Vitamin D during Covid-19 A review of information

Vitamin D is an important factor in maintaining bone health to avoid osteoporosis. Vitamin D has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of many types of cancer and increase survival. Adequate vitamin D may eliminate some depressive symptoms.    It is established that vitamin D is beneficial for bone health and our studies demonstrate the importance of vitamin D for athletic performance within UK university students tooVitamin D is important for bone metabolism, and regulates calcium concentrations in the blood. Since vitamin D is absorbed in the small intestine, a leaky and inflamed GI tract which is in people with low thyroid function reduces the absorption of vitamin Vitamin D is a potent immune modifying micronutrient and if vitamin D status is sufficient, it could benefit vulnerable adults, in particular, those 70+ years and older who are cocooning during the COVID-19 outbreak, concluded the report.  The current recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 600 IU daily for people from 1 to 70 years old and 800 IU for people over 70. Vitamin D has been proven to reduce the risk of getting the common cold. In 2017, a large analysis of prospective clinical trials showed that taking vitamin D reduces the odds of developing a respiratory infection by approximately 42% in people with low baseline levels of Vitamin D Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations. Whether from diet or supplementation, having adequate vitamin D is important, especially for those at the highest risk of COVID-19. Vitamin D may not prevent the virus but could help the host and how they deal with the virus. Thus supplementation of vitamin D is more important as we age. There is a very good reason why vitamin D have linked with cov19 Science supports the possibility although not the proof that Vitamin D may strengthen the immune system, particularly of people whose Vitamin D levels are low. It has both anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties and is crucial for the activation of immune system defenses. Vitamin D is known to enhance the function of immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages, that protect your body against pathogens. Findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency may partly explain the geographic variations in the reported case fatality rate of COVID-19, implying that supplementation with vitamin D may reduce the mortality from this pandemic. A higher level of vitamin D is linked to a reduction in IL-6 levels, the latter being a proinflammatory cytokine. Vitamin D is an immunomodulator, acting through the innate immune cells called dendritic cells as well as the adaptive T cells. As we age, our ability to make vitamin D is reduced by 75%. Vitamin D is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have at our disposal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vitamin D can be stored in the body in fat cells for an average of three months. During periods of sunlight, vitamin D is stored in fat and then released when sunlight is gone suggesting that adequate levels of Vitamin D promotes good sleep.Core Health DarienDr.Brian McKay I am a practicing chiropractor with 30 years of experience.
