We do not know if it is safe - it is a metabolite of vitamin d3 but more potent and it’s effects on calcium and long term effects not known. Also this is not a robust randomised trial and full of bias more trials needed @vitdalize @79ka2011 @DavidDavisMP
This is a very important study on vitamin D and Covid-19. Its findings are incredibly clear. An 80% reduction in need for ICU and a 60% reduction in deaths, simply by giving a very cheap and very safe therapy - calcifediol, or activated vitamin D. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
