I have a prescription for 50,000 mgs a week. My D is low.
It is a very cheap vitamin even without a script.
I’ve always been a night owl. Lack of sun might explain it.

Vitamin D suppresses excessive cytokine release that can present as a cytokine storm, a common cause of COVID-related morbidity and mortality. This is the first I have read this.
I had read that Vitamin D helps transport Zink in to cells and that Zink prevents viral replication in cells.

You and just about every one else. Americans would do themselves a major favor to have their blood level checked. Personally, my wife and I take 10,000 IU per day. Blood level finally measured optimal!

Once a person floods the system with the hormone, D3, there is a lag of about 2 weeks for that proper, higher concentration to drop low. Once a 2 week regimen of 20,000 IU establishes the proper fill, a 5,000 to 6,000 IU daily replenishment is adequate to maintain an expected D3 hormone level.
This level is usually established by being outside in the direct sunshine causing the skin to generate as much as 20,000 IU with just 30 minutes of direct, full Sun exposure when shirtless. Humans aren’t designed to be building or cave dwellers.

Who doesn’t take vitamins these days. Alot simpler and cheaper than medicine.

Humans aren’t designed to be building or cave dwellers. Unless they're Irish, in which case they are expected to stay under a constant layer of thick clouds, or in a pub.

Many people are vitamin D-deficient because there are only small amounts in food, Holick said. Most vitamin D comes from sun exposure and many are deprived, especially during winter months. Which explain why it (and the common flu) flares up in the cold winter months. People need their Vitamin D and from about November to February, the sun just isn't high enough in the sky in most U.S. latitudes to be a factor.
There are foods high in Vitamin D such as eggs (with the yolks), fatty fish like sardines, and beef liver. But people have been brainwashed into avoiding these incredibly nutritious foods.
Even though I eat those foods regularly, I still take 2,000 to 5,000 IUs of Vitamin D in pill form (less in summer when I am getting sun).
Many articles posted here about the benefits of Vitamin D but it can't be posted enough times.

I take 5,000 IUs of d3 each day, and have been since early May. Have heard I need to take some K along with it, so will check in to that.
