Slash Severity of Long Covid Symptoms
For many, COVID-19 seems like it’s in the rearview mirror.
But for folks living with Long COVID, the virus is staring you in the mirror every single day.
Symptoms like headaches, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, digestion issues, and dizziness can persist for months… or years.
And with no cure in sight, there’s no end in sight.
But there could be a way to reduce the severity of your symptoms.
While there’s still a lot to learn about Long COVID, what we do know is that it’s characterized by persistent inflammation.
With that in mind, researchers have turned to two well-known inflammation-fighters: vitamin D3 and vitamin K2.
For this study, 151 adults with long COVID took vitamin D3 (2,000 IUs) and vitamin K2 (240 ug) or standard care for 24 weeks.
After six months, those taking vitamins D3 and K2 had reductions in:
- Long COVID Research Index Scores, and
- Total number of symptoms.
Both of these measures increased in the standard care group.
The supplement group also saw improvements in gut health and inflammation markers, both of which impact the body’s immune response.
Here’s the thing about vitamins D and K2…
I’ve been telling you about research showing their benefits for COVID-19 for YEARS.
In one of those studies, people with COVID-19 who were deficient in vitamin D were 14 times more likely to end up in severe or critical condition.
In another study, low levels of vitamin K were tied to higher inflammation levels in people hospitalized with COVID-19.
You heard it here first, folks. Vitamins K2 an D3 boost key factors in your body that are critical for fighting off any infection… including COVID-19.
Whether you have Long COVID or not, boosting your levels of these nutrients can help your body get—or stay—healthy.
