Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential benefits of Vitamin D in lowering the risk of covid-19 infections.
This question was answered on 17th May 2021
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Public Health England and the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition published a rapid guideline on vitamin D and COVID-19 in December 2020. This concluded that there is currently not enough evidence to support taking vitamin D solely to prevent or treat COVID-19.
