Vitamin D and COVID 19 The Daily Mail has published an article today on Vitamin D, citing a study from Indonesia that shows a very significant difference in outcomes for patients that are Vitamin D deficient compared to those with sufficient Vitamin D levels, link here. There have been numerous studies recently published reaching similar conclusions. I have long advocated supplementing with Vitamin D, in babies & children as well as adults, you can read my blog on this site that I first published over 2 years ago. This is the first time we are seeing more and more references to Vitamin D benefits in the main stream media and hopefully it is the beginning of some properly funded sustained research into all the benefits, not just the current COVID link. My recommendation for adults is to supplement daily with 2000 - 2500iu, especially from October throught to March in Ireland. I can reommend a specific dose for your child upon consultation.
