The Kiva Black Seed Oil, cold pressed, gelcaps (1000 mg each) I have been taking are no longer available. How would you rank the Micro Ingredients Black Seed Oil 240 softgels, 1000 mg each also containing 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, versus Horbaach Black Seed Oil, cold pressed, softgels, 1000 mg?

I asked previously: Would a 1000 mg dose of purified squalene have more effective antiviral and anticancer effects than a similar dose of shark liver oil? And you answered: “This would be a superior choice to be taking for anyone concerned about malignancy because it would be more potent.” Is a 1000 mg daily dose of squalene safe to use as a routine supplement? Is that dose more appropriate for treating a known malignancy, and is so, what would be a safe routine prophylactic dose?

A viewer asks: “Being aware of Creator’s previous answers on Vitamin D3 supplementation I was shocked to discover a paper from 2014 “A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D”. The paper claims that the Recommended Daily Allowance advocated by the Institute of Medicine for Vitamin D was incorrectly calculated! In fact, analyzing the data correctly, nearly 9000 IUs per day are required to achieve target levels (600 IU per day is the USA recommended level). I was struck by how closely the 9000 IU figure matched Creator’s “daily doses of 5,000 to 10,000 IU vitamin D3 will rarely be harmful.” What is Creator’s perspective on this “miscalculation” coming to light?”

A British group reported recently that administration of vitamin D2, which is converted to vitamin D3 by the body, may be disadvantageous. A review of random controlled trials showed that taking vitamin D2 can lead to a decrease in vitamin D3 levels, the more active form generated by sunlight exposure. The research indicates that D2 supplementation may not only be less effective, but can also lead to lower concentrations of D3 in the circulation. [Emily I G Brown, et al. Effect of Vitamin D2 Supplementation on 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutr Rev, 2025 Sep 18:nuaf166.doi: 10.1093/nutrit/nuaf166]. Is this an accurate and meaningful assessment? What is most important for us to know?

A review article shows little or no benefit of supplementing patients with vitamin D3 for bone fractures (T. Gatt, A. Grech, and H. Arshad. The effect of Vitamin D supplementation for bone healing in fracture patients: a systematic review. Adv. Orthopedics Volume 2023, Article ID 6236045). However, the supplement doses of vitamin D3 were either low, 800-2000 IU daily, or quite high loading doses orally or systemically of 100,000 to 300,000 IU. Was their negative assessment justified or were the studies flawed? Would taking a 5000 to 10,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 daily, give significant benefit for healing bone fractures?

A systematic review of 416 medical journal articles affirmed a strong association between higher serum vitamin D levels and a lower risk of bladder, breast, colon, endometrial, esophageal, gallbladder, kidney, ovarian, pancreatic, rectal, stomach, and vulvar cancers, as well as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. The review also uncovered lower risks of metastasis and mortality from cancer in patients with higher levels of vitamin D. While vitamin D levels of 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) were adequate for bone and muscle health, reduction of cancer risk and mortality required levels greater than 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) and fell further with levels above 50 ng/ml (125 nmol/L). The review cautioned that studies showing no benefit for those taking less than 5,000 IU per day might be misleading. [Wimalawansa SJ. Vitamin D’s impact on cancer incidence and mortality: a systematic review. Nutrients. 2025 Jul 16;17(14):2333. Doi: 10.3390/nu17142333.] Is this a fair summary of vitamin D benefits for limiting incidence and severity of cancer?

You have told us that 5000 IU of vitamin D3 taken twice a day would be safe and helpful for many, many people. Is that enough to get serum levels in a useful range for cancer prevention?

Studies have shown that vitamin D levels have an inverted U-shaped curve, where low levels (<29.7 nmol/L) result in shortened telomeres on DNA, a sign of aging, but so do high levels of vitamin D (>95.9 nmol/L). Population-based studies and randomized clinical trials have shown a U- or J-shaped curve and suggested an increased risk of adverse outcomes in those with the highest serum Vitamin D levels, including falls, fractures, and frailty. Most studies have reported a higher risk in those participants with serum levels above 100 nmol/L. Are the deleterious effects noted in these studies caused by elevated vitamin D? If so, your support for taking 5,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily seems risky. What is most important for us to know?

A viewer asks: “What can you tell us about the benefits versus risk factors in taking the bone medication Evenity? Cost is high, but insurance can help. Can you tell us if it is highest and best to take this or if it would be better to continue LHP-DSMR healing requests without outside chemical interventions? Side effects with this drug are concerning.”

A viewer asks: “Source Creator, since the Scandinavian Formulas Shark Liver Oil sold by Vitacost doesn’t ship to Canada and is difficult to get here from that company for some strange reason, would this alternative, Bell Lifestyle products Shark Liver Oil, 120 Soft gels, be an effective alternative? It contains 500mg of shark liver oil, 117.5mg of squalene and other beneficial fatty acids per capsule. Would taking 1 or 2 a day be an effective antiviral comparable to the Vitacost one and the Broad Spectrum CBD Oil from Hempland USA?”

Is it safe and more beneficial to substitute a 1000 mg dose of squalene for the Cannabitol 5000 in our Antiviral Regimen with respect to having good antiviral as well as anticancer effects? I am concerned about how long the Cannabitol will be on the market, but do not want to make a change that gives poorer results unless it’s the only alternative. What is most important for us to know?

A viewer asks: “In the Divine Life Support webinar, Creator mentioned shark liver oil as a substitute for wide-spectrum hemp oil as an antiviral, and has anticancer effects. However, shark tissue can accumulate heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, and dioxins, and contaminant levels can be significant so the extraction method affects purity, potency, and safety. According to ChatGPT, a quality shark liver oil product should be standardized for alkylglycerols (AKGs) 15–30%, squalene 20–80%, and have omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) and be cold press or molecular distillation extracted. In the UK, are the products sold by metabolics.com, epigenetics-international.com, and misslamonique.co.uk safe and effective supplements?” What can Creator tell us?

Is it intentional that the majority of the squalene in the human body is secreted in sebum by sebaceous glands in the skin, our natural defensive barrier to environmental insults?
