Doctors warn vitamin D is ‘no magic bullet’ for coronavirus
People should not believe the hype around taking mega doses of the supplement, 21 researchers say
Doctors have warned against people taking mega doses of vitamin D to prevent or treat COVID-19, saying there is no reliable evidence to back up the practice.
In recent weeks, media reports have recommended high doses of vitamin D — up to 10,000 IUs daily — as it may lower the risk of contracting the virus.
