When you wake up in the a.m., before you do anything else, take 10,000 I.U. of D3. Preferably liquid drops in olive or other oil. Nothing is more important to maintaining immune strength.

Also helpful: Matcha green tea, which has EGCG, perhaps the most powerful anti-oxidant. Take with pure vitamin C or fish oil to enhance absorption.

DO NOT take any "multivitamin." They are useless, because they combine water- and fat-soluble vitamins and minerals in one tablet, thereby ensuring you will just pee almost of all it out. Instead take them separately. Take B12, B6, etc, with C, zinc and other water-soluble vitamins. Take D3 with E, K2, or A, which are fat-soluble.

Thanks for the vitamin tips here, montag!

I've been doing the separate dosing thingee, but include the multivitamin with a fat load.

I'm only on 3,000 to 4,000 IU of vit D, because I've read that you can get TOO much of it.

Any literature on that heavy a dose?

Good to know about which vitamins to take with which.

take 10,000 I.U. of D3

What brand?

The body will take what it needs and pee the rest out....high dosing is only good for deficiencies but can be toxic if too much is “forced” on the body. A vitamin maintenance program is good only when there are chances that dietary intake will not be enough to maintain average daily dose requirements or the diets in some are quirky(and lacking in some key elements) or appetites are poor.

Stress type elements and vitamins are good for what they are good for, acute illnesses and injuries.

There are no magic potions that will cure everything but even every “Gilead” has its balm!

If I take more than 1000 IU of D3 I get jittery. I have no idea why.

Be careful with the EGCG. I think too much of that can cause liver damage.
