Vitamin D levels of 40 ng/mL and above confer a better immune-protective response to
several infections, including COVID-19, a pan India Survey of 2,338 pan-India Doctors has
brought to consensus for the very first time.
The consensus has been brought on the basis of a KAP survey on doctors.
About 30% of HCPs participated in the survey reported that 60-80% of the patients have
vitamin- D deficiency, while 32% of HCPs said that 40-60% have Vitamin-D deficiency.
The author’s panel recommended vitamin-D supplementation of 60,000 IU/week for 2 to 6
months and 2,000 IU/day for 3 to 6 months in vitamin-D deficient patients for optimal
response to therapy in COVID-19 patients.
The study also recommended considering the daily intake of Vitamin D at a dose of 2,000 IU
in elderly patients .
