The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? After two years mastered by coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, we are now witnessing a turnaround. The reduction of severe cases and deaths from COVID-19 led to increasing importance of a new disease called post-COVID syndrome. The term post-COVID is used to indicate permanency of symptoms in patients who have recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Immune, antiviral, antimicrobial therapies, as well as ozone therapy have been used to treat COVID-19 disease. Vaccines have then become available and administered worldwide to prevent the insurgence of the disease. However, the pandemic is not over yet at all given the emergence of new omicron variants. New therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. In this view, great interest was found in nutraceutical products, including vitamins (C, D, and E), minerals (zinc), melatonin, probiotics, flavonoids (quercetin), and curcumin. This review summarizes the role of nutraceuticals in the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19 disease and post-COVID syndrome.
是结束的开始还是开始的结束?在被新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)大流行笼罩了两年之后,我们现在正见证着一个转变。COVID-19严重病例和死亡人数的减少使得一种名为新冠后遗症的新疾病变得愈发重要。“新冠后”这个术语用于表明从严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染中康复的患者症状的持续性。免疫、抗病毒、抗菌疗法以及臭氧疗法已被用于治疗COVID-19疾病。随后疫苗问世并在全球范围内接种以预防该疾病的出现。然而,鉴于新的奥密克戎变种的出现,大流行根本尚未结束。迫切需要新的治疗策略。鉴于此,人们对营养保健品产生了浓厚兴趣,这些营养保健品包括维生素(C、D和E)、矿物质(锌)、褪黑素、益生菌、类黄酮(槲皮素)和姜黄素。本综述总结了营养保健品在预防和/或治疗COVID-19疾病及新冠后遗症中的作用。
