    British Member of Parliament David Davis is urging the British government to strengthen its vitamin D supplementation program for people at-risk of
    COVID-19 following an impressive precedent set by Andalusia in Spain.

    Speaking before the House of Commons on Thursday, Davis said that Britain should follow the lead of Andalusia, which distributed calcifediol, a
    vitamin D supplement, to care home residents last November. Since then, the Spanish region's COVID-19 deaths dropped by 82 percent.

    Because of this, Davis is imploring the British government to increase its dosage recommendations and implement a widespread vitamin D rollout.

    The state already provides free vitamin D supplies to care home residents
    under the Public Health England's advice that they get 10 micrograms (mcg) daily for protection. However, Davis said this amount is too small to have a significant effect and the program should be for all at-risk populations.

    But health officials said that there's not enough evidence just yet for them
    to authorize or recommend taking vitamin D for treatment. This was despite a mountain of studies showing vitamin D deficiency can predispose people to severe COVID-19.

    That's what happens when you don't get the "sunshine vitamin"
    by staying indoors under "lockdown"...

    When I took a retirement planning course, one thing the MD hammered
    home during her segment was the importance of taking a vitamin D
    supplement. The further north you live, the less time you spend
    outside, and the darker your skin, the more likely you are to have a
    vitamin D deficiency:

    "Almost 70% of the US population has insufficient levels of vitamin D
    when defined as less than 30 ng/mL, according to data combined from
    many studies."

    OTOH, I would suggest that you probably want to see a doctor first if
    you plan on taking more that 1,000 IU a day.


    And this is regardless of COVID.
