Tyler Perry Urges Black People To Increase Their Vitamin D During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Filmmaker Tyler Perry hopped on social media to share the importance of taking a vitamin D supplement as way to protect our health during the pandemic.

The movie mogul posted a short Instagram video Tuesday sharing the benefits of the fat-soluble vitamin that is found in very few foods (such as the fatty flesh of salmon), noting that “it helps with immune and respiratory health.”

“This is not a cure for COVID-19. Please hear me clearly. This is not a cure for COVID-19,” Perry stressed.

Dr. Utibe R. Essien, Core Investigator at the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion at the Pittsburgh Healthcare System spoke with Roland Martin about Perry’s remarks during Wednesday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered.
