Vitamin D and its correlation with lowered COVID-19 mortality
Vitamin D3
After watching this video, we find that an optimum level to combat the worst effects of COVID-19 is to achieve a Vitamin D level of 50 ng/ml. To achieve this level, you need to have both Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2. The formula to determine the correct amount of Vitamin D is as follows:
Body Mass in Kilograms * 60 if you prefer metric
or
Basic daily vitamin D dosage = Body mass in pounds * 27
Metric
| Body Mass Calculation | Calculation | Daily Vitamin D (IU) |
|---|---|---|
| 90 kg adult | 90 x 60 | 5400 |
| 45 kg teenager | 45 x 60 | 2700 |
| 22.5 kg child | 22.5 x 60 | 1350 |
Imperial
| Body Mass Calculation | Calculation | Daily Vitamin D (IU) |
|---|---|---|
| 200 pound adult | 200 x 27 | 5400 |
| 100 pound teenager | 100 x 27 | 2700 |
| 50 pound child | 50 x 27 | 1350 |
This calculation works for any size of a person, any age, male or female (pregnancy included). Using this formula, it is easy to determine what the daily requirement of Vitamin D. I go grocery shopping each week making this the only point of exposure that I am at greatest risk. Consequently, I double my dosage the evening before or the morning of my shopping.
Vitamin K2
One of the roles of Vitamin D is that it helps the transport of calcium. By itself, it will put calcium into your soft tissues. This causes cataracts in the eyes and hardening of the arteries. Vitamin K2 makes sure the Vitamin D2 moves the calcium into your teeth and bones - the hard tissues. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good calculator to recommend dosages. I did find this information in this article How to combine vitamin D and vitamin K properly:
People who take anticoagulant medications minimum supply for healthy people under the age of 50, who do not take additional vitamin D3 as a dietary supplement: 45 mcg vitamin K2 per day
Healthy people under the age of 50, who do not take any additional vitamin D3 or all people, who take up to 2500 IU Vitamin D per day: 100 mcg vitamin K2 per day
People with a family history of cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis or who have first symptoms of cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis or who take more than 2500 IU Vitamin D per day: 200 mcg Vitamin K2 per day:
Since there hasn't been a case of Vitamin K2 toxicity (there is with K3), I would assume that it is safe to increase the Vitamin K2 to by 200 mcg per day for each additional 2500 IU of Vitamin D3. Keep in mind, I am neither a doctor nor a nutritionist. If you develop a rash, this isn't an overdose but a reaction so step back from this. Also, the half-life of Vitamin K2 is quite short so having it multiple times in a day is better than one single dose.

Much appreciated.
We can get vitamin D from the sun. I suppose that during the winter in some countries they do not have the possibility to obtain this vitamin through the sun. So this is a great article.
Part of it is lack of sun, some of it is cultural (see the Middle East). I think a some of it has to do with the amount of time that people spend at work.
