Experiment shows great results suggesting you’re 90% less likely to die if treated with high dose vitamin D on arrival at hospital. This Spanish trial involved almost a thousand (930) patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19, who were randomly given vitamin D or not. Of those given vitamin D, 5% ended up in ICU, compared to 21% in the control group. Only 6.5% on vitamin D died compared to 15% in the control group.

So, if you’re hospitalised with COVID-19, you’d be four times less likely to end up in ICU if you dose up with vitamin D, and three times less likely to die if you do. That means you’re over 90% less likely to die if you are hospitalised with COVID- 19, if you’re dosed up with calcifediol (the pre-converted form of Vitamin D).

The study from a Barcelona ICU is going through peer-review, probably to be published soon in the Lancet, and proves a causal link - not just an association - between vitamin D and COVID-19 mortality.

Patients were given the pre-converted form of vitamin D, calcifediol, 532mcg on day 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30. That’s 2,660mcg over the month. You can’t exactly compare, but that would be 100,000iu over the month.

The vitamin D you make, or supplement, has to be converted into calcifediol, a process that can take three days, thus this form (calcifediol) is more appropriate when an immediate increase in the ultimate hormonal form of vitamin D is needed quickly.

If vitamin D is so important for recovery and such, why on earth are there still people screaming for the lockdown to be tightened(not just UK) to include not even having the outdor exercise part?! And really, you would think more outdoorsy stuff would be encouraged from the government, get that vit D naturally, as much as possible!

Vit D, more healthy in general if outside more, plus outdoors so almost 0 covid risk..hmm

yeah, ive been swallowing vitamin D as well. There is no concrete evidence of it helping against covid, but it does no harm having a supplement over the winter months anyway

It seems that the ‘evidence’ is out there ... but because it’s so ridiculously cheap there’s no money to be made by anyone so....
