I know a heavy set girl who had a vitamin D deficit and was taking 5,000 mgs of vitamin D before Covid. She works in the health industry and got a mild case of covid early on.
Her doctor told her it was a good thing she was taking vitamin D and she did fairly well for being heavy and having asthma. She was also put on steroids and had a breathing inhaler. Some people are sent home with covid and get nothing , no meds, nothing.
Many Americans are vitamin D deficient - especially those in northern states. Almost all black Americans are deficient. So it proves little. Know what really works? Vaccination. Why pop pills and hope for the best when a very effective and safe vaccine is at your nearest pharmacy? One can always take D after being vaccinated for whatever benefits it may offer.
Maybe helps, I take 50k mil per week and I did get COVID. But I was 1/2 vaxed -so not sure if the vita or vax or meds got me out of it in a week or so. But at 68 - I am grateful.
The article states that they are looking to start a clinical trial to show if there are any true effects. Should be interesting.
