Global demand from iHerb customers for these vitamins is up more than 
100-percent from 2019 to 2020 and more than 300-percent in the United States 
alone. 

During a recent Instagram Live interview, Director of the National Institute of 
Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke about the potential 
health benefits of both vitamins as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

"If you're deficient in vitamin D (

), that does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection," Dr. Fauci 
said. "I would not mind recommending, and I do it myself, taking vitamin D 
supplements." 

Vitamin D is created when people are exposed to UV rays from the sun and is 
present in some foods such as certain fatty fish like salmon, beef liver, 
cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D may help maintain bone strength and support 
immune function according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of 
Dietary Supplements.  

"The other vitamin that people take is vitamin C (

) because it's a good antioxidant," Dr. Fauci continued during the Instagram 
Live interview. "So if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C, that 
would be fine."

iHerb urges customers considering taking vitamin D or C supplements to first 
check with their own health care provider for advice before doing so.
