Early Findings on Vitamin D Therapy and Covid-19

It’s still early, but there’s some new data from one of the first clinical trials to look at a form of vitamin D to treat Covid-19. It’s a pilot study, so the size is small and there are a lot of caveats (there’s not much to takeaway just yet, but the science is interesting). Shin Jie Yong details the latest findings, and what you should keep in mind.

The First Clinical Trial to Support Vitamin D Therapy For Covid-19

Oral calcifediol, the main metabolite of vitamin D3, reduced ICU admission from 50% to 2% among Covid-19 patients.
