Some supplements can contribute to boosting your immune system
First of all, you have to know that there are no magic pills that can prevent you from contracting the virus and you should take supplements ONLY if your doctor recommends you should because they do not work for everyone and may have worse side effects in some cases. But whether we are talking about supplements or foods, they can’t keep you away from contracting the virus, but they can help you boost your immune system so that you can fight the virus and not have severe symptoms!
According to Tod Cooperman, M.D., president and editor in chief of ConsumerLab.com, “a 2017 review of 25 studies, published in the British Medical Journal, found that a moderate daily dose of vitamin D may offer protection if you’re already low in the sunshine vitamin.”
There is a lot of news about the connection between zinc and coronavirus, but actually, there is no scientific evidence to confirm that zinc can prevent coronavirus, even though it is said that this mineral can reduce the symptoms of a common cold. So, ask your medic before taking supplements and always maintain a healthy diet. “If you start piling more zinc on top of that, you run a real risk of developing zinc-related toxicity,” Moyad explains.
Moreover, if you have not taken supplements for the last year, you do not have to take them now to recover the dose, because your health will be adversely affected.
