Fortunately, I’ve been taking 2000 units of Vitamin D3 per day for the last 6 months or so.
“Yes, I also take 200 mg with food of vitamin K2.
“Other benefits: reduction in age related joint pain, exercise stamina and incredibly, regaining height shrinkage.”
We could use a FR natural health list. I am not aware of one now.
A personal anecdote. I regained 3/4 of an inch between 2017 and 2019 using a level at home.
Wow. How much D3 do you take?
Check out this link and list from FReeper "little jeremiah": "Natural Health"
I recently visited Chincoteague, VA in Accomack Co. For rural VA, the Covid and death rates were high, mostly from illness of chicken plant workers. They are mostly black and Latino, and working indoors all day. The plant managers would be smart to give them 5,000IU of D3 twice a day, and then after a month taper down to once a day. Save lives, save medical costs, save the company money.
Pro vitamin TV doctors recommend having the blood test. If below a good reading of 60 start supplementing with 5000 or 10,000 IU until level is up. Read of one test on value of D3 for some illness and they counted people at 10 or below as deficient, and 20 to 30 as healthy controls. Did not find much difference in health patterns. Dumb scientists! One group of seriously deficient and another (control) of sub-clinically deficient. And then they wonder why there is little difference in study results. It was also reported that D is involved in about 1/10th of all our genetically controlled internal systems, 2000 I think they said. Definitely worth protecting. I consider VItamins C and D3, and zinc as the backbone for Covid protection, but a good not too strong multivitamin/mineral too. Vitamin K2, B12, and CoQ10 are also good.
Two years ago my cataracts had gotten so bad that when I faced the sun in the afternoon I was completely blinded. Also when night driving, light rays shot out from street lights all the way to the ground. I started taking Astaxanthin 4 to 8 mg. per day, and Lutien 20 to 40 mg per day. Now when I face the western sun there is a big yellow blob, but I can see the surrounding trees and buildings. Also, the rays from street lights only flare out about 5 or 10 feet. I will be 82 next month and think I will avoid having cataract surgery. Today I had a bad fall when I was pushing a small grocery cart down the aisle and skidded to flat on my back in a pool of water that had leaked out from under the ice cream freezer. After spending 5 minutes lying there and recovering my normal sensations I determined nothing was broken or even badly bruised, rolled over onto my hands and knees and stood up. I spent another 15 minutes resting in a chair while the manager and I filled out the incident report, then took my copy and wheeled groceries to car and drove home. Tomorrow I think I will have a few aches and minor bruises, but hopefully, thanks to good nutrition I will not have any serious consequences from what could have been a serious accident.
Very sorry for your fall. Take care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon.
glad you’re ok, will pray for you
Glad you’re OK!
Yes, I think doctors are unaware the traditional Vit D ranges are too low, so it’s no surprise some studies haven’t shown benefit.
Also, Vit D screening should be done occasionally on everyone, but they never consider it part of an annual checkup except maybe for postmenopausal women.
Meat and poultry workers would be a great population to do testing.
Thanks for that info.
At the store there were 3 types:
Regular pills, Time-released tablets and cherry flavored lozenge under your tongue kind.
I bought the time-release one.
ugh
gonna be back at the store tomorrow, I’ll pick up the right kind.
I do 5k fall and winter and 2k spring and summer since I’m outside a lot. Normally skip a day or two a week for “normalization.” Adding K2 this year when I do 5k.
Sorry to hear about your fall but what a relief that you did not suffer any serious injuries!
Thanks for the info. on the vitamins :)
(That's just great. We're going to have a run on these vitamins starting in August 2020. 🙄)
