Anyone know about vitamin D

[ItsAllForYou]

Is 17.5 ug okay to be taking as a daily dose?

not sure how iu translates to ug but you want 2000 iu a day ideally, more and a superdosing schedule from your doctor if your vit d is low

Maximum dose is 100ug. Recommended dose for most people/children over 1 is 10ug. Mine is 25ug I think

Vit d is really hard to increase so take it in oil or eat at least 14g fat and take them with the meal (fat aids absorption)

10ug is the standard recommended dose.

Anything higher should be taken on medical advice.

Think you multiply ug by 40 to get IU. My 25ug is 1000IU

The second vitamin D3 blood serum study in the world has been published yesterday.
It was a study of 780 Indonesian covid patients.

These are the conclusions of the study:
• Majority of the COVID-19 cases with insufficient and deficient Vitamin D status died.
• The odds of death was higher in older and male cases with pre-existing condition and below normal Vitamin D levels.
• When controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity, Vitamin D status is strongly associated with COVID-19 mortality.

When compared to cases with normal Vitamin D status, death was approximately 10.12 times more likely for Vitamin D deficient cases (OR=10.12; p
