Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps keep your bones strong, but it also helps your body fight off sickness. Some studies show that getting enough vitamin D might help protect you from getting really sick with COVID-19 or other breathing illnesses.

It helps your body build a barrier against viruses and keeps your immune system from overreacting. People who don’t have enough vitamin D might get sicker if they catch COVID-19.

So, getting enough vitamin D — from sunlight, food, or vitamins — might help you stay healthier.

Vitamin D has been studied quite a bit for COVID, mostly because it plays a role in the immune system. There’s some suggestion it might help a bit—especially if someone is deficient—but the data is mixed and the benefit is pretty modest at best. It’s not a main treatment for COVID. Overall, it’s reasonable to keep vitamin D levels up, but it’s more of a supportive measure than something that makes a big difference on its own.
