An interesting story happened here. Let's start with the fact that before, if a person got into intensive care for some reason, then a low level of vitamin D was often found in his blood.
During the epidemic, tiny studies were immediately launched, which unanimously assured that with low vitamin D levels, they were more likely to get covid.
True, reservations immediately appeared about the fact that these are usually people with obesity. At all times, they had less vitamin D in their blood, and with covid pneumonia, it was they who first of all began to choke and ended up in the hospital. So one with the other might not be directly related.
The British have a government program to provide the population with vitamin D. Therefore, they instantly collected information from three hundred thousand people, and it turned out that there is no connection between the level of the vitamin in the blood and the morbidity or mortality from covid. Bummer.
Even more challenging was a study that was conducted in Spain. They took people who were admitted to the hospital with covid and gave them not just vitamin D, but its metabolite.
Well, that is, ordinary vitamin D must be digested in the liver for a week, so that it really begins to act on our body. The Spaniards had no time to wait, because ready-made covid patients were already waiting in the emergency departments of hospitals. Therefore, the Spaniards gave them a semi-digested analogue of vitamin D, as if it had just come out of the liver in the heat of the heat. Well, they immediately shouted that everything worked out, and such patients were less likely to end up in intensive care and all that.
The Spanish study was correct, randomized. That is, sick people were averaged by special methods of medical statistics and divided into an intervention group and a control group so that they did not differ.
But a mysterious thing happened, and even in spite of the randomization, by some miracle there were more diabetics, hypertensive patients and other seriously ill people in the control group. Maybe that's why they ended up in intensive care.
In short, the medical community has decided that it will not be perverted with vitamin D, but simply that people will, by age, in the usual amount as they should eat it. These are the pies.
