Vitamin D and Covid-19

Have you ever heard of Pascal’s Wager?

Here are 2 videos about how Vitamin D is likely to reduce the seriousness of Covid-19 complications. This is not like a vaccine, preventing you from getting Covid-19. This is not a cure. What Vitamin D seems to do is reduce the likelihood of respiratory complications in people who have contracted Covid-19.

I’ve already shared this idea with you: ‘Vitamin D could save your life’. Now here are two videos sharing some more research.

The first video is on a very small study in Spain, and the details are shared in an easy to understand explanation.

The second video is more technical, but also looks at more than one study.

Back to Pascal’s wager: here are 4 scenarios based on Vitamin D working as the research suggests vs not:

1. Vitamin D can reduce the seriousness of Covid-19 and you don’t take it. -> You might catch Covid-19 and things could get much worse than if you took it.

2. Vitamin D can reduce the seriousness of Covid-19 and you take it. -> You might catch Covid-19 and have a much milder or less serious case. Even if you don’t catch Covid-19, most people are deficient in Vitamin D and so it still helps you.

3. Vitamin D won’t reduce the seriousness of Covid-19 and you don’t take it. -> No loss or benefit.

4. Vitamin D won’t reduce the seriousness of Covid-19 and you take it. -> As said above, even if you don’t catch Covid-19, most people are deficient in Vitamin D and so it still helps you.

It seems that the potential benefits vs no downside makes adding the supplement to your daily routine worth it!

Can you take too much Vitamin D? Yes. Google searches have given me a variety of results, but it seems that it would take excessive supplement overuse for a prolonged period to cause issues.

I’m not a doctor, I don’t pretend to be one. I just see so much upside to taking Vitamin D. Talk to your doctor or share the videos above with friends who are doctors. See what they have to say.

Vitamin D could save your life

Let me start by saying I’m not a medical doctor and I don’t play one on the internet.

Now that’s out of the way, I’ve already touted the value of Vitamin D last September, and I’m here to do it again. Watch this clip of Dr. Rhonda Patrick on the Joe Rogan podcast: (full podcast here)


TLDR (Or actually Too Long Didn’t watch): Vitamin D has very significant correlation with reduced respiratory infections.

Will Vitamin D reduce your chance of getting Covid-19? Maybe. Jury is out, and while it may help prevent it, it is in no way a vaccine or a cure.

Will Vitamin D help reduce the consequences of Covid-19 after contracting it? Very likely!

Very likely!!!

Take your Vitamin D. Share the video clip above widely.
