Studies show an aggressive vitamin D campaign could have prevented nearly all COVID deaths

Should have mentioned that if you are taking the D3 supplements, you really should also be taking K2/MK7 so the D3 is absorbed properly (short version of a complicated subject).

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone): Found in plant foods like leafy greens.
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone): Found in animal foods and fermented foods

Quick search online. Dunno if fermented foods includes fermented beverages, but I'm good on that either way, make/eat a bunch of fermented stuff.

--> And except as your shadow is longer than you are tall. Also, for everyone who the BMI chart says is too short!

Anyone have an opinion on the merit or lack of in taking one weekly mega dose, 50,000iu of D3 vs. daily consumption of lower dose?

RE: how much D3 should you take each day to get above 50?

My physician recommends at least 5,000 IU of Vitamin D daily.

I prefer my Reserveratrol in a great tasting:

Pinot Noir

Resveratrol is strongly associated with red grapes and red wine made from grapes. Wines such as Malbec, Petite Sirah, St. Laurent, and Pinot Noir have the highest resveratrol content. Malbec grapes have the thickest skin and, therefore, the highest content of resveratrol.May 16, 2021

We probably need both sunshine and the D via our daily food and supplements.

One of the first acts from our government/Gruesome and his thugs was to close all the beaches and basically any outside venue normally open to Californians.

Thanks for that tip…I was totally unaware.

Humm. Lets see; Your:

Good health causes Vitamin D because healthy people go out in the sun which results in Vitamin D... and unhealthy do not go out so do not get Vitamin D.

That I think is correlation. (The predicate “Good Health” is in the wrong place.

Exposure to Sunlight = D3 creation = Better health.

That is causation but you are free to believe what you want and I will not bother you about it.

For the anyone else reading this, the point of the German Study was to encourage D3 supplementation. People living in areas with little sunlight in the winter need to get their vitamin D levels up. (Cant go running naked in the northern forests of scandinavia in January, unless its from the Sauna to the hole in the ice and quickly back to the house!)

Here is what they say:

“However, a recent German study stands out from all of them because it comes the closest to proving this ironclad correlation to be causation.

Not only did the German researchers find a linear relationship between vitamin D levels and mortality from COVID, they found essentially zero morbidity for those with a D level above 50 ng/mL. The reason this study is so important relative to the dozens of others tracking D levels with COVID outcomes is because it measured the levels months before the patients got COVID as well as after the infection onset. “In most studies, the vitamin D level was determined several days after the onset of infection; therefore, a low vitamin D level may be the result and not the trigger of the course of infection,” note the authors.

This study, however, followed 1,601 hospitalized patients, 784 who had their vitamin D levels measured within a day after admission and 817 whose vitamin D levels were known before infection. As an adjunct to this sample, researchers also analyzed the long-term average vitamin D3 levels documented for 19 countries. The observed median vitamin D value over all collected study cohorts was 23.2 ng/mL, which is considered insufficient.”

Thanks!

I think the German study was specifically directed at those who have a heavy melanine load and those wearing burkas who do not receive much sunlight in any case.

I think I know what you mean...ha ha ha. I just remember that the MK7 part of Vitamin K2 is somewhat important.

Vitamin D is also the only effective medication for Depression.

This is nothing new. Based on numerous articles, our family has been taking our Covid Cocktail of Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Quercitin for over a year. Every articles states most people are deficient in D and at most risk.
