Comes in liquid form too. An eyedropper under the tongue, wait 15 seconds, swallow.
I have an aversion to horse pills.
I have a friend age 80+, never smoked or drank liquor, nutritionally “aware,” healthy but for some arthritis, and has been taking vitamin D supplements for years though she lives in sunny FL. (Not in a nursing home.)
She has covid and I’ve been anticipating bad news.
So it doesn’t always help, D3, wish I knew why.
I read it’s also good for depression?
Well I haven’t been depressed for decades, so there might be something to that.
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.
This information has been available to anyone paying attention since at least April. The actual mechanism seems to be that D3 prevents a bradykinin storm which also affects cytokine storms.
As to D3 being a Zinc Ionophore, no that would be Quercetin, ECGC and HCQ.
D3(Vitamin and Hormone) and Ivermectin are the two miracle "drugs" for Covid. Both as preventative and anti-inflammatory during an invection. There are a number of other processes going on with both of these as well.
That's not entirely true. You can take too much as it is stored in body fat. From the Mayo Clinic:
The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.Not discounting what he says in the article. The "D Hammer" has worked for me. But there is an upper limit to how much you should take.
I think you have may have been confusing Vitamin D with Quercetin, a Zinc ionophore.
80+ put her in high risk to begin with. Just wear and tear on the body over the years will weaken.

I take @ 10,000 a day...to keep my level between 60-80 where it should be
PS ...you are taking K2 also, right? Need it with the D...otherwise could end up with “hardening of the arteries”
I’ve been taking atleast 2,000 IU’s per day since this Covid mess showed up and vitamin reports came out quickly. 1,000mg of Vit C, 2,000 - 4,000 IU’s of VitD3, and I was taking some Magnesium in powder form at night.
Neither have I. But then I’m a rather upbeat individual to begin with.
Why does a roundworm medication, Ivermectin, help with Covid?
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.

Exactly. In our modern world, we’ve become indoor dwellers. We live at home. We work in offices. We drive to work in cars. Few, other than perhaps construction workers, are outdoors for a meaningful portion of the day.
I know for myself, since I started taking a daily 5,000 IU vitamin D3 capsule, I basically never get a cold. I use to reliably get 3 or 4 colds per year.
I’ve been taking 2000 IU daily and my blood level is 51 (desired range is 30-100), calcium is at 9.1 (desired range 8.6-10.3), but that was with a lot of sun exposure from yard work. I have some calcium buildup on my aorta hence the need to be careful and watch the upper limit of intake. I could stand to bump up my winter D intake, though. And I need to add K to the mix.
BTW, the “Healthy Eyes” vitamin has a lot of zinc (40 mg, 364% of the MDR) which is also important with WuFlu out and about.
Been taking it for about 5 years now. Probably the least controversial issue out there that Vitamin D is a Good Thing.
Zinc and Vit.D3 plus K2 - nary a sniffle in the past two years taking the stuff.
Is it best to take the liquid form or pill?
