Does Vitamin D really help in lowering the severity of COVID-19 infection? If yes, what are the rich sources?

Yes, the recent studies have found that the adequate stores of Vitamin D in the body is associated with the lowered risk/severity of COVID-19.

But, there are few food sources of Vitamin D:

• Milk and Milk products (fortified with Vitamin D)
• Fatty fish
• Eggs
• Liver 

That’s why it is recommended to get sunlight exposure (exposure of 18% of the body) for a minimum of 15 minutes per day, between 11 am – 1pm, to ensure adequate stores of Vitamin D in the body.

And, in case, the above is not within the reach of an individual, he/she can always opt for Vitamin D supplements under the medical supervision.
