Vitamin D Supplementation No CoVid Protection

A large Scottish study now reports that low Vitamin D levels show no association with risk of severe CoVid19 infection or mortality. Researchers at The University of Glascow just pre-published this conclusion following their analysis of 656 CoVid patient case reports documented the the UK Biobank.

At first glance, the unadjusted numbers suggested that Vitamin D deficiency might trigger a greater susceptibility of CoVid. A deeper data dive acquitted Vitamin D while indicting advancing age, male gender, socio-economic disadvantage, obesity, and diabetes.

You do want normal Vitamin D levels to maintain strong bones and normal vital organ functioning. Just know that taking extra will not improve your CoVid odds.
