Lack of this one vitamin raises COVID-19 infection risk by 77%
[JAMA via WND] A lack of Vitamin D increases the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 by 77%, a study published Thursday by JAMA Network Open found."Given that vitamin D deficiency is common, supplementation of vitamin D intake might reduce the likelihood of developing COVID-19," Dr. David O. Meltzer, a professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, told UPI. He and his researchers found that 22% of the test subjects who had a deficiency of Vitamin D contracted COVID-19. But of the 60% with adequate vitamin D levels, just 12% were infected, UPI reported. "There is prior evidence from multiple sources that vitamin D can enhance both innate and adaptive immunity," Metzger said. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-09-14 |
