I am not big on vitamin supplements at all, although there has been a lot of interest over the lack of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and worse outcomes for covid patients. The study outcomes have been ambiguous, though; here is one below. On a personal note, I take 5,000 IU/per day ordered by my PC because my vit D was so low, to begin with. I don't take it because of covid, however.
