IMMUNITY

The Impact of Vitamin D on COVID

In FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE we don’t wait for the disease to arrive.

We take proactive steps to OPTIMIZE our systems so that our bodies have a better chance of fighting off viruses and other diseases.

Vitamin D has been shown to have a significant impact on the immune system.

The Boston University School of Medicine published an article showing that adequate levels of Vitamin D reduces complications and death among COVID-19 patients.

They found that patients age 40 and above with adequate levels of Vitamin D are 51.5% less likely to die from COVID-19 compared to patients with low levels of Vitamin D.

They also discovered that patients with adequate Vitamin D levels are 54% less likely to get COVID-19 in the first place.

At LEVEL UP we are offering a SUNSHINE SHOT with 50,000 units of Vitamin D / ml for $40

As we enter the FALL & WINTER seasons of this pandemic, COVID-19 cases have been increasing.

Although we do recommend taking Vitamin D orally, the intramuscular shot is a fast way to boost the immune system and the benefits can last for up to 6 months.

Additionally, many of us have the VDR (Vitamin D Receptor) genetic variant that makes it harder for us to absorb Vitamin D.

This along with the use of sunscreen make it important to take the extra steps to keep the Vitamin D levels in the adequate range.

Below are some of the benefits of VITAMIN D:

·      Enhanced immune function
·      Can improve depression
·      Can increase bone density
