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.
They want you to buy things that might cause something else. And then they will sell you and advertise a medicine that cures it, without knowing if it really does!! That is what Obama/Clinton started and what made the creep a billionaire, starting at almost $0.

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.
A Doc told me my vitamin D level was too high…I was hoping to find info on it. You offer but don’t fulfill . I guess you have to get your quota of ads somehow. But it makes me hate the internet and its stupidity even more. Or perhaps it’s because I keep hoping people are honest and get disappointed.

Before taking any kind of supplementation, especially with vitamin D since it is a fat soluble and is stored for many weeks after work, get a vitamin D level done first achieve a baseline, and then supplement if needed vitamin supplements are just that they are to be utilized if you have a deficiency, not a preventative measure so many people take them thinking the boost and build up their immune system works with an actuality it can actually do more havoc on you and as with vitamin D, it takes about three to a month for it to start to stabilize and be utilized by your body after stopping listen to your body your body knows more than any doctor or anybody else?
