Vitamin D helps prevent all auto-immune dysfunctions.

It’s cheap insurance. 2000 IU a day, and Omega-3s are also helpful, but take a while to prove themselves.

D3 for me!

“Now, when my patients, colleagues, or friends ask me which vitamins or supplements I’d recommend they take to reduce risk of autoimmune disease, I have new evidence-based recommendations for women age 55 years and older and men 50 years and older,” said Costenbader. “I suggest vitamin D 2000 IU a day and marine omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), 1000 mg a day—the doses used in VITAL.”

Yeah, too bad my ADs (psoriasis included among a few others) was diagnosed before I was 50 and was lingering undiagnosed for a long time before that.

Completely agree. Vitamin D is very cheap and IMO it’s foolish not to supplement.

1000 IU is 25 mcg. The smallest dose per “pill” I have seen is 25 mcg but the 125 mcg/pills are only a tiny bit more expensive. Read label for content carefully.

Interesting that the Omega 3 has to be fish oil....and, not plant based.

I take 5000 IU vit. D3 daily. and 1gram (1000mg) vit. C daily.

My doc thought D3 at 5,000 IU/day might cause kidney stones. I did some reading of the research on this and it appears to be a slight risk, but I cut back to 3,000 IU/day a couple weeks ago. At 5,000, my VitD, 25-Hydroxy Tot serum was 41 ng/mL. The lab report says “There is no known benefit of values >50 ng/mL.”

I was taking fish oil capsules for a while and got really obnoxious fish burps. Ugh. My doc later said the research really didn’t support Omega 3 supplementation with fish oil, so I discontinued that supplement. It’s interesting it popped up here in conjunction with Vit D3 to combat autoimmune diseases in older people (that’s me!).

If you are not allergic to it.

I feel much better in the summer when I’m outside getting sunlight, but cannot tolerate Vitamin D supplements.

And I have tried.
