Vitamin D and Covid-19: Covit-D Consortium

Dr. Martin Healy:

Referring to the question about Iceland, it seems counter-intuitive that they do not have any sun as such during winter but their vitamin D levels are quite good. That is just down to their diet. They eat predominantly fish, seal meat and so on, which has high concentrations of vitamin D. That is really the reason their vitamin D levels are okay. It is diet-related, not sun-related.
