Thanks for the tip.  Will "Calcium Plus Vitamin D" work?

Yeah, I'm not too worried about this flu getting out of hand in my case (though last night I had a pretty bad fever).  But I am worried about giving this to my father.  He is 68, gets very sick whenever he catches anything, and he has a long awaited and planned for vacation coming up in July, which would be horrible to spoil with the flu.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Zinc would be better than Calcium. Take the chelated form, it's easier to metabolise.

A useful dose for Vit D is 10-25ug/day. It's almost impossible to overdose on D - you'd need to eat an entire 90 capsule pack every day for a couple of months - so this is a safe basic intake.

You could try if you have symptoms and they're showing signs of getting serious.
