Over 60+ Frequent Cramps? Solve Muscle Spasms With Vitamin D + Minerals | Dr. Emily

Imagine taking vitamin D every single day—trusting it’s protecting you—yet your knees still ache, your energy feels off, and your scan still shows thinning bones. Here’s the surprise: after 60, the issue is often how you take it, not whether you take it.

In this video, you’ll learn how to make vitamin D actually work in the body you live in now—so it supports bones, muscle, and real-life strength instead of quietly going to waste.

What you’ll get:

Why the whole vitamin D “chain” slows after 60 (skin production, digestion, liver/kidney activation)
Why vitamin D is more than a bone vitamin—there are receptors in muscle cells, immune cells, and beyond
The 3 questions that fix most frustration: Are you taking enough? Are you absorbing it? Can your body use it?
Mistake #1: taking it with the wrong meal (it’s fat-soluble, so timing with healthy fat matters)
Mistake #2: staying stuck on outdated low doses—your best dose depends on your blood level, weight, sun, and meds
Mistake #3: being casual instead of consistent—steady daily intake beats random mega-doses
The “missing partners” that make it click: magnesium to activate it, K2 to guide calcium, and smarter calcium sources
Choosing D3 vs D2, when liquids/softgels help, and why a simple 25(OH)D test beats guessing
A calm weekly routine: breakfast support foods, take D3 with your biggest meal, add short sunlight, and pair with light movement so muscle performance can improve
