COVID-19 mortality risk correlates inversely with vitamin D3 status, and a mortality rate close to zero could theoretically be achieved at 50 ng/ml 25(OH)D3: Results of a systematic review and meta-analysis

... Results One population study and seven clinical studies were identified, which reported D3 blood levels pre-infection or on the day of hospital admission. They independently showed a negative Pearson correlation of D3 levels and mortality risk (r(17)=-.4154, p=.0770/r(13)=-.4886, p=.0646). For the combined data, median (IQR) D3 levels were 23.2 ng/ml (17.4 – 26.8), and a significant Pearson correlation was observed (r(32)=-.3989, p=.0194). Regression suggested a theoretical point of zero mortality at approximately 50 ng/ml D3. Conclusions The two datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/ml to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity. ...

For me, D3, C, Zinc Citrate, senior male multivitamin, fish oil, CoQ-10, B12 every AM. Also, a tonic water for the quinine, most days. (No gin, however, shucks!) So far, only once since the CONdemic started, have I had a sniffle. Previously, before the CONdemic, I took nothing, and had 3 or 4 colds each year.

I think the report is spot on. I believe that this was all done as part of the ‘Great Reset’. A nasty illness, easily controlled, but hyped to fever pitch, created to destroy Western civilization. Thank you Fauxi. At 80 YoA, you will SOON have a meeting with your Creator. Unless you repent and accept Jesus, your future sounds to be hot and sulfery.

In the Northern hemisphere, we are exceptionally ‘D’ deficient, ESPECIALLY in the NORTHERN part of the Northern Hemisphere, (like Kanadhar (Canada)). Little sun in the winter, so take ‘D3’.

Kudos’s to you for understanding the need to take supplemental D3 (+K2 as I understand the need for absorbsion).

In January 2020, I was sick-as-a-dog for three weeks with the “flu”. Did not know at the time I had the Kung Flu Death Star Flu. . . anyway, I asked my doctor to run and extensive blood test for my annual checkup. Oh, I figured I would get a “hit” for how I was mistreating my poor liver or such. Only thing she had to say was my vitamin D3 was low. So in February 2020 I added supplements of D3/K2. Sort of good timing and divine intervention if you ask me.

How much vitamin D do you have to consume so the level in your body is what was recommended? That would be info people could use.

Can anyone say how much D3 you would need to reach that level?

I’ve heard that Quercetin helps in zinc absorption.

I used to blow off people who relied on supplements until I wised up years back and started just with the basics, hadn’t even a sniffle since although my allergies flair up from time to time.

Poor Vitamin D. It’s going to be labeled a terrorist threat.

Read where it’s in red wine, green tea, onions and more and I do partake in them - I take the green tea extract pills. Oh, and the red wine, yes, red wine.

That would be discriminatory. Those who live closer to the Equator would be impacted less. Just tell the government that the “evil” Southerners will benefit and the Northern blacks will suffer. They would have to ban UV lamps and cod-liver oil too.

This just can’t be. Dr. Faustus told us that Vitamin D is useless toward immunity against respiratory viruses. You must be Vaxxed! /sarc

everyone should aim for a level of 50 ng/ml?


No.

People observed that those 50 ng/ml do better in many ways.

Because of that, they tested whether increasing vitamin d to that level would provide benefits. Almost always, those who receiced vitamin d do no better on what they are testing than those who didn’t receive vitamin d.

I have only been taking D3 with K2 since Covid hysteria developed. I will keep doing so as it is simply a great immunity booster for live. So I have our commie evil government to thank for it. A silver lining amid our collapse into chaos and eventual socialist totalitarian tyranny. I will be bound and chained, but at least my immunity will be good.
