Whoa, what a concept, right? Vitamin D is the big cold/flu preventer (and K along with it). In the winter, I'm pretty sure we'll still be supplementing with it since the sun is sooooo far away and often not even visible. We (four adults) take 5,000iu about 5 days a week. Fat soluble so you can take them all at once, like every Monday. None of us have had a cold or flu in years. One caveat: I did get a strep bacteria with resulting pneumonia... still investigating how that happened. I was living in a tropical climate, looking into parasites and other potentials.
