Don't go overboard though. There is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity. Also its not a cure nor a vaccine. Its one thing to ensure your body is functioning properly to best fight infections and diseases. Its another thing to generate antibodies.
I’ve been taking 4,000IU a day since around April this year along with a vitamin C supplement, I can’t remember exactly which episode but he covers blood levels to target for what appears to be benefit, you would then need to get your blood levels checked and re assess.

While clinical trials would help provide definitive answers, much like other treatments that have been discussed at length, there’s literally no downside here to the general population being proactive, especially those most vulnerable in the community.
