Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths.

TL;DR: Evidence supporting the role of vitamin D in reducing risk of COVID-19 includes that the outbreak occurred in winter, a time when 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are lowest; that the number of cases in the Southern Hemisphere near the end of summer are low; that vitamin D deficiency has been found to contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome; and that case-fatality rates increase with age and with chronic disease comorbidity.

ReviewQuantifying the food sources of basal vitamin d input

TL;DR: While some food sources were significant predictors of vitamin D status, their ability to explain inter-individual variability was limited and Supplementation will likely remain essential to improving vitamin D Status on a population level.
