Question about flu/Covid and D3

Recommended Posts

So my husband and I are both down with the flu/Covid. My question is if I take 10,000 IU a day with an occasional sublingual boost once a week of about 15/20,000 IU should I increase a bit knowing the flu depletes the D? I was sick not 2 long ago so I boosted a bit then 2 but this sickness is so bad that I could hardly walk yesterday as my entire body hurt including my joints. As for my husband he has been in bed all day with a 102 fever. We both take zinc and quercetin and I gave him a 50,000 IU D3 as he has not been taking the D. I had what most people would consider a bad headache and fever yesterday but it has subsided the worst of this seems to be bad body ache .. any info on if I should increase even more would be appreciated!

I am so sorry to read this Bosco! 

Ziinc = 50mg/day

C = 2000mg/day

D = 10K/day at least. Likely a 50k boost or two during the week will not hurt, but help.

Quercetin = What you normally take

Both of you should be taking these guys. If not Quercetin, then Benadryl will work great too.

Some hospitals are using this protocol now from the little that I have heard and read over the last year. They know that D and Zinc are a huge help. 

I pray that you both get over it soon! Hugs!!!

Thanks spiny I do take all of the above daily but I've only been taking 1,000 a day of the C so I'll up that. My husband is on again off again with the supplements and is somewhat hard headed...

Smack him!!!!!! :rolleyes: Tell him it is very simple - this stuff will help him get better faster! 

Just kidding Bosco, you have to do it the way that works best for you and him. But I would smack mine for that. B) Beats being sick or having someone in the hospital give it to you. Just sayin............

Also what many hospitals are giving now to their Covid patients. 

You, feel better soon! It takes awhile to get fully over. My sons' family just had it and his face is about back to 'normal' after three weeks. While they were taking the vitamins, his neighbors showed up with a gift box holding all of those and new small toys for his two girls. His taste buds are good to go now! He had it the worst. You know, the luck of the last one to get it is to get it for longer - cold, flu, Covid!
