vitamin D

All of those things and many others are good up to a certain point (and are necessary for healthy immune function). Many people are deficient due to poor diets or for many other reasons, so supplementing may help. With that in mind, mega-dosing such substances is quite dubious overall and may lead to unexpected consequences. While there are some theoretical benefits (via vitamin C for example), there are also many drawbacks to excessive (more than necessary) consumption of such substances as well.

Well what standard do you go by to prevent deficiencies? The RDA? 400mg vitamin D + 60mg vitamin C is really enough? Or does one bump it up to 2000-5000mg and 1000mg vitamin C for good benefits.
Mega dosing is a different story of course, cause we’re talking excess of 10 grams of D and 3g or more of C.
