Peer-reviewed RCT Finds that Vitamin D reduces Risk of ICU admission

Actually, the study found that vitamin D reduces risk that a hospitalized Covid-19 patient will need ICU admission. Reduction in severity of disease and in risk of death is suggested by the study. The study implies that this treatment could greatly reduce the severity of the Covid Pandemic. It doesn’t SAY that, but it definitely implies that.

Here’s my article on a New vitamin D study. It is peer-reviewed, and an RCT — randomized placebo-controlled trial. It finds that vitamin D supplementation of Covid-19 patients in the hospital reduced risk of ICU admission by 97%. And hospitalized Covid patients don’t generally die from Covid, except on the ICU. So a reduction in risk of death is suggested also by the study.

Read the studies. Take vitamin D.
