Short term, high-dose Vitamin D supplementation for Covid, a randomised trial

60,000 IU is a ton, but very interesting.

A clinical study on very high dose Vitamin C in China needed to be halted because the virus was under control there and they were unable to recruit any infected study participants. Would be very interested to see the same study attempted here.

Also have seen reasons to be hopeful about high dose melatonin, zinc, allicin, curcumin, magnesium, and NAC.

Important note for those only skimming the article: all participants in this study were vitamin D deficient (25(OH)D<20 ng/ml) individuals.

The same treatment has reportedly been used successfully to treat influenza since at least 2015. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4463890/

Interesting that the intervention seems that effective. The difference between the groups is stunning.

I am a Vit D3 taker, not because of Covid, but because my levels years ago were very low, and they need to be maintained in the reference range, which is easy to do with supplementation by https://www.vitasave.ca/ . I need to stay out of the sun as I'm very fair, burn quickly, and don't want any (more) skin damage or freckles or age spots, so using sunshine to build levels isn't the right solution.

Anyone knows if that is common?: "Data availability statement - Data are available upon reasonable request."

It's fascinating how obsessed this site is with vitamin d. I mean I take it myself but really y'all are fixated on it
