SENIORS, You're Taking Vitamin D the WRONG Way! (Doctor Explains)

If you have been taking Vitamin D for years but your blood pressure is still high, you might be making a critical mistake that neutralizes the benefit of the supplement entirely.

In this video, Dr. Claire Whitmore breaks down the 5 most common errors seniors make with Vitamin D. Most people know they need it, but almost no one knows that taking it in the morning might be spiking your cortisol and preventing your blood pressure from "dipping" at night.

We reveal the exact "Cocktail" you need to take (D3 + K2 + Omega 3) and the specific time of day that turns this supplement into a powerful tool for arterial health.

In this video, you will discover:

The "Morning Trap": Why taking Vitamin D with breakfast activates your sympathetic nervous system and keeps BP high.

The "Calcium Paradox": Why taking Vitamin D without Vitamin K2 sends calcium to your arteries instead of your bones.

The "D2 vs. D3" Scam: Why prescription Vitamin D is often the synthetic form that barely works.

The Absorption Hack: Why you must eat this one specific fat with your pill to actually absorb it.

Scientific References & Research
The following peer-reviewed journals and studies support the protocols regarding Vitamin D forms, co-factors, and cardiovascular health discussed in this video:

1. Vitamin D3 vs. Vitamin D2 (Efficacy)

Journal: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Study: Comparison of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 supplementation in raising serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status (Tripkovic et al.)

Key Finding: Vitamin D3 is significantly more effective at raising serum Vitamin D concentrations compared to D2, which is often the form prescribed by doctors.

2. Vitamin K2 and Arterial Calcification

Journal: Thrombosis and Haemostasis (The Rotterdam Study)

Study: Dietary Intake of Menaquinone Is Associated with a Reduced Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

Key Finding: High intake of Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone) is associated with reduced arterial calcification and lower risk of coronary heart disease, a benefit not seen with Vitamin K1.

3. Vitamin D and Blood Pressure Reduction

Journal: Hypertension (American Heart Association) / The Lancet

Study: Vitamin D supplementation and blood pressure in patients with hypertension

Key Finding: Correcting Vitamin D deficiency has a measurable effect on lowering systolic blood pressure, particularly in elderly populations with hypertension.

4. Bioavailability with Fat (Omega-3s)

Journal: Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Study: Dietary fat increases vitamin D-3 absorption (Mulligan et al.)

Key Finding: Vitamin D is fat-soluble; taking it with a meal containing fat (specifically beneficial fats like Omega-3s) significantly increases absorption rates compared to taking it on an empty stomach.
