Nutrition To Treat And Prevent COVID-19

The latest press released from the Orthomolecular folks contains interesting observations and helpful tips for proper supplementation while we live in a pandemic.

Here are some of the highlights of a press release from the Society for Orthomolecular Medicine:

* Information about effective prevention methods has been censored.  

* It has been clearly shown over decades that several essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and selenium, have anti-viral properties.

* Adequate nutrition has been shown in a variety of epidemiological studies to effectively prevent viral infection.

* Thus, even though it is known that the nutritional protocol is effective for preventing a wide variety of viral infections, and has been shown in small clinical trials to be effective in treating COVID-19 to prevent serious pneumonia and death......

Lastly, as I have written about previously, here is what should be taken on a daily basis:

- Vitamin C, 1000 mg (or more) 3 times daily
- Vitamin D, 5,000 IU/day
- Magnesium 400 mg/d (in malate, citrate, chelate, or chloride form)
- Zinc, 20 mg/d
- Selenium 100 mcg/d
