Vitamin D Supplementation No CoVid Protection
from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/brZGskRn4rc A large Scottish study now reports that low Vitamin D levels show no association with risk of severe CoVid19 infection or mortality. Researchers at The University of Glascow just pre-published this conclusion following their analysis of 656 CoVid patient case reports documented the the UK Biobank. At first glance, the unadjusted numbers suggested that Vitamin D deficiency might trigger a greater susceptibility of CoVid. A deeper data dive acquitted Vitamin D while indicting advancing age, male gender, socio-economic disadvantage, obesity, and diabetes. You do want normal Vitamin D levels to maintain strong bones and normal vital organ functioning. Just know that taking extra will not improve your CoVid odds. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.26.20140921v1.full.pdf #covid #vitamind
