This happened to us too, until I heard the podcast about Vitamin D. Nipped that in the bud almost immediately.

This is Linus Pauling all over again.
I don't care what was "disproven" or if it's a placebo.

I raised vitamin D intake in winter, I take betaglucans and if I feel like I am starting to get under the weather I take 2-3g of vitamin C per day.

Since we started that, no colds or flus for me or my wife and we have a kindergarten kid.

I heard about vitamin D during covid, and that and hand sanitizer are the only 2 things we still do. I haven't been sick for a few years. Before covid (and vitamin D supplements), it was at least 25 days sick every year, if not more.
What's that? Any particular dosage?
