Building Immunity During COVID

Not getting enough of certain key nutrients challenges the immune system and increases the risk of COVID. Getting enough of these two vitamins may be especially important.

Getting enough of key nutrients is crucial for your immune system and may be very helpful for preventing infection and death from COVID.

This study looked to see if there was any correlation between supplementing vitamins C and D and immune status during COVID. There was!

Immune status was measured by the Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ), which tracks sudden fever, diarrhoea, headache, skin problems, muscle and joint pain, common cold and coughing. The study included 615 adults.

The study found both that taking vitamin D supplements and taking vitamin C supplements was significantly associated with better ISQ scores.

This study adds to the evidence that vitamins C and D can help support immunity during the COVID pandemic.
