In this video, we’re going to talk about the side effects of vitamin D and how they can actually occur because of a magnesium deficiency. 

Side effects of vitamin D:
• Headaches
• Insomnia 
• Restlessness 
• Muscle cramps 
• Palpitations
• Anxiety
• Constipation

Magnesium is needed for vitamin D to be absorbed. Magnesium helps lower the side effects of taking vitamin D, even though the side effects are not from vitamin D—they’re from a magnesium deficiency. Most people have a subclinical magnesium deficiency. 

Magnesium:

• Is a cofactor for 300 enzymes 
• Is involved in protein synthesis 
• Helps regulate blood sugars
• Is involved in energy production
• Is involved in making glutathione 

The only side effect of vitamin D (large amounts without vitamin K2) could be hypercalcemia symptoms. But this is very rare.

Magnesium-rich foods:

• Leafy greens (at least 7 cups per day)
• Pumpkin seeds
• Nuts

What you can do in this situation is take some magnesium with your vitamin D, and that may help these symptoms clear up.

There are some cases where vitamin D won’t work, and that can be because of:

• A problem with the gallbladder
• Liver damage
• Kidney damage
• Not taking vitamin K2
• Gastric bypass
• GI issues
