Abstract :
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), an epidemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), has spread worldwide since it was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, leading to outbreaks of epidemics. Due to the increasing spread of this disease, definitive treatment and approved vaccines have not been found for it. In this study, we reviewed recent articles on the effect of vitamins (including vitamins A, B, and E) for treating coronavirus. This result suggests that some dietary supplements such as vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, etc.) have antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Dietary supplements consisting of vitamins and individual dietary habits can therefore be used as adjunctive therapy along with antiviral drugs in the treatment of COVID-19 disease.
