Dr Afrika explains the importance of Vitamin D and why African Americans may be at greatest risk of developing COVID-19 due to Vitamin D deficiency.
African Americans have low vitamin D levels and therefore are at GREATEST risk of complications from COVD-19.
Research has shown that vitamin D supplentation helps respiratory tract infections.
African Americans are deficient in the vitamin and will bear the brunt of Coronavirus fatalities.
Especially those living above 37th parallel(the Vitamin D line) e.g. ST Louis ,Chicago New York MUST supplement in winter. Doctors recommend 5,000 units daily for melanin dominant individuals.
African-Americans have a population mean serum 25(OH)D level of 16 ng/mL, whereas white Americans have a level of 26 ng/mL. Africans on the continent is 40 ng/mL. Basically based on genetic factors it’s no wonder why African Americans are dying at a higher rate.
