Overview

This video discusses a recent large-scale study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that found significant telomere-preserving effects from vitamin D3 supplementation. The speaker expresses surprise that this finding isn't widely reported in mainstream news, contrasting it with the media's focus on drugs and prescription medicines. The video also touches on the speaker's personal experience with vitamin D3, its combination with K2 and magnesium, and its potential role in reducing dementia risk, referencing a previous study.

Key takeaways

• A 4-year study involving 25,000 adults found that vitamin D3 supplementation preserved telomere length, effectively making participants appear to age about 3 years less in telomere length over that period.
• The study compared vitamin D3 to omega-3, with only vitamin D3 showing positive results for telomere length preservation.
• The speaker takes vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium, noting that vitamin D3 aids magnesium absorption and K2 is beneficial for arteries to prevent calcification.
• A previous study from two years prior indicated that vitamin D could reduce the risk of dementia by about 40%.
• The speaker advises starting vitamin D3 supplementation ideally before age 40-45 to preserve telomere length, as significant shortening can occur after this age.

The transcript mentions that vitamin D3 helps you absorb magnesium, and K2 is healthy for your arteries, implying they are taken together, especially when discussing the speaker's own supplementation regimen: "It's the same vitamin D3 that I take with K2 and magnesium from do not age. you take it with magnesium because if you're going to take magnesium, vitamin D3 helps you absorb magnesium. NK2 is healthy for your arteries so you don't get calcification by just taking vitamin D3 alone. So they all play nice together. They all work well together."
