Former CDC Chief: Coronavirus infection risk may be reduced by Vitamin D


Since we're coming out of the colder weather season, most haven't gotten much sun exposure. Hopefully that will blunt Corona.


"Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection, regulates cytokine production and can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza. A respiratory infection can result in cytokine storms – a vicious cycle in which our inflammatory cells damage organs throughout the body – which increase mortality for those with COVID-19. Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations."
