COVID-19 and Vitamin D

In this brilliant lecture, Zach Murphy presents the association between Vitamin D levels and COVID-19.  He touch on all the current evidence available on the association between Vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19. I am not going to say any more about it other then highly recommend watching it.

As I published this post I got a message from a friend with a link to another great video from MedCram which goes into many published studies on that topic

 

Zach’s reference List on the association between Vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19
