Vitamin D and the Corona Virus

VIEW:144 DATA:2020-03-20

Vitamin D, active called Calcitrol, is formed from the ingestion of two inactive D vitamins, ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol.

For these two inactive vitamins to become active, it is necessary that the person receives sunlight on the skin.

Research has shown that people with Covid-19 have a low amount of vitamin D. And research has generated values ??that define vitamin D as a protective factor for reducing deaths.

In fact, knowing that the most affected ones, like Covid-19, are the elderly, and therefore they have a vitamin D index, which is usually low. It does not reduce the case that taking vitamin D, and sunbathing, has a real and beneficial health effect.

Vitamin D also contributes to reducing the risk of respiratory infections of viral origin, including infections caused by the coronavirus. The vitamin also has the ability to neutralize lung damage caused by infection of the virus in the lungs.

So, it is a very reasonable idea that you should have a balanced diet with vitamin D. Not excess, but ideal. Nor do you sunbathe excessively to get skin cancer. Usually groups of the population are unreasonable when receiving information and then exaggerate. Vitamin D should be used when necessary and sunbathing is the same.
