10000 units is the least expensive way to buy D3. Take this 3-4 times a week if one daily is too much for you. This one can be found at Amazon, though last time I bought two at Walmart on line.

Israel scientists say they have gathered the most convincing evidence to date that increased vitamin D levels can help COVID-19 patients reduce the risk of serious illness or death.
Researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center say that the vitamin has such a strong impact on disease severity that they can predict how people would fare if infected based on nothing more than their ages and vitamin D levels.
Lacking vitamin D significantly increases danger levels, they concluded in newly peer-reviewed research published Thursday in the journal PLOS One.
The study is based on research conducted during Israel’s first two waves of the virus, before vaccines were widely available, and doctors emphasized that vitamin supplements were not a substitute for vaccines, but rather a way to keep immunity levels from falling.
Vitamin D deficiency is endemic across the Middle East, including in Israel, where nearly four in five people are low on the vitamin, according to one study from 2011. By taking supplements before infection, though, the researchers in the new Israeli study found that patients could avoid the worst effects of the disease.
“We found it remarkable, and striking, to see the difference in the chances of becoming a severe patient when you are lacking in vitamin D compared to when you’re not,” said Dr. Amiel Dror, a Galilee Medical Center physician and Bar Ilan researcher who was part of the team behind the study.
He noted that his study was conducted pre-Omicron, but said that the coronavirus doesn’t change fundamentally enough between variants to negate vitamin D effectiveness.
“What we’re seeing when vitamin D helps people with COVID infections is a result of its effectiveness in bolstering the immune systems to deal with viral pathogens that attack the respiratory system,”
Yes, adequate vitamin D is important, but people are going to start OD’ing on the stuff. More is better, but too much is not.
What amount would you say is the max?
32 ng/ml is the ideal level. In experiments, increasing it further doesn’t benefit.
Once the blood level reaches 32 ng/ml, the body starts deactivating vitamin d.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone, and very beneficial in creating immunity. It is cheap, so take every day.
I believe there were also some stats that said blacks usually had lower Vit D counts than whites.
“32 ng/ml is the ideal level. In experiments, increasing it further doesn’t benefit.”
That’s the conventional thinking and it’s what the cabal wants you to believe, but it’s wrong
Levels should be at least 50 to prevent viral infection.
A big Bowl of Fruit Loops Daily with Whole Moloko D!

Horrorshow,droogie!
Here are the study results:
Results
“Of 1176 patients admitted, 253 had records of a 25(OH)D level prior to COVID-19 infection. A lower vitamin D status was more common in patients with the severe or critical disease (<20 ng/mL [87.4%]) than in individuals with mild or moderate disease (<20 ng/mL [34.3%] p < 0.001). Patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) were 14 times more likely to have severe or critical disease than patients with 25(OH)D ≥40 ng/mL (odds ratio [OR], 14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4 to 51; p < 0.001).”
It may be that the worst effects of Covid could have been avoided by Vitamin D supplementation.
“Once the blood level reaches 32 ng/ml, the body starts deactivating vitamin d.”
total bullshit on both accounts:
1. D3, the dietary form is NOT the active form: D1 is the active form, so D3 has to be converted to D1 in the body, and this occurs by first converting it to D2, which is then converted into D1, but D1 conversion is tightly controlled by parathyroid hormone, so it’s quite difficult to take too “dangerous” amounts of D3 ... because low D1 levels are difficult to raise, i know doctors who prescribe 50,000 units of D3 daily until levels are raised ...
2. NUMEROUS studies have shown that >50 ng/ml D3 offers numerous health benefits ...
4,000 mg daily is ideal.
Amazing the Human race survived all these millennia Without a guy in a White Jacket telling
Everyone what to eat and How Much !

We should have stayed in the Primordial Swamp,
A lot less Stressful.
Yup
I take 10000 D3 daily / K2 / magnesium. I get my D3 levels tested and they are at 75 ng/ml. I am shooting for 90 ng/ml. And no stinkin spike protein vaxxx for me! D3 is my vax, in a good way.
oops.... 4000 iu not mg

Been taking Carlsons Norwegian Cod Liver Oil every day for at least 20 years. I care very much where cod comes from, Norway has the cleanest waters. Expensive, but my MD prescribes it, which makes it a deductible medical expense.
My Health food store hs annual 35% off sale every year so I order 3 bottles for the price of two. I’m a very small person, so don’t ned to take tablespoon per day, teaspoon is enuff. And of course in summer,I sit out in the sun before 8 a.m. for 20 minutes, which gives same benefits.
Do it, my FRiends.
Yours is an idiotic assumption.
People working in the sun all day make way more vitamin d than they’d ever take from bottled supplements and they are not OD’ing from too much vitamin d. There is no epidemic of sunbathers or groundskeepers having vitamin d overdoses due to high sun exposures. Never in recorded history.
Most people are deficient in vitamin d. In the winter that deficiency increases. As you age, your body can’t utilize it as well as when you’re young, so you need more.
