...two preprint studies posted March 7, evidence doesn't support supplementing vitamin D to stave off the virus. In one study researchers from McGill University in Canada looked at data from people who were genetically predisposed to vitamin D deficiency. They analyzed whether supplementing the nutrient might lower their risk of infection or severe illness from COVID-19. They found no evidence that supplementing vitamin D could improve coronavirus outcomes.
In another study researchers from Aristotle University in Greece compared the rates of vitamin D deficiency with rates of COVID-19 infection and mortality in 24 European countries, including Finland, Italy, the UK, and Germany. The data did not show a significant link between lower vitamin D levels in the population and higher rates of death and illness...
...it's too early to conclude that supplementing could protect people from infection or complications.
"Vitamin D has been praised for too many things even though we have very limited data for that," Dr Michael Chourdakis, lead author of the European study.
This isn't the first research to cast doubt on vitamin D as a potential coronavirus treatment. A study published in November 2020 found that large doses of vitamin D didn't reduce the severity of COVID-19 in patients.
Despite the new doubts about the merits of vitamin D for coronavirus treatment, there's a large body of research that suggests the nutrient is crucial for a healthy immune system. There's good evidence it plays a role in fighting off viral infection, which could extend to COVID-19.
A study published in October 2020 found that coronavirus patients who were given a highly potent form of vitamin D were significantly less likely to need intensive care, and none of them died. And another study found people with a vitamin D deficiency were twice as likely to be infected.

How about Vitamin A? Does Vitamin A work?
How about quercetin? It is supposed to act as an ionophore to let ionic zinc into the COVID-19 Wuhan virus particle, and stop its reproduction in its tracks.
The secret lies in having high enough zinc ion circulating in your bloodstream, but not so high it becomes toxic.
FACT: Our immune system is the BEST protection against any virus, disease and sickness when taken care of i.e. eating right, exercise and reducing the toxins in our lives as much as possible.....
KNOW this...........This article and other like it is all about “The Love of Money” it is “The root of ALL evil”
Big Pharma, Bill Gates, Demonrats and the LYING MARXIST Media want everyone to get the vaccine and it is NOT to stop the spread of this FLU
THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!
You’re back?!?
The only thing I’ve really done is drop some weight I really should have dropped five years ago. The fact that I was trending towards one of the “at risk” groups gave me the motivation I needed to do that. Other than that I just keep on keeping on.
I’ve grown bored of Fear Porn, myself.
Ha! Of course they come out with this nonsense once word was spreading, fast, about how effective Vit D is at boosting ones immune system and protecting you from WuFlu.
It must’ve been cutting back/disrupting their experimental jab numbers.
These people are so obvious.
They tested a dose of 400 iu per day.
That’s a piss-poor dose of D3.
I take 5,000 iu per day in the summer
I take 10,000 per day in the winter.
I’ve done this for +20 years.
Good for you!
That, and building up your immune system, naturally is the best protection against WuFlu and so many other maladies.
Congrats.
McGill U?
Snort.
You got it++++++
I admit I didn’t read the entire article but I will say that I DO believe Vitamin D3 does work. It’s cheap and the powers that be don’t want you to believe it works because it would take away from the money the pharmas are making with these injections.
I haven’t been sick once since taking D3 whereas I used to get sick with resp. issues at least 3-5 times per year prior to using D3.
‘I remember a pill back in the 70s that was called “Sunshine”.’
But only works half a day! :-)
I’ve been told that magnesium supplements should be taken along with vitamin d3.
What say you?
That’s excellent! And yeah, that’s the most important thing we can do. And it has a lot of other benefits as well.
The government groupies will run with this study and ignore the studies that show the opposite.
Then government will tax you to subsidize medical industry services for people who live on cigarettes and Twinkies.
They want you to embrace the jab. 😣
It’s SCIENCE!
This article wins my "convoluted prose" medal of the week.
I'll stick with my 5000 IU/day plus Vitamin K2 at least until I receive the vaccinations.
Somebody seems to be moving the goal posts again.
Vitamin D3 is a PREVENTATIVE supplement in my non-medical opinion, intended to strengthen your immune system so that you may not even know that you had the virus if you get infected with it after regularly taking D3.
In other words, if you start taking vitamin D3 after you get virus symptoms then you are arguably throwing your money away.
Big Pharma arguably follows the big virus money by pushing vaccines as opposed to pushing D3.
