Add Vitamin D to bread and milk to help fight Covid, urge scientists

  As I haven't been following this part link between Vitamin D and Covid: what is the mechanism of action?
  • icedchai 6y ago
    It's not covid specific. When you have a healthy immune system, you tend to get sick less often. Vitamin D, possibly, helps the immune system. I take 2000 IUs a day and have for years.

  Anecdotally, my wife is doing her PhD in the states and lives in a share house with 5 other people. About 2 months ago I asked her to start taking 800UI of vitamin D, partly because she's a PhD student and never leaves her room and partly because of Covid. 3 weeks ago everyone in her house contracted covid except her.

    I was told by my endocrinologist not to take more than 5000UI of D. Above 5000 is toxic.

      5000UI is a huge amount. My wife is taking 800 3 times a week.
