Funding from the National Institutes of Health will enable a Penn State researcher to study whether vitamin D supplementation could help people ward off or reduce symptoms caused by COVID-19.  Margherita Cantorna, a professor of molecular immunology and nutrition in the College of Agricultural Sciences, received nearly $241,000 to support her research.  Cantorna’s research group has shown that vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining health in the gastrointestinal tract.   Controlling inflammation caused by the virus may improve outcomes for COVID-19 patients.
