Israeli Study: 1 in 4 COVID patients hospitalized while vitamin D deficient die.

Israeli Study: 1 in 4 COVID patients hospitalized while vitamin D deficient die. By Nathan Jeffay.

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are far more likely to die or to end up in severe or critical condition if they are vitamin D-deficient, Israeli researchers have found.

In a study conducted in a Galilee hospital, 26 percent of vitamin D-deficient coronavirus patients died, while among other patients the figure was at 3%. …

Numerous studies have been conducted on the association between vitamin D levels and the SARS-CoV-2 infection, and they have produced mixed results. Most of them measured vitamin D levels once patients were already sick, which can complicate interpretation of the results.

So get some sun and take some vitamin D supplements, before you might get covid.
