You need 4000-10000 IU (depending on weight) of vitamin D daily unless you get sun in the summer AND during lunch time. A sun that is low on the horizon doesn’t give you much Vitamin-D and only cancer. Sunscreens are great, but make sure you get 15 minutes of sun without it in the middle of the day! A tip: If you are close to the equator or in the summer, open windows and door, and then the UV-B light will flow indoor just like the visible light and you will get a sunburn that is very even and safe. The UV-B-light bounce around just as well as the visible light, but it can’t pass through glass.
If you think that you’re deficient, start with a single dose of 50 000 IE, and then 4000-10000 IU.
Either eat food rich in vitamin K2 or take that as a part of the Vitamin D pill! K2 makes the calcium stay in your bones and removes it from your arteries. Most suspected cases of overdosing vitamin D are likely just a lack of K2 and possibly other minerals
Also make sure that your food contains enough magnesium and zinc! Magnesium regulates “Vitamin-D levels” making both a shortage and too much D less of a problem. The main problem is not lack of magnesium and zinc in you food, but that you constantly eat bread or pasta (or even nuts) with every meal, and then the body can’t absorb minerals well. You can improve the uptake of zinc with “ionophores”, for example tonic, green tea, onions and garlic. You can get green tea extract without caffeine and quercetin is the ionophore in many plants like onions and it also have other positive effects on moderating your immune system
And eat some liver. If you don’t like it, try liver paté or livers from birds or pigs because they don’t taste as strong as beef liver! You don’t need to eat much, and you will stop liking it when your body has had enough, but liver is a great source of vitamin A and basically everything, but you can’t get enough D without overdosing on A from liver, so sun/D-supplemens are preferred too.
You can take a multivitamin pill on top of this, just to make sure you aren’t having a great deficiency.
Vitamin D “might be toxic”?!?
The lowest dosage that might have lead to toxic levels was a tiny old lady who got 40000 IU daily and months later got some bleeding, that might have been related to the Vitamin-D or more likely a deficiency in K2 and vitamin C or something completely different. That dosage is however 10 times more than someone her size should take!
Other cases involved men who took 50 000 IU daily, and they started to get calcium in their blood (which is a sign of K2 deficiency), but when they stopped taking that much D, they were just fine (except that one of them was 95 years old, so he didn’t live long afterwards, but the middle aged man was just fine).
Example of a study “disproving D” according to articles linking to it:
1) The study was on elderly women that were not deficient in D
2) The women who got 2000 IU D daily got 30% less cancer than the control
3) This was not statistically significant
They keep on producing studies like this, and articles in every language are linking to them hoping that you will not actually read the study in detail
A series of good arguments on why it’s the people who want to keep vitamin D levels low that have to prove their case:
Studies proving D
Evidence Supports a Causal Role for Vitamin D Status in COVID-19 Outcomes
“Does Lockdown Decrease the Protective Role of Ultraviolet-B (UVB) Radiation in reducing COVID-19 Deaths?”
India has monsoons instead of winter seasons for viruses:
“The Spanish calcifediol study”: -96% less need of ICU!!! -100% death
Small study but there is a chance in a million that the ICU value was by chance. Also note that these patients also got zinc+HCQ, without which the calcifediol might not been as successful.
“The Indian study” – 65% well in 21 days compared to 21% in the control
Short term, high-dose vitamin D supplementation for COVID-19 disease: a randomized, placebo-controlled, study (SHADE study)
50-60 ng/ml is OK!
Huge Canadian study showed that the more D in the blood, the less risk of covid:
MedCram confirms my view of it:
