2. Vitamin D deficiency and respiratory illnesses
Some research has shown that vitamin D supplements may help in managing or preventing COVID-19. While studies are still in their early phases, past research does show that respiratory infections are among the illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency.
One study analyzed data from 25 clinical trials that looked at the impact of the nutrient on respiratory infections, including sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Of the 11,300 participants, experts found that people who took vitamin D were 12% less likely to develop respiratory conditions compared with people who didn’t take the vitamin. However, researchers pointed out that there were limitations. For instance, they didn’t have information on who had received a flu shot, which may have impacted their risk for respiratory illness.
One thing’s for sure, experts noted: vitamin D plays a role in our body’s ability to fight off infection, and a deficiency of this nutrient increases our susceptibility to infection. This being said, respiratory infections may be among the illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency, but we don’t have specific research results that allow experts to make a definitive conclusion.

I really hate when this happens. You say 10 health diseases with low Vitiam D, but never say what they are. If you going to start please finish.
Ask my doctor, no money in telling patients to take preventative measures for future illness.
What are the 10 illnesses?

Same goes for this company selling a bottle of vitamins, slapping their name on the bottle & selling to nerve problem patients instead of just informing patients of the name & formula of these vitamins. Shame, shame.
