    I had seen a video on the benefits of vitamin D against covid, especially in winter we lack the Sun.
    There is a contribution of Zinc was also to be taken

    According to Dr. Davis.. UnDoctored.com.. The skin can not process the sun to make vitamin D as you age.

    Gel Cap D-3 work best.. one needs a D-3 blood test of 65+70 up to 100 to provide protection.
    Most register around 25-35. Which is inadequate.

    I take 15,000 units a day. It takes months to increase ones blood test.

    One also need daily Iodine. Which feeds the brain, immunity, sex organ and thyroid.

    In addition her recommends Magnesium Bicarbonate Water that you absorb at 50%.. and you make yourself.. CoQ10, and Omega 3 at 3,300mg/day

    ¤=[Post Update]=¤

    Zine and Copper are in balance.. You should take both daily.

    My wife and I have been taking extra D3 daily since February of last year. Despite being exposed to covid patients hundreds of times at a hospital job, I never got sick. I've also noticed I have less muscle pain and stiffness than I used to despite doing heavy physical work 50-60 hours a week.

    Although not understood on a molecular level hundreds of years ago, Vitamin D related heavily to Yang Qi and Kidney@/Liver in Chinese medicine.

    https://www.activeherb.com/blog/vita...onnection.html

    Quote When Sunshine Isn’t Enough
    In the summer, it’s very easy to get enough vitamin D. Just expose some skin to sunlight without sunscreen for a little while.

    But for some people, even spending time outdoors isn’t a guarantee of having adequate serum levels of active vitamin D3.

    The synthesis of vitamin D requires harmony of your organs. Especially, the paired TCM organ systems of Liver and Kidneys. They play a key role in activating vitamin D.

    Unfortunately, because of chronic stress and poor diet, people have underperforming Liver and Kidneys.

    Consequently, somebody with poor Kidney/Liver function may very well have suboptimal levels of serum D3.

    Boosting Serum Vitamin D3 By Nourishing Yang
    YanVive™
    Can Chinese medicine solve vitamin D deficiency?

    Yes. And to do so, let’s look at the most obvious symptom of inadequate vitamin D synthesis: bone malformation.

    According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the Kidney organ system dominates the bone.

    Without doubt, the only way to know for sure if you’re deficient in vitamin D is to have a blood test.

    However, if you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms such as feeling weak and cold much of the time, there’s a good chance you have vitamin D insufficiency.

    Formulas that tonify the Kidney can help. Our formula, YanVive, is referenced in China Pharmacopoeia for Yang insufficiency of Kidney.

    Vitamin K-2 activates D-3, E and A. Without it.. Calcium is not moved to the bones..
    25% of plaque in the blood is Calcium..
    Taking more Calcium without K-2 only build more plaque.

    maybe covid is just vitamin d deficiency?

    https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...OC_TITLE_HDR_7

    The recommended daily intake (RDI) is usually around 400–800 IU, but many experts say you should get even more than that.

    Vitamin D deficiency is very common. It’s estimated that about 1 billion people worldwide have low levels of the vitamin in their blood (2Trusted Source).

    According to a 2011 study, 41.6% of adults in the US are deficient. This number goes up to 69.2% in Hispanics and 82.1% in African-Americans (3Trusted Source).

    From a German Vitamin D blog: www.vitamindservice.de

    Vitamin D level below 27 ng/ml = risk factor for COVID-19
    Symptomfreie COVID Patienten = patients without symptoms
    bedrohlich kranke COVID Patienten = threateningly ill COVID patients

    Very difficult not to empathise with his frustration here:



    Source link/address: Dr Ah Khan Syed

    PDF direct link (43 pages): https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...977v1.full.pdf

    medRXiv: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...1263977v1.full

    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
    .
    Lorenz Borsche, Bernd Glauner, Julian von Mendel*

    September 2021

    Results
    One population study and seven clinical studies were identified, which reported D3 blood levels preinfection 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.


    ____________________

    So, obtaining a D-Level test would, as many of us here already know, be a proactive step to take:
    "Vitamin D tests involve taking a blood sample. There are two forms of vitamin D in the blood, 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH D), or calcidiol, and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, or calcitriol. Tests will measure the amount of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in the blood."
    “If a man does not keep pace with [fall into line with] his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Thoreau
