Among vitamins, D, C and zinc are now popular.
– This is also justified in the context of the spread of coronavirus infection, because with a lack of these elements, the course of the disease becomes heavier, and the recovery period is lengthened. This vitamin composition is necessary for a person to get better as soon as possible, says Dr. Yulia Podaneva.
Julia Podaneva is a general practitioner of the medical center, work experience – 17 years.
Often, patients drink them in increased doses. Yulia Podaneva believes that an overdose of vitamins D and C is unlikely, because the body is usually deficient in these elements, and patients still drink average therapeutic dosages.
It is safe?
Before taking vitamin D, it is advisable to determine its blood level and consult with a specialist. Like any drug, vitamin D has contraindications for use.
– Before you start taking vitamin D to prevent ARVI and other infections, get tested for the level of vitamin D or C in the blood. And already, depending on the result, you can select the dose, – recommends the infectious disease specialist Dmitry Kapustin.
