Any treatment for COVID-19 is not intended to replace vaccines and other measures e.g. social distancing etc.
However, COVID-19 is a problem globally. In our opinion, all treatments that are
- practical
- safe
- effective
should be used. No treatment is 100% and effective for all variants.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve heard a lot about nutrition, immunity and COVID-19...most of it based on theory, not actual scientific evidence.
Nutritional supplementation for COVID-19 is an attractive option due to:
- wide availability
- low cost, particularly in developing nations
- relatively safe
However, initially there was no data regarding nutrition, nutrition components and supplements in COVID-19. Luckily scientific data from studies with COVID-19 patients has started to emerge.
The strongest scientific evidence regarding supplements to help people who are infected with COVID-19 is for:
There is some scientific evidence for:
probiotics
selenium
vitamin A
zinc
There is theoretical scientific evidence for:
antioxidants
phytonutrients such as polyphenols and flavonoids
The best evidence we have suggests that regarding COVID-19 infection, earlier supplementation is better!
