An international team of scientists has unveiled the latest research on vitamin D intake and the course of the coronavirus. “Ridus”.
Thus, dozens of recent studies have shown that taking vitamin D has a positive effect on the course of the disease. It found that people with normal vitamin D levels tolerated the coronavirus more easily.
In order to better protect themselves from COVID-19, doctors recommended donating blood to the level of vitamin D and, in case of a deviation from the norm, fill the deficit.
People with low vitamin D levels who are infected with the coronavirus have a higher risk of complications, as well as the need to be connected to a ventilator and death.
Additional research has found that 9 out of 10 deaths from COVID-19 could have been avoided if people had adequate vitamin D.
In winter, its level decreases, as people are less outside and see the sun. You need to spend at least 20 minutes in sunlight every day in order to get enough of this vitamin.
For residents of northern latitudes, doctors strongly recommended taking dietary supplements with vitamin D in order to fill the deficit. As the newspaper writes, in many hospitals, doctors have included vitamin supplements in the treatment regimen for coronavirus infection.
So, in addition to standard drugs, patients are administered from 20,000 to 60,000 units of vitamin D.
“Vitamin D is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to help protect yourself from COVID-19 and other viral diseases. Vitamin D is inexpensive and available at any pharmacy. But be sure to check your vitamin level before taking it,” — recommend researchers.
