Throughout the pandemic, health data has been increased. Host of people have switched to using vitamins and supplements to fight the virus. Optimal nutrition can improve well-being and might mitigate the risk and morbidity associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The majority of documents encouraged the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods. Thirty-one percent of the guidelines highlighted the importance of minerals and vitamins such as zinc and vitamins C, A, and D to maintain a well-functioning immune system. In this article, we analyze clinical analysis for vitamins and supplements in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 infections.
