Taking Vitamin D would reduce the risk of infection. And if you do become infected, it can also ensure that you become less ill. “Why on earth wouldn’t you take vitamin D?” Says Huub Savelkoul, professor of immunology at Wageningen University. “There are so many indications in the scientific literature that vitamin D helps against corona.”
Spanish study
Still, we must take the statement that vitamin D can help against corona with a grain of salt. There is only one study so far that shows that Vitamin D helps against corona.
That Spanish study was conducted among 76 patients who were infected with the corona virus. They all had viral pneumonia and received standard treatment. In Spain this is a daily combination of two medicines, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. In addition, fifty patients received a high dose of vitamin D three times a week. Only one of those fifty patients ended up on the ic. Of the 26 patients who did not receive vitamin D, everyone ended up on the IC. “This is the first formal evidence that vitamin D makes Covid less serious,” Savelkoul told it AD.
