Early in the pandemic, millions of Americans who showed long COVID-like symptoms weren\u2019t diagnosed due to testing constraints. A recent study found that 41 percent of these individuals had an immune response consistent with SARS-CoV-2 exposure, suggesting they might have had COVID-19.

While most people who contract the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus can generally expect to make a full recovery, some experience symptoms lasting weeks or months after the initial infection has gone. Extreme tiredness is especially common in long COVID.<\/p>\n Significantly, therefore, research shows that low levels of vitamin D are associated with long COVID. Confirming this, a study<\/a> recently published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism<\/em> suggests that vitamin D levels should be evaluated in COVID-19 patients after hospital discharge. Previous research has shown that vitamin D supplements protect against COVID-19 related intensive care-related hospitalization<\/a> and that high doses cut the risk of death<\/a> from the virus by 60 percent.<\/p>\n To read about the use of high-dose vitamin C to treat post-viral fatigue and long COVID, see this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Early in the pandemic, millions of Americans who showed long COVID-like symptoms weren\u2019t diagnosed due to testing constraints.
