Vitamin D levels appear to play role in COVID-19 mortality rates.
Vitamin D levels appear to play role in COVID-19 mortality rates.Patients with severe deficiency are twice as likely to experience major complications.Researchers analyzed patient data from 10 countries. The team found a correlation between low vitamin D levels and hyperactive immune systems.
Vitamin D strengthens innate immunity and prevents overactive immune responses. The finding could explain several mysteries, including why children are unlikely to die from COVID-19.
The researchers noted that patients from countries with high COVID-19 mortality rates, such as Italy, Spain and the UK, had lower levels of vitamin D compared to patients in countries that were not as severely affected.

VITAMIN C FOR DOGS.
Vitamin C is synthesized in liver of healthy dogs,but this ability is compromised in sick,debilitated and old dogs.Vitamin C is also depleted in cases of stress such as prolonged exercise,lactation, pregnancy, surgery and vaccinations.
The level of stress a dog experiences can be measured by the level of depletion of vitamin c in the dogs blood.Dogs placed on supplements of vitamin C,show greater resistance to disease and exhibit better recovery from illness and injuries.
Dogs with skin diseases usually have low levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C can be very low or absent in dogs with fever or have exercised beyond limits.Vitamin C improves the immune functions by enhancing the white blood cell function and activity.Vitamin C increases the blood level of interferon the body's natural antiviral and anti cancer compounds and antibodies,this is the reason its used to treat cancer.The effect of vitamin c on immune system is utilized in treating kennel cough,respiratory infections,abscess and bacterial infection.
Vitamin C, maintains health of collagen, this is very important in reversing degenerative joint diseases,hip dysplasia,arthritis and spinal disorders.Young and old dogs benefit from vitamin C supplement; the young dogs exposed to various stressors and the old dogs with joint issues e.t.c.
Vitamin C is very vital to dog's health and really comes in handy in practice, when presented with a weak, debilitated dog or lethargic dog , i always include a shot of vitamin C with my protocol and it always a success.When faced with cold/ cough i always give it alongside antibiotics and its also the only treatment for canine distemper.
Vitamin C is very handy, add it to your medicine box.In poultry ,when birds are to be vaccinated; i dissolve some tablets in their drinking water 2 days before vaccination. When birds are dull/inactive with low feed consumption; just add vitamin C to their water for 3 days you will be amazed at the turn around. When you observe that birds are stressed, give cool water with vitamin C .
Vitamin C ; a little does a lot of magic.
