PLENTY of vitamin D for YEARS!

[granite]

I have been taken 10,000 units daily and my level is 87. I do not get enough sun because I burn easily and sunscreen blocks the benefit. My doctor said 87 is high but not a problem and within the limits.

If you know your level and desired level, there’s a way to calculate a weight-based dose. If you’ve never looked, GrassrootsHealth has a lot of info on their website. I believe that’s where I saw the dose calculator.

I’ve done their fingerstick test and got my level up to 70, which I prefer during this pandemic.

[GnuThere]

+1 to those.
Same here.

Less effective the older you get.

“More than 100 micrograms for adults and children from age 11”

I take 375 micrograms per day. The main reason people say vitamins don’t work is because they listen to people like this and don’t take enough of whatever vitamin it is to make any difference.

Zinc, vitamin D3, vitamin C, and others, every day, keeps the coronavirus away.

No, I am not a nutritionist, no I don’t play one on TV, but I can be one on the Internet.

375 micrograms (15,000 IU) per day.

The Antibiotic Vitamin (Antiviral Too)

[Salamander]

Some FReeper said to take it a couple years back and I have been.

So far, so good.

Examine.com is a great resource for supplements. Here’s their vitamin D page:

B12 liquid -—> methylcobalamin is what you want.
Tablets do not work . It has to mix with your saliva to work .You hold it under your tongue for max benefit .

15k IU per day for me, blood level about 90-95 ng/mL. Definitely does lots of good. Google Dr John Cannell or Vitamin D council. He claims 100 to 130 is a great range. Be sure to take it with synergistic nutrients such as vit K2-mk7 and magnesium.

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.

I’ve been taking D3 vitamins since the epidemic started (though probably not necessary since I work outside anyway). Might it explain why blacks are more susceptible to the disease since they produce less Vitamin D than whites.

5000 day for 17 years. No flu or colds in that time. I doubled up when the CCPV was known to have reached America. I probably had the virus along with my wife, daughter, SIL and grandkids in early March. SIL has tested positive for antibodies. All of us felt as if we had something mild. It only lasted a few days for the others and I only had dry cough and sniffles for a day.None of us felt we needed to annoy the doctor. CCPV seems to have gone around here previously in late January and early February. Many other people were mildly sick with odd symptoms. Now I hear that perhaps there were two bouts of the disease before we got it bad enough here to be named in late March and April. Now I hear that yes, there were earlier rounds of a milder form of it and that the current "upsurge" is an effect of much more widespread testing and is much milder.

If mostly this thing is an annoyance rather than a fearsome pestilence then it is going to be known to affect only a very few folks unless everybody gets tested and lots of those desultory coughs and sniffles turn out to be the Dread Disease itself.

[Bethaneidh]

I regularly take 5k per day. No ill effects.

[Mouton]

My last test was in normal range but my doc suggested I begin a 2-5IU supplement in January. So far so good. I also quaff a liter of tonic water for the small quanine dose and take an “over 50” vitamin dose plus zinc. So far so good.

I get Rx Vit D because I don’t have colon to absorb it. Sun helps but not in winter
