I've been advocating for the use of Vitamin D ☀️🥛 to bolster our immune response to covid-19 for over a year now. The studies now show that low levels of Vit D are associated with poorer clinical outcomes in those hospitalised with Covid. ✅ Make sure you get your daily dose

Full credit to Deputy Emer Higgins for raising this important issue in the Dáil this week. Our recently published studies from St. James’s Hospital and Connolly Hospital Blanch show much higher death rates in Covid-19 patients who are vitamin D deficient.

More great #clinicaltrials from this group. Given that 50% adults over 50 y and 30% younger adults in ireland have insufficient/deficient #VitaminD, and #immune protection and covid protection - take #vitaminD TILDA

Children and adults should take vitamin D supplements throughout winter, up to March 17th, the Department of Health has advised. Its recommendation goes further than current guidelines, which cover only children up to five and adults aged 65 and over irishtimes.com/health/2024/01…
