Clinical trials are proving that Vitamin D fights COVID-19 in hospitals


5 very successful Clinical Trials of Vitamin D fighting COVID-19 have been published as of Oct 2021 '

  1. COVID-19 defeated by calcifediol form of Vitamin D in Spain - pilot RCT Aug 29, 2020
    • Trial used a faster-acting form of vitamin D which is only available by prescription
  2. COVID-19 defeated 3x faster by 420,000 IU Vitamin D nanoemulsion – RCT Nov 12, 2020 - supplier not stated
  3. 2X fewer COVID-19 deaths observed with 300,000 IU of vitamin D


25 meta-analsysis and reviews as of Oct 2021
In addition, 64 observational studies have found higher Vitamin D to be associated with less COVID-19

Hospitals could try offering 200,000 IU of Vitamin D to those infected with COVID-19
     as soon as possible: After test positive or upon admission

Vitamin D can be obtained at pharmacies both inside and outside of the hospital
Vitamin D typically comes in 5,000 IU capsules (will need 40 capsules)

50,000 IU capsules can be obtained from most medical suppliers or Amazon

No observed problems in the COVID-19 trials, but at rare times Vitamin D should not be used

Vitamin D is also great for the staff and out-patients - 2X reduction in COVID-19 infection
