A Recent Update on the Role of Nutraceuticals in COVID-19 Infection

The viral infection (SARS-CoV-2) COVID-19 has played havoc on the health of the human population globally. In late December 2019, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan city, China. Its destructive effects like acute respiratory distress syndrome then began to be globally reported. Many treatment options such as remdesvir and dexamethasone were used to treat and reduce the hospitalization rate among COVID-19 patients. Numerous scientific studies have reported the use of nutraceuticals as a therapy for COVID-19 patients to enhance immunity. Differently formulated multivitamins that are water and fat-soluble (A, B complex, D, and C) and minerals like Mg and Zn minimize the virulence of COVID-19, oxidative stress, C-reactive protein, as well as boost the immunity.
