Petition Action

Cut vitamin D deficiency by free supplements and sun exposure to boost immunity.

Petition Details

The UK has high vitamin D deficiency rates especially BAME and old people. Vitamin D has a role in immunity. Reducing deficiency has a significant effect on frequency & severity of some respiratory infections. We ask that the Government provides vitamin D supplements and advises safe sun exposure.

Additional Information

Undue numbers of health and care workers now dying are BAME. D-Deficiency increases with amount of skin pigment, age, obesity and latitude from equator. It reduces effectiveness of immune systems. Staying inside will increase deficiency rates. We urge safe sun exposure with social distancing to boost vitamin D levels & free vitamin D supplements for all. 4000iu daily is considered safe and effective for adults. Children should be given a size commensurate dose. scotsneedvitamind.com/covid-19/
