Vitamin and mineral complexes in prevention, treatment and rehabilitation after acute respiratory viral infections and new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

Abstract

The presented review considers the issues of non-specific prevention of acute respiratory viral infections, with an emphasis on a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) using vitamin and mineral complexes. Data are presented on the capabilities of selenium and zinc trace elements, vitamins A, C, E in the prevention and treatment of patients with acute respiratory viral infections and COVID-19 infection. The possible use of vitamin-mineral complexes in the rehabilitation period, with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome as part of the post-COVID syndrome, is discussed.
