Dr. Monica Cisneros, DC received a lot of messages about this article published today. This news circulated on all media and social channels about Vitamin D which may be linked to COVID-19 severity and mortality. It has been proved by other scientific study that confirmed that Vitamin D protects against colds and flu. But there is more than Vitamin D. Vitamin D is about a balance with other very important Vitamins that allow that balance like Calcium, Vitamin K, Magnesium, Vitamin A. This is not new science. A healthy body, a strong immune system protects us. Please obtain lab test, to know your real values of Vitamin D which optimally should be 80. Do not supplement without getting an advise from your Healthcare provider. I, Dr. Monica Cisneros, DC want to help you. Reach out if you have questions about your results, you want more information of the services or test I offer you. Please share this information. Please be aware that Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that can cause toxicity. The body has not way to get rid of extra vitamin D. That is why laboratory testing and monitoring until we reach an optimal level is so critical. Why doctors prescribe 50,000 IU once a week and not the other vitamins? My concern if a patient has gastrointestinal issues, absorption is impaired. I much prefer to give 5,000 or 10,000 depending on the values and pair it with the other vitamins that are low after a comprehensive history, dietary evaluation and nutritional counseling. Vitamins should be a short term recommendations. Once we reach optimal levels we want to obtain our vitamins from our foods. I hope this video helps increase the understanding. I am here to help you.
