Vitamin D reduces flu riskAssociation Between Vitamin D and Influenza: Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.
We explored the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation for reducing the risk of influenza infections. Through a comprehensive analysis of multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), we aimed to clarify whether taking vitamin D can help prevent the flu.
Our investigation identified 10 relevant trials that included a total of 4,859 participants. These studies varied in their dosages and duration of vitamin D use, allowing us to assess overall effectiveness across different populations.
The findings were encouraging: our analysis demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation appears to significantly reduce the risk of getting influenza, suggesting that those who increase their vitamin D intake might be better protected during flu season.
Importantly, we did not find significant differences between the studies that could affect our result, and there was no hint of publication bias. Consequently, we can confidently suggest that including vitamin D in our health strategies could enhance our defenses against the flu.

I took this alongside Omega 3, 6, 9 and Calcium for two months. During the local influenza outbreak, my family fell ill, yet I remained well. Normally, I easily catch viruses, especially in summer. After finishing the course, I noticed my skin and hair improved, with significantly less hair loss, likely due to the cumulative effect. Previously, I had a vitamin D3 deficiency, but I haven't checked my levels since.
