Just a warning... I'd not take MEDICAL advice from anonymous handles posting on the internet. I wouldn't take anything I say or speculate about medicine as settled science so you should talk to your doctor before making any large changes other than getting outside to exercise and get SOME sunlight on your skin. Don't get enough sun to burn the skin as that can cause cancer.... I'd also not take any investment advice from anonymous handles posting on the internet. Heck, some "real names" such as Tyler Durden are fake where the owner of one site pays others to write "click bait" content that is posted as authored by Tyler Durden that often has little basis in fact.. Zero Hedge in-house content is posted under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden"; the founder and main editor was identified as Daniel Ivandjiiski. [12] From en.wikipedia.org While at Miller Buckfire, Ivandjiiski was charged by FINRA of gaining USD 780 from an insider trade on 14–15 March 2006. [4] On 3 September 2008, FINRA reached their decision, published on 11 September 2008, that Daniel K. Ivandjiiski was to be barred from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with a broker-dealer firm, and from being a FINRA member. [3] Ivandjiiski had not turned 30 at that time, and did not appeal the FINRA decision. [3] ... Ivandjiiski decided that he, and all other Zero Hedge contributors, would blog under the collective pseudonym "Tyler Durden"(a character from the book Fight Club). From Daniel Ivandjiiski

If you don't do this already, ask your primary physician to include a Vitamin D test as part of your blood test panel. I have found that as I got older I needed Vitamin D, but didn't when younger. The 125mcg dosage is quite high. If I took that every day my D levels would get too high - I did that and my doc told me to stop, so I reduced the dosage. I take more in the winter since I am in Oregon (no sunlight for months). Since Vitamin D is in an oil form, or fat, it is absorbed into body tissue. This means (like similar supplements) that you could take it every other day and probably not have a problem. I say this only for anyone who already has such a bottle - don't take daily. I would buy a lower dose instead, which I do - get enough so your blood tests are within the proper range.

Re: Vitamin D The appropriate amount of vitamin D supplements depends on various factors, including the amount of sunlight you get every day. There are several folks on this thread that are experts in the matter: Subject 57520 By the way, a study came out today showing that there were many more severe cases of Covid-19 in patients with a blood vitamin D level <30 ng/ml, while patients with vitamin D level >30 ng/ml had more mild cases of Covid-19.
