The National Institutes for Health (NIH) reviews an article from the Medical Journal of Virology as they take a look at vitamins and their role in past treatment. More research is needed but this article discusses what researchers and health providers have already learned and possible options for the future.
The article states as part of the conclusion, We have found that the general treatments are very important to enhance host immune response against RNA viral infection. The immune response has often been shown to be weakened by inadequate nutrition in many model systems as well as in human studies. However, the nutritional status of the host, until recently, has not been considered as a contributing factor to the emergence of viral infectious diseases. Therefore, we propose to verify the nutritional status of COVID‐19 infected patients before the administration of general treatments. In addition, we also found coronavirus‐specific treatments and antiviral treatments were very useful for the treatment of SARS and MERS. They should also be considered as potential treatments for COVID‐19 infection. The other compounds should also be chosen as alternative options for the treatment as well as new drug designs.
