Vitamin D and Influenza: more than a theory March, 2010 Up until a few days ago, the idea that vitamin D offered protection against the flu was a theory, a good theory, but still just a theory. As of March 10, this has changed. It was on that day that The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a randomized trial of vitamin D supplements to see if they would prevent seasonal influenza in school children. The results were impressive. School children taking 1200 iu of vitamin D a day had a 42% lower risk of catching the flu than kids taking placebo.
