Maintaining an elevated Vitamin D3 blood level is one of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself from infection from the flu virus or the current coronavirus. In this age of the COVID-19 pandemic, one would think that doctors and public health officials would be screaming from the rooftops about the usefulness of everyone doing whatever it takes to keep their Vitamin D status at an optimal level. For most people, all this means is regularly taking a supplement. In the time of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend taking Vitamin D3 supplements year-round.

A compelling body of evidence demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of D3 supplementation as a means to increase immunity against colds, flu, and even novel viruses like the COVID-19 virus. This short paper will discuss peer-reviewed literature, dosing recommendations, and safety data on Vitamin D3 supplementation, and provide a short discussion of the biology of Vitamin D3 in human beings.

Vitamin D3 is cheap, easy to use, safe, and it works. Even if you already take adequate Vitamin D3, this short paper provides valuable background and useful recommendations.

When considering a treatment, doctors are always balancing the risks versus the benefits. When few or no treatments are available, and there is a treatment that is less than 100% proven, but which has zero risk, then it is prudent to use that treatment.
