Vitamin d in larger amounts than the modern man can imbibe or soak in, seems to be more necessary for optimal health than we knew.

Supplementation with d3 seems to be the only way to get over 60 in the bloodstream, and the results just in preventing viruses will be evident immediately.

Very interesting. I’ve recently been on mega-doses of Vitamin D (prescribed) and my blood pressure has come way down. Jives with the study.

Thanks for posting this.

“Supplementation with d3 seems to be the only way to get over 60 in the bloodstream, and the results just in preventing viruses will be evident immediately”

We take 4,000 units of D3 per day. Have given up flu vaccines and have not had a sniffle in over a year.

Us too! I take even more than that - testing showed I needed well over 10,000 units. My kids take it too and are never sick, though they are exposed to everything. it’s been the greatest thing ever for our health, and still people pooh pooh it, saying “I drink milk” as if it has enough D in it, and they are constantly sick, colds, allergies... Who knew that getting 4 colds a winter is NOT normal?? No flus here either, and we were exposed a LOT.

I’ve been taking it for 7 months after my last physical showed low Vitamin D levels. I noticed a substantial improvement in BP after about 4 months. Wasn’t sick this winter either, although that’s probably just anecdotal at this point.

Did your dr suggest it? Also, how much is that a day - about 160IU a day?
