DOES VITAMIN D HELP FIGHT COVID 19? The debate and a dietitian's POV on Vitamin D supplementation.

In this episode of Nutrition with Lorelei – A KITCHEN COUNTER CONTROVERSY – one couple debates. Is Vitamin D helpful in the fight against Covid-19? Do we need to worry about our Vitamin D intake? How can we get Vitamin D in our diets and in our bodies? Do we need to consider supplementing? Lorelei shares her point of view as a Dietitian while Joe takes “the people’s” view.
