AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Since march of last year, Panhandle pharmacies started to see a spike in the demand for vitamins D, D and Zinc supplements.
“I bet our sales on immune support vitamins are up probably a good 200 percent,” said Mark Vogler, owner of Martin-Tipton Pharmacy.
As many people seek for ways to improve their immune health to prevent or fight COVID-19.
“They recommend the vitamin C but also the vitamin D,” said Ramesh Aludandi, pharmacist tech at Amarillo Pharmacy. “So, a lot of people who have been diagnosed with the COVID, they are very low level on the vitamin D so, that’s why they recommend them to take the vitamin D.”
