Posted by Dave on Wed Aug 18 12:11:09 2021, in response to Re: I TESTED POSITIVE FOR DELTA VARIANT, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Wed Aug 18 11:51:10 2021. From WebMD:One study found that people with low levels of vitamin D had a 7.2% chance of testing positive for COVID-19. Another found that high levels of vitamin D might lower your risk for severe COVID-19 infection, especially if you’re a Black person. The study included over 3,000 people whose vitamin D levels were tested within 14 days before they got a COVID-19 test. Black people who had just enough vitamin D in their blood -- just over the normal limits -- were two times more likely to test positive than those who had even higher vitamin D levels. But another report suggests higher levels of vitamin D don’t lower risk of viral infection, hospitalization, or severity of COVID-19. Researchers looked at more than 1 million people of European ancestry from 11 countries. They also included people with a gene mutation that allows them to have naturally high levels of vitamin D. And a third study found that giving vitamin D to hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 didn’t help their condition or reduce their hospital stay. In other words, ask your doctor what you should do and don't listen to OBS. |
