Vitamin D fails to help in severe COVID-19 casesLow levels of vitamin D have been linked to higher risk for severe COVID-19, but high vitamin D levels do not fix the problem. They randomly gave 240 patients hospitalised with severe COVID-19 either a single high dose of vitamin D3 or a placebo.

This study "suggests that HHC is significantly underutilised in the recovery of hospitalised COVID-19 patients."
