Low Vitamin D Levels Associated With More Severe CoVid Infections

A global epidemiological study reveals a significant correlation between lower than optimal Vitamin D levels and both numbers of CoVid infections as well as deaths attributed to the virus. British researchers focused on data from 20 European countries tabulating published average Vitamin D levels and CoVid statistics from each.

Serum vitamin D levels less than 30 nmol/L are considered deficient. Such deficiencies were found in Spain (26), Italy (28), and in aging Swiss (23).

The investigators note that vitamin D supplementation is proven safe and effective. If you live in an area that is a virus hot spot, get plenty of sun and check your levels.
