Take your Vitamin D supplements folks

I feel bad for people stuck in hospitals and cannot go outside. The sunlight and fresh air is amazing when you don't feel well.

Or maybe instead of hiding scared in our houses get outside in the sunshine, the best source of vitamin D we have.

Duh.

8000 IU / day.

Spaced out with food because D3 is a fat soluable(sp) vitamin.

That’s just 4 of the tiny arse liquid capsules.

As you age, your body makes less and less Vit D and it's hard to get enough thru food. I take 2000 units a day and my level still isn't really high.

Standard hospital care should be amended to include outdoor sunshine therapy whenever possible. Would probably help increase recovery times by at least 20%.

I would volunteer (as a public service) to personally make sure Elizabeth Hurley gets as much Vitamin D as possible.

Credit where credit is due, Thine was talking about vitamin D and zinc months ago.

As well as aliens and what not.

Vitamin D has a major impact on immune response and mood, humans just need sunlight.

Pretty much getting some sun and taking a daily vitamin with vitamin c, d, and zinc in it is the cure for Covid. Some horrible disease.
