LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS LINKED TO SEVERE COVID-19 SYMPTOMS

Newly released medical research is further suggesting that the “sunshine vitamin” may play a role in how severe your case may be. [get a complimentary Vitamin D booster shot]

“These studies support the notion that vitamin D might be protective against COVID complications,” says Vadim Backman, PhD, a professor of biomedical engineering and medicine at Northwestern University, Chicago. He researched the link between vitamin D deficiency and differences in death rates in different countries.

Among the newest studies:

More than 80% of 200 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had vitamin D deficiency. Patients with lower vitamin D levels also had higher blood levels of inflammatory markers. 

Spanish researchers tested how prescription vitamin D could affect people hospitalized with COVID. Of the 50 who received it, only one needed the intensive care unit (ICU), and none died. Among 26 patients who did not receive the vitamin, 13 needed ICU care and two died.

U.S. researchers evaluated blood samples from 235 patients admitted to the hospital with COVID and then followed them to see how they fared. Patients who had adequate vitamin D levels were less likely to become unconscious or die from COVID. (After the study was published, the journal editors published an ”expression of concern,” questioning whether the sample size was large enough and how the data was analyzed. The study’s author, Michael Holick, MD, a vitamin D researcher at Boston University known for promoting the vitamin, confirmed that a larger study is needed.)
