Does vitamin d deficiency cause severe covid hospitalization?

COVID 19: Studies have shown that in some countries where low vitamin D levels appear to be more prevalent that there can be higher COVID 19 mortality rates. However, I can answer your question definitively. REF: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(20)30183-2/fulltext

Best if adequate: There seems to be some disagreement amongst physicians regarding Vitamin D and COVID-19. To be safest, recommend taking supplements, about 800-2000 units of D-3 daily. Check serum levels, usually best above 30 ng/ml, but could be adequate as high as 50-70 ng/ml. To discuss further, a HT virtual consultation may be helpful.
