Yes - I've had skin cancer and have to avoid the sun, so I take Vitamin D.
shareA few years ago my doctor said that according to my blood work I needed to take vitamin D. I started out at 2000 IU daily, but about a year ago (so nothing to do with Covid) was told to double that. So I take 4000 IU every day. Occasionally I'll skip a day, or just take 2000 IU, especially if I've been out in the sun for a while. My last blood work said my numbers were right on.
share4000 IU’s is what I’ve been taking also, since Covid though. I work outside and get a lot of sun but there just seems to be evidence that increased vitamin D levels help in not having a bad case of Covid.
shareDo you feel any better since taking them?
shareImpossible to know. I was recommended the stuff based on blood levels, not on any complaints I was making. He also recommended Vitamin B12, which I take 750 mcg daily. Almost a year ago I quit smoking and alcohol which would be a far more noticeable difference.
shareYes, I take 5000 IUs per day. Even during Summer. I take it with Magnesium & Calcium along with Fish Oil.
shareYep; they're called walking the dog out in the sun in the mornings, and drinking a cup of skim milk in at dinnertime.
