While low levels of vitamin D have been linked to a higher risk of infection and severe illness, a new study conducted by researchers out of McGill University in Montreal reported that there is no genetic evidence that the supplement works as a protective measure against the coronavirus.
“Vitamin D supplementation as a public health measure to improve outcomes is not supported by this study. Most importantly, our results suggest that investment in other therapeutic or preventative avenues should be prioritized for COVID-19 randomized clinical trials,” the study’s authors wrote.
