COVID-19 and Vitamin D: Does the Evidence Support Supplementation for Preventing and Fighting Infection?

There is a flood of information, misinformation, interpretation, and misinterpretation. As a result, it is difficult for any of us to determine which information is accurate and which of that is applicable to us. By its very nature, a pandemic is dynamic and confusing. Remember when we were unsure whether or not to sanitize groceries as they came into the house? 

A Quick Overview of Viruses, Coronaviruses, and SARS-CoV-2
At its most basic, a virus is a tiny parasite. Within microbiology, there is even debate as to whether a virus is even a living organism, with the consensus trending toward no. Viruses are composed of either DNA or RNA surrounded by a shell of protein (it is this protein shell which earns coronaviruses their name). Viruses divide only inside the living cells of an organism. They have no capacity to reproduce outside of a host.

Viruses can infect humans, animals, plants, and bacteria. Some viral diseases in human are:

  • Flu;

  • Common cold;

  • Parainfluenza virus infection;

  • COVID-19;

  • Measles;

  • Smallpox;

  • Herpes;

  • AIDS.

Upgraded Tongkat Ali Extract Capsules Much More Than "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac" Over the years—through our website and through our Amazon store—our   Tongkat Ali Extract Capsules  are consistently one of our top selling products. And for good reason: Not only is Tongkat Ali an outstanding pro-androgenic herb, but the Tongkat Ali that goes into our products (either our bulk powder pouches or our extract capsules) is always of the highest quality and integrity.
