Publisher's summary

Are you, a loved one, or a friend still suffering from a health issue after you have exhausted traditional healthcare options? Do you constantly feel fatigued or feel something is wrong but can’t figure out why? Do you wake up multiple times at night or have sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome? Are you overweight and always hungry and wonder why?

You might be surprised to learn all these problems may be the result of a deficiency of one substance that has been misunderstood since its discovery in 1939. That substance is vitamin D3.

While it is called a vitamin, D3 is really a hormone. It was first used to treat a childhood bone disease called rickets. Nearly all the research on the benefits of vitamin D3 has been done at doses that are 80 times lower than the optimal doses described in this audiobook. This groundbreaking audiobook is your opportunity to regain your health quickly, safely, and easily. In The Optimal Dose, Judson Somerville reveals how vitamin D3 saved his own life when all else failed and explains how this essential vitamin is key to finding answers to your own health questions and challenges.

Hit it on the head with being resilient to virus

I got this book as the result of reading/learning what I could about the link between Covid-19 infection and the seriousness of the sickness. There is a link -- several studies have shown that low Vit D correlates closely with ICU admission, the need for ventilation, and so forth. From what I've read, there have also been some interventional studies that have shown Vit D supplementation (through means that quickly raise the active form in the body) during the sickness can help curb many of the problems. Vit D seems to be an undervalued and essential nutrient!

After reading the book I started taking 5000 IU a day. Fearing that I might be overdoing it, I went and had it tested. I was at 21! That is after a MONTH at 5000 IU....which is at a level that my doctor says I'm gunna overdose?

It is true there is some bad information about this Vitamin out there, and after chasing down several of the peer reviewed links Dr. Somerville posted, I can see he has science backing his claims. I found it MOST interesting to see that the upper limit of D3 was set at 100, but that hyperkalemia doesn't start until much much higher.

I wonder what my body will feel like when I get out of the trench at 21? We shall see.....

This is a good read. I recommend the book.

Excellent research into Vitamin D

I've been aware of the unique nature of Vitamin D for nearly 10 years, it's amazing. Dr. Somerville presents thorough research that answered many questions I still had. I feel I have a much better understanding of Vitamin D after reading this relatively short book.

Vitamin D is life saver - Take Right Dose 30kIU

Author presents the benefit of Vitamin D optimal dose for a wide variety of health issues. His own story regarding multiple years of suffering and finally overcoming , was also very inspiring.

I was having Muscle Pain , Suboptimal sleep , Low T , Brain Fog and various health issues. Through Various health blogs and naturopathic doctors suggestion , I came to know that 600iu daily recommended dose is too low and right dose is atleast 10000iu. My own life changed after supplementing with vitamin D. I was taking 10000iu daily but test results showed that my vitamin d levels were just around normal (30nm/L). I started researching whether supplementing with much higher doses makes sense. This book teaches you , what is the right optimal dose. 30000iu.
This is such an pity that so many people suffer so many health issues , which all could be resolved by taking the optimal dose of vitamin D. Medical-pharma cartel doesn't want you to know this information and make money out of your ill health. If you are having the right Vitamin D levels , you are living a suboptimal life , there is no doubt about it.

Do yourself a favour and read about the miraclous results of taking optimal dose (30k IU) and start implementing it in your life.
