Support H. Res. 116 to Recognize the Role Vitamin D May Play in the Fight Against COVID-19
US Representative Glenn Grothman (R-WI) has introduced a House Resolution to “recognize the significant role vitamin D may play in the fight against COVID-19.” The resolution outlines many studies that show the relationship between vitamin D intake and health outcomes, especially as related to the pandemic, and recognizes that the science is clear: adequate vitamin D intake reduces COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and death.
The resolution urges the CDC, FDA, and NIH to study the connection between Vitamin D intake and COVID-19 and to issue guidance on vitamin D intake for elderly and immunocompromised individuals during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a press release regarding the resolution, Grothman stated “We have been told to listen to the science regarding COVID-19 since its inception. Now, 120 doctors from several of the world’s most prestigious medical institutions concur that there is overwhelming evidence that vitamin D can be effective in decreasing the severity of COVID-19, but our government’s top public health agencies still have not pursued this credible lead. The unwillingness of these agencies to investigate this lead has undoubtedly cost many lives. I once again call on the CDC, FDA, and NIH to study the connection between vitamin D deficiencies and COVID-19 and let the public know how this could help them in our fight against the virus, just as they have with other prevention methods during the pandemic.”
Please send a message to your House Representative to support this important resolution!
