Benefits of Vitamin D expounded in another study, although a small sample size, potential to reduce risk of ICU visit.

Here’s the study: Castillo, Marta Entrenas, et al. “Effect of Calcifediol Treatment and best Available Therapy versus best Available Therapy on Intensive Care Unit Admission and Mortali…

The Vitamin D thing was one of the first positive measures mentioned and then roundly criticized. Yet here it is again.

Our son tested positive on Wednesday. We tested on Friday and got our results back in less than 24 hours. We tested negative. He broke out in hives last night, but has had no other types of symptoms. First I've heard of hives with covid. Told him to take some Benadryl last night. This morning he said they were gone. Hope that is a good sign.

Interesting, I have a friend in the suntan industry that has been pushing Vitamin D as a preventative measure, albeit sun and artificial sun. Obviously she has a biased, but plenty of evidence to back up beneficial claims. The calcifediol approach is interesting as studies I've seen in the past suggest Vitamin D supplements do not have the same benefit as Vitamin D produced by your skin. Pretty significant results if they can be reproduced.

Could be an allergic reaction to the virus or something totally unrelated. We've had mysterious cases of hives more than once in the household, only to never repeat. Hope he stays well.

It’s laughable to me that people scof at things called “Essential vitamins and minerals” lol.. they are called essential bc you die without them.. that’s how powerful they are..

like Zinc.. it is well established that zinc is a powerful anti viral..it’s that zinc is challenging to absorb..

I don't know about the youngsters on here but this old guy was told by my Doctor long before Covid about the benefits of Vitamin D. There's even a blood test for it. I found an immunity blend of Vitamin A & D that I have taken daily ever since. Irrespective of Covid everybody should probably be taking Vitamin D supplements.

Agree, so much good from vitamin D,C,B..that helps continue to maintain and build your immunity. I wish more stories and awareness would be brought forth in this area and it’s impact on fighting viruses. I think COVID-19 has brought better attention to how unhealthy the U.S. is, but people can change their habits towards it.

Never know with Covid. Hoping and praying for a reaction on the very mild side. Stay safe!!

Or just getting out in the sun. It is part of why the "stay inside, stay alive" campaign drove me so nuts. Terrible advice.

And what helps people absorb the zinc is ..... ugh...never mind. Don’t want to trigger people with science and facts and stuff.

Back to positive news, ISU cases down by half week ending September 6th

14.55% for last week. Nice drop. Hopefully keeps dropping.

12.9% yesterday for story. After a one day jump in the 14 day average, it comes back down and the two day net is down 0.1% to 20.3%. If the trend continues it will drop under 20% tomorrow and should be 15% or better after the week. Still higher than anybody wants, but trending in the right direction. While in Ames Sunday, saw masks on everybody inside and on many people outside, especially when people were going to get near each other.

The mask mandate has really pushed better mask wearing habits.

I've always started taking Vitamin C when I get sick, and keep on it for awhile. Eventually stopping because I haven't been sick for awhile and forget about it. Then I would get sick again, and repeat.

Ever since COVID broke out, I've been taking 2,000 milligrams of it every day, and haven't had so much as a a cold. I'm not saying it's a silver bullet, but I've never been sick while maintaining a Vitamin C regimen.
