Vitamin D3 Hammer (High-Dose Acute Protocol) for Common Cold
My Symptoms
Woke up with that scratchy throat and achy feeling. Knew I was coming down with something.
My Hypothesis
I had recently read a report on something called a Vitamin D hammer that you could use at the first sign of a cold. The idea is you flood your system with Vitamin D to amp up your immune response.
What I Tried
Vitamin D3 Hammer (High-Dose Acute Protocol)
50,000 IU vitamin D3 as a single dose on day 1 when symptoms started. Took it with a fatty meal for absorption.
Results
Before
4/10
Below Average
Early cold symptoms: scratchy throat, fatigue, slight body aches, that fuzzy head feeling. Normally this would turn into a full-blown cold lasting 7-10 days for me.
After
9/10
Excellent
Symptoms didn't progress like they usually do. I actually felt better the next morning. Never developed into full congestion or the worst of it. Back to normal by day 2.
Timeline to Improvement
2 days
Side Effects
None that I noticed.
Confidence Level
I've tried it multiple times now with similar results.

Conclusion
Seems to help shorten the amount of time I feel sick. Sometimes I feel normal the next day. I use it everytime I feel like I'm coming down with a virus. I have also had my 25-OH vitamin D levels checked multiple times and it's always within normal range. The Vitamin D hammer has become a staple in our house.
