Since the spread of coronavirus infection, many scientists have started talking about the effectiveness of zinc supplementation with vitamins D and C in reducing the incidence of adverse outcomes from COVID-19.. However, the latest study conducted by American specialists at the University of Toledo showed that these supplements do not reduce the risk of death among patients with coronavirus infection..

“Since the spread of coronavirus infection, medical workers have actively used the use of vitamins and trace elements to treat this disease.. However, as practice shows, so far there is no absolute data confirming the effectiveness of this strategy,” says Dr. Azizula Beran..

During the study, scientists analyzed data from 26 previous studies, which involved about 5,600 volunteers who were treated for COVID-19.

A comparative analysis did not reveal differences in mortality among people who took vitamins C and D as supplements to the main treatment, as well as zinc supplements, as well as those who did not take these supplements and vitamins..

Then the scientists analyzed groups of patients who took only vitamin D, and the intake of this drug occurred long before infection with the new coronavirus.. And in this case, there were no significant differences in the number of deaths between those taking vitamin D supplements and those who did not take it, according to the pages of the MedicalXpress portal..
