          I’m glad I got the chance to meet you !

          I got the shots because I figured I am in the age class that might get a bad case if I got it. Well that and the fact that she who must be obeyed said we were signed up. I had already lost a bunch of weight and was in better health. I take a multi vitamin with all that in it but ahlso take a C and a D. I have a bag of everything else if I feel like I need to take them. Basically I have done what my grandmothers told me years ago. Was my hands, stay away from sick people or those that look sick. Eat well and take my vitamins. If I get sick my children know where all my vitamins etc are and do not let me go in the hospital.

          If you get it the older people I know here who had Covid went to get the bag of plasma with antibodies and have come out singing it’s praises. I think you’re good. I think I have everything lined up in case I get it!

            I would just read the bottle and take the recommended dosage.

            I've been taking vitamin D3 for a year and a half now. From everything I read back then, D3 is what you want.

Tried all the wart remover stuff too... vitamin D and/or zinc killed that virus.
              Same thing happened to me. Within days of taking ivermectin, zinc, and vitamin D had a wart literally just fall off my finger I’ve had for years.

              Something to remember is just because you’re in the sun doesn’t mean you’re getting vitamin D.

                Hard tell you what to do without a baseline.
                Had the same thing show up on my physical last month. Doc put me on capsules. I told him I live in the sun. He asked me if I wore sunscreen & or long sleeves & long pants,. I told him all the above, he said the sun isn't getting to you.

                  Im a big believer in Vitamin D. Believe everyone should be taking it. Ive been taking 10k iu/day for years now. If you shop at Costco they have a good, very affordable bottle.

                    I've been taking 15K-20K IU of D3 a day for over a year and my levels were still only 44. Need to get them to at least 60.

                    Checking your levels is the only way to know if you are deficient.

                      Same here on the D level. Thought for sure being in sun would help but doctor told me it doesn’t absorb fast enough and it washes off during showering.

                          I take vitamins D C and Zinc daily. I have for years. I’ve been exposed many times times to COVID and have yet to catch it. I was told Those vitamins are really good immune system boosters. I’d say they worked for me.

                            I am in the sun a whole lot, 20+ days a month, and I am vitamin D deficient. I've been taking D3 for a year now. Not a big deal. Just get tested and then re-test periodically.

                              I take the liquid dropper of D once a week. Last blood work was spot on.

                                I keep hearing you have to have some fat in your diet for proper absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. I cannot imagine that being a problem with Texans.
