Data from 212 COVID-19 patients show that clinical outcomes for how severely you are affected by COVID-19 are directly related to your vitamin D serum levels.

Specifically, study authors said: “For each standard deviation increase in vitamin D level, the odds of having a mild case compared to a severe case were 7.94 times more, and the odds of having a mild case compared to a critical case were 19.61 times more … This means that serum (OH)D levels in the body could account for the clinical outcomes of the patients infected with COVID-2019.”
