TWT: The Missing CoFactors for Absorbing Vitamin D3

By now we all know the immune & metabolic benefits of taking vitamin D3 on a daily basis if we’re not maintaining a tan…

However, did you know that you could be absorbing more than double the vitamin D each day by making minor changes as to when you take your daily D3?

Plus, there are potential downsides to supplementing with Vitamin D3 if done incorrectly, which is why I want to help you easily navigate away from those side effects and instead enjoy all the immune, metabolic, blood sugar, hormones, and many other benefits of using Vitamin D3 safely…

So for all the details tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2083 for the missing cofactors for absorbing vitamin D3 – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Timing is Everything

Vitamin D3 should be taken during the 1st half of the day in order to not disturb your sleep cycle and the hormone, melatonin.

2. Take With Fat

Vitamin D3 is 1 of 4 fat-soluble vitamins and should be taken with a meal that includes fat in order to improve absorption.

3. Negating Side Effects

On today’s show, I talk about over a half dozen cofactors to improve absorption and one of those is K2. This other fat-soluble vitamin will move the vitamin D3 out of the arteries and into the bones and tissues where it belongs. (Vitamin K2 is already included in the DNS shake.)
