Peer Reviewed Study Bashing Vitamin D To Treat Covid Has Just Been FULLY DEBUNKED | Expert Explains

A recent RCT (CORONAVIT) by Joliffe et al of more than 6k participants showed vitamin D was INEFFECTIVE at reducing the risk of COVID-19/respiratory infections in those 16+—here are the flaws:

Individuals in the no treatment/placebo group were not given placebo, and were alerted the study was about vitamin D. Sadly, a recent analysis discovered that nearly 50% of the “no treatment/placebo” participants took their own personal vitamin D supplements.

The trial was 6 months. Important inclusion criterion <30 ng/mL 25(OH)D was required for entry into 800iu or 3200iu/day treatment groups. Those who initially tested 30+, were retested after 2 months, and if results were <30 were entered into the remaining 4 months of RCT. Therefore, 20% & 11% of the 3200iu/day and 800iu/day subjects were entered into the RCT at 4 months.

Moving on, a study by Seal et al showed appropriate vit d target range to meaningfully reduce the risk of covid-hospitalization/death was up 60 ng/mL VS 30 ng/mL min in Joliffe et al.

Next, by the mid/end of the study nearly 90% of participants received 1 or more doses of a COVID vaccine VS <3% at the beginning of the study.

The verdict: this study was methodologically flawed and incorrectly revealed that vitamin d was ineffective against reducing the risk of misc respiratory infections including COVID-19.
