A lot of us actually know of the connection from previous experiences with the Flu. What it seems to really do is to clear out the cough that comes after the Flu when the cough/sorethroat tends to enter your lungs. With VitaminD, that phase of the flu is gone. I dont supplement regularly, and I start taking it the day I feel I am going down with the flu. No point recommending it because you will be seen as someone who constantly talks of the benefits of VitaminD.
The other thing to make sure of while taking Vitamin D is to take adequate Vitamin K2(menaquinone), else you land up with kidney stones. For continued benefits, I also take some amount of sodium borate and magnesium. Anyway, this is my irregular regimen and you will need to talk to your doc before you do this.
Get tested, meet a doc, get the right dose, and understand how it works.
- waheoo 6y agoDoesnt this basically explain the real reason for why flu is worse in winter. Less sun exposure in general.
- dcow 6y agoI always wondered this too. I didn't think it had anything to do with the temperature of the air... how does that make sense?
- waheoo 6y agoPrevious thinking was that it was more time spent indoors woth central heating recirculating air and things like that but i never really bought into that idea. Doesnt really work for more temperate climates that still see lots of outdoors activity in winter, eg. Australia. The one difference is during winter, your basically go to work in the dark and arrive home in the dark as well.
