A couple of really interesting studies here regarding C*vid 19 and Vitamin D - the take home message: "Raising serum 25 (OH) D levels to above 50ng/mL will prevent of mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity..."⠀
⠀
"And produces a Mortality rate from C*ovid-19 close to zero."⠀
Sadly the message that many health practitioners have been trying to spread throughout this global pandemic seems to have gotten lost amongst the vaccine race and lockdowns. One of the simplest ways to protect yourself is to ensure you have a serum Vitamin D level between 50-80ng/ml. ⠀
How do you know?⠀
There are several companies on the market offering easy finger-prick testing at home. Thriva, Medichecks and Better You are all trusted testing companies.⠀
I really like Better You as they also include a free Vit D3 supplement oral spray in their cost and will recommend your dosage based on your test results.⠀
⠀
Until we get some decent, quality sunshine again, it is worth considering a supplement!⠀
