Perhaps this might be the break we have all waited for. If Vitamin D really will help to fight it then a lot of deaths will be avoided and even useful productive time and economies will be safe until a viaccine or cure is found

The research revealed a previously hidden spread of the virus that might have been detected if aggressive testing programs had been put in place.

People are being urged to take a vitamin D supplement to reduce their risk of becoming infected with COVID-19.

Patients with sufficient levels of vitamin D are less likely to experience complications and die from COVID-19, according to a new study in the US, while another has found it also reduces infection rates.

Vitamin D sufficiency was linked with a significantly decreased level of inflammatory markets, and higher blood levels of immune cells, in new research from Boston University's school of medicine.

The higher levels of lymphocytes were tied to the reduction in cytokine storms - the release of too many proteins into the blood too quickly - which is one of the ways the coronavirus infections can kill.

Blood samples to measure vitamin D levels were taken from 235 patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19, explained the study published in the journal PLOS ONE.

These patients were followed for clinical outcomes including the severity of their infections, whether they lost consciousness, if they had difficulty breathing to the point of becoming hypoxic, or if they died.

In patients older than 40, those who had sufficient levels of vitamin D were more than 51% less likely to die than patients who were deficient.

According to Dr Michael Holick, who recently published another study finding that sufficient vitamin D can reduce the risk of catching the coronavirus by 54%, the vitamin can also help against other viruses affecting the upper respiratory tract."There is great concern that the combination of an influenza infection and a coronal viral infection could substantially increase hospitalisations and death due to complications from these viral infections," Dr Holick said.

"Because vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency is so widespread in children and adults in the US and worldwide, especially in the winter months, it is prudent for everyone to take a vitamin D supplement to reduce risk of being infected and having complications from COVID-19," he added.

Olodo That one na vitamin A!

To those who have forgotten, vitamin d is gotten from the sun,
When the rays of the sun reacts with the skin it produces vitamun d for the body.
However staying for long under the sun without good sunscreen also causes cancer, thats why its good to get the daily dosage of vitamin d from the morning sun which is always milder and softer on than the afternoon sun.

Typical slave mentality

People on 4chan have already figured this out since Janurary. Thank CNN for thrashing every single info out there, and hailing this virus as the extinction of man. Lockdown will actually kill more people than going outside, why you ask? Because The sun is actually one of the best activator of Vitamin D in the body. It was counter productive to stay in-doors.

There are tens of research papers that talked about this, but as usually, fake news will always prevail.

You can’t get sunshine if you’re locked at home. Also check the past death rate of Both countries pre-Covid and post-Covid and you’ll see not much has changed. I’m sure you know what that means.

Also Zinc supplements with vitamin B and D, Researchers Says Zinc Supplement is good, because it is anti-inflammatory

really tens of thousands?

SmartyPants:


really tens of thousands?

Yes. And not all of them are Covid related.

MikeMicheal:
Vitamin D is about to get expensive.

Anyway, if you eat a balanced diet, you dont need such supplements.
