[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 177672, member: 12925"] Dr. Michael Greger says there's [URL='https://nutritionfacts.org/2019/04/18/how-much-do-vitamin-d-supplements-affect-lifespan/']good evidence Vitamin D decreases all cause mortality[/URL], which was my original reason for taking it. Any benefit in preventing covid-19 is a bonus: "While the majority of observational studies may [URL='http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24690624']show[/URL] a link, where you simply measure vitamin D levels and disease rates, in only a handful of conditions have [I]interventional[/I] studies—where you give people D supplements or placebos then see what happens—proven vitamin D to be effective. One of the conditions for which vitamin D supplements appear to genuinely work, however, is helping to prevent premature death. "Fifty-six randomized clinical trials involving nearly 100,000 people (mostly women) between the ages of 18 and 107 were randomized to four years of vitamin D supplements or sugar pills. Putting all the studies together showed those given vitamin D supplements lived longer and specifically had a lower risk of dying from cancer.
