Most people—and even many doctors—don’t realize:
The standard blood test for vitamin D measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] — a storage form, not the active form your body actually uses.
This test reflects:
- How much supplemental D3 you’re taking
- Or how much sunlight your skin has converted
But it says nothing about:
- Magnesium status, which is essential to activate vitamin D
- Whether it’s being converted into 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D — the active hormonal form
- Whether it’s being properly balanced by Vitamin A and Vitamin K2
- Whether your body is using it effectively in your immune, hormonal, skeletal, and neurological systems
That’s why you might have a “normal” vitamin D test — yet still feel exhausted, get sick easily, suffer mood swings, experience hormonal chaos, or even develop soft tissue calcification (calcium building up in arteries or organs).
Scientific Evidence Behind This:
- Magnesium is critical for the activation of vitamin D.
Without enough magnesium, vitamin D remains in its storage form, unable to regulate calcium or support immune function.
Reference: “Magnesium, Vitamin D Status and Mortality: Results from US NHANES 2001–2006 and NHANES III” — Deng X. et al., BMC Medicine, 2013. - Over-supplementing vitamin D without magnesium can worsen deficiency symptoms.
Supplementing D without adequate magnesium increases soft tissue calcification and disrupts calcium regulation.
Reference: Rude RK et al., “Magnesium Deficiency: A Cause of Heterogeneous Disease in Humans” (Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1998). - Vitamin A and K2 balance the actions of vitamin D.
Taking vitamin D alone, especially at high doses, without retinol (A) and K2, can lead to calcium being deposited in arteries and joints instead of bones.
Reference: Masterjohn, C., “On the Trail of the Elusive X-Factor: A Sixty-Two-Year-Old Mystery Finally Solved,” Wise Traditions, 2007. - Forrest Maready’s research (especially in The Moth in the Iron Lung and his work on cod liver oil) explains that vitamin A from cod liver oil historically protected children from bone deformities and respiratory diseases—not synthetic vitamin D alone.
A Better Way to Nourish Vitamin D Pathways:
- Cod Liver Oil:
One of the only whole-food sources naturally providing:- Vitamin D
- Retinol (Vitamin A)
- Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA)
- In the correct ancestral ratios
- Magnesium Chloride (Transdermal):
- Supports activation of Vitamin D into its hormonal form
- Regulates calcium transport
- Reduces systemic inflammation
- 80% absorption rate through the skin without burdening the gut
Together, they restore the entire pathway—without the guesswork, without synthetic isolates, and without creating nutrient imbalances that damage long-term health.
The Real Truth:
You’re not “low” on vitamin D just because of a lab number.
You’re low because modern nutrition has severed you from ancestral wisdom—the way your body was designed to absorb and use nutrients: whole, balanced, and synergistic.
