Vitamin D and the prevention of the Corona virus .. This is what German scientists found!

German experts announced that there is no reliable evidence that the emerging corona virus can be prevented through vitamin D supplementation.

According to the latest report of the German Society for Nutrition, published in the newspaper "Handelsblatt" today, Tuesday, it has also not been proven so far a clear causal effect between the low level of vitamin "D" and the Corona virus in patients taking dangerous pathways of disease, according to the results of studies so far.

The Society's experts examined dozens of studies and observations from various countries.

It is true that there were many reports of positive effects of taking vitamin D on the course of Corona disease (Covid-19), but the studies often had technical deficiencies, because, for example, the level of vitamins among test subjects was not known before they became sick in the first place. , The comparison groups were completely different or were already suffering from risk factors such as obesity or diabetes.

The German nutritionists concluded that "there is no evidence currently that can justify giving vitamin D supplements to people who have an adequate vitamin D level or with the aim of preventing infection with Covid-19 virus or to reduce the severity of disease after infection."

The experts of the German Dietetic Association also stressed the need to avoid taking an overdose of vitamin D, warning that this could lead to kidney stones, as well as kidney calcifications, and to disorders of the cardiovascular system.
