Do you have vitamin D supplements?

Please excuse a white person posting - and I hope the answer is that you know all this already, but just in case you havent read it elsewhere

Vitamin D may be protective against Covid. Dept Health recommendation is for everyone to take a small supplement in winter anyway. But they dont shout it from the rooftops.

Some groups - including those with darker skin, the elderly and anyone who is indoors a lot or covers their skin when outdoors - are advised to consider a supplement all year.

Here are a couple of the studies suggesting this is important for Covid.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7456194/ and

Great reminder. As well as Covid, low vitamin D is also linked with MS and some nasty mental health issues too. I like the Better You spray which is easy to take

I am also taking vitamin c following the Covid situation and information I read it in the news that both may help our community.

Thanks for posting OP.

A timely reminder thanks op.

To those who are concerned about the levels of Vit D to take, well what is it?

Or should we all march down to the GP to get a blood test before taking it?

Vit D is sold in 1, 2, or 3mg doses. Well it's called some squiggly thing, but that's the way my mind thinks. LOL.

25 µg or 1000iu is a medium level dose - more than the Dept Health recommendation but more the level other countries think is desirable. Check its vitamin D3 but I dont think I've ever seen any other form.
