I’ve been taking 5000ui of D with my multi vitiamin for over 2 months now. I feel great and haven’t caught any of the illnesses that have proliferated at work and home. My husband (yes we sleep in the same bed) has not given me 3 different cold and or flu bugs he has faught with in the same time frame. Usually I get sick along with the rest of my household. And I’ve never had a flu shot....
Hmmm....
I try to get everyone to take a vitamin and extra D, and they do sometimes. But I’m the only one that does it daily....
I also just added a OMEGA 3/6/9 gel pill to my daily.
During flu season I try, make that mostly haphazardly, to get on a vitamin regime including vitamin D3 (has to be the “3”). The recomendation was 3000-5000 during the H1N1 scare. I checked the medicine cabinet last month when there were outbreaks in Europe and Asia and we’re good to go. Knock on wood, it’s not hit here yet but if/when it does I’ll probably bump it up to 3000 and start filling up the little dosage containers for everyone again.
