The current study, published in the journal FEBS, the research team examined data of 7807 people who recently underwent a COVID-19 test as well as a Vitamin D blood test. The findings showed that low levels of Vitamin D in the blood was identified as independently associated with the likelihood of COVID-19 infection. According to […]

Vitamin D stimulates Cathelicidins and Defensins to lower viral replication rates Reduces  concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines that produce inflammation and injures to the lining of the lungs Vitamin D increases concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines A study conducted in Connecticut revealed that Vitamin D concentrations of 38ng/ml or more were associated with 2 times reduction in

Calcitriol has been found to induce the transcription of antimicrobial peptides – such as cathelicidin and defensin. Functional VDR has been identified in almost all immune cells, including neutrophils and antigen-presenting cells. In vitro studies have shown that vitamin D decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases the production of antiviral proteins, suggesting an

A new cohort study involving 9940 men and women has added to the mounting research to indicate Vitamin D supplementation may reduce the seriousness of COVID-19 infections. It has been suggested that Vitamin D3 supplementation could be a potentially promising and safe approach to reduce risk of COVID-19 infections and deaths. Meta-analyses of randomized clinical

A recent study conducted by Quest Diagnostics and Boston university stating the associations between Vitamin D levels and COVID 19 risk continues to strength indicating that people with low levels of Vitamin D may have a significantly higher possibility of showing high positive rate of SARS -CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 positivity rate was higher in the

A new study has found an association between low average levels of vitamin D and high numbers of COVID-19 cases and mortality rates across 20 European countries. Previous observational studies have reported an association between low levels of vitamin D and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infections. Vitamin D modulates the response of white blood
