Please consider checking your vitamin D levels, if in doubt of getting enough.

The current Upper Tolerable Limit is set at 2,000 IU, but it was quite a bit higher just a couple years back.

There are interesting numbers, convincing numbers, and compelling numbers. This falls into the latter category. If this study can be replicated it is no less than malpractice to fail to supplement at-risk patients with D.

I wonder if this is why they told us to slather our kids with sunscreen if they even thought of going out into the sun. Another bunch of crap I never went along with.

I have been taking 10,000 units of Vitamin D a day. Just had a blood work up and I will see the doctor this Tuesday for the results. One of the things he is looking at is my Vitamin D level. It will be interesting to see where I stand. By the way I am 78 years old.

I take 10,000 Its daily in winter, 5,000 in summer

had my level drawn last week: 78. Perfect

I also take K2 - extremely important (as well as magnesium)

I take 50,000 units of D2 (plant based) once a week. Had a really low vitamin D level (in the teens) before starting about six months ago, not sure where it is now.

generally, higher doses of D3 are safe because only the D1 form is the active form, and the body must convert D3 to D2 and then D2 to D1, and the conversion from D2 to D1 is tightly controlled by parathyroid hormone ...

it’s very difficult to increase vitamin D levels, and higher doses are necessary for a fairly long time are generally required ... 10,000 units D3 daily is generally safe ...

In fall of 2020, my husband and I started taking 5000 IU’s of VitD3 and Zinc. A year later, in Sept of 2021, my daughter-in-law’s dr had her taking 5000 IUs VitD3 and zinc. My son started late November 2021. At Thanksgiving of that year we all got Covid. My young healthy DIL recovered first. Me - 66 and overweight not on any medications - and my husband, who is thin with congestive heart failure, had it a bit rough for two weeks but did ok. The one who had the worst case was my son, who is young (38 yrs old no other health problems)who had just started taking the VitD3. We all recovered with no hospitalizations and continue to take the VitD3.

My primary physician did not want to test my Vitamin D level because I would not go along with her “safe and effective” propaganda and get vaccinated, so she was snotty. But I insisted. When my tests came in, guess what? She told me my results were normal, but according to this article, they were borderline low.

I’m now casting about for a new doctor. Why would any doctor resist testing an older female for vitamin D deficiency at any time, covid or no covid? And why does she not know what is a proper range of blood levels? Vitamin D deficiency is a precursor to breast cancer and all kinds of other diseases.

There is a very good app called Dminder that helps track your vitamin D levels, particularly from exposure the sun.

There have been several instances where patients were on 50,000 units of Vitamin D3 a day for one week. The sweet spot is 4,000 units daily. Our family has been taking 5,000 units for 18 months… along with zinc, and Quercitin. No shots. No masks. So far, no Covid.

We have 40 tabs each of 6 and 12 mg tablets of Ivermectin in reserve.
