Critical analysis on the use of cholecalciferol as a COVID-19 intervention: a narrative review

CONCLUSIONS: Current studies on vitamin D used for purposes other than bone health promotion cannot be taken as support to justify its use in a disease as recent as COVID-19. Studies of greater robustness, with higher levels of clinical evidence, need to be conducted. Rational use of this vitamin needs to be ensured, thereby minimizing the impacts on the patient and the public healthcare system.PMID:33656132 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2020.0532.02112020
