Getting out in the sun provides a benefit by creating active vitamin D. That helps block attachment of SARS-Cov-2 to the ACE2 receptor. Direct sunlight is the most efficient way to increase vitamin D in the blood. Oral vitamin D requires multiple synthetic steps that rely on vitamin K2, magnesium and restriction of fructose containing foods. The kidneys are the bottleneck in the oral vitamin D pathway.
