Vitamin D Deficiency May Boost Covid 19 Risk . As the warmth of summer bids its farewell, along with its ability to provide adequate UVB for vitamin D production, it’s going to harder for people to produce vitamin D . We already know that research has shown the benefit of adequate vitamin D in case severity of Covid-19 and now, new research is pointing to sufficient levels preventing contraction of the virus all together!... . A cohort study (N=489) showed those with vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels <20 ng/mL) had a 1.77x increased risk of contracting Covid-19 . As we wind down into these fall/winter months, it may be a good idea to get your D levels checked or supplement with a preventative dose of vitamin D . Highest Risk of Deficiency: People of Color (Melanin in the skin prevents UVB absorption) . Live above the 35th parallel in latitude (especially Oct-Mar) . Careers that prevent sun exposure (Indoor Athlete, Shift Worker, Health Care Worker, Office Worker) . >55yrs of age . Being obese or overweight (Vit D is a fat soluble vitamin) . Diagnosed Diseases (celiacs, IBD, Crohns, Kidney/Liver Disease) . . I am a licensed naturopathic doctor and can get vitamin D levels checked! .
