"I read articles regarding this at the very beginning of lockdown. We’re massively vitamin D deficient in this country. " Yes, I’ve been told by several docs and profs that people in the UK should take vitamin d supplements even if they don’t take multivitamins. | |||

"You piss out most vitamin supplements before they have a chance to be absorbed." Water soluble vitamins you will get rid of what you don't need but D is a fat soluble vitamin so works differently x | |||

"More and more studies are coming out saying that having good levels of Vitamin D in your system helps to prevent you becoming seriously ill if you get the Covid virus. Just google Covid and Vitamin D. Seems like a no-brainer not to take Vit D supplements now. " I now take it everyday | |||

"Had my vitamin D levels tested last week 131.9 nmol/L. I take 3200iu (80micrograms) vitamin D3 per day. I think it's criminal that the government isn't advising everyone to take care of any deficiency in their vitamin D levels." | |||

"I'm seriously deficient in vitamin D and get it on prescription. Discovered it last year after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and the Thyroxine didn't initially take effect. It affects almost every system in the body. I would highly recommend everyone taking a supplement " Have you read this? This is a selection of the thyroid researchers' statements Thyroid UK Statement regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) says At the moment, there is no evidence that people with thyroid disease are at any more risk than people without thyroid disease. and Members of the British Thyroid Association (BTA) and the Society for Endocrinology (SfE) said this: Q Are individuals with autoimmune thyroid disease at increased risk of COVID-19 infection? COVID-19 is a novel virus, so we have no information on how it affects individuals with thyroid disease, however thyroid disease (TD) is not known to be associated with increased risk of viral infections in general, nor is there an association between TD and severity of viral infection. Q Does control of thyroid disease affect infection risk? There is no evidence that those with poorly controlled thyroid disease are more likely to contract viral infections in general. However, it is possible that patients with uncontrolled thyroid disease (especially thyrotoxicosis) may be at higher risk of complications (for example thyroid storm) from any infection. We strongly recommend that patients with thyroid disease continue taking their thyroid medication(s) to reduce this risk. Hope it helps, as there is far too much fake news out there. | |||

Thanks for that. Very interesting. Unfortunately, I also have rheumatoid arthritis, so have been on immunosuppressants for over 20 yrs. | |||

"You piss out most vitamin supplements before they have a chance to be absorbed." You certainly don't piss out the fat soluble ones like Vitamin D. It's excreted bound to bile salts in the faeces. Most Brits are deficient and so very few of us are excreting any. The best Vit D supplement is in an oily capsule or spray, not a chalky tablet. None of us will synthesise any natural Vit D from now till about May, due to the incidence angle of the sunlight striking the UK, which means that the wavelengths of UV, even on bright sunny days, are incorrect for vitamin D biosynthesis. Either you make loads of it during the summer months by being outdoors with at minimum whole arms from the elbow exposed every day for several hours, or you supplement. I supplement because any duration of exposure means I burn. | |||

Added to that the UV-A wavelengths emitted from the sun beds, which are the cause of melanomas and I know this pale skinned Brit would prefer to pop a vit D capsule every day. | |||

" Some of us turn lobster red within 5mins though. I can't go outdoors between April and September without a hat because my head burns. I once toasted my scalp at Tatton Park on an overcast day in early April whilst wearing a warm pullover and wellies. My skin is just pathetic and I don't tan at all. I plump for the factor 50 plus Vit D oil capsules all year round and am doing just fine. | |||

This issue in northern Europe in particular would partially explain why the Black and Asian communities here have suffered disproportionately with Covid too. Their skin absorbs less vitD levels. | |||

"Well I produce my own so happy days lol " You certainly don't in the UK at this time of year, no matter what the weather. Of that we can be sure. None of us do because of the angle the UK is in relation to the angle at which the sun's rays strike us. We are not struck by the right wavelengths of UV-B between approx September to late April. | |||

"It's a well established fact that vitamin D is one of the principal factors in boosting your immune system. It's beyond me why GP's aren't prescribing it in masse to people given most in the UK are deficient in this to begin with." Maybes because we decided to ignore 90% of what we know about viruses and the human immune system and try to start again. There is more evidence of Vitamin D than of most of the measures we have tried. We also know that some Scandinavian nations widely take vitamin D, due to their position and long winters. We also know that the BAME populations in the UK are more deficient in Vitamin D than other population groups. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/perspective/vitamin-d-supplementation.aspx https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1548/rr-6 That leads to a question, has the underlying vitamin D deficiency contributed to the disparity in outcomes of covid patients. | |||
