The doctor said about the relationship of vitamin D and the strain “Omicron”

Against the backdrop of a new wave of coronavirus COVID-19 in Russia, which has already led to a significant increase in daily morbidity, doctors urge citizens not to panic and not to take various medicines thoughtlessly. The standard advice is the same: following the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor, vaccination, strengthening immunity. At the same time, many doctors warn their potential patients against purchasing a variety of drugs whose effectiveness in the fight against the virus has not yet been proven. And experts call some drugs quite suitable for strengthening the body in the current situation.

Doctor of Medical Sciences Vladislav Shafalinov in an interview with “Tsargrad” recommended take vitamin C and vitamin D during a period of high covid incidence. According to the doctor, vitamin C is known to support immunity. And vitamin D, the doctor pointed out, can affect the body’s vulnerability to the micron.

“A number of my friends and colleagues believe that this (increased incidence) is connected with vitamin D deficiency,” the doctor said.

“That is, you need to use vitamin D,” the channel’s interlocutor added.

Vitamins in the form of dietary supplements, as noted by most doctors, should be taken after consultation with specialists. But there is also natural sources of vitamin D – fatty fish, eggs (yolk), butter, goat’s milk, mushrooms. Another natural source is sunlight (walking in the fresh air, sunbathing, provided that the skin is protected from excess ultraviolet radiation).

Also, Dr. Shafalinov advised, as an ideal prevention, to simply focus on a healthy lifestyle: do not abuse bad habits, “try to get enough sleep, eat normally.”

He considered visiting pharmacies and buying antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs unreasonable: this or that medicine is not suitable for everyone and its intake must be agreed with the attending physician.
