This is a personal experience. But I've been struggling with constant throat infections, tiredness and coughing every winter for years (I live in a Nordic country). Had my 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D(D3+D2) checked in both autumn and winter 2 years ago. In October it was ~ 110 nmol/L and in February it was ~ 30 nmol/L. (Deficiency is around 50 nmol/L).
Seeing the seasonal difference was a bit of an eye-opener. And I have been on high dose Vitamin D supplements this winter. And all of my "winter" issues have more or less disappeared.
- dharma1 7y agohow high is high dose for you?
- kasperni 7y ago4,000 IU 4-5 days a week. I did a loading phase with a bit more.
- agumonkey 7y agoso the program is > 4000 at first then stabilize around 4000 ?
- kasperni 7y agoYes, I didn't start until late December so I did a little loading with a bigger dose [1]. Next time I'm just going to start around October instead of running into a deficiency.
