Researchers Find ‘Striking’ Link Between Vitamin D Levels and Omicron

A new study looking at the link between severe COVID-19 infection and vitamin D levels has shown what researchers called a “striking” link between your vitamin D status prior to catching the Omicron variant of COVID.

Not only that, new data show that the conventionally recommended vitamin D level of at least 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood are far too low, and should be at a minimum of 50.

“For most people with inadequate sun exposure ‘the only practical way of ensuring good levels ... is vitamin D3 supplements,’ says Prof. Wright. A low vitamin D level "is surely a primary cause pf severe COVID-19."
