resolution of symptoms.

      Vitamin D3 brings the sun’s energy into your cells

      What are the causes of vitamin D3 deficiency?

      When we consider the conditions under which the human organism has evolved over many millennia, we see that we have moved far away from our original way of life. Our ancestors were always on the move, hunting, securing their homes, and gathering plants. Many thousands of years later, they started cultivating their fields or keeping livestock. While performing these activities, they were out in the open air and were typically exposed to sunlight from morning to evening. Even though they were unable to produce vitamin D3 in the winter due to the lack of sunlight, they had stored enough over the summer to carry them through the long winter.

      Today, things look very different, because we spend a large proportion of our time within closed rooms - even in the summer. We usually get far too little sunlight and natural light. But our bodily needs have biologically evolved over a very long time and are still the same as they were thousands of years ago. No wonder, then, that vitamin D3 deficiency is this prevalent in today’s world!

      When we do go outside, our vitamin D levels aren’t affected much, because we’ve come to think of the sun as a very dangerous thing over the past few decades. We have lost sight of the healing powers of the sun. When it’s spring, experts regularly remind us to use high SPF-lotions at the slightest sun exposure. However, this prevents vitamin D3 from forming in the skin as sunscreen blocks the UVB radiation that is, in fact, the first catalyst of vitamin D3 production.

      However, we only receive this UVB radiation in our latitudes between April and September, when the sun is over 50 degrees above the horizon. And if it is cloudy or if there is heavy air pollution – as is the case in many large cities – far less radiation actually reaches us, even in the summer. So it is quite possible to get a good tan from sunbathing in UVA radiation (which causes no vitamin D3 formation), while still suffering from a lack of vitamin D3.

      To put it bluntly: spending a lot of time in the sunlight, without protection, can undoubtedly be harmful. But as with many things, this is about getting the right amount: too much sun is just as harmful as no sun. All in all, we all receive far too little sun exposure, so there is little chance of stimulating vital vitamin D3 formation in our skin. Natural daylight is also important to our health and wellbeing, as it regulates important hormones.

      Who in particular needs vitamin D3?

      Smokers need more vitamin D3 than non-smokers. In addition, there are a few medications such as anti-epileptic drugs that can disrupt vitamin D3 metabolism.

      The activation of vitamin D3 may be reduced in people exposed to heavy metals, as is increasingly common today.

      Barn door vitamin D3 deficiency is often exhibited by dark-skinned people from Africa or the Middle East who live in our latitudes. Because they are genetically adapted to an area where there is a lot more sunshine than here, their skin generally produces less vitamin D3. Almost all of them suffer from severe vitamin D3 deficiency. Even Muslim women hardly get exposed to the sun.

      If infants are never allowed to sunbathe for a few minutes without sunscreen, they will not have enough vitamin D3.

      Senior citizens in nursing homes almost all have a marked vitamin D3 deficiency, since they hardly get into the sun, and because vitamin D3 synthesis is reduced in old age. Last year, I once asked a caregiver at a home about vitamin D3 provision. She told me that a few people would get vitamin D3 from their families, while the other residents all had a severe shortage. The supply of vitamin D3 is unfortunately not included in the standard home care package.

      The most common symptoms

      The most common symptoms of vitamin D3 deficiency are

      • listlessness, lack of energy, constant exhaustion, low mood

      • disturbed nervous function, sleep disturbances, restlessness, inner restlessness, difficulty concentrating

      • headache, migraine

      • muscular cramps (calf cramps), muscles twitches and tremors (eyelid spasms), muscle weakness

      • osteoporosis and pain due to bone softening and deformation, joint pain

      • coordination impairment, unsteady gait

      • circulatory and perfusion disorders, cold hands and feet

      Musculoskeletal function is dependent on adequate calcium intake and supply. With a vitamin D3 deficiency, the calcium supply to the muscles is impaired and the muscle cells that need calcium cannot start properly. This is experienced as exhaustion and severe fatigue.

      Nerve cells, like muscle cells, are also activated by calcium. Lack of calcium due to vitamin D3 deficiency limits cognitive function. This leads to insomnia, fatigue, concentration problems, restlessness, inner restlessness, and cognitive decline. Of course calcium intake also needs to be sufficient, but muscle weakness is usually due to vitamin D3 deficiency as opposed to an isolated calcium deficiency.

      The diet should also not be too acidic, to prevent excessive renal excretion of calcium. Fruits, vegetables and salads are best suited to meet the calcium requirements; furthermore, they are alkaline forming foods. Dairy products also contain a lot of calcium, but because they make the body acidic, more calcium is excreted than is consumed. In addition, milk causes osteoporosis and is carcinogenic, as detailed in the book The China Study. Dairy products
