I been to a nutritionist before and he said that we all should be taking extra Vitamin D especially if you have more melanin. He said there’s no way most of us get enough becuz we aren’t outside enough and to just assume you don’t. As far as other vitamins and minerals go look on the back of a multi vitamin bottle. Most of them have enough of what you need for the day especially if you have a decent diet. The ones that aren’t 100% are the ones you wanna supplement or increase the foods that have them. Be cautious about what you put in your body becuz taking supplements without proper knowledge can upset the balance in your body and do more harm then good. Also make sure to take a probiotic so your gut absorbs the vitamins and minerals better

I have a whole bottle of vitamin d in my room and never took it :ohhh:
Just take it with magnesium and Vitamin K2 so it can work properly. Magnesium helps to convert it to the active form in in your body, and K2 to prevent calcium from going to the wrong areas. You can also get K2 from hard unprocessed cheeses and eggs...

while this is true, if you look at a lot of his videos, he seems to amp up vitamin D as this magic cure all.

Don't get me wrong. I take about 5000 IUs/day and I've been doing so for years.

He's done several videos on it and its kinda suspicious to me for someone to focus that much on a single supplement.

I took a course in grad school with Michael Holick, the guy who isolated The vitamin D metabolites, calcifediol and calcitriol. He later was known for hawking his stuff incessantly and it kinda hurt his brand.

He's Theres no causality here and this is merely a meta analysis.

Plus, he's not an expert in this stuff. He's got a doctorate in NURSING :stopitslime:... not a virologist. Not an epidemiologist. etc.

Poor study.

Not everything on PubMed is accurate if you're not trained enough to know what to look for.

People want free lunches out here without having to do the hard work of finding vaccines. Its why they leap towards "natural" cures (FYI, Cyanide is "natural") because they're lazy.
“May reduce the risk”...chill
