I've never heard this, where is it recommended?
My Doctor told me. Also see the NHS page https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-... .
Very useful, thank you.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common especially in people who spend their daytime hours inside and also in dark skinned people living in northern latitudes. In the UK doctors recommend everyone takes a vitamin D supplement in the winter.

You can see the development of the UK guidance.
There's a consensus statement from 2010, here: https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Summerhealth/Documents/Concensus...
And there's discussion of the new guidelines (with links to the newer research) here: https://www.nhs.uk/news/food-and-diet/the-new-guidelines-on-...

Sorry a bit off-topic, but what form of K2 and magnesium do you take? Can you point me to your protocol to reverse calcium buildup?
I can point you to some of the studies on calcium removal. [1] They don't create a well defined protocol, though doctors have formed their own. I take 600mcg K2 MK-7 and 200mcg of K2 MK-4. I alternate between Magnesium-lysinate-glycinate-chelate (bound to L-Lysine and L-Glycine) and Magnesium Citrate. Since I am listing papers I have to point out that I am not a doctor and this is not medical advise. This method has…
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the info.

#264Every time a new D & C19 item comes up, 75+% of the comments are already addressed in my review: http://agingbiotech.info/vitamindcovid19/
This new study is already incorporated there with a couple paragraphs of good discussion in strengths, weaknesses, importance, etc. Broadly, it's consistent with prior evidence but significant for being the 1st controlled trial (even if not random, which would be unethical at this point and thus should be impossible now). It's too bad the control group had so much more comorbidity. Hopefully their multivariate model is trustable for taking baseline differences in the 2 arms into account. The effect size is huge (OR=0.15).
Other common comment topics here (correlation vs causation, sun exposure, burden of proof for correcting deficiency, etc.) are all covered in the review already. If something important isn't covered, email me.

I took > 100,000IU for nearly 3 months (look up the Coimbra Protocol) with no ill effects. Avoid calcium like your life depends on it (even for months after stopping) and you'll likely be fine (I am not a doctor, this is not advice, just sharing my experience.)
I assume you’re saying to avoid calcium supplements, not to avoid calcium?
No avoid all calcium if you’re taking high doses of D on a daily basis.

We're talking an expense of somewhere around 1k total over a period of a few months. While not within everyone's reach (and if a single check is performed say yearly after initial alteration of your diet also an ongoing expense), it's far from an insurmountable cost. Especially considering this directly impacts your day-to-day well-being.
If shouldered by the individual, an extra $1k over a few months, plus however much it costs to keep re-testing, and the cost of supplements or better food to correct the deficiency, is a staggeringly insurmountable cost for the people who need it most—the poor. As you say, this directly impacts day-to-day wellbeing. It's exactly the kind of thing that should, if it's even moderately effective, be provided free of cha…
I agree with you, but I must also admit it's not much of a concern if you live in a country with solid health insurance.
