How much D3 and k2 are you taking?

D3, K2, and magnesium work together to build bone. Collagen builds muscle and skin. Folate is the active form of B6; it promotes healing and helps build red blood and bone cells.

It may take up 10k or more IU of D3 to rebuild bone, along with 100 mcg of k2 and 400-600 mg of magnesium/day. 600-800 mg of calcium and 800 mcg of folate is also very helpful.

Vitamin A works in synergy with D3 to build skin and bone and should be taken in balance with D3 at half the amount. That's why cod liver oil is recommended because pure cod liver oil contains naturally balanced amounts of vitamin A and D3. Liver is also a good source of natural vitamin A.

But it is also essential that the correct form of these supplements be taken otherwise it's not only a waste of time and money but can be detrimental.

D3 - NOT D2 or prescription vitamin D which is D2
magnesium - chelated form, in divided doses
calcium - calcium citrate NOT calcium carbonate
folate - Folate 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid NOT folic acid
vitamin A - only from fish liver oil or from eating liver. Do not take beta carotene, it is not true vitamin A. And be very careful of which cod liver oil you purchase as some brands replace natural vitamin A with man-made vitamin A which can build in your system and become toxic.

It may take 4-6 months to see results.
