According to some recent research around Vitamin D levels appear to play role in COVID-19 mortality rates.

Observational data comparing outcomes from various countries suggest inverse links between vitamin D levels and the severity of COVID-19 responses, as well as mortality, with the further suggestion of an effect of vitamin D on the immune response to infection.

They found that patients with severe Vitamin D deficiency were twice as likely to experience major complications when it came to COVID-19 symptoms and responses.

How Do I Measure My Vitamin D Levels?

Vitamin D Levels are actually pretty easy and relatively cheap to measure.

You can either ask your doctor to run your Vitamin D levels or you can order a kit like the one HERE and measure your Vitamin D levels from the safety and comfort of your own home with a simple finger prick.

How Can I Raise My Vitamin D Levels?

The simplest way to increase Vitamin D in the body is to simply get outside in the sun for 20-30 minutes per day and expose the majority of your skin to direct sunlight.

If you aren't able to do that, you can take an oral Vitamin D supplement as well. Have a Functional Medicine practitioner run and assess your Vitamin D levels so that they can suggest the right dosage for you to keep your Vitamin D levels within the optimal range.

The Most Efficient Way To Increase Vitamin D Levels

While the sun may be the cheapest way to increase your Vitamin D levels, the most efficient way to increase Vitamin D is to get a quick injection of it while getting an IV at Drip IV Therapies.

At Drip IV, we offer Vitamin D boosters!
