Well that's interesting. I had a relative who died at 100 looking lovely and never suffered bone disease. She would "sun" just about every day.
OTOH, I had a relative who died from P.A.D. who was very pale and spent no time in the sun.
I Just Bought some yesterday!
What if I get a sunburnt? Is that too much “D?”
FWIW, I’ve been taking 5000UI daily of Vitamin D3.
Don’t feel much different, but I’m hoping the long term effects are correct.
Costs less than $20/year.
Importantly, Vitamin D3 is believed to have strong anti-viral properties, a breakdown product damaging the protective coating around viruses.
Interestingly, it is important to know if you are sensitive to Vitamin D3, as a small minority of people have a tolerance as low as 2,000-5,000 IU/day. However, most people have a tolerance far above that.
In one study of Vitamin D3 as an antiviral, it was suggested that a single, 50,000 IU dose be taken to rapidly raise serum levels of the vitamin, and then it be followed by a maintenance dose from 3,000-5,000 IU/day.
Of course, this option would not be available if you have a sensitivity to the vitamin.
