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
