Fresh fruit and vegetables are affordable for most, but they definately arnt cheap compared to most prepackaged or manufactured foods.

Good food = no supplements required.

True, unfortunately unless you live by the ocean in California with your own private ranch and farm, fishing launch (I know you live in Aspen, it's basically the same) you probably aren't getting as good of food as you think.

Don’t need to live by the ocean to get a good source of fish.

Sardines are cheap and packed full of nutrition.

You can eat super healthy even on a student budget.

Part of a nutritious diet...



On a side note, frozen fish is really cheap. 6 huge basa filets for $6 on sale. Used it in soups and pasta, delicious.

The canned smoked conger eels are good.

What does it look like, where to get, and does it ever go on sale?

I usually keep frozen eel on hand but it's getting very pricey these days.

Careful those frozen fish aren't farmed in China. The cheap stuff is and they feed those fish feces from cows and other mammals.
As in they contain biowaste like medicine.
Google Talapia fed feces China.

Basa filets packaging says it's farmed in Vietnam.

The eel is cheap and you can find it at superstore/walmart in the Asian aisle. Rio Mare Tuna is cheapest at Costco - this is the best canned Tuna we have around here. Wild Mackerel from Costco as well.
The Italian markets/Sunterra sell canned fish from Portugal/Spain that are delicious but overpriced.

If your diet is good, I figure there's really only a few critical supplements that you need, vit D being one of them.

On that note, I find this channel very interesting, not just on covid information but general physiology. The presenter is really good at portraying concepts in laymans/non-medical terms.

Coles:
2 small studies on vit D, both have very significant results in patients clearing the virus and staying out of ICU.
What I found interesting, is that in one of the studies patients were given 60,000IU (!!!) x 7 days and it still didn't result in ng/ml >50 in some patients.
Conclusion being large amounts of vit D3 during initial stages of diagnosis appear to result in less severity.

I don't know if I would be comfortable downing a whole bottle of vit D drops, but either way, its a bit unfortunate there isn't more research in this area.

Thanks, I'll give the eel a try. I always wanted to try Rio but never pulled the trigger.
