Overview
Brief Summary
A total of 218 participants will be included in this study, and will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the group taking vitamin D2 and the group not taking vitamin D2. Participants in the group taking vitamin D2 orally will receive 200,000 IU of vitamin D2 on the first day of the trial, and again two weeks later (200,000 IU) . The group that will not receive vitamin D2 will not receive any intervention. The whole trial will laste four weeks.
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized controlled multicenter clinical trial. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria can be included in this trial after signing informed consent.
