NUMEROUS RESEARCH STUDIES LINK OPTIMAL VITAMIN D LEVELS TO BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES.
Vitamin D3 is not a “magic bullet” but is often used as part of a healthy lifestyle to help individuals optimize their health.

COVID-19
- Vitamin D and COVID-19: An Overview of Recent Evidence
- "Conclusions: In summary, current evidence supports the links between vitamin D and COVID-19 and the benefits of vitamin D supplementation for managing or treating this condition. Most of the literature reports improved COVID-19 prognosis and outcomes with sufficient vitamin D concentrations, with or without supplementation, with some reporting no significant differences based on vitamin D levels and/or no improvements following supplementation."
- COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status,
and a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL
25(OH)D3: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - "Conclusions: The datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than just a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity."
- SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates associated with
circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels - "There was an association between lower SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates and higher circulating 25(OH)D levels..."
- Analysis of vitamin D levels among asympomatic and critically ill COVID-19 patients and its correlation with inflammatory markers
- "The fatality rate was high in vitamin D deficient (21% vs 3.1%). Vitamin D level is markedly low in severe COVID-19 patients. Inflammatory response is high in vitamin D deficient COVID-19 patients. This all translates into increased mortality in vitamin D deficient COVID-19 patients. As per the flexible approach in the current COVID-19 pandemic authors recommend mass administration of vitamin D supplements to population at risk for COVID-19."
