YANEZ-CHICAIZA, Edith Yesenia e GALARZA-GALARZA, Cinthia Katherine. Vitamin D: An adjuvant therapy in the management of covid-19. Salud y Vida [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.15, pp.65-79. Epub 25-Mar-2024. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v8i15.3199.
Objective:
to determine how Vit-D acts at the immune system level reducing the risk of severity by COVID-19.
Methods:
Descriptive observational study.
Results and conclusions:
The defensive role of Vit-D against respiratory system related infections is demonstrated in clinical trials. Supplementation is suggested to maintain optimal circulating levels in the body. There is evidence of a significant association between Vit-D insufficiency/deficiency and susceptibility to COVID-19 and its severity. Therefore, Vit-D supplementation is suggested to maintain a serum concentration greater than 30 ng/mL to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its consequences.
Palavras-chave : Vit-D; COVID-19; supplementation; therapy.
