My anecdote. I learned about the importance of D3 on Steve Gibson's podcast about a decade ago. At the time had a kid in preschool and spent almost the whole year sick, so was quite intrigued.

Started with 1,000 IU a day and getting sick stopped abruptly. For the last decade or so, haven't been sick more than one day, two at max, with one exception.

Yes, believe I had CV in March and "walked it off" in about 6 days or so with mild symptoms.

Last few years I've taken 5,000 IU several times a week (from Trader Joes, which has an excellent price of $4.99). As compared to Albertsons which disgustingly tries to get $15-20 for the same thing. Unfortunately this news has made both C and D unavailable at Trader Joe's for months. We'll run out soon and need to buy the gouging price somewhere else.
