Clinical trials are proving that Vitamin D fights COVID-19 in hospitals

5 very successful Clinical Trials of Vitamin D fighting COVID-19 have been published as of Oct 2021 '

1. COVID-19 defeated by calcifediol form of Vitamin D in Spain - pilot RCT Aug 29, 2020
   • Trial used a faster-acting form of vitamin D which is only available by prescription
2. COVID-19 defeated 3x faster by 420,000 IU Vitamin D nanoemulsion – RCT Nov 12, 2020 - supplier not stated
   • Nanoemulsion forms of Vitamin D might be faster acting than Calcifediol (above) if swished in the mouth (gets directly to the blood, is not delayed by gut)
   • 20+ Vitamin D emulsion suppliers on Amazon   Nutrasal Micro D3 1 teaspoon = 200,000 IU
   • but not (yet) available thru pharmacies nor medical suppliers
3. 2X fewer COVID-19 deaths observed with 300,000 IU of vitamin D
   • Non-daily dosing of vitamin D is very important

25 meta-analsysis and reviews as of Oct 2021
In addition, 64 observational studies have found higher Vitamin D to be associated with less COVID-19

• Vitamin D was a top COVID-19 treatment at 4 hospital groups - May 2021
  • 
• Examples: India    China   Spain   France   Turkey   Iran
• Several hospitals in England noticed that those getting loading doses of Vitamin D were 7X less likely to die of COVID-19
  • Perhaps hospitals should restore more Vitamin D levels during COVID-19
• Overviews of observations were published Oct 31   Oct 15   Oct 27
• Virtually no COVID-19 in countries with >30 ng of Vitamin D
• Vitamin D has eliminated ICU COVID-19 in hospital in Dubai since June - Sept 26, 2020 300,000 IU initially

Hospitals could try offering 200,000 IU of Vitamin D to those infected with COVID-19
     as soon as possible: After test positive or upon admission

• Previous Vitamin D studies have found that
  • People at high-risk of low Vitamin D need about 1.5X more
  • Obese need at least 2X more

Vitamin D can be obtained at pharmacies both inside and outside of the hospital
Vitamin D typically comes in 5,000 IU capsules (will need 40 capsules)

50,000 IU capsules can be obtained from most medical suppliers or Amazon

• There are 20+ US Amazon suppliers of 50,000 IU: examples:
• Bio-Tech is Amazon's Choice and preferred by VitaminDWiki
• Nivagen - with 4 capsules in a blister pack that can be given to patients

No observed problems in the COVID-19 trials, but at rare times Vitamin D should not be used

• Some drugs decrease or increase potency when Vitamin D is added
• But, Vitamin D generally improves the efficacy of drugs while reducing their adverse effects – Jan 2020

Vitamin D is also great for the staff and out-patients - 2X reduction in COVID-19 infection

• 50,000 IU daily for a week, followed by 50,000 IU every two weeks works well for healthy, normal-weight adults
• See One pill every two weeks gives you all the vitamin D most adults need
  • 25 health problems proven to be prevented/treated by 50,000 IU once every two weeks
