Scientists hope that the large-scale trial will help to find out if correcting people’s vitamin D deficiencies over winter can reduce the risk and/or severity of Covid-19 and other acute respiratory infections.
Pharma Nord’s Bio-Vitamin D3 has been chosen for the Coronavit study because of its long-established use in other clinical trials and a number of previously published studies which show Bio-Vitamin D3’s effectiveness and its ability to raise vitamin D levels in the blood.
Bent Henriksen, Pharma Nord UK managing director, said:
For a total of six months, the Coronavit study participants will be given supplements of vitamin D in two different strengths.
Half the subjects will be taking 20-microgram capsules, while the other half will be given capsules with 80 micrograms. The study is open-label and has no placebo group.
Those behind the trial say that it has the potential to give a definitive answer to the question of whether vitamin D offers protection against Covid-19 and other respiratory infections.
The UK Government already recommends that adults and children over four years old consider taking a daily Vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter.
The Coronavit study has received funding from Fischer Family Trust, a charity organization specialised in supporting medical research and education. It is also supported by Barts Charity and the Aim Foundation.
Pharma Nord’s Bio-Vitamin D3, which is made in a wide range of different strengths, has been used in a series of other scientific studies into the effects of vitamin D supplementation.
One study was conducted by researchers from Oslo University and looked at vitamin D and muscle strength. Another study was carried out by Norwegian scientists and looked at vitamin D and its role in the well-being of school pupils.
Both studies used Bio-Vitamin D3 and showed that the product resulted in significant increases in vitamin D blood levels, indicating that the supplement has good bioavailability.
More than 300 different clinical studies have been carried out using Pharma Nord products over the past 30 years, including a number of ground-breaking trials.
Two of the most noteworthy studies made using Pharma Nord products are the heart health trials Q-Symbio and KiSel-10, which used Pharma Nord’s Bio-Quinone Q10 and Bio-Quinone Q10 with SelenoPrecise respectively.
The studies are published in leading medical journals and are often used as leverage for preventative use of nutritional supplements.
Pharma Nord’s Bio-Quinone Q10 is used as the reference product by the International Coenzyme Q10 Association for research into the effects of Q10 supplementation.
