Vitamin D, Immune System and COVID-19 – What is the link

Lewis Maleh talks with Professor Adrian Martineau, Clinical Professor of Respiratory Infection and Immunity, Queen Mary University of London. In this episode they talk about how vitamin D plays a role in reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection, and who are at higher risks of deficiencies. In the past decade, studies have found that taking vitamin D can lower the chances of developing respiratory infections like the cold and flu, especially among people who have documented deficiencies. Now scientists are trying to find out whether vitamin D might also help protect against Covid-19. *This episode was recorded live on google hangouts.
