(12,712 posts)Some studies indicate a benefit from D3 in regards to the immune system. I take 5,000 iu everyday now because of that. Even 1,000 iu can be beneficial though.
Also, there are some studies showing a benefit from melatonin if one is symptomatic. It is about the effect on the cytokine storm.
I am not making any health recommendations to anyone, but I do suggest doing some research and being wary of product claims, which can be misleading.

Also I thought to take bacteria I thought it was important to at the time.
My endro just gave me a script for vitamin D again.
120,000 units 2 times a week. She is a damned good doctor and I am lucky to have her.
She just kicked every magat off her caseload.
The fuckers walked into
Her office maskless.
I'm glad she refused to take thier shit.
The capsules are the most pretty see through emerald green...
I am so thankful I listened to my intuition.
Going to listen to it more in the future. Everytime I blow off my intuition I regret not taking it seriously.
I suggest asking your doctor to give you a script for vitamin D if you can take it.
