Scientists in the UK are urging people to add vitamin D to common foods like bread and milk to fight Covid-19.
Nevertheless, Public Health in England and the Department of Health and Welfare have rejected calls from scientists to add vitamin D to foods such as milk, bread and orange juice, which is a practice in Finland, Sweden, Australia, USA. BA and Canada, reports The Guardian.
The human body gets vitamin D partly from sunlight and the rest through food. Recently, scientists have linked vitamin D deficiency in the body to a higher risk of becoming infected with Covid-19 or a higher risk of having severe symptoms.
Other research shows that patients with lower vitamin D levels who are diagnosed with Covid-19 tend to have worse symptoms. However, not all studies link this vitamin to protection against the virus. Many scientists are observing the importance of vitamin C and zinc. In one study, experts in Spain reported that patients with low blood zinc levels were more likely to die from Covid-19.
There is currently no widely accepted study on all the cause-and-effect relationships of vitamin D and coronavirus, however evidence to date proves that its deficiency in the body can cause problems and not just with Covid-19.
However, its importance for a stronger immunity has been acknowledged by all researchers. We emphasize that vitamin D, in addition to vitamin C and zinc, is given in the medical prescription for those infected with Covid-19.
