Vitamin D

Vitamin D is one of the most powerful nutrients that support the immune system and increase the resilience of our organs, but more than 80% of my patients are deficient in it.87 A study that looked at 190,000 adults in 50 states found an inverse relationship between COVID-19 prevalence and vitamin D status. Another recent study showed that vitamin D may help lower chronic inflammation and thereby mitigate COVID-19 through its effect on the ACE2 receptor.88 Vitamin D is a disease preventer; it helps promote immune tolerance, maintains proper functioning of immune cells and is vital in decreasing inflammation and lowering insulin resistance. Adequate vitamin D is important for the activation of T cells. A daily intake of 800-2000iu is considered safe and can support cell growth, mineral absorption, bone strength and immune function, but a higher dose might be needed depending on different individuals. Vitamin D can be found in cod liver oil, egg yolks, caviar, mushrooms, fatty fish (salmon and mackerel), and beef liver.
