Take your Vitamin D

[JohnMcCainsDeathStare]

It's officially autumn and noticeably darker, with the dew falling with a sickening thud.
One of the key factors in mortality/morbidity with COVID19 is vitamin D deficiency.

There is considerable information on the NHS website as well as NIH (US).

I have started my 3000 iu megadose 2 weeks ago and I have a bit more energy and my moods are more stable - think I was vit D deficient most of August. At the latitude of the British Isles you only make Vitamin D from April to early September.

So take your Vitamin D.

Thank you! I have some and keep forgetting...

I try to remember as I live in Scotland where it’s bloody dismal a lot

Thanks for the reminder! I need to get some more as well as foods with vitamin D. I tend to fall flat with food though. Any good suggestions/dishes. I usually have eggs (but mindful of the cholesterol) and mushrooms.

Yes, I bought some extra strength tablets yesterday and some spray for the kids.

I've got the drops that are put in juice for us all. Not sure if it's a good enough dose, I'd better check

I got some 4000iu capsules from amazon. I take them all year round

I got a spray for the kids - 10ug (400IU)
I take 25ug micro tablets (1000IU)

Ooh thanks I bought some supplements after seeing that video. I have never seen a spray for kids though, that might be worth a try.

Astudy from Spain finally presents the first clinical evidence for the use of vitamin D to treat Covid-19. The study, “Effect of Calcifediol Treatment and best Available Therapy versus best Available Therapy on Intensive Care Unit Admission and Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: A Pilot Randomized Clinical study,” was published in The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology on 29 August. It’s called a pilot because the sample size is still small, but its randomization and prospective design still make it a robust research.

Where’s the spray from?

I paid to get mine tested by post at the beginning of lockdown. It came back as deficient but not too severely,.so I've been taking a supplement since then

I got it from amazon

I use a spray every day.

I got a spray from Holland and Barrett.

Thanks for the reminder OP. I’m black, we tend to be low on vitD in general so I’ll be stocking up.

I buy Oilesen drops as the ingredients are very simple (multiple allergies in this house) with just D3 and olive oil.

One drop on the tongue and that’s it.

I think it’s supposed to be best taken while eating as fat helps it to absorb or something. I try to remember every breakfast time.

I take tiny tablets - also from amazon- 1 year supply

Thanks for that op. Is a bog standard multivitamin tablet going to be good enough for are the sprays/drops better?

Try and find a supplement that is D3 alongside k2.

Thank you for the reminder! Its a small thing but hopefully it will help...

Check the amount in the multivitamin. 10ug is the recommended amount to take (dh's multivitamin only contains 5ug). Make sure its Vitamin D3 as well

Thank you dementedpixie I've just added these to my shopping order as my multivitamin doesn't have enough vitamin D.

Yes mum

Can you take too much vitamin d?

I agree, I went to the dr as I was feeling so tired and wasted, and a severe vit D deficiency was diagnosed. Been WFH since March .
