Researchers in Belgium have discovered a "clear link" between low levels of vitamin D and the severity of COVID-19 cases. Studies consistently show that at least 40 percent of the Belgian population has inadequate levels of vitamin D, known as the "sunshine vitamin." But scien...
Vitamin D supplementation has shown favorable effects in viral infections including influenza and HIV. The effects of vitamin D supplementation during covid 19 infection remain controversial. Looking ahead, clinical studies are needed to define better cut offs for vitamin D levels and, finally, which...
But there are 5,000 PubMed studies that point to the fact that Vitamin D has a beneficial effect to help support the health of the immune system in general. Whether it is viruses or the Covid virus, what we have to look at here is the fact that it’s not just Vitamin D having ...
In several of his videos, he has discussed the role of vitamin D in immunity and highlighted studies suggesting that vitamin D supplementation could prevent COVID-19 or reduce the severity of symptoms. Vitamin D is a controversial topic in both nutrition and medicine. Our founder, Professor Tim...
In a retrospective study of patients tested for COVID-19, researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine found an association between vitamin D deficiency and the likelihood of becoming infected with the coronavirus.
Vitamin D is a hormone the kidneys produce that controls blood calcium concentration and impacts the immune system. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a variety of health concerns, although research is still underway into why the hormone impacts other systems of the body. Many studies point...
Though high quality randomized controlled trials are lacking, some observational and interventional studies that explore the link between vitamin D and RTIs exist. Vitamin D modulates both innate as well as adaptive immunity and may potentially prevent or mitigate the complications associated with RTIs...
Objectives Extensive evidence links low vitamin D status and comorbidities with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes, but the results of published studies are contradictory. Therefore, we investigated the association of lower lev... P Mishra,R Parveen,R Bajpai,... - 《Journal of Preventiv...
Meltzer and his team emphasize the importance of experimental studies to determine whether vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk, and potentially severity, of COVID-19. They also highlight the need for studies of what strategies for vitamin D supplementation may be most appropriate in specif...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is supposed to cause vitamin D deficiency in many people by a direct effect of home quarantine in the affected countries. Generally, vitamin D provides the human body with significant health benefits including bone development, specific gene regulation...
