I was in Laboratory Medicine until retirement in 2016. Even then it was known Vit D was beneficial in fighting any viral infection. The mainstream medical did not want people to know this. The studies under dosed the D so designed to fail in many cases.
Vitamin D is helpful in a myriad of ways. Take it, and take 5000 to 10000 IU daily! Also cod liver oil capsules have D and other beneficial components, so add that in with your daily supplement schedule. As Dr Cole says, “you are your own best Doctor”
5,000 to 10,000 i.u. daily is still inadequate to achieve optimum blood levels. It takes 20,000 to 30,000 i.u./day to maintain optimum levels, an amount that is still ten-to-twenty TIMES below a possibly toxic level.
See Dr. Judson Sumerville's excellent book: The Optimal Dose: Restore Your Health With the Power of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D isn't even a vitamin. It is a hormone and so is needed in much higher amounts than vitamins. Every cell in the body requires it! It improves sleep, improves or eliminates sleep apnea and RLS. It modulates the immune system and therby reduces infections and cancer. Improves energy, metabolism, muscle strength, metabolic syndrome, and brain function. Slows aging. Reduces appetite and food cravings in the overweight and helps restore normal weight. And more!
Good points, though in the sunnier half of the year, I would prefer to go beyond a 2,000iu/day capsule via sun exposure.
Sun exposure also helps with nitric oxide and melatonin production, though each hormone/chemical may be triggered by different types of radiation (IR, UVA, UBC) and therefore may come at different amounts in various times of day and year.
