Mandatory Vitamin D?
« on: September 28, 2020, 01:31:18 PM »
STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Based on data from 191,779 American patients, people with a vitamin D level of at least 55 ng/mL (138 nmol/L) had a 47% lower SARS-CoV-2 positivity rate compared to those with a level below 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L)
  • Based on data from 7,807 Israelis, those with a vitamin D level above 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) had a 58% to 59% lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 compared to those with a vitamin D level below 29 ng/mL (74 nmol/L)
  • Having a vitamin D level below 30 ng/mL also approximately doubles your risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19, Israeli researchers found
  • Spanish researchers found giving hospitalized COVID-19 patients supplemental calcifediol (a vitamin D3 analog) in addition to standard of care lowered ICU admissions from 50% to 2% and eliminated deaths
  • An August 2020 study found patients who had a vitamin D level below 12 ng/mL (30 nmol/L) had a 6.12 times higher risk of severe disease requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, and a 14.7 times higher risk of death compared to those with a vitamin D level above 12 ng/mL

I swear this is the hundredth nutrient I've seen advertised as massively lowering your risk of getting COVID.

It's probably just a case of "malnourished people are unhealthy" and "unhealthy people are more likely to get sick".

Started D3, Elemental Zinc, Elderberry, and B-Complex on Saturday.  I don’t know which one, if not all, were missing from my diet, but I immediately felt 100 times better than normal after starting the regimen.  I highly recommend the same.  We will need our strength going into whatever it is that is on the horizon this Fall and Winter.

I’m not so sure on this one.  My own doctor has me on vit. D because I have several risk factors for getting COVID.

Years ago my doctor put me on Vit D. Not being a medication on prescription there was nothing in it for her. I had to take 5 a day for a month, then 4/day/month and so on till I was on 1 a day, still today. I never even so much as catch a cold.

The superior way to get Vit d is through exposure of the bare skin to sunlight, but older skin does not work so well as younger skin. When your on a good thing stick to it. It’s cheap and easy to take.
