Many people notice major improvements on the carnivore diet, including reduced symptoms of autoimmune disease, less joint pain, improved mood, and better overall health.

Although beef, chicken, pork, and other meats are relatively low in vitamin D, the carnivore diet can still help correct vitamin D deficiency. Simply taking more vitamin D doesn’t always solve the problem.

Vitamin D depends on several important cofactors, including magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, retinol, and cholesterol, the raw material used to make vitamin D in the body.

Vitamin D enters your cells through the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D receptor resistance is very common, often caused by obesity, insulin resistance, and poor gut health.

Meat is a potent source of highly bioavailable nutrients, especially the cofactors needed for vitamin D. Many plant foods contain antinutrients that can interfere with nutrient absorption.Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, so inadequate cholesterol intake can also impact vitamin D production.

The carnivore diet helps to reduce gut inflammation, increase autophagy, improve bile flow, reduce SIBO, and eliminate candida overgrowth, all of which support better vitamin D absorption and overall health.
