Vitamin D can be taken in a large dose once or twice a week ( eg an adult can be given 10,000-20,000 iu once a week).
7. Use an immune supporting nutrient formula daily such as Immuno-Plus or Congaplex for optimal protection. Congaplex, is an immune support formula that has essential nutrients and immune support co-factors found in whole foods and glandular concentrates that help keep your immune system healthy.
