Further evidence that vitamin D might protect against severe COVID-19 disease and death (“strong correlation”)

The current Upper Tolerable Limit for Vitamin D supplements has been brought down from the prior 10,000 IU to 4,000 IU. You can get unlimited Vitamin D and some other cofactors from sunlight exposure, without consideration of the Upper Daily Limit.

Since Vitamin D has a long half-life in the blood, you could supplement it some days and not others, or take fairly more on occasion, while your body averages the amount out, over time. For instance, I used to take 10,000 IU a day, but now take 5,000 IU a day for four days and often skip the fifth day of it.

Going over 4,000 IU can be fine for many people, as the Upper Tolerable Limit is computed for the point at which anyone with any issue with a substance might first start seeing a toxic reaction.

Getting your blood tested for Vitamin D would be your best source of actual knowledge as to how well your body is converting it for use.

If having any questions, plenty of medical websites can provide more information. In the meantime, please consider supplementing Vitamin D for a great many reasons, if not getting outside without protection from the sun for 15-30 minutes a day.

Particularly ironic is the fact that they tried to lock people up and keep them from getting any sun - and hence Vitamin D.

My husband and I take it daily!

More information the Biden regime will hide from the Outer Circle.

Been in our regular daily dosages. We have been around a LOT of unknown groups of folks so our exposure level is fairly high. No vaxxes as of now and no intention of getting them simply because we don’t want them. Like the yearly flu shots that we don’t get.

[hsmomx3]

We do, too...4,000 IU’s per day.

I don’t take a vitamin D supplement but I am a big milk drinker. Is there enough vitamin D in milk to make a difference? I certainly don’t think I have a deficiency in this regard.

Take it every day, along with C, zinc, and a host of other old-guy pills that aren’t blue.

Do you think this could have something to do as to why Africa has been less affected than other parts of the world? Also hydroxychloroquine is commonly used there to prevent malaria (which is a big killer there).

Interesting. My wife and I take 10,000 units a day. I also walk 3 times a day so there is also that source.

Same here.

Same here. We also have Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine on hand if we start to get Covid symptoms.

I'm still at 10,000 IU D3, 500 mg K2, 200 mg magnesium citrate daily. I live at N42 latitude and work out of my basement, so sunlight contributes little to my available vitamin D levels. While living in San Diego, I employed the standard Walmart 5000IU D3 gels. Short sleeve shirts and some outdoor activity was part of the daily lifestyle then.

Ditto here, although it’s D3+K ... check it out ... Vitamin K in conjunction with D really helps the circulatory system. Cheers!
