Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growth in scientific interest in nutraceuticals, which are those nutrients in foods that have beneficial effects on health. Nutraceuticals can be extracted, used for food supplements, or added to foods. There has long been interest in the antiviral properties of nutraceuticals, which are especially topical in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to evaluate the main nutraceuticals to which antiviral roles have been attributed (either by direct action on viruses or by modulating the immune system), with a focus on the pediatric population. Furthermore, the possible applications of these substances against SARS-CoV-2 will be considered.

摘要

近年来，人们对营养保健品（nutraceuticals）的科学研究兴趣日益浓厚，营养保健品是指那些对健康有益的食物中的营养素。营养保健品可以提取出来，用于食品补充剂，也可以添加到食品中。人们很早就对营养保健品的抗病毒特性感兴趣，这在持续的 COVID-19 大流行背景下尤其具有现实意义。因此，本综述的目的是评估已被赋予抗病毒作用的主要营养保健品（通过直接作用于病毒或调节免疫系统），重点是儿科人群。此外，还将考虑这些物质对 SARS-CoV-2 的可能应用。
