D3 or D2? I don't know if it makes any difference which one, but I have read that D3 is more readily taken up by the body.Rex Racer said:Nope. At least not for me. I have been taking between 5,000 and 15,000 IU of Vitamin D daily for several years, and I was hospitalized with COVID pneumonia for 16 days. Granted, I'm 52 years old but in very good health. I was doing two 3 mile walks a day and/or going to gym several days a week for the last several years prior to catching COVID, and I'm 5' 10" and 165 lbs.eric76 said:I wonder if Vitamin D levels might come as close as anything.TXTransplant said:
If we had a crystal ball and could predict who is going to have a severe reaction to Covid compared to those who have mild symptoms, we'd be in a great position. But we don't.
I take 5,000 IU of D3 daily. Since Vitamin D is fat soluble and I take it just before going to bed, long after I ate, I typically eat a brownie or something similar (Hostess Cupcake) to help absorb the Vitamin D.
In spite of being over 65 and overweight, I had such a mild case of covid that when I had it, I stayed at work and gave everyone else a two week paid vacation.
