US Representative Glenn Grothman (R-WI) has introduced a House Resolution to recognize the significant role vitamin D may play in the fight against COVID-19.
Citing an article on NutraIngredients, a press release from Grothman’s office noted that in December, 120 international health, science and medical experts sent an open letter to world governments stating that there is clear evidence that vitamin D reduces COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Grothman, who is serving his fourth term representing Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District, also pointed to a host of studies from Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, that reported strong correlations between vitamin D deficiencies and negative COVID-19 patient outcomes, including severe symptoms, hospital stays, ICU admittance, and overall mortality rate.
