Vitamin D, Immune System & SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) | Mechanism of Vit D Immune Regulation & Overview

Vitamin D, Immune System & SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) | Mechanism of Vit D Immune Regulation, Overview of Evidence

In this lesson, I discuss the vitamin D its immune system regulation, specifically with regards to how vitamin D can help protect against respiratory tract infections like SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

1) Brief Introduction to Vitamin D and SARS-CoV-2

2) Vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of infections

3) Vitamin D supplementation and protection against acute respiratory tract infections

4) Vitamin D and Immune System Regulation (including cytokines like IL-6)

5) Vitamin D and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), comorbidities and associations

3) Summary of some Remdesivir data in in-vitro and in-vivo (mice and rhesus monkeys) studies used in treatment of other coronaviruses like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV

*DISCLAIMER* Although there has been a meta-analysis showing reduced risk of acute respiratory tract infections with daily/weekly recommended doses of Vitamin D, WE DON’T have enough evidence to say that Vitamin D is protective against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) – WE ONLY HAVE ASSOCIATIONS/CORRELATIONS at this point.
