To help your body regulate calcium and prevent it from “clumping” in the wrong places (like your ear canals), these three nutrients are essential:
- Vitamin D3: Acts as the key that allows your body to absorb calcium. In chronic cases, high-dose therapy (10,000 to 20,000 IU) is sometimes used under strict medical supervision to reset the system.
- Vitamin K2: This is the “traffic cop.” It ensures that the calcium you absorb goes into your bones and teeth rather than accumulating in soft tissues or the inner ear.
- Magnesium: Required for the activation of Vitamin D. Without magnesium, Vitamin D remains stored and inactive.
Physical Relief: Repositioning the Crystals
Nutrients help with long-term prevention, but physical maneuvers provide immediate relief by “dumping” the crystals back into the part of the ear where they belong (the utricle).
