Your body needs sunshine in order to manufacture vitamin D.

The lockdowns are causing vitamin D deficiency, which is killing people with COVID-19.

Plausible.

[Secret Agent Man]

in winter people’s vitamin d levels go down anyway and every doctor and scientist knows that

its another reason why people get the flu and die from it

no one has ever made a peep about it despite knowing it

if you dont normally go outdoors or its winter supplement your vitamin d with a quality d3 vitamin

[HighSierra5]

You need sunlight. Otherwise you turn into a Morloch.

[matt04]

Remember “stay safe, stay home” and only go out when necessary for as short a time as possible. It’s the only way to stay safe. /s

Maybe that’s why places without lock down orders or shorter ones seem to have fewer cases as people were getting out and exercising or working in fresh air and sunlight more often vs getting threatened whit arrest for walking in a park.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Vitamin D Insufficiency (VDI) and severe COVID-19 share numerous associations including hypertension, obesity, male sex, advanced age, concentration in northern climates, coagulopathy, and immune dysfunction.

Well lucky ole me! I tick all of the boxes to one degree or another except maybe coagulopathy. From what I’ve read, that happens AFTER you get it. I DO get a lot of sunshine, though.

Are Vit D supplements as good as sunshine?

[Cicero]

I take a Vitamin D3 capsule daily. Living in Vermont, I get very little sunshine, and in the winter I’m all covered up anyway.

[rolling_stone]

how much vitamin d you get from sunshine depends on age, ethnicity, and where in the world you are..

there are calculators available including for supplements.
vitamin d levels have two different standards
ng/ml and nmol/l

[dp0622]

It’s important to have VD every day!

[devane617]

I doubt it. Most deaths are among the elderly and those with other sever problems. By default, most of those folks are shut-ins and don’t go outside where “D” would be available.

Canada is doomed...

I finish this short 15 minute podcast with a scientific, philosophical question - can YOU answer it?
And yes, it’s yet another one for Science and Data-Centric people everywhere
- a review of Vitamin D, #Latitude and Virus Infection severity of outcome
- fascinating stuff if I may say so

I just started vit-D3 last fall when I had bloodwork and it showed low levels. 1000 IU’S a day. plus 1020 IU’s in multi-vitamine tab. But one does wonder how much is too much.

[Secret Agent Man]

No question, you can take too much. but most people come nowhere near taking a dangerous level for themselves.

Many people are deficient though. Further you may need to take more initially to get your levels up to normal, and then taper.

Vitamin D for influenza
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/

Last paragraph from link:

A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.8 We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar.

[Right Wing Assault]

"According to the Institute of Medicine, 4000 IU is the safe upper level of daily vitamin D intake. However, doses up to 10,000 IU have not been shown to cause toxicity in healthy individuals"

I've been taking 10,000 daily for several years.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4821095/

"Vitamin D3 therapy (50,000-100,000 IU/week) was safe and effective when given for 12 months to reverse statin intolerance in patients with vitamin D deficiency. Serum vitamin D rarely exceeded 100 ng/mL, never reached toxic levels, and there were no significant change in serum calcium or eGFR."

[goodnesswins]

I take 8-10,000 vitamin d3 daily...with some k2...but everyone should have their d levels checked.

The hated Alex Jones, who predicted all this years ago, has been saying the same thing about vitamin D and sunshine from the beginning.

For a crazy guy he sure is right a lot.
