Individual Vitamin D status has been identified as a key factor influencing symptom severity and mortality from contracting the COVID19 virus.
Vitamin D has many beneficial roles in the body that make it an important nutrient for immune support, including:
🌞Enhancing immune responsiveness to deal with acute viral infection
🌞Enhancing long term (adaptive)immunity by assisting with differentiation of immune cells
🌞Anti-inflammatory actions, reducing severity of symptoms during an infection
Testing for Vitamin D involves a blood test.
👉🏻Ask your GP to check your vitamin status.
👉🏻If your Vitamin D level is below 50ng/ml, you should consider supplementing as part of your strategy for strengthening your immune system.
Depending on your level of deficiency, I can recommend dosage protocols to get your levels up. Maintenance dosage is also a good idea if your levels are below 100ng/ml.
