Taking supplements won’t “prevent you from getting [the coronavirus] and they’re not going to prevent you from dying” – a hard look at micronutrients and their effect on Covid-19

Researchers from University of Toledo in Ohio, United States, reviewed Covid-19 hospitalisation data from all over the globe and found that supplements that boost the immune system such as vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc do not lower your chances of dying from the novel coronavirus.

The researchers say that they conducted a meta-analysis of multiple studies from around the world “to provide a quantitative assessment of the clinical significance of these individual micronutrients in Covid-19.” The researchers write: “We identified 26 studies involving 5,633 Covid-19 patients that compared three individual micronutrient supplements with SOC [standard-of-care].”

Five of the studies were on zinc in 738 patients, comparing the supplement intake with standard-of-care . The researchers found that “zinc supplementation was not associated with a significant reduction of mortality .”
