A member asked:
Is it true that taking 5000 mg vitamin d three days in a row upon initial onset of corona virus symptoms significantly shortens the sickness period?

No solid studies: That I am aware of showing such benefits. Vit D is known to have beneficial general effects on immunity, but regular individuals are expected to get their necessary supply from a balanced diet and having enough sun exposure.

Not sure: There is a suggestion that Vitamin D deficiency can be associated with a hyperactive immune system. We will need to see what studies show.
