Since COVID-19 arrived in our lives, there’s been a lot of chatter about whether we should be taking supplementary vitamin D to help prevent or even treat it.
The vitamin – also referred to as the sunshine vitamin because our bodies make it when we’re exposed to the light – is especially important in autumn and winter when people tend to spend less time outdoors.
During the winter months, many are advised to take vitamin D supplements to keep bones and muscles healthy and to support general health. But in the context of COVID-19, can it be of additional help? Health experts are cautious to make a clear link.

Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine is 91.6 per cent effective at preventing symptomatic covid-19, preliminary results suggest. The vaccine has been submitted to European Union regulators for approval.
The data is based on interim results from a trial of 21,977 adults. Three-quarters of the participants were randomly assigned to receive two doses of the vaccine, the remainder were given a placebo.

Of the 14,964 people who received the vaccine, 16 developed symptomatic covid-19 compared with 62 out of 4902 in the placebo group. The results, published today in
The Lancet, suggest efficacy was similar across all age groups, including among people over the age of 60.
