There is now a third study on the use of Vitamin D as a way to possibly reduce the risk of acquiring this potentially life-threatening viral infection.

• A study by the Boston University has shown that having sufficient levels of Vitamin D can prevent the conditions of Covid-19 patients’ from deteriorating and it can even reduce their need for oxygen.
• The researchers at the Boston University stated that only 9.7% of patients who were older than 40 years of age and who were vitamin D sufficient succumbed to the infection
Compared to 20% of people who had a circulating level of less than 30 nanograms per milliliter of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D; a measure of Vitamin D in the body
• CRP or C reactive protein is commonly analyzed to check the inflammation levels caused by an infection. The higher the inflammation, usually the greater the infection
• A significant reduction in serum CRP, an inflammatory marker, suggests that vitamin D sufficiency also may help modulate the immune response, possibly by reducing risk of a cytokine storm in response to this viral infection.
• During the study, the Vitamin D levels of 235 hospitalized COVID-19 patients were measured
• Author of the study, Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD, Professor of medicine, physiology, bio-physics and molecular medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine said:
“This study provides direct evidence that vitamin D sufficiency can reduce the complications, including the cytokine storm and ultimately death from COVID-19.”
A cytokine is a small protein important in the cell signaling process.
A cytokine storm is where too many proteins are released into the blood too quickly, which can be deadly
• Patients who were Vitamin D sufficient had significantly lower blood levels of the inflammatory marker CRP and had a higher total blood lymphocyte count; this suggests that Vitamin D sufficiency had improved their immune function
• The researchers concluded that the beneficial effect on the immune system may also reduce the risk of acquiring this potentially life-threatening viral infection in the first place
• Only 32.8% of participants in the study had sufficient Vitamin D levels.
The severity of clinical outcomes from COVID-19 and mortality were reduced in patients who were vitamin D sufficient.
• Clinical features were also significantly different in patients who were Vitamin D sufficient, they had a lower risk of becoming unconscious and becoming hypoxic.
In a Time magazine article, the CDC states the following information for the most at risk groups
• adults 65 and older and people with chronic lung or heart disease
• people who are immune-compromised (such as those with HIV)
• the severely obese (BMI over 30)
• people with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
• people with liver disease
If you are in a high-risk group, get a blood test and see if you are lacking in vitamin D, if you are, start to supplement
Vitamin D is a relatively cheap supplement and you may be able to get it prescribed, but make sure you also take Vitamin K2
Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and multiple other biological effects. In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). The major natural source of the vitamin is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of skin epidermis through a chemical reaction that is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation). Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can be ingested from the diet and from supplements. Only a few foods, such as the flesh of fatty fish, naturally contain significant amounts of vitamin D.
In the U.S. and other countries, cow’s milk and plant-derived milk substitutes are fortified with vitamin D, as are many breakfast cereals. Mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet light contribute useful amounts of vitamin D. Dietary recommendations typically assume that all of a person’s vitamin D is taken by mouth.
