(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. Your mileage may vary. Past results are not a guarantee of future performance.)

Some medical journals are reporting initial data on the link between low Vitamin D (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]) and poor outcomes from a COVID-19 infection.

For myself, I’ve already been taking a daily supplement (2000 IU) for years after a routine test showed low levels. I also tend to spend as much time outside in the sunshine as I’m able to do.

Anyway, another possible “cheap insurance” against going for an early dirt nap.

(Ovaltime has Vitamin D – not much, however, and a bunch of empty calories from sugars.)

If you make it with milk - it has vitamin D also … plus calories.

Ovaltine? A crummy commercial?

(sorry, it had to be said)

I usually take 5000IU/day Vit D (per dr orders), but I’ve run out and I’m procrastinating going to Costco for more. I wonder if that’s one of the items they’ll deliver…

Make sure you eat a well balanced diet. Some vitamins are fat soluble, like vitamin A, and you’ll have trouble absorbing them into your system if you’re on a low-fat diet.
