Protocol: Vitamin D Wellmess

Support FB group: Vitamin D Wellness 

Looked at supplements recommended and chose the following:
Live Conscious K2+D3 Softgels (5000 IU D3, 100mcg K2)
Doctors Best D4 Softgels (5000 IU D3)
Your Supplements Magnesium Glycinate (80mg elemental magnesium)

D3 needs the K2 to metabolise.  D3 also pulls magnesium, so magnesium needs supplementing. 

Magnesium needs to be taken at least one hour apart from a calcium rich meal (and four hours away from Thyroid medication)

PPIs can block mineral uptake

Prior to starting protocol: end of December started eating kefir fermented vegetables and drinking approx 300ml of Water Kefir a day (Both from Tibico) .    I started to wake up fewer times in the night and began having vivid dreams for the first time in several years.  I began to space out my PPI medication so I wasn't taking it every day.    In january I started to make my own water kefir and am drinking about 500ml a day. I'm continuing to eat the water kefir fermented veg every couple of days.

I had blood tests done around 8th January (Blue Horizon thyroid, including Vitamin D, B, Magnesium, etc;  Gettested Amino Acid test (I didn't realise the Kefir was likely to affect this) in anticipation of supplementing my diet with Amino Acid tablets.

Blue Horizon showed that my Folate level is very low, so I need to look at addressing this.  However, I need to get the Vitamin D protocol get established before I add anything else.
