Fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods are good sources of the essential nutrients that are needed for achieving and maintaining a strong immune system. Not surprisingly, therefore, research clearly shows that an optimum supply of these nutrients plays a key role in the prevention and control of COVID-19.

Vitamin C plays a central role in defending the body from COVID-19. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2023 examined 11 randomized controlled trials and found “significant mortality benefits” when vitamin C is used against COVID-19. The results were particularly notable in patients with severe forms of the disease.

Other important nutrients include vitamin D, which in high doses has been found to cut the risk of death from COVID-19 by 60 percent. Daily doses of vitamin D3, magnesium, and vitamin B12 have similarly been shown to reduce the severity of COVID-19 in older patients. There is also definitive evidence that vitamin D supplements protect against COVID-19-related intensive care hospitalization.

To learn how scientists at the Dr. Rath Research Institute have shown that combining vitamin C with other natural compounds impedes key mechanisms of coronavirus infection, see this article on our website.
