Abstract:
Aims: This manuscript provides a summarize the role of some bioactive compounds during COVID-19. Methodology: A PubMed literature review was conducted using combinations of the key words “natural products,” “nutrients,” and “COVID-19.” Articles published in the last 10 years in the Pubmed database were included. Results: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and dietary factors can influence the transmission and/or progression of the disease. Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, turmeric, ginger and propolis have antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity and can be a great ally in the fight against the new coronavirus. Conclusion: Despite the diverse scientific evidence that points to the benefits of bioactive compounds in the treatment of COVID-19, more randomized and controlled studies are needed to determine the ideal doses of consumption or supplementation and the times when this administration is safe. In addition, understanding the environmental mechanisms that favor and maintain the pandemic is necessary for effective measures to be taken.
