Vitamin D and SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Abstract

The review about the influence of vitamin D (Vit D) on the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection is presented in this article. It has then been suggested that according to its potential impact on immune response and more particularly on the ACE2 pathway Vit D works as a prevention of severe cases, or in combination with other treatments as necessary supplement to improve recovery. While no benefit has been evidenced in having excess Vit D levels, still Vit D levels very likely affect the severity of SARSCoV- 2 infection and it is, therefore recommended to secure Vit D levels up to suggested values.
