Objective: to determine how Vit-D acts at the immune system level reducing the risk of severity by COVID-19. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results and conclusions: The defensive role of Vit-D against respiratory system related infections is demonstrated in clinical trials. Supplementation is suggested to maintain optimal circulating levels in the body. There is evidence of a significant association between Vit-D insufficiency/deficiency and susceptibility to COVID-19 and its severity. Therefore, Vit-D supplementation is suggested to maintain a serum concentration greater than 30 ng/mL to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its consequences.
