Coronavirus and vitamin D: does it help?
In June the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) reviewed the existing evidence around vitamin D and respiratory tract infections in the context of COVID-19. They concluded that it didn’t show vitamin D supplements were beneficial in preventing or treating COVID-19 or respiratory tract infections.
Vitamin D spray vs tablets: spray better?
Oral sprays may be a preferable way for you to get your daily dose if you don’t find swallowing tablets easy, but this is the only real difference. The theory of whether sprays are better absorbed by the body was tested in a randomised, controlled trial (the gold standard of testing whether treatments work) and published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2019 to 2021.
How much vitamin D do you need?
We can get most of the vitamins and minerals we need from our diets. However, this isn’t the case with vitamin D and this is why we need to rely on supplements (and the sun).
If you prefer to drink your supplements we’d like to point you in the direction of this effervescent tablet – it has a zesty citrus flavour add a pep to your mornings.
