Role of #VitaminD in immunity during #COVID19.
1. Vit D is a major precursor for activation of T-cell (for any disease)
2. Vitamin D controls cytokines storm in COVID that causes blood clot & vascular damage of the organs like Kidneys, heart, Brain and ultimately death. Thread

1. Review @SpringerOpen provides detail insight on role of Vitamin D in building immunity by modulating monocytes, denditric cells, T and B cells. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/5584_2018_246

2. Scientists @uni_copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses & w/out sufficient intake of the vitamin, T cells will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100307215534.htm
3. In this ancillary study of a randomized controlled trial, authors found that high-dose vitamin D3 significantly reduced CD4 T-cell activation compared to low-dose vitamin D3, providing human evidence that vitamin D can influence cell-mediated immunity. https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/101/2/533/2810779
