There has been a trial to the effectivity of vitamin D in helping us
fight against the COVID-19. It is said the vitamin help boost our immune system
and protect us from respiratory diseases wherein COVID-19 is one.
Deficient levels of it in our body make us susceptible to diseases, particularly
as the news said to respiratory diseases like COVID-19. There has been news
that people in UK and US have deficient levels of vitamin D and were ask to
take the vitamin.
“In clinical studies worldwide, researchers are
testing the possibility that supplements of the vitamin could prevent or
decrease the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections.”(The Scientist)
“Principal investigator David Jolliffe said the
trial "has the potential to give a definitive answer" to the question
of whether vitamin D offers protection against Covid. "Vitamin
D supplements are low in cost, low in risk and widely accessible; if proven
effective, they could significantly aid in our global fight against the virus,"
he said.”(BBC)
“Vitamin D plays
many important roles in your body, including promoting the health of your
immune system. Scientific research suggests that supplementing with vitamin D
may protect against respiratory infections, especially among those who are
deficient in the vitamin. Recent research indicates that sufficient vitamin D
levels may help people with COVID-19 avoid adverse outcomes.” (Health Line)
