I have written all about Vitamin D on several earlier posts.I have posted several threads and comments on Vitamin D since Covid era. Please read.<snip>As I mentioned before living in SL or in the Sun doesn't help much. With dark skins the Vitamin D synthesis is low. Here's a recent notification from the MOH."Among Sri Lankan adults Vitamin D deficiency was 58.8% and insufficiency 31.4%. Overall around 90% of Sri Lankan adults are not having adequate levels of vitamin D. A study conducted in Southern Sri Lanka (2013) found that overall VDD among community-dwelling healthy women was 56.2%. Another study found the age and sex-adjusted prevalence of VDD was 57.2% in an adult Sri Lankan urban population (2015). Among school children aged 10-18 years (2017), the prevalence of VDD and VDI was 13.2% (95%CI: 11.9%- 14.5%) and 45.6% (95%CI: 43.7%-47.5%), respectively. The results shown imply the high burden of VDD & VDI which suggests the government plan mitigation strategies to reduce the attributed disease burden in the country."Just take 2000IU a day.PS: You can always do a blood test and check.PS; You don't have to take high doses. Keep on using 1000IU or 2000 IU a day. THis is safe. HIgh doses were IV administered during the first SARS infection. It does seem to protect the older people. Generally Vitamin D offers benefits with respiratory diseases even though the exact mechanism is not clear.Many people are deficient and don’t realize it because of no symptoms and doctors don’t routinely check vitamin D levels.All in our household were taking 2000IU after Covid.FYI.. here are my results over a considerable period.29/09/15 Vit D level 56 nmol/L29/05/20 Vit D level 64 nmol/L19/05/22 Vit D level 70 nmol/L14/09/24 Vit D level 96 nmol/LDo NOT take high strength Vitamin D supplements unless you have specific issues that might need a prescription high dose. Too much Vitamin D can be bad as it causes Vit D toxicity.PPS: There are simple low cost (around 10 USD or so) over the counter rapid self tests now available. Check with your pharmacist.</snip></blockquote>
