A synthesis review of vitamins involved in the fight against Covid-19
Abstract
Although literature studies on earlier viruses such as
the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and
other similar viruses, in terms of treatment of coronavirus
suggested the repurposing of some antiviral
drugs, some Covid-19 specific treatments, general
forms of treatments, the use of convalescent plasma,
as well as nutritional interventions in the form of
vitamins, it is imperative to interrogate the nutritional
status, age, and comorbidities of each infected
patient before receiving any form of treatment. In
the absence of any conclusive treatment so far, the
study encourages the use of all likely interventions
that could help arrest the spread of the disease.
