How Vitamin D Lowers Mortality Rates Of Infections, Including COVID-19:

Part 1:
The impact of vitamin D on hospitalization and mortality rates from COVID-19.

Part 2:
The benefits you could achieve by increasing vitamin D levels to 125 nmol/L (50 ng/ml).

Part 3:
How vitamin D affects the immune system to lower mortality rates of infections, including COVID-19.
