This is a repost of information for those who may not have seen it:

A new study (actually a review of many studies) concludes that people with a Vitamin D3 blood level of greater than 50 ng/ML [25(OH)D3] have almost a ZERO risk of dying from COVID.

How to Achieve Optimal D3 Levels

Historically, the level of Vitamin D3 recommended by the experts ranges from 400 IU to 2,000 IU a day, which falls far short of getting you to the 50 ng/ml level you need. This video explains why the "experts" are wrong (too low) and how to calibrate it for yourself. This doctor recommends 10,000 IUs a day for a healthy person. (Higher amounts may be needed if you have a compromised immune system, insulin resistance or genetic mutations.) It's a must watch.

This doctor says he targets 60 - 80 ng/ML blood level and once tested and determined a patient is low, prescribes 10,000 IU a day until the desired level is achieved, which will likely take weeks. Watch here:

Unsure what level of supplements to take? The safest way to determine if you need to increase your Vitamin D3 intake is to get a simple blood test from your doctor (or you can order a home test online).

Note: Vitamin D3 is fat soluble, so it's best to take it with a meal that contains fats, to ensure absorption.

A tablespoon of cod liver oil a day does wonders.

It's very hard to take too much VitaminD. So e person took 100'000 IU a day for 5 years and had some calcification issues is all.

Also 15 minutes at day of most of your skin exposed to sun without sunblock of course. will naturally produce enough.

White people are good at making vitamin D with the 15 min /day exposure. Go for a 'vitamin D walk' every day.

Self dosing with the 10,000 IU pills can be too much for some people.

About a year ago my doc ran normal blood work as part of my yearly and checked my Vitamin D levels. I was already supplementing with 2000 IU a day so I thought it would be fine but my levels came back at 19 ng/ML.

He said he wanted to see me between 30 and 75 and that anything above 100 can cause issues. I started supplementing with 10,000 IU a day and 3 months later we reran my blood work. I came in at 95 ng/ML. Over time this would lead to joint issues and Kidney stones. So for me at least 2000 IU was not enough and 10,000 IU was too much. YMMV

What level are you at now and what dose?

[–] • 0 pt

it varies a little... the sweet spot for me is 5000 IU but that size pill has spotty availability so sometimes I dose with 1x5000 when i have it and sometimes 3x2000 and sometimes I don't want to swallow a bunch of pills so I do 2x2000... so my daily fluctuates between 4000 and 6000.

but that is not the point... my point is that everyone absorbs Vitamin D differently and the best thing to do is some blood work so you can dial in your own body.

Yeah I understand that I was wondering if you found the right dose to achieve at least 50 and what that was. I do six month testing, with 3 month testing you’d always would be changing the dose. It takes roughly 3 to 6 months to plateau.
