This episode with hosted by Diane Bao with two interesting research articles to discuss today. One is about COVID-19 severity and vitamin D, and the other is about increasing rates of melatonin use among US adults.
A review of 6 randomized controlled trials with over 500 COVID patients indicates that COVID patients undergoing vitamin D supplementation have lower rates of ICU admission and death compared to COVID patients not taking vitamin D.
The melatonin study, published in February 2022, reviews around 55,000 Americans’ responses on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. From 1999-2018, the prevalence of melatonin use increased significantly.
