Low Vitamin D Levels Associated With More Severe CoVid Infections

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/Nlw2NR1XSAM   A global epidemiological study reveals a significant correlation between lower than optimal Vitamin D levels and both numbers of CoVid infections as well as deaths attributed to the virus.  British researchers focused on data from 20 European countries tabulating published average Vitamin D levels and CoVid statistics from each.   Serum vitamin D levels less than 30 nmol/L are considered deficient.  Such deficiencies were found in Spain (26), Italy (28), and in aging Swiss (23).     The investigators note that vitamin D supplementation is proven safe and effective.  If you live in an area that is a virus hot spot, get plenty of sun and check your levels.   https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-21211/v1   #covid #coronavirus #vitamind
