        Too late. The supplement manufacturers are already reaping their harvest. The lie gets around the world before the truth gets its pants on.

        Habitual use of vitamin D supplements was associated with a 34% lower risk of COVID-19 infection independent of lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and presence of chronic diseases. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ajcn/nqaa381/6123965 …

        I take it because I have now been inside for a year without sunshine and have osteoporosis, not a good combination.

        Did this study take into account Vitamin D levels before starting supplementing? Maybe only beneficial if below a certain threshold.

        The question here is why shouldn't we take vitamin D supplements? You really don't want to have a vitamin D deficiency and get COVID in that condition...https://twitter.com/foundmyfitness/status/1357435567768707072 …

        Profesor XM added,

        Dr. Rhonda PatrickVerified account @foundmyfitness
        It is possible that the best hope for proving a clinical benefit of vitamin D may be in a population-based trial investigating prophylactic vitamin D supplementation lowering the severity of COVID-19 (ie. not resulting in hospitalization). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7398646/ …

        Vitamin D dose & frequency have been shown to be important in randomized controlled trials showing vitamin D can protect against respiratory tract infections. Weekly & daily doses have been shown to be protective but not monthly doses (ie. a single dose). https://www.bmj.com/content/356/bmj.i6583 …
