Abstract

Recent studies have reported beneficial effects of vitamin D both in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. This has been mainly related to its mechanisms of action within the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the immune response, and the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, important pathways in COVID-19 pathophysiology.
