Vitamin D for COVID-19
8th treatment shown to reduce risk in
October 2020, now with p < 0.00000000001 from 126 studies, recognized in 18 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols
combine treatments.
6,300+ studies for
210+ treatments. c19early.org

Prospective analysis of 68 COVID-19 ICU patients in South Africa, showing a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. There was no significant difference in mortality based on vitamin D sufficiency, however this result does not account for the different risk of being admitted to the ICU, or potential supplementation during the course of COVID-19 prior to ICU admission.
This is the 181st of 226 COVID-19 sufficiency studies for vitamin D, which collectively show higher levels reduce risk with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 115,066,047,903,039,356,928 vigintillion).

risk of death, 1.0% lower, HR 0.99, p = 0.97, high D levels (≥50nmol/L) 16 of 31 (51.6%), low D levels (<50nmol/L) 38 of 55 (69.1%), NNT 5.7, Kaplan-Meier.
