So, hiding INDOORS was precisely the right thing if you want to DIE.
Important new data on vitamin D supplements in the fight against CV.
My Vitamin D supplement is Florida Keys sunshine. About 4-6 hours a day outside!
I’ve been taking 10,000 units/day of D-3 for 4yrs, along w/ 25 other Rxs/ OTCs, on Drs’ orders.
I’ve been on 16000 IUs (8 little gelcaps) per day for a year. My D level is 104, right at high (not dangerous) level, though medicine has no idea what toxic levels are for humans. It’s the closest thing to a fountain of youth.
I have to thank Jim Rob, FreeRepublic, and the people contributing here for teaching me 3 things as Covid-19 was starting in America.
1. Most Americans have a Vitamin D deficiency
2. Fat people have a worse deficiency because Vitamin D is fat soluble
3. Vitamin D is necessary for a healthy immune system to combat disease
Two months ago I bough some Vitamin D with K2, and have been taking 5,000 IU every other day. Many people take it 5,000 IU every day, but it seems like a lot. I know some doctors say you need 4,000-6,000 IU daily, and some say that is too much.
As a fat person, should I be taking 5,000 IU daily? I still can’t figure it out
But boy oh boy! I am sure grateful for FreeRepublic and grateful to the knowlegeable people here who taught me I should take Vitamin D supplements with K2 for my vitamin deficiency.
This is important even if Covid 19 goes away. I will be taking Vitamin D supplements for life, so thank you all so very very much.
I read this here 10 years ago, my SO and I have been taking 10,000 units daily ever since and have not been sick at all. I'm 68.
PLENTY of vitamin D for YEARS!

“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.
Bkmrk
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.
10K units of Vitamin D for me every day, along with Zinc, B-Complex and C. If I end up dying of COVID, it won’t be because I didn’t take steps to build up my immune system.
There is an interesting app called DMinder that helps calculate how much Vitamin D you are absorbing from the sun in a given period based on a variety of factors including location, UV index, altitude, skin exposure, duration of exposure, etc. It is amazing how much Vitamin D your body can create in a relatively short time this time of year (and how little we get here in the Northeast much of the rest of the year).
High levels of D³ helps prevent prostate cancer. It also helps slow down the progression of metastatic prostate cancer, like I have.
D³ level was 27 when I was diagnosed. I take 12,000 iu twice per day, and it keeps my level at close to 100. After almost six years, my PSA is undetectable. There is no cure, yet, but i am planning on being around for it.
Fortunately, I’ve been taking 2000 units of Vitamin D3 per day for the last 6 months or so.
(That's just great. We're going to have a run on these vitamins starting in August 2020. 🙄)
