TLDR I take 2000 iu a day and have done for years. I believe it protected me during C19.

A study in Germany suggests that taking simple vitamin D supplements for people aged 50 and older could significantly reduce cancer deaths. Researchers estimate that this measure could save nearly 30,000 lives every year in the country.

I repeat: Widespread vitamin D supplementation for those over 50 may dramatically cut cancer mortality in Germany.

Lots of Fatty fish Vermont mtn trout is my preferred but i also like swordfish Egg yokes are also a great source along with sun dried mushrooms . there is also a higher rate of MS the farther you reside from the equator which some claim it is due to the lower time spent in the sun or Vitamin D

Funny though James. We just had some similar program on TV in regards to giving vitamins to young children. Some are even BAD

2000 iu is a very low dose -- get blood levels done. should be closer to 100. I take 10000 iu per day but taking K2 with it is a MUST. will keep calcium out of your arteries and into your bones where it belongs. I never got c19 and I'm a frontline healthcare worker that has intubated C19 patients for surgery.... never got the jab either. thanks for sharing the tip about Vit D! This is one of a few things I get on my soapbox about oh and get out and get some sunshine!

I usually enjoy a 15-20 minute walk within the first few minutes of sunrise. I also take a D +K2 vitamin each day. I really should find a way to spend more time outside. I do yardwork about 1-2 hours a week.

Vitamin D is not easily absorbed taking vitamin K2 helps escort it into our system I take 5000iu vitd/100mcg k2 per day

It's important to try and get up to 20 mins of direct sunlight daily. Not just Vitamin D but lots of benefits of experiencing the full sunlight spectrum on the eyes. Also try to ensure you eat sardines, mackerel, salmon and mushrooms regularly.

I take weekly high dose - make sure take with fatty meal to aide in absorption

In my opinion, Vitamin D is not enough. Vitamin D + MK-7 (a form of K2) should be taken with together - (Vitamin D + MK-7 100-180mcg/day). Higher doses of Vitamin D without MK-7 can damage arteries, can lead to hypercalcemia and can aid in developing kidney stones. I recommend taking Magnesium with vitamin D as well (magnesium is important in the conversion of vitamin D to it's active form (calcitriol). So: (Vitamin D + MK-7 + Magnesium)!
