A new study has found a significant correlation between vitamin D
deficiency and an elevated risk of developing long COVID. Researchers
discovered that individuals with lower levels of vitamin D in their system
were more prone to experiencing prolonged symptoms after contracting the
virus. Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2
infection (PASC), can result in persistent health issues, such as fatigue,
brain fog, and shortness of breath, among others. While the exact
mechanisms behind this link are still being investigated, experts suggest
that vitamin D’s role in regulating the immune system and reducing
inflammation may contribute to its influence on long COVID outcomes.
Further research is needed to ascertain the precise relationship between
vitamin D levels and the severity and duration of post-COVID symptoms.
